Mi Home - Xiaomi Smart Home

Have only used it to sweep but it does a pretty decent job and is pretty fast about it... only problem is the dust bin does not empty itself during docking/charging time!! but the cool thing is once you hook it to your phone it has a pause feature and you can remove the dust bin after it has been from room to room for awhile, empty it out and replace it. Go back on your phone and hit start or continue not sure what it said exactly lol but it continues right along until it covers anything it has access too.. so yeah pretty awesome so far but like I said I have not tried the mop features... future bad review may come. Dunno? I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt cuz I like it so far.. fingers crossed... hope this helps someone out there looking to buy one of these things... oh yeah battery life was pretty decent long as you kinda pick stuff up off the ground and the less it bumps things the better battery life.. just sayin!! Later

The app has some surprising capabilities but you have to hop down the rabbit hole to get to them. Probably the easiest fix is to default to having the device save the map. Once the map is saved dividing the space into named rooms/areas is easy. Once that is done the app is easy and reliable for the most part. Particularly nice is the pin and go feature which drives the robot right to where you need it for spot cleaning. Noticed some buggy behavior with the remote control feature in the app not recognizing joystick touches. Quitting and restarting the app seems to clear the problem. The go home command always works as does selecting individual areas for mopping. Solid robot!

Love this little vacuum/mop. We have 2 cats and although I vacuumed with my dyson animal immediately before starting this vacuum it pulled enough dust and fur up to fill the dustbin. Our rug hasn’t been this clean since we got it. I’ve used it 3 times this week and we’re thrilled with it. Only reason for 4stars instead of 5 is ease if use with the phone. It’s not so easy to set up for those of us tech challenged folks in fact it’s still not set up. I happened on the the remote once when I was looking for something else and haven’t found it again now that I want to use it... the nice thing is we can just place it where we want to clean and press start.

The app has many features that are excellent. However it is not very user friendly. It can be a little confusing to try to set up your vacuum robot to complete certain tasks. I had to scour the whole app and spend over an hour getting to know where things were within the app. If you don’t have some features set up, it won’t allow you to set up others. Then you have to back out and go find where those settings are. I do love all the features this vacuum can do and that you can go through an app, just wish it was easier to set things up and the understanding of what features are in what categories.

I use this app with a Roborock S5 robotic vacuum cleaner. The device offers a “zoned cleanup” mode, which is nice, but the app does not allow the map to be rotated or for the zone to be drawn as anything other than a horizontal rectangle, so the zone doesn’t ever match the shape or orientation of the map. I end up with a zone shaped like a square that is overlaid on the map of a room that is shaped more like a diamond. Also would be nice to be able to break the house into multiple zones with different cleaning schedules (e.g. kitchen and living room every day, bathroom twice a week, bedroom once a week, etc.). All in all, it’s still not a terrible app and I love the robot itself, just need a little improvements to the app.
