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
*
What magnetic tape are you referring to?

I google and its says 'magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic recording' sweat.gif

Why UI looks different than mine in Mi App.

No. Can't afford it sad.gif

click on the top right corner the three dots
see if you have a vacuum setting that is able to save map
i dont think your models has it.

here is how mine looks like. as you can see in my map, all the red lines and boxes are the virtual barriers and no-go zones
[attachmentid=10351545][attachmentid=10351546]

You are right. Can't save the map.
So I need to use the virtual wall tape.

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.

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.

does the mop function on roborock works well?
i'm thinking of buying it.

Disclaimer:
ayam using Mijia - without mopping function.

I have been hesitating to buy a robot vacuum. I once heard someone said those robots that do mapping cannot run when it is dark. But i plan to run it at night. What choices do i have?
*
Those with laser or LED light should be able to do mapping in the dark.

Thanks. Only Neato, Roborock and Picabot use laser? Any other brand can consider?

Some models of Ecovacs also use laser, e.g.

Both Roborock and Ecovacs have models with mopping function.

I never owned them though. My own robot is vacuuming only.

Yeah... They should've told me that gen 1 filter can be used on gen 2.

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.

Do you buy only the original Xiaomi/Roborock HEPA filter?

It is hard to know if the filters sold on Lazada/Shopee are original or 3rd party...

hi, can I confirm Gen 2 Roborock washable filter can be installed in Gen 1 Xiaomi robot?

Asked seller in Shopee, they told me Xiaomi is Xiaomi, Roborock is Roborock, not the same...
