2 - mijia (most quiet and bajet friendly)

if your house kecik then is fine. if your house besar then no.
big house generally the bot will return home to re-charge and then continue on where it left off.

most tanks cannot hold enough liquid for any houses above 1600sq/ft

buy separate units for duties.
your returns will be felt in the 1st year itself.

maid - RM 1500/month + expenses + levy + insurance + medical = >9000
robot vacuum - RM 1500 (one off) + elektrik + battery change/year = <9000
robot mop - RM 750 (one off) + elektrik + battery change/year = <9000

depends on some factors.
mine is switched on 24/7 but i scheduled only to once a day rather than non stop.
mine requires 2 charges to complete the house.

in turn the battery will weaken in slightly over a year.
u'll notice it when either

1 - tasks perform requires more charges
2 - cant really return home
3 - indicator flashing (this one in dire need of battery change liao)

for me is usually option #1. the usual 2 charges to finish up my house, by year end it should take 3-4 charges.

neebot no longer in production liao. but is good. i bought via taobao 4 years ago.
the thing i like about neebot is, it uses samsung galaxy s3 batteries. so its easily available.

for mijia can buy and change yourself. same like neato and roomba. all can buy and change yourself. I dont really buy retail for accesories, but if for actual unit i might consider buy retail. sometime need to physically see it , performance and all.

I'm not sure if it will work for me, so thinking should I start with a Mijia... is the performance a LOT different from a neato?

My house is 2 storey, 3800sqft will xiaomi be fine? ALso there is several version of xiaomi? I;m confused cause I see the one selling officially/locally is the one launched like 2 yrs ago..

Initially I thought of getting xiaomi roborock as well, but I'm more worries on the warranty just in case. As Gen 2 onwards all do not have local warranty, even merchant max also given you 6 months warranty.

Might just get ecovacs during their discount on 27th.

They selling grey market xiaomi? Or the global arm of xiaomi? They install english menu/OS instead of the chinese? (I cant read chinese...)

So Xiaomi Gen3 would be Roborock S5?

I got the Roborock S50. Global version. This is generation 2 with mop function. White unit with silver trimmings on the parameter. If you see S51 or S55 its basically the same unit but in a different color.

The vacuum works well, sucks up almost everything. I let it run every 2 days on a 1350 sqft home, overall cleaning was really really good. Even on corners where you thought there would be residual dust, it minimizes it to the max. Just remember to take away your floor mats cos the vacuum even with carpet mode on cant vacuum through the floor mats cos they are not fully planted on the floor.

Mine can go through the entire house with a 60% charge left. As for mopping, the instruction says to be around when the mop function is being used. True enough, i had to add water to the mop pan every 400 sqft and also clean the microfibre cloth. i only mop once a week.

Overall it was a very good purchase...i loaned it to my mom this week.....heck my house super dusty now.....not used to having dust all around after having this robot. my mom now also contemplating buying it ...hohoho.

I got a hunch the reason they do not want to sell internationally is because they may have breached a patent. don't quote me on this but its so weird it's been a year they do not release it even in their official Mi stores

They selling grey market xiaomi? Or the global arm of xiaomi? They install english menu/OS instead of the chinese? (I cant read chinese...)

So Xiaomi Gen3 would be Roborock S5?

what you see now s50, s55 is the second gen.

where did you buy this "global" version?
*
the cheapest option with 6 month warranty is in Shopee
lazada also sells it but the seller advice me to just get the Chinese version. Cos the global version only has labels and boxes in English.
You can install language packs to the vacuum so it responds or announces alerts in English.
Also most of the controls for this vacuum is via app, app is in English so no need global version.

I dunno where the shopee seller sources his products but it says Global version.
"just sticker and box is english" qouted by lazada seller whom also sells the global version of the vacuum...he also sells a chinese only version.
i think global version is for EU countries? cos it gives the 2 pin plug.

the Mi home app is in english ler... how can cannot be? i am using the app...its in english ...just choose your region in a english speaking language country ..like Singapore for instance.
the app is from the google app store..

probably they dun even know.
the gen 1 filter cannot be washed, you tap it to remove the dust....the second gen one can be washed with running water to remove the dust.
normally ppl who doesn't need the mop function from gen 2 will buy the gen 1 and get extra gen 2 filters to put into their vacuum.

yup..

and basically not much difference, beside got mop function.

and for gen 2, u can control the vacuum suction power, 3 levels. Im not sure Gen 1 has this function not

Oh ya, one thing i choose roborock (other than expensive brand) is they can draw out ur room layout. If other cap ayam brand, just turning around to sweep n mop only

If u plan to buy ecovacs, please buy from local reseller. Ecovacs has separate app for local unit n China unit. China unit require china app, and register via china mobile number.

i bought around 1.2k, personally i feel its worth. very good example, during eve of cny or after relative visit my house, i just turn on the robot let it sweep n mob by itself. because too tired of prepare cooking n stuffs for cny, so robot is a good buy, regardless what brand

I bought it from taobao (Roborock official flagship store), then add on some spare parts like brush, cloth for mop and the magnetic stripe. U can PM me, i share the link to u

If you didn’t pay at least 80-90 means it’s not the non washable type or worse, fakes. The non washable ones are around 35-39
Anyway, I have gen 2 but using gen 1 filter cause I don’t like to wash them. I prefer to clean the filter by vacuuming it lol.

In case you didn’t know, all parts are interchangeable between gen 1, gen 2 and gen 3

good info. just wonder....
1. i might dun bother bout the warranty. if direct purchase through Taobao, will there be any issue on the Kastam?
2. comparing the price, direct purchase from Taobao should be cheaper from Lazada/Shopee?
3. any more good AI stuff from Xiaomi to recommend?

1. Many forwarder already "pau" the costs. No issue with kastam whatsoever.
2. Direct purchase from Taobao might be cheaper from lazada. The Roborock RM 1,600 after converted not includes shipping to WM about RM 100, Lazada about RM 1950 (1 year warranty)
3. Currently using Xiaomi smart power plug. Schedule on off can control everything from apps

i have roborock and neato now. so far for comparison, i will include others which i owned.

neato tops the chart , great mapping, great suction but high price especially for replacement parts. i tried changing the battery after 1 year plus, it cost me 1/4 the robot price. instead i opted for a full upgrade which i paid slghtly less than 1/2 the robot price.

roborock comes in 2nd place. i usually place this upstairs. mapping is great and suction is fantastic. replacement parts are more difficult to get than the neato as neato is sold at almost everywhere, roborock have to buy from online only. why i place this as 2nd place is because of replacement parts availability. but however said, the price is fantastic and the parts are definitely cheaper than my neato bot. is just availability of service and parts that made this bot into my 2nd place.

iroomba is 3rd on my list if i had to choose. it was a tough choice between iroomba and samsung. i bought my iroomba many years back and it performed well. mapping is definitely not its forte, but suction power is strong and replacement parts are easy to get. the only downfall for iroomba is the bloody high price i had to pay for it and the not so great suction. when compared to neato and roborock, i'd have either anyday over this 1. my iroomba is now at my parents house still working. not the 900 series i series or s series. i didnt buy those coz those are new. mine is like v3 or something. quite long ago.

samsung powerbot. i borowed 1 from my sister house for a month in exchange for my neato. she loved my neato as well, and decided to purchase 1. i had to fork out 50% of the money price to her. why ? the samsung powerbot is crap at mapping. it also faces difficulty in thick carpets where the neato and roborock excels. suction is strong for samsung. is good and fantastic. but problem lies when mapping and price is not right. powerbot i think retails for RM 2xxxx but on the high side of RM 2K. neato and roborock is on the lower scale with more positives. now to tell why i had to fork out for 1/2 neato for my sister, the powerbot commited suicide. u see, my stair case is quite dark in color. so it couldnt really sense depth thus it tumbled and fell down the staircase. its a long drop. my staircase is not like other ppl where it twist then few steps more twist. mine is a looooooooong straightt up straight down staircase with 20' ceiling height. samsung powerbot didnt survive that fall. so obviously what i destroy i have to pay lor but since is my sister, i get 1/2 off, which is still painful for me.

so there u have it. dun even bother with those cheapo 3in1 4in1 all china cheapo shit which cost less than 500 bucks. those have got crap mapping. they just walk and run all over the place, the batteries dun last, the suction power is weak and the mop shit is dripping and leaking all over the place. 2 of mine commited suicide before in my house leaving a huge crack on my marble floor while falling from upstairs. luckily cheap marble is easy to replace.


on a side note, i have tested 1 china cheapo before but the price was around RM 800+++++ from taobao. now that 1 was reasonable with sufficient suction. mapping was still zig zaggy, battery life was better, however parts are non-replaceable as they are non existent. i liked the wet mop function of it though as the tank is actually within the bot itself rather that outside in a ring-like plastic with no control of wetness. it survived for 2 years straight before commiting suicide. my suspicion was due to the weak battery and the worn out sensing.

so there u have it folks, my verdict and 2 cents. i have been using robotic mops and vacuums and window washers for quite a good solid >8 years now.

summary:-

u got bajet, go for neato.
u less bajet go for roborock.
u got no bajet go 99 speedmart buy broom and dustpan or steal from neighbour.


sekian.

going to buy one for my mom for her birthday.
about 3k sqft.
vacuum + mop.
Q1: Will the noise from the vacuum noisy?
-Maybe just set it start to clean when home is empty ?
Q2: I got a dog, will it scare my dog?
- i know its stupid, but its a small poodle.

Using xiaomi roborock.

Has both vacuum and mopping functions.

Most well-spent money this year.

The only downside, it can only store one map. Double storey house, go get 2 units.

Which powerbot you use? As I know, only those older version use mapping. New model just rely on camera and sensor. You just need to tape the floor with black tape to prevent it from crossing over.

Robots cannot do a better job when it comes to sweeping and mopping, I've been doing this all my life, I would know beside i've explore this option before, robots are not thoroughly clean.

When it comes to cleaning, you need to use pressure in certain tough spots or it will not be clean.

samsung powerbot, not sure of model . i dun take too much details of model. is definitely not 2019 model thats for sure coz i had that powerbot some time back 2017 or 2018 early.


the tape part i'm not so sure, but the new neato has magnetic strip sensor to block the pathway, which also can be used by roborock. no need big strip just about 2-3" enough. the china bots use something called an invisible wall. the device looks like the size of 1/2 a charge station dock. mine used to use D cell batteries for the virtual invisible wall. manyak makan battery i tell u

ohwai, back to discussion, yeah, thebot vacs are pretty clever, 1 batt can really cover about 2000-2500 sq ft

i buy cheap robot rm450. forgot the brand.

quite good leh. eventhough already vaccun the house before, it still manage to pickup a lot of dust, esp in the carpet.

also u know la when ladies in house, so many hairs on floor. It can pick up quite well also.

im quite amaze it can climb the carpet and uneven surface. so far i think best 450 i spend. i look at shopee/lazada got sell lots of spare parts also.

it got mop function but i think not that clean la. basically it just wet the cloth at the bottom of the robot and wipe it along when vacuum.

so far i'm happy with the purchase

Lol, quite satisfied with my 1 1/2 yr mi robot vacuum , saved my hassle to sweep the floors.
just to clean the dusts from the collected box & replace the accessories when they are due.
I read the 2 in one vacuum & mop doesn't live up to the user's expectation, if they are improved slowly, i may invest an unit for this as well brows.gif

Is this one 1st gen or 2nd gen?
If it's 1st gen, would it be hard to buy spare parts?

Bought a Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner on 11.11. Still learning to use it.

Do we need to assign room to the robot before we start cleaning? How does it know which is living room and which is bedroom?

Another thing is, how do we prevent it from going into bathroom and balcony (other than closing the door)?

Your unit don’t have room division
Just let your robot automatically clean your whole house.
I’m not sure if yours can save the map
If it can, you can draw virtual barriers and zones to condone off areas that you don’t want it to go
If don’t have this function you can buy those magnetic tape to restrict cleaning areas

Bought my Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner on 11.11. Today tried it for the first time.

The robot got stuck 2 times, and I need to manually intervene its operation. Which makes me wonder if I can do vacuuming when nobody is at home hmm.gif

Yes, I can be more careful with the dangling cables and door mats. But there is always a chance something goes wrong...

Mapping function is good, but can be better. It went into my bedroom, vacuum half of it, then came out. After that it went in again to finish the other half of the room.

I bought roborock s55. If u hv multiple floor or smthg get roborock s6 but a bit expensive. S6 came with map management 3.0 (can save multiple floor and room).

Totally satisfied. I got cat. Run it every 2 days. Floor always clean. Mop the floor once a week. Best because it hv navigation sensor (LDR) and able cover all area that it can reach. Not just random movement.

The only drawback (not only roborock but all robot vacuum) the cliff sensor might have problem with black carpet. It might absorb the infrared signal and the robot will think there is a cliff and stuck there.

I wish xiaomi allow us to disable the sensor. Temporary solutions is i cover the sensor with aluminium and tape.

Oh mine is global version with 1 year local warranty. Apps everything is english. Bought from lazada. Merchant name is DASHER. He hv shop. U can visit his store. Very friendly. He will explain how to use the robot.

As for mopping, the instruction says to be around when the mop function is being used. True enough, i had to add water to the mop pan every 400 sqft and also clean the microfibre cloth. i only mop once a week.

if china seller mostly third party so buy from local sellers like VisionGadgetry - https://shopee.com.my/search?keyword=roboro...s&shop=18695082
You can also buy from physical Mi Store around KL

I suggest not to buy the washable HEPA filters as they cost twice as much. Better to use a normal vacuum cleaner and vacuum the filter everyday. By doing that, I hardly have to change filter, maybe every 6 months

The robot vacuum is now sold in xiaomi stores in Malaysia. No need buy china/global market stocks liao. All the accessories and filters are sold in the store as well.
Those in lazada/shopee i would say are original...they are just sourced from china or other global markets which xiaomi is selling this vacuum at.

Thanks but this one ship from overseas. Local after sales support is important for less hassle use. I read that some people have to throw away products bought from overseas because it is too much a hassle just to arrange to send back to those country for service. I think i'm going to keep my eyes on those with official local distributor.

Just paste on top of Hepa filter will do.
Cut a little bit oversized of sponge, the dust bin case would be holding the sponge right

Battery Kong ? Seem like keep changing

Another thing , I would like to advise, that Hepa filter at internal dust bin side should apply thin sponge to blocking the dirt get into Hepa filter 😇😇😇

Isnt putting a sponge will reduce suction capability significantly?
Somemore it is a robot vacuum. Highest suction rate is just 2000pa.

Just asking.

its a stupid idea
now your vacuum will have less suction power and may even trigger an error due to block air passage way

Hi all,

Any of you using T6? My Mi home app is set to China and I believe the S6 will not work for me but the T6 will be ok.

Do I need to trick my phone i.e. change timezone, VPN etc for it to work?

Oh thanks! Thats quite annoying given other devices (switches, lamp, air purifier) need not be set to china time zone.

When you said need to reset if firmware hasnt been updated, what do you mean?

If you update your vacuum firmware, sometimes, it will detect you using outside of China, then you need to reset the vacuum to make it work again. Doesn’t happen every time thou

Not sure. My advise is, if you already have existing China region xiaomi IOT product, then get the China version, otherwise global version all the way

Hi All,
Can suggest budget robot vacuum cleaner? Found Xiaomi mijia 1C within my budget (less than RM1k) that I'm interested with. Just want to know is there other better robot I can get within this price range?

The latest Ecovacs Deebot T8 TrueDetect 3D Technology is impressive, no knocking anymore.. Roborock S6 MaxV camera obstacle detection is not good enough, Deebot T8 is way better than S6 MaxV.. The Deebot T8 floor mapping dToF sensor is also more advanced that S6 MaxV Lidar sensor..

Just launch in malaysia, anyone try that already?

My Deebot N5 Power keep moving in circle. Don't know whether want to bring it to fix at the service centre anot. Since I bought it from oversea, there'll be labour charge of RM100 before anything else.

QUOTE(upcars @ Jul 9 2019, 06:20 PM)
i have roborock and neato now. so far for comparison, i will include others which i owned.

neato tops the chart , great mapping, great suction but high price especially for replacement parts. i tried changing the battery after 1 year plus, it cost me 1/4 the robot price. instead i opted for a full upgrade which i paid slghtly less than 1/2 the robot price.

roborock comes in 2nd place. i usually place this upstairs. mapping is great and suction is fantastic. replacement parts are more difficult to get than the neato as neato is sold at almost everywhere, roborock have to buy from online only. why i place this as 2nd place is because of replacement parts availability. but however said, the price is fantastic and the parts are definitely cheaper than my neato bot. is just availability of service and parts that made this bot into my 2nd place.

iroomba is 3rd on my list if i had to choose. it was a tough choice between iroomba and samsung. i bought my iroomba many years back and it performed well. mapping is definitely not its forte, but suction power is strong and replacement parts are easy to get. the only downfall for iroomba is the bloody high price i had to pay for it and the not so great suction. when compared to neato and roborock, i'd have either anyday over this 1. my iroomba is now at my parents house still working. not the 900 series i series or s series. i didnt buy those coz those are new. mine is like v3 or something. quite long ago.

samsung powerbot. i borowed 1 from my sister house for a month in exchange for my neato. she loved my neato as well, and decided to purchase 1. i had to fork out 50% of the money price to her. why ? the samsung powerbot is crap at mapping. it also faces difficulty in thick carpets where the neato and roborock excels. suction is strong for samsung. is good and fantastic. but problem lies when mapping and price is not right. powerbot i think retails for RM 2xxxx but on the high side of RM 2K. neato and roborock is on the lower scale with more positives. now to tell why i had to fork out for 1/2 neato for my sister, the powerbot commited suicide. u see, my stair case is quite dark in color. so it couldnt really sense depth thus it tumbled and fell down the staircase. its a long drop. my staircase is not like other ppl where it twist then few steps more twist. mine is a looooooooong straightt up straight down staircase with 20' ceiling height. samsung powerbot didnt survive that fall. so obviously what i destroy i have to pay lor but since is my sister, i get 1/2 off, which is still painful for me.

so there u have it. dun even bother with those cheapo 3in1 4in1 all china cheapo shit which cost less than 500 bucks. those have got crap mapping. they just walk and run all over the place, the batteries dun last, the suction power is weak and the mop shit is dripping and leaking all over the place. 2 of mine commited suicide before in my house leaving a huge crack on my marble floor while falling from upstairs. luckily cheap marble is easy to replace.
on a side note, i have tested 1 china cheapo before but the price was around RM 800+++++ from taobao. now that 1 was reasonable with sufficient suction. mapping was still zig zaggy, battery life was better, however parts are non-replaceable as they are non existent. i liked the wet mop function of it though as the tank is actually within the bot itself rather that outside in a ring-like plastic with no control of wetness. it survived for 2 years straight before commiting suicide. my suspicion was due to the weak battery and the worn out sensing.

so there u have it folks, my verdict and 2 cents. i have been using robotic mops and vacuums and window washers for quite a good solid >8 years now.

summary:-

u got bajet, go for neato.
u less bajet go for roborock.
u got no bajet go 99 speedmart buy broom and dustpan or steal from neighbour.
sekian.

with Mop? Many months has passed, anyone unsatisfied with their robot cleaner?
I wonder what is the differnet Xiaomi 1C and Roborock S6MaxV, only sensor and mapping?
How about the mop cleaning?

I have 2 s50 and 1 xiaomi 1C
The higher end product is better in everyway except it cannot go under sofa. 1C is slimmer so it can clean under sofa.

Owner of a Roborock v1 here (AKA Xiaomi Mijia) for around 2 years, in that time it's cleaned the equivalent of 3 standard football pitches with only replacement of consumables:

user posted image

The side brush is becoming noisier, I lubricated the nylon gears with lithium grease, that reduced the noise level.

I'm still amazed at how much dirt it can find from what appears to be a clean floor, I think because it goes into the out-of-sight places - under cabinets & sofas. What have I learnt from 2 years of ownership:
    - check that consumables are easily available
    - keep the vacuum clean, turn the robot upside down check the main brush regularly, long hair, paper clips etc. can become wrapped around the roller. I've read of the flexible plastic gaiter between the lower and upper body being perforated, that causes loss of suction and dirt to enter into the fan.
    - clean the sensors, your robot may drop down the stairs if the drop is not detected.
    - if I could buy new furniture such as cabinets & sofas, I would make sure there was enough floor clearance for the robot to go underneath.
    - make sure cables, slippers, etc. are moved off the floor.

I'm currently looking for one now as well. I saw that Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P was the latest product available from this brand. I didn't like that it has that bulge on top for the LDS so I looked for others.

Since Viomi v3 is also part of Xiaomi, will Xiaomi MIJIA Robot Vacuum-Mop 1T (STYTJ02HZM) be better than Viomi V3? It was released in China back in 11/11/2020, I wonder when it will be for sale in Malaysia.

https://china-gadgets.com/xiaomi-mijia-1t-vacuum-robot/

https://xiaomiplanets.com/Xiaomi-mijia-1t-oficialne-1/

Any recommendations by the way?

upcars bro you still active? Which Neato you recommend, my house is 1300sf unit, but so many models, a bit confusing.

Is Neato still your first choice? or just xiaomi will do? I don't like Xiaomi stuff except its phone because previously I faced a lot of connection issues with them (weighing machine, Dafang Camera, China/Local etc.) damn troublesome

Viomi. Neato is way too over priced. Best bang for buck now is viomi. Get v3 if u can afford. If not v2 works just as good without the nose reduction.

Hizero is really good and clean. Effortless. Highly recommended. Service and after sales is very good.

Been using this for at least 3 years already. None of my friends complained also.

Don't compare with viomi robot la. Diff function and concept. Viomi if u charged already is ok. Change tank and it's ready to go. Hizero is for those spur of the moment when u spilled or soiled a portion of your place.

Wow very good deal!

Now it's RM1899, but 2/2 also same price?

The extra year warranty sure is costly.

Does a robot vacuum require wifi all the time to work properly?

If wifi is just for connecting to app, then it doesn't matter much.

Viomi v3 is best bang for buck. Meaning best value for money.. now got viomi s6 but very expensive. The dirt box is centralized at base station. U can Google for it. I don't recommend it though cuz very pricey and unsure if performance.

Xiaomi s6 and t6 is fantastic. High end stuff. Performs well. Viomi v3 is just cheaper.


Hizero is for manual mop. Very good. Thumbs up at RM 2k.

From manual, it is not recommended to put detergent inside… coz if got any residue, it is difficult to clean it. The hole very small and you can’t really clean inside.

Been using the 1c for 1 month… really satisfy with it. Probably the smartest gadget I ever buy. laugh.gif it can map the house, zone cleaning, auto reclean any part that it missed, smart routing (can move diagonally using the shortest path back to base!)

I have tried it. Works well.

But for day-to-day, I use a squirt mop as it doesn't need to be cleaned again with water.

Batteries. I have purchased Roomba and Ecovacs after market batteries off Aliexpress. Funny enough, the Aliexpress battery will vacuum almost 2 hours vs original's 1 hour and far cheaper.

Thanks

using s50. not recommended. i tried. after a while, the sponge outlet from the tank to the cloth will be clogged and you will need to change it. not sure why.
also not good to let it soak overnight. better take out the water once done vacuum.

now I spray disinfect on the cloth itself. that one no clog so far.

plus. dettol makes the floor sticky too.

Yes

Basically, robot vacuum can only cover about 95% of the floors.
BUT you need to do preparation before running it..
1. Pickup those small foreign objects (eraser, poop, tissue, book, paper, wire, cable)
2. Prep your curtains, tie or lift it, IF you want to clean the curtain area.
3. Move your chair to ease robot navigation between legs.

If you have ladies at home, the hair collected might be a lot and need to clean up after every cleaning session.

*I'm using roborock S5 for 2 years.

**Self-Cleaning Robot Mop & Vacuum is a different story... and the price is much more expensive.
