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

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

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. [/spoiler]

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...

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

Jz get the mi 1c, after a few days pretty satisfied with it..
1. Captured quite a bit of dust with silent mode even after I vacuum with my Dyson, I must have missed a few spots..
2. Mopping function is a bit troublesome so I guess I will probably use it for few times only.
3. This is meant to reduce house dust, not to replace weekly chore I think.
4. The dust bin is not designed properly I think, maybe due to lack of space. Dust will always end up on the filter itself, so it will get clogged up after 2 or 3 cleaning cycles. A Dyson filter will hardly have any dust at all. The cyclone will separate all the dust before it reaches the first cloth filter.
5. Not sure how good is mopping, you know it's dragging the cloth, but it don't produce the squeaky clean effect compare to normal mopping.

As a conclusion, I think it's okay to purchase if you have rm700+ to play around and not mind too much.. my biggest concern is how long will it last, the local warranty is almost useless as it's repaired by local sellers, no official warranty by Mi.

Oi cannot compare with Dyson laaaa if you want Dyson they have robot vac as well but you need to sell kidney hahaha

Overall i ok with it but as usual dustbin need to empty and clean the hepa filter (can wash with water)

Rm700 no complaint laaa

No worry ya, even the cheapest robot RM 50 one doesn't fall from stairs, unless the sensor blocked/malfunction. For mijia 1c you can easily set virtual wall/no go zone using mihome app, so there is no need for barrier tape at all (it is only for old robot when app isn't advanced yet). Follow your robot for first few time to make sure it doesn't fall/stuck, to be safe.

The barrier tape works i have it install in my house because my fall to kitchen not deep enough to trigger fall sensor.
Makesure you get the ori mijia tape

Hi,

Want to ask, will this robot go into one bedroom do it's work than to another bedroom and so on if I put it upstairs which have 3 bedrooms?

Interested in buying one.

Thank you.

Initial you may want to build some barrier if up stairs... incase vacuum decided to suicide... also buy magnetic tape (Virtual wall tape)

once the vacuum complete mapping the area + rooms the vacuum will create the area map and rooms, then you can draw virtual wall or no go zone (eg near stairs)

you can assign vacuum to certain room or vacuum all

Vacuum all the vacuum will sweep the main hall first before going to individual room

Bro,

how to draw virtual wall? i scare to put the robot upstairs scare it sweep the hall then come to stairs fall down tai wok liao...  console.gif

To be safe if you put upstairs

1. Buy Xiaomi robot magnetic wall barrier (A brown magnetic tape)
2. use the app go to the 3 dot upper right -> Turn on "Experimental feature" (Map saving mode)
3. Let the robot MOP upstairs with your supervision and with Temporary barrier
4. The robot will start building the map, will take 2-3 runs before MAP is build
5. once MAP is ready under "MAP MANAGEMENT"
6. Start adding software virtual wall

For up stairs where the chance of suicide is there I will put virtual and magnetic virtual wall to be safe... dont want the robot start suiciding

although xiaomi robot has build in drop sensors and stuff sometime I notice it will overshot the ledge
