15 Jan 2020 · Reviews 70 CommentsOne of the most popular and reliable brands of robot vacuums is Ecovacs and their Deebot range.However, there are strong competitors, such as Xiaomi, standing out in the western market.One of the most recent releases was the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P which, in addition to vacuuming, as the name implies, also includes a mop and its water tank.For the last few days this has been my helper with the housework and now it's time to tell him all about his potential.Obviously a Xiaomi product could not have a simple description.In fact, it's not even the brand's fault, but the various stores, where each one names its products in the way it considers best.In this case, the official name of the vacuum cleaner is Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P, a name that appears in the dedicated mobile application.Then, in some stores it can appear as Xiaomi Mi Smart Robot Vacuum or even as Xiaomi Mijia 2 in 1 Robot Vacuum Mop Vacuum Cleaner.The trick is to always look carefully at the design and accessories available.Or, better yet, follow the link at the end of the article.So there are no errors.The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P robot vacuum cleaner comes with a charging base and its electrical plug.In addition, it comes with a deposit only for dust and another one suitable for the use of the mop.This second deposit, in addition to the garbage reservoir, includes a small tank for water.For cleaning with water, it includes the base for the mop that attaches to the base of the vacuum cleaner and two washable mops.Finally, it comes with two rotating brushes, one of which is for use in the vacuum cleaner and the other is a spare.The instruction manual is also included in the box... This will be useful if you understand Chinese or if you have Google translator handy.The design of Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P is quite elegant.It has a glossy finish and curved lines.On top it has laser sensors to map the area and two control buttons (Power and Home).It also has the lid that gives access to the tank.In addition, in this area there is an accessory to help with cleaning the vacuum cleaner.At the front, it includes a bumper and its anti-shock sensors, below, come the various anti-fall sensors.At the bottom there is also the main rotating brush, the side broom, the omnidirectional wheel and the main wheels capable of climbing up to two centimeters.It is a feature created with the intention of crossing small gaps and carpets.About this set of sensors we drew some conclusions.Therefore, looking at the positive ones, the first one has to do with the mapping that is done correctly, even in dark spaces.The vacuum cleaner does not hit walls or obstacles indiscriminately.Finally, do not fall from heights.Lighter rugs should be removed before starting to vacuum.All others can be kept.The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P easily vacuums rugs and carpets.However, with the use of a mop, the ideal is to create limits on the rugs so that the water does not end up damaging them.In terms of mapping, this is done completely right after the first cleanup.After going through the entire available area, areas are created automatically, where you can later order the cleaning.The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P software offers four suction levels: silent, standard, medium and turbo.Then, with the use of the water tank, it allows a vacuum with a mop or simply the functionality of cleaning with water.Also cleaning with water allows you to choose the level of water you want to use.It should be noted that we are not dealing with a simple passage of water and mop.The robots thus behave as if they were effectively rubbing the floor.The aspiration is done efficiently with a vacuum cleaning system.It is a system that provides a deeper cleaning, with a suction power of 2100 Pa.The mop and water tank are optional and not recommended for carpets.The mop is attached to the vacuum cleaner and the tank slowly pours (with three different modes).It should be noted that for cleaning with water it is necessary to change the garbage deposit.That is, one of the tanks is used exclusively for vacuuming and the other for cleaning and vacuuming, with a small tank to put water.With the robot in Chinese, some commands may not be immediately perceptible, namely when changing deposits.When placing the water tank, an error appears in the application that states that the tank is not placed correctly.At that moment, the vacuum cleaner emits a few words that are nothing more than asking if the tank is placed correctly.By clicking on the vacuum cleaner's power button, this information is confirmed, thus starting the desired cleaning.Not being the most efficient robot vacuum cleaner tested on Pplware, the truth is that given the relationship between quality and price, the end result is positive.The suction mode is the common one, first it goes through the entire perimeter and then the area of ​​the zig-zag space.This process does not guarantee efficient cleaning along walls or corners, however, all other cleaning is satisfactory.Autonomy is a very positive point in this robot.The Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P allows you to vacuum an area of ​​150 to 200 m² with one battery cycle.However, if the cleaning is not completed, the vacuum cleaner does not have the desired behavior of returning to the base, loading and restarting its work until it is finished.Return to the charging base and stay there.Maybe in a next update, this problem will be solved.The Xiaomi Home app, despite being very complete, is not at all the most fluid apps out there.It has some errors and it may take a while to show all the information related to the devices connected to it, namely the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P.Even so, the application allows you to do all the remote control, even outside the house, since the vacuum cleaner is connected to the Wi-Fi network.In short, in addition to ordering vacuuming, stopping, returning to the base, it is possible to define localized vacuuming areas, make appointments and consult information on the cleaning history, as well as enabling other functions to be activated.The map recording mode is quite complete with a positive evolution from the test to the previous version.The Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P is a competent vacuum cleaner, with quality and vacuuming efficiency.Regarding some popular brands in the national market, it may not have such an efficient vacuum, but it offers a more complete and intuitive app, more advanced cleaning and vacuuming features and, of course, a much more interesting price.To mention, the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P is available for €329, and you can also enjoy a special discount of €10, with the promotional code GEEKROBOT.Delivery is fast, without additional costs.Pplware thanks Geekmall for providing the equipment for analysis.Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop PThis article is over a year oldPropose a fix, make a suggestionAuthor: Maria Inês CoelhoYes, Ecovacs Deebots are very good, I can prove it!Can this application be used on the S50?How is the color map placed?Regards Paulo FreitasThe application is integrated into Mi Home.It is restricted to what has been made available for that device.This robot is Mijia, the S50 is Roborock.Colors appear automatically as soon as divisions are created.There will be a chance that the S50 Roborock application will be like Mijia's, because from what I see this map in color and with designation is more attractive and enlightened.If that's the case, just say that it's the room he's going to vacuum, while with just the S50 we have to walk to make a square over the area we want vacuumed.Regards Paulo FreitasThis function I think only appeared from the S6 and now on the S5 Max and S4Paulo, I have the S55 (same as the s50 but in black) and the map has been like this for a few weeks, you have to see if you have updates, either on the vacuum cleaner or on the mi home app.It was a brutal update, mainly because those squares are no longer needed.Did you launch alone?Can you tell which version of your mi home and which country you have defined in the application?Is this robot inferior to Xiaomi's top of the range?In which range of the brand is it positioned?How does it compare to the other models?This robot is the top of the range from Mijia, a brand that belongs to the Xiaomi ecosystem.Another Xiaomi brand is Roborock, which we have already analyzed here.In terms of performance, Roborock seemed to us to be slightly superior, but there are some differences to be aware of.For example, the mop accessory is sold separately on Roborock, and this Mi Smart Robot is already included (mop + water tank).Your house was poorly thought out, you paid a lot of useless area in a huge Hall / corridor, if the photo of the plant is of your house.I don't know about the vacuum cleaner, I have one of the simplest Ecovacs (Slim 2) and within what I expected, it works.The most important sensor in this one is the one on top (LDS distance sensor), which is what allows you to map the house.Tip, don't buy a robot that doesn't do this, because they get lost easily, or worse, they often pass through certain areas and few or no others.🙂 You're used to tiny houses.Any good house, with good areas, has a hall and large and wide corridors.Your observation without knowing the size of bedrooms and living room, whether it's duplex, triplex, villa or other, only shows that you understand BOLA :)))))And clean black carpets?or “thinks” it is a hole?Demonstration in an already clean house!This is no demonstration, it's just something else….In the midst of so much analysis….Which is the best up to 300€In the news it was not said that you can only start the Chinese server (this is a difficulty if you have a mi lamp, because you are not recognized on this server) it was also not said that for the mop function I need to buy the water tank only.What is the difference between this and Roborck S50?As I said in the comment above, there are some points that differ: – the suction efficiency is slightly higher on the Roborock S50 – the accessory for the mop+deposit is sold separately on the Roborock (keeping the garbage dump), and on this Mi Smart Robot already is included (mop + water tank + garbage can) – Roborock recognizes that it is on a mat and automatically increases the vacuuming power – although not relevant, Roborock speaks in English, this Mi Smart Robot still only knows ChineseI have the first one since it came out and it's still immaculate.This one is basically the same but with a mop.If it came with Darth Vader's voice, I would even think about changing my old man 🙂Good morning, here at home one appeared at Christmas, and it was a big surprise, in addition to the mapping being very noticeable, the detail of the legs of the chairs and tables, in terms of effectiveness, for the first contact I had with something like this, it seemed that the house had not been vacuumed for weeks when in fact the cleaning lady had spent 2 days before… in terms of cleaning with water 5 stars fast and effective, basically I am quite happy, and I advise anyone looking for something like that…Good evening Can anyone help me in the synchronization of the robot with the application of me always error at the end Thank youYou will probably have to change the location to China…I already did it but I still can'tThere are smartphones that have problems configuring this type of device (vacuum cleaners, lamps, sensors, etc.), due to permissions granted by the operating system.Basically, the configuration mechanism works as follows: 1- the robot has a Wi-Fi access point connected 2- the app detects that the robot's Wi-Fi network exists and allows you to start the configuration;then it asks the user which Wi-Fi network+password to put on the robot 3- the app makes the smartphone automatically connect to the robot's Wi-Fi network, to give the user account information and network credentials Wi-Fi (this is where some smartphones fail) 4- as soon as the robot receives the information, it disconnects from the smartphone and tries to connect to the Wi-Fi network 5- when the connection is successfully made, the status of the device in the app is updated and ready to useIn point 3, there are smartphones that “do not let” apps change the Wi-Fi network.To correct this, when the process is in this step, it is necessary to go to the Wi-Fi networks and manually switch to the robot's network (this one I think is “viomi…….”).By doing this, the problem is solved.Does it also work with mobile data?I've already done it manually too but I couldn't at the end of the always an error I've also set the region as China and I can't unfortunatelyWhat part does it fail?When the robot connects to the Wi-Fi network?Try changing the Wi-Fi channel (at 2.4GHz) on the router.If it happens to be channel 12 or 13, it may not be compatible.Choose a middle channel, like channel 6.It thinks it connects to the network and then starts to configure and gives an error at the end Net or router failure I sent the email with the errorIf a message appears to keep the connection to WiFi no internet hides to keep the connection, that solved my problem.This robot only works with Chinese Mainland server, more info at https://c.mi.com/thread-2557758-1-0.htmlGood, following the opinion of this, and other articles, I chose this model.After the first general cleaning, the map was created, but I can't send the machine to clean just one area, because it ends up always walking around the whole house and doesn't leave the base, it cleans the selected area and comes back.As mentioned in the article.How did they make it work?ThanksWell, since no one answers, I answer.You need to update its firmware to improve this aspect.Something I also noticed is that it is advisable not to stay under a cupboard, in my case I followed the side and front distances recommended in the manual, but the cupboard was a little higher than the robot.Apparently this one was disoriented by that.I moved to a place with nothing on top and it was working properly.I would like to say with complete confidence that “the time of pulling the vacuum cleaner around the house is long gone”, but I confess I am somewhat reticent about the effectiveness of this equipment to deal with different types of flooring situations.I would be grateful if anyone has this kind of experience and can share.Very good, it was great to clean the roomGood afternoon, after seeing so many robot models I'm completely confused but I'm about to buy a Xiaomi robot vaccum for 250e on olx, new.Can anyone tell me if this is a good buy?THXDo you happen to know if this robot works with multi-floor?or if we can only have a map in the application?You can have more than one map, but you have to change it manuallyHello João, with the new firmware update, in addition to the girl starting to speak English instead of Mandarin, the option to save several maps appears, I already had 5 different ones.When he does a general cleaning in which there are changes, he asks at the end if he wants to save the map, thus making it possible to save several, for example, for houses with more than one floor.In my case, the new map replaces the old one.That's not what I call multi-floorCan you tell me what the comparison is with the Viomi v2 pro also from Xiaomi?Is it possible to program 2 house plans?with the latest app/firmware update, it supports up to 5 different maps, ie 5 plans.I can't find the "save map" or "manage maps" menu.i have the english APP, there is no option (from what i can see) to save map.There is an option for “Remember map”, to activate or deactivate, if activated, when doing a general cleaning, that is, without specifying any specific location, it will ask if it finds changes in relation to the last saved map. want to save this map.Answering yes, it does not delete the previous one, but saves it (it can be seen in the “Map list” option), as well as keeping the previous one.This option only appeared to me after having updated the firmware to version 3.5.3_0047 good luckToday I managed to “replace” the map, by placing the charger and vacuum cleaner on another floor of the house.Then I even gave the divisions names, similar to what I had done in the initial map.If you go to the maps now you should have these twohi, my version is 3.5.3_0017 and it says it's the latest when asking to check for new versions.How can I force or somehow get to this version?I have this robot and I have a problem.The water does not want to come out of the reservoir.Hi, what is the difference between this one and the Robock S50?Thanks.Good afternoon.If I have a 2-story house, does it map 1 floor and then the other and both are recorded for subsequent cleanings?And so, on the 1st floor, I have it clean certain areas and then on the 2nd floor, do the same?Or every time the floor changes it makes a new map?Thanks for the attentionGood afternoon.Does anyone know if the non-pro mop model also has the option to remember map?ThanksI've had the robot on the charging base for about 24 hours.The white lights keep flashing and I think the battery is not charged.can you help me pleaseHello Mario.This could mean that the robot has not yet established a connection to the network.Once you've done that, you'll be able to check the battery charge from the app on your smartphone.Good afternoon.Can someone explain to me why, when scheduling a cleaning for just the living room and kitchen, the robot cleans the whole house, spraying itself for the indication I gave it loolIt smells like the device is owned by Marie Kondo and is not content with cleaning just one room…I appreciate the humor but I would appreciate it even more to understand why he doesn't just clean the area I chose.I apologize if my comment caused you displeasure.Regarding the question, that was a problem that I haven't (yet) had.in my case it was extremely difficult to get the latest version of the software on the bug, leaving it speaking English :).after that it was flawless!however, a few weeks ago she lost the connection to the APP so much that I had to re-pair the APP and she was speaking Chinese again, I never heard her speak in English again, but what I tell you is clear… I would try to unpair and pair again new or do a reset to see if it would bring improvements… then say if you have already solved it.hugGood afternoon Is it possible to change the robot's voice?Mine was supposed to be global and it came from China.Thanks!How can I create distinct divisions in the mihome app and how can I create virtual walls where I don't want it to vacuum.ThanksI'm undecided between this robot and the Roborock S6, do you think it's worth spending another €150 on the S6?How can I create distinct divisions in the mihome app and how can I create virtual walls where I don't want it to vacuum.ThanksHow can I create distinct divisions in the mihome app and how can I create virtual walls where I don't want it to vacuum.ThanksIn the app, there are three dots at the top on the top right that allow access to the menu.Within the menu, there is the option to change areas and to wall virtual/restricted areas.What is the product reference number?I recently purchased a Mi Robot vacuum mop p, which when selecting the only mop function says that the tank is missing, but if I select vacuum and mop it already works.That is, it recognizes the appropriate tank, water tank, but it only allows vacuuming and rubbing.There is a deposit that you buy the part just to scrubHowever, on Facebook, they gave a tip, taking the filter out of the 2 in 1 tank, it already works in the scrubbing function.Your email address will not be published.You may use these HTML tags and attributes:
