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..

Oooo thats is nice to know.

Any idea roughly and if they will carry it locally?

Or all online purchase only?

I dont mine online purchase actually... i bought some xiaomi IR sensing nightlight from aliexpress for my bathroom.. best thing ever

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 say 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.

What is this Roborock thing?

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?
