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.

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...

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.
