Just received my Xiaomi Mi Robot and set it up last night... man it is a well built and lovely looking piece of kit! Setup wasn't bad at all with the Youtube translation video, and some bits of the app are in English amusingly enough. I'm going to remotely trigger it today and then see how it goes from the app... apparently you can keep an eye on it at all times.
Looking forward to having the entire apartment cleaned in one go and it will replace 2x Roombas.
EDIT - LOL this is awesome... I could fully monitor the MiRo as it went on it's travels and the app shows a map of my apartment along with a line representing every move and turn that the MiRo has made. Seems like it did a good job of coverage, and tomorrow I will open my living room door and see how it handles the apartment plus carpets etc.
To clean my apartment it used only 20% battery, so I think I can further improve the settings to have more passes or stronger suction. Love it.
Ooh interesting, I look forward to that if true! I also didn't know it was made by another company.
Cool...
That's about what I got mine for give or take ten or so pounds... I did then get stung with £45 import tax though... Even so, £300 for the unit seems good IMHO.
Mine was sent as a "£19 sweeper", so I guess it depends on the seller as to whether they try and dodge import tax or not.
Hmmm... Guess my sender was too honest...
Setting up was easy - The Mi App was in English from the outset, and all I had to do was tell it the voice pack should be in English.
I then told it to do a clean, and it spent the next 45mins or so doing the entire ground floor. My concern of it getting from our hallway up a 15mm threshold ramp into our kitchen proved unnecessary as it was no problem at all. Interestingly I started it from a random place yet it still went back to the docking station when finished. It obviously found it on its travels and remembered where!
Note: It doesn't reach/clean right into the corners of rooms, but that's understandable!
Come the end of the clean, the internal collector box was absolutely rammed full! Two things as regards this:-
1) In a review I read, a criticism was that the debris tended to only fill up the middle of the box around the inlet so a lot of the collector box was left unused/empty. This was not my experience. It was filled to all its corners!
2) We wondered what our cleaning lady had done the day before!
My one criticism? The little brush cleaning tool that comes with it... There should be a little slot/home for it under the units lid to keep it in a safe logical place!
