Useful vacuum robotics at reasonable price.Good features equivalent to more expensive models.
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It is quite good and works as expected.
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Performs as expected in vacuuming
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).Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Finally - a Robot Vacuum that lives up to their promise
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

value for money
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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Does a great job and doesn't cost the earth.
Does a very good job cleaning and navigating around obstacles and return to base once done. Xiaomi support was also timely in responding when I had a query about the app and mapping. Have no pets but have girls at home. It picks up all their long hair as well as dust really well. Hadn't had to bring out the Dyson in 3wks so far. Climbs up rugs fine and no issues with rugs with black border as I expected the blacks to confuse it's cliff sensors. Not sure about the reliability but I recommended it based on what it can do at a fraction of the price as other brands.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Amazing value, works well!
Amazing value! This vacuum works really well. The actual vacuum is quite strong and works brilliantly on lino, carpet, and polished concrete flooring. If you have a thick rug it might not make it up the edge, but ours is ok. The app features are awesome, it maps out your entire floorplan and allows you to clean specific areas, and also set virtual "no-go" zones which the robot won't venture into.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great design, great performance, smart routing, easy to use.
Have used it for a couple of times, it performs satisfyingly. Nothing to complain about so far. Oh, one thing to mention where I believe Xiaomi still have place to improve: I've got a Xiaomi Smart Camera, and this Vacumm Cleaner. But I can't have them both in the app at the same time because the Smart Camera is not for sale in Australia while the Vacuum Cleaner is, so they belong to different servers, so every time when I want to visit the other device, I'll have switch server in the settings. Well, don't get me wrong, this Vacuum Cleaner is great and is for sale in Australia. And it is doing a good job.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good product
Very easy to use and does a great job cleaning. It navigates my house really well A few things that the reviews mention which aren’t true - there are no virtual walls, you can set zoned cleanup but you need to do this everytime you want to clean - there is no zone cleanup memory, you need to redefine zones each time and you can’t use the schedule feature Other than those two annoyances it’s great!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very good hardware but requires you to sacrifice privacy to get the most out of it
it's very smart in vacuuming and the hardware is good (for example it can climb 1cm or so, the laser-supported algorithm seems to do a good job in figuring out the floor plan). One thing that's important to understand though is that some of the functionality can only be used if you don't care about your privacy. The app that allows for many features requires heaps of permissions for things that are totally unrelated to controlling a robotic vacuum cleaner (such as access to contacts, phone calls, messages, camera, microphone etc.) and I just don't trust that this would be kept in good hands, especially due to the fact that it's not actually needed. So if you care about your privacy you won't enjoy a timed cleaning, watching a map of the house, controlling the suction strength, upgrading the robot's firmware and more.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
