Dear All,

Anyone purchase Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Mijia 1C?

Would like to seek your kind sharing on the day to day usage experience.

Is it better than roborock S5?

I check online, Mijia 1C do not have LIDAR function.

IS LIDAR very essential for smart planning for robot vacuum cleaning function?

Thanks:)

Buy only lidar based. Else is useless.
If dun want lidar just get a normal Roomba Philips samsung

I've one xiaomi robot vacuum for a year now
LIDAR function not really
Only a handful of robot vacuum have that

i checked review, when dark env will affect its performance,

roborock is a good brand, it is famous at china there, LiDAR is definitely a must for now

I see. what model you using now?

Xiaowa Mi Smart robot
Not that expensive
How's your experience with that till now?

haven get mine, my home got one haier cheap model, very bad performance... btw the mop function not that useful as the water tank is small and u will need keep refill to clean whole house; the towel need to remove when not use else u will see it get mold

I haven't get mine also.. planning to buy at authorized xiaomi store in shopee online platform..
Currently they only sold Mijia 1C model.. dun dare to buy from other sellers..
Other model such as roborock S5, mijia 1S etc not available now in the store..
Xiaowa Mi Smart robot should be in Roborock Model indicated below:

Roborock Xiaowa Series that includes E25/E35(same model, different colors) and E35. These are Gyroscope-guided robots that can mop and sweep, have decent suction power and long battery life. Actually one of the best in its price range.

Roborock S5/S55/S51/S50, which is the same model but with different color options. The Roborock S50 is white, S51 - rose-gold, S55 - black. (the best-selling model, everyone probably heard about it)

Roborock S6 (its high-end robot vacuum that is the quietest in the model line, supports no-go lines, zoned cleaning, and room cleaning)

Roborock S4 (has the same features as the S6 but lacks mopping and has reduced climbing ability of 15 mm/0.6 in instead of 20 mm/0.8in )

Roborock S5 Max (the latest robot vacuum with the most mopping features such as a bigger water container, no-mop zones, scheduling for mopping, etc.)

(taken from reddit source)

BTW any experience you can share using Xiaowa Mi Smart robot so far?

Thanks for your sharing.. appreciate it..BTW how much you bought the HAIER model?

Very bad experience with this lol I own this one before sold and buy xiaomi robot
Agree with the mop function, and I felt like sensor in Haier robots have problem identifying obstacles keep on sweeping the same place over and over again

2 sweepers always tangled with my carpet and switched off automatically
The good thing is, that robot will charge itself up haha

Around 800-1.1k if I'm not wrong
Haier has a few vacuum robot only, high possibility same robot
thb Xiaomi vacuum way better than Haier one

Theres a review in this forum for roborock s50.. which written very detailed and well thought out.

I bought the s55 last Aug around 1.5k and I'm very satisfied with it.

They have updated the robot recently and now can choose different zone / rooms



I have only use the mopping function twice.. because mopping need me to be there so i prefer not to use it..

I just got mine last week for RM750 from shoppee, whilst i feel the vacuum and mop function is overrall good, the downside is that the robot keeps bumping into things and has no map saving options or "no go zone" settings, hence still need to supervise...but for the price, i think it aint bad since lidar function robots easily cost rm1.2k above...


mopping wise, the water tank suffice for whole single floor of 1500 squarefeet

Roborock S5 also support no-go lines, zoned cleaning, and room cleaning.

My opinion with LIDAR is better, optimist battery and effectiveness area cleaning.
With Gyroscope, some spots or room maybe miss out during vacuum.

I have 2 units S50. And recently just purchase another 1C for my in law house. If tight budget, can consider 1C since it can vacuum & mop as good as S50 for half price. But the downsides, the navigation and battery life not as good as s50.

Another issue to think about, 1C is slimmer model and hence it can reach below sofa. S50 cannot

Thnks for the feedback.. i read on reddit recently that 1C were plagued with bugs after some users update their units to the latest firmware..some were totally shutdown and cannot run after update..
Do you encounter any issues surfaced online recently?

I received news from seller not to update mihome app. So i didnt update anything, just plug and play and it works.

So u did not connect the vacuum cleaner with the Mi Home App, is it?
If i not mistaken, the mi home app will automatically update the firmware once it connected..(correct me if i'm wrong)..

just get the S5. It may be old but there are lots of parts and consumables available. Just get the Global version and you wont have problems using or updating it in Malaysia.

The S5 has almost everything the newer model has. Actually the differences between all the models is very minute and most you can do without. Dont get the 1C which has no LIDAR - I will never consider any robots without LIDAR after having use one.

You dont need to buy from so-called authorised dealers. Some local sellers here like DASH, iGadgets, etc offers 1 year warranty. You can find them at Lazada or Shopee. I bought mine with only 1 month warranty yet I have been using one for more than a year now.

I have both lidar and non LiDAR Xiaomi robot vacuum

The non LiDAR, i use for simple layout and less furniture

Not bad, relatively clean

I have the Roborock S50 which I purchased about 2 years ago. Frankly, it is the best cleaning appliance I had ever purchased. It vacuums very well.. doesn't get stuck often and is easy to maintain. The mopping function is simplistic but adequate for basic cleaning.

This device has been a real time saver. These days, I rarely need to vacuum and mop the house (except the corners and the staircase) as Roborock does it for me.

Thanks for the recommendation.. i google some of the local stores that you mentioned..DASHER were selling rm1600++ for S6..
anyone using s6 in Malaysia?
seeking some sharing experience using S6..thnks

if you can afford S6 then you should look at S5 Max instead.
Dont think you can get S6 for Rm1600. You probably looking at S6 Pure

Ya it is s6 pure..s5max also in the same prince range?

I have a 1st generation Xiaowa bought 2yrs ago. Now works for about 35mins and then sudden stop altogether. I have to manually take it back to the charger station. Suspect the battery need to be replaced- battery pack is 2600mah.
Can I use a 5200mah battery pack as replacement? Cost rm210.
Is it worth it since this vacuum is very basic and runs a random pattern only.

Ihv s5. Been using it almost a year.

I bought it bcos it got lidar (and cheaper compare to other model with similar spec).

With lidar it have proper navigation and never miss any spot.

Totally worth it.

Im using dettol detergent for mopping purpose. It has no bubble so i assume the filter wont get blocked. See how it goes for few months.

They just launched S6 maxV over the weekend.

how urs robot doing? still ok with detergent add in?

seems got some issue the new model as posted in youtube

1c saya ada problem water tank.

Bila guna dia akan mengecut sampai tank jadi nipis. Air jadi terhalang keluar.

Guna bersihkan 1 rumah pun hanya 1/4 dari air tu keluar. 3/4 masih berbaki sbb tak dapat keluar tank mengecut.

Bila i buka getah tempat masukkan air tu, tank ok balik sbb udara masuk.

Nampak macam air dalam tank disedut tapi takde udara masuk menyebabkan tank mengecut.

Siapa ada alami problem yg sama? Boleh tolong bagi idea untuk selesaikan?

maybe need to change the two tiny filters
also try look for a tiny hole at the water tank. maybe it is block. Air is suppose to go in from this hole, if it is block, the water wont come out

Only this 3 hole for water drop.
Where air hole locate?

oh your water tank is different from my s50
i dunno where the hole is in your tank

get cheap2 with no lidar waste money

I dah jumpa air hole.
I try dulu selesai tak masalah.

How's this vacuum robot? Is it good? Does it work?

Why? Most of the advanced features of LIDAR equipped robots (no-go zone, virtual wall, zoned cleaning) are in xiaomi 1c robot.

yeah, it works awesome for me after i made a smart map. I also did not get any issue with the mop. It can use 100% of the water. I got the new model that got no air hole on the mop rubber water plug.

It have issues with dilatation tho. So it wont stop if the dilatation is pretty small (e.g. bedroom to bathroom).

(jump to 3:07)

After it made a smart map, i simply put virtual walls on bathroom doors.

how much?

Dunno how much it is in Malaysia. In aliexpress it starts from 190 USD. In Indonesia it goes from 2.8 million IDR.

Cheapest robots with similar capabilities are 100-200 usd more expensive.

Hi bro, dah selesai masalah air ini?

i have the issue as you where my vacuum did not ejecting water to the mop pad.

please share if you have solved this issue.

Thanks in advance!

anyone having the problem to connect the devices to Xiaomi home apps ? my devices unable to detect in the apps, i changed the region to china or singapore also no luck.

Was thinking Xiaomi1C or roborock S5max.
Reserved for a seat at this terek first.

My maid is much better than any robot vacuum cleaner out there! hahaha

I was looking at these models. So, I bought the 1C during 9.9 sales for my own home (double story with around 50m^2 area per floor). Still experimenting with it. Need to let it clean a few rounds only can create smart map. On standard vacuum power and mop, the cleaning ability is like B+. A+ will be me sweeping and mopping (I mop twice per area).

It's usable but don't expect squeaky clean floor. Will try stronger suction next time. For a non LiDAR vacuum it's not bad at all.

I will bring this to my hometown to check if it can clean the house (old type landed house which is damn long). If the 1C not managed to finish cleaning in a single full charge, I will look at S5 Max.

hi all,

I bought my Xiaomi Mijia 1C in March. It now stopped working - it says collision sensor is stuck. I tried open up and it worked for a while and is now not working again.

I bought from Shopee from a vendor in Selangor. I am based in Penang and didn't want to post it back if possible.

does anyone know anyone can repair 1C in Penang?

Better contact the shopee vendor? Should have warranty right..

I threw the box already and the vendor said the warranty has to come with the box.

Does anyone has Xiaomi 1C vacuum repair vendor contact in Penang?

change the sensor ? or anything blocking the sensor after used a while ?

Using the 1c since the beginning of March. Not too bad. My house is a 1,200sft condo.

It maneuvers around furniture easily but can't really compare as my house has quite a minimalist design.

For me, the floors are squeaky clean and because i don't have any carpets, it works really well.

The only downside is that it can't get the corners perfectly.

1c suction 2500 pa still not strong enough?

It's one of the strongest I think.
But the mopping function probably use too little water. I'm not sure.
Anyway, surprisingly, it manages to cover my parent's home without much issue. Impressive for a budget vacuum.

7xx still consider budget vacuum?

Yes. Those LiDAR equipped ones like Roborock S5 Max are well over RM1k bro. Doubled the price for the same application, just no langgar langgar haha.

Bought it during 9.9 sale. not too bad for the price I think. Mostly using the vacuum function only, it does vacuum quite well. Pickup a lot of cat and human hair lol. My wife is happy with it, that's the important thing. Everything else is irrelevant XD

haha..roborock consider high end ...ya they all above 1k ..

bought wat model ?

mijia 1c

how much you bought during 99? local set or oversea?
wonder can got better price on1111

thanks ..

675 local set. 11.11 should be cheaper I think.

This post has been edited by mentalmuz: Oct 23 2020, 02:59 PM

cheap ..now need about 77x...

today shopee doing sale for Ecovacs brand robot vacuum cleaner...

wonder which model value for money ?

thanks..

what's the model for yourt 2 xiaomi robot vacuum?

so which one better?

1s and 1C

1S better

1s no moping ?

Nope.. at the time I bought,b there is no such model

ok...consider 1c now ...

I looking for one also, 1c probably cost only RM 600-700 on 11.11. Also considering mi robot (2016 gen) which can get below RM 700 from china but not sure how common is lidar problems, which is expensive to fix . Mijia 1s is 2nd gen mi robot with more functions. Have you bought yours?

I think ic does not have lidar so it just knocked itself of walls, no mapping capabilities? Right?

1c no lidar, but it have camera. It will knock into wall/furniture for first time, after that it will remember and slow down. It does have map capability, can select area to clean etc.

not yet buy ..wait for 1111

mi robot different from 1c? isnt top got circle thing pop up one ?
actually wat good is lidar function?

1c has moping function ...


how about deebot models ?

Yes mi robot was the first n oldest robot by xiaomi, its top got circle pop up with lidar. Lidar robot navigation is more accurate, won't knock into wall, easier to travel between tight space like table n chairs. 1c is different with mi robot, 1c is flat on top with only tiny camera.

1c mopping only have minimal effect from what i learn, still need to mop yourself if there are stains. For budget below 1k mijia 1c is one of the best value comparing to others, xiaomi app better n more updates too. If my budget above 1k i would prefer roborock s5 max over deebot.

so 1c is your choice ?
how about airbot ...dibea ?

deebot some models below 1k ....

roborock all models more than 1k

thanks

Yes i mainly looking at mijia 1c at shopee/lazada, if taobao got good deals maybe i buy mi robot there.
airbot/dibea i didn't survey much, because less popular brands harder to find spare sparts etc.
deebots below 1000 like cen540 and dd35 are popular too and easy to find spare parts. Their suction power are much weaker than mijia so maybe not as clean. Cen540 is already 4th gen and proven not much problems, if im on tight budget i definitely pick this over mijia 1c/g1.
Roborock sell only high end robots, and their after sale service / customers service is really good from reviews (not sure Malaysia one). Xiaomi is bang for bucks but service is relied on your seller, because there is no official store outside of china.

1c flash sale can get at rm68x ..but very limited unit ..

xiaomi official store selling 1c cannot get local service ?

I think xiaomi Malaysia official store not selling 1c...all are sold by reseller. Can get local service still from your seller.

https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1KVhb

this one not under xiaomi malaysia?the model they dont call 1c..

Oh ya that is 1c, my bad because when i search 1c their store never come out.

ic....think for the price range ...1c still worth of money?

what is the best lidar vacuum and mop robot out there now? need to get one on 11.11. can any sifu recommend?

I will never buy the RM 899 from official xiaomi lol, below rm700 from other sellers one is good for me. I would say 1c is best value for money below rm1k.

Share link

considering ecovacs t8+ with auto clean bin, any1 using it? i c youtube seems ok

jus bought 1 dibea to play with last with haha cheap but not really perfect, got stuck all the time, so nd a smarter bot

This post has been edited by zheilwane: Nov 6 2020, 12:36 PM

yes ..price higher ..

link pls ..

ecovacs t8+ over 1k ?

dibea wat model you bought ?

https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1KKGp
https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1KGRE
https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1KL4L
https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1K8gK
https://s.lazada.com.my/s.1K7rU

Just a few for example, maybe i don't even buy from them. Because from my experience some sellers don't advertise before 12am. What i do is just wake up at 12am and check flash sale see which one is cheapest.

pls update link here after you decide which seller to buy from on 1111 ...share with us the best price ..

thank you ...

thank you very much! how about shopee side?

Well, lazada is better this time maybe with laztreat rm55 voucher, shopee one probably expensive by a little.

bought gt200, i am happy with the cleaning performance just not happy it get stucked and i need to manually move it

so, i have to remove all my floor mats, close the sliding door and chair with curved leg

now aiming for this

This post has been edited by zheilwane: Nov 6 2020, 06:20 PM

laztreat rm55 need payment by using lzd wallet right?
i plan by installment....

gt200 consider high end for dibea ....

ozmo t8 high end for deebot too ....

Sorry for hijacking TS , just curious how much your electricity bill increase for using these robot vacuum cleaner?

any body has problem after 2 years battery degrading? how easy to find spare parts?

will increase a lot because keep charging the robot?

battery just plug n play ...hot brand should easily find replacement ..

14hours plus plus to go....

any good model recommend?

thanks...

Hi, have you found the right item and put in your shopping cart yet ?

I have a Mi Robot (2016) at my own home, which has LDS / LIDAR function (has map, no mopping, no virtual wall in app). And my in-law's place they have a Roborock S5 which is almost identical with the Mi Robot but has mopping function plus virtual wall in app.

The thing is my in-law wants to get another new robot for his house, I thought of helping him to get a Mijia 1C for the ground floor, and they can use the Roborock on 1st floor. The old ppl does not want to carry the big robot everyday up and down stairs like he is doing now. They are at 70's yes, it's safer to have 2 robot in this case. Question is, 1C good enough for ground floor which has sofa, dinning table and chairs ?

Why I thought about 1C is also because of the slim body, it can go under sofa easily. The Roborock is a bit too thick, my in-law needs to add some ugly buffer on this furniture now.
