This Robo-Vac has a few gimmicks, frustratingly has a mind of its own, but is pretty good in operation and easy to use. The amount dust it collects is equivalent to our Vax wand-vacuum. Electric cables, loose rugs, some types of furniture [especially fan-plinths] trap & defeat it completely, extremely confined spaces ditto, but overall it does a pretty good job as an auxiliary vacuum cleaner that you can "set and forget". Carpet operation on non-pile type is good. We have not used the mopping feature yet, but it looks easy to set up. The 'back to base charger' function does not always work if some distance away. Still haven't worked out the hand-controller's full functions (no AAA batteries provided), nor the remote functions regarding mapping/barriers etc. We all like the 'Smart Clean' - but are still learning it's full utility-potential and other tech features.Read full review

It is quite easy to set up and links with various weather services. Some of them are quite esoteric to set up and others such as weather underground really easy. The station needs some skill to install since it needs to be stable, level and away from any interference so placement is important. The outdoor sensor unit is a single unit with all of the sensors inbuilt. You may want to spray the outdoor unit with surface spray to stop spiders nesting in the rain gauge. It has a battery backup but its primary power source is a solar panel which chargers a supercap (super capacitor which holds charge to power the sensor pack). The supercap replaces what would normally be a lithium battery, the advantage being that a supercap will not degrade over time as a lithium battery would. The only servicing required would be to replace the backup batteries and clean spiders et al from the sensors. The spikes on the rain collector are a nice touch but I think it needs some hot melt glue to hold it in place since it has slipped down on mine. The outdoor sensor unit communicates with the base station using wireless (not WiFi) and the base unit connects to your local WiFi network. The base unit uses WiFi to send its data to the various services that you connect it to. There is an app (iOS or Android) which is used to set it up and once set up you can get basic sensor data in the app. Using your weather service of choice you can see current sensor data and history for as long as it has been running. Some of the services also have apps which you can use to see the sensor data. You can also set up your own database to record the sensor data. The quality is fine given that it is not the most expensive station but it is good for the price. There are far more accurate weather stations but again they are a lot more expensive. Overall it is quite easy to set up and quite reliable but will benefit from regular maintenance such as cleaning, reapplying the surface spray and replacing the backup batteries to ensure it remains operational.Read full review

Performs as expected. We have scheduled this to run in the night - the floor is clean in the morning. Both tile and carpet areas are cleaned well. We used to have a Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo 900 prior to this which we returned after a few days of use. Compared to that Xiaomi one is far better in all aspects. Compared to Ozmo 900, Roborock S50 does not get stuck (Ozmo 900 needed lot more intervention), lasts full cleaning cycle (about 40% remaining after a 75-minute run), navigates and vacuums well. It is possible to spot clean using the app. There is virtually no difference in the mobile app interface compared to the Ecovacs app but Mi Home app is far more stable compared to the Ecovacs app which frequently got stuck. The main drawback is the mopping function - which is below par and I would not recommend Roborock for mopping (Ozmo 900 was no better). Also, when you run at full power it can be loud. I was able to connect that to the Google home - I can start it and stop it but yet to figure out how to send it back to the dock by voice instructions (maybe it is my voice).Read full review

The navigation is excellent, orders of magnitude better than my old LG Roboking. Got under the dog beds, navigated tight spaces through the chairs, never got lost or stuck. Has never missed a spot or failed to return to base. Carpet detection is good, you could hear it kick into turbo when it got on them. Managed the carpets and ramp into our bathroom with no issues. Zoned cleanup via the app is easy and really useful, I regularly clean one half of the house while I'm cooking, then do the other half when I'm finished. The thing I'm most pleased with is the hair - we have three long haired dogs and two long haired humans, we generate immense amounts of hair. Not only does it pick it all up, I have had zero issues with hair wound round the wheels, none at all. Previous vacs were always getting jammed up. I do get some hair round the brush, but much less than with other vacs and its easily removed. The mop - a gimmick for us, no real use at all. Less hassle to just quick do a manual mop. It may be of some use in a small apartment with no carpets.Read full review

I purchased this item two weeks ago and was really impressed with its performance, compared to high end brand like Samsung and iRoomba surprisingly it fares well. The smart automation connectivity is very easy to use and the wet cleaning feature of this roborock is surprisingly useful as well. I just home that they can come in variety of colors such as Black and Blue; other than that this device is really impressive in terms of performance and value for money.
