Unfortunately there's no virtual wall feature for this robot. For me it's ok as I set it to run the whole ground floor of my house everyday, and just closed the access door to kitchen so it won't roll up the soft floor matt.

It has LIDAR / LDS which is the same as Roborock models, can almost do 90% of what a Roborock can do but at 50-60% of the price. I compared this one and Mijia 1C before I purchase, the camera of 1C and need to be rather bright for the robot to detect split level turned me off. (from watching youtube video)

Yes gen 1 xiaomi is designed by roborock, even their accessories are very similar. 1c camera is an addition for navigation planning, they didn't remove the drop sensors at bottom, if 1c will drop from stairs in dark other robot also will. Maybe the video u watch is telling wrong information...

Can 1c works with room with a lot of objects? Like kids toys

Can but very ineffective cleaning in such environment. Top notch robot like ecovacs t8 3D/AI or roborock s6 maxv AI will be needed to identify complex environment like that.

New update has virtual wall (line) and no go zone (red box)
Overall impress with visual and mapping of the house. It take 2 pass to map the house, first pass is basic vacuum then second pass is to confirm all the wall and edges.

Then once is complete the map is saved and you can put in virtual wall and no go zone

Overall the vacuum manage to follow the zone even in poorly lit room and under the cabinet so not a problem also my vacuum start vacuum morning so not any issue on dark room or something

Hi guys, was actually looking for a mopping robot, but most of them seem to have inferior mapping.
Question, is this 1C able to mop properly? My main worry is it just push a wet cloth around. Does it remove stains in your average home properly? My house have kids so need almost daily vacuum and mop, a bit tiring. I have a Dyson so the vacuum part can be completed in 10 minutes, but mopping takes much longer, hence trying to find a mopping robot.
Edit:
I was actually looking at iLife w400, but the build quality seems hit-and-miss and the mapping is not that good.
Irobot braava, is similar to mi 1C, as it is just pushing a wet cloth around too.

As far as I know Robot Vac with Mop will do an OK job will not remove deep stain but it can reduce human mopping say like my home I only mop once a week and the robot will do daily vacuum and mop

Also the Mop attachment only recommend plain water (Pure H2o) as putting detergent may clogged the motor inside so you do soap mop once a week and the robot do daily vacuum and mop so far satisfied with it.

This is my second robot with mop the first is moneual robot-Korea which not many know but it is a dumb robot... this 1C much intelligent as it has mapping and moping is controlled by internal pump... yeah it is OK

Got the mi robot vacuum (1st gen) 2 years ago. Actually had a mini discussion with @idoblu at his thread. Now wanna get another one. Thinking of 1c but haven’t pulled the trigger yet cos 3000 sq ft. Dont know if Lidar makes a huge difference and the battery can tahan.

Mi robot vacuum first gen (5200 mah) takes 50 mins to clean my 1000sq ft apartment. Battery drain is about 30%. Just worried that 1c will clean, go back recharge and resume cleaning.

Any contenders for sub rm1k or not? Or should i go ecovacs T8 / roborock AI haha. I don’t feel that it’s worth spending that much more for AI tbh.

1c can remove light stain, xiaomi mop pro can remove more stain with back n forth mopping pattern, ecovacs have vibrating mop, roborock have pressured mop, narwal have rotating polishing mop with auto wash. But doesn't matter how good the robot is, you still gotta top up a little of manual mopping.


From my experience, 1c clean 1m2 per minute on average, slightly slower than mi robot because lacking lidar. Battery consumed around 60% an hour on standard mode, 5200mah is definitely better for big place like yours. Al robot will work better if you can spend comfortably since they can get clever and cleaverer with updates.

Firmware 3.5.8_1096? With experimental feature on or off? Region set to? I used to have smart map before this after, then after update just now i lost my map and doing cleanup doesn't seem to track my robot or remap.

I saw a YouTube video, the owner put floor detergent on the mop pad itself, pretty clever I think..

After contemplating between this and Roborock s5 max, decide to get this instead. Can’t justify spend so much for a toy. Hope it works for me




I think the best for below rm1k is the iLife w400 with its two bucket water and rotating brush, unfortunately the build quality and mapping is really bad...

Mijia 1C
Firmware : 3.5.8_1059

How come yours is 1096 latest 1059 only worrrrrrrr

Dont put Detergent as it will spoil the motor or the pump... once clogged it cost RM100 ya

Plain water good enough for daily mop... I dont feel oily on my floor laaa so once a week sometime 2 week I do mop with soap...

Below 1K (RM720) for a Robot Vac with Mapping, mopping and vacuum plus integrate with MiHome app and Google Home / Google Assistant I cannot ask for more...

I don't know how i get 1096, it asked me to update this morning. Anyone know how to downgrade the firmware? I tried hard reset button on robot but still can't downgrade. Tried everything else like reinstall mihome, change region etc but nothing work.

Better don't update your firmware first guys...

Oooo You got the Europe early release firmware... anyway the firmware has been pulled.

This firmware has the ability to partition rooms.... the next "big" thing....

did you try reseting the map and let the robot draw again

Oh, i tried switching to europe region also can't create map, must be problematic that's why pulled.

Ya, when i try reset map many time, reset robot, change region etc all can't work. Even after hard reset the firmware still same. Only can work again if flash factory firmware but no idea how.

new firmware detected...

safe to upgrade?

thanks..

Attached thumbnail(s)

the last firmware before 1059 cause motherboard to burn and vacuum to die...

this firmware I will wait few month to see before update just to be safe

ok wait for some time ..
current firmware 1059...

Finally fixed my robot problem (smart map gone) after updating to 3.5.8_1096 after 3 days. New experimental feature have auto room partitions (cons can't edit partition) just like xiaomi mop pro. Map become colors for different partitions and u can select which partition you want to clean. Robot path are now shown in more detailed line. Obstacles are also shown in map now.
