Robot vacuum

[papi smith]

Anyone out there who owns these? Would appreciate your feedback, there's almost a 5k difference between the two, my kuripot instinct tells me the ILife, both items have good reviews on lazada, and both are included in the top 5 robot vacuum s in an internet article. what do you think?

I am having difficulty attaching photos, so link na Lang po muna, thanks.

We bought a Roomba 600-series last year when we were in Alabama for $270 (tax included). My wife was so happy to see it at work!

I have the Xiaomi one. Been using it for almost a year or even more as I don't remember when we got it. Seems it does its job as you get lots of dust and small particles in the compartment after each run. My only gripe is you still need to use a manual broom in those pesky corners or the ones behind the door if you leave it open while the robot vacuums the place. But it is what it is and it's pretty convenient. I have cleaned the sensors only once as there's a page in the app for maintenance. Haven't replaced anything yet like brushes, etc.

Have the Xiaomi Gen 1

Hulog ng langit, especially now na work from home.

Now, thinking of replacing it with the version that mops after vacuuming the house

I've had the Xiaomi robovac for about a year now. Very happy with its functionality, gets the job done with no fuss.



Most robovacs function the same, differentiating factor would be parts availability (brushes mostly). Xiaomi sells the spare parts online so not an issue there.

You might also want to check Anker's Eufy Robovac. Same price as Xiaomi.

ILife +1 (c/o Egan because one review in Lazada says it is better than their Roomba, just don't know what series the guy was referring to)

Xiaomi + 3

[xwangbu]

i got one in 2017 - seebest yung brand. buo pa hanggang ngayon.
wet and dry pwede sya. matibay din kasi ilang beses na ring sinakyan ng anak ko di pa nagkakaproblema.
remote has auto and manual controls.


Qoo1 - ROBOT VACUUM : Small Appliances

[papi smith]

In that case, mukhang mature tech na itong robot vac, so safe na maski ano brand, hindi malayo na maglabas na rin ang the likes of hanabishi, union, etc in the near future

[papi smith]

What makes it hard for me to decide to buy the higher priced xiaomi is kakabili ko lang last December 15 ng Philips FC9350 na vacuum and this despite na maayos pa ung shopvac namin na disappointed ako sa performance.

I'm absolutely sure that not ALL robot vacuums are the same... maybe only if they share the same assembly line and sold as two or more different brands.

This link might help you decide which model works best for you. 1 most common mistakes made when selecting a robot vacuum

It may not provide you a list of specific models, but at least you'll know what features to look out for.

[papi smith]

Thank you for the link oj88, I think both units above conforme with the points mentioned in the article, except for area mapping Mayne, I saw a comment of a buyer in lazada that the ILife did not have lidar tech, is this the one that helps it map the area? Also,. good point on the height of the robovac so it can slide under furniture.

Edit: I went back to check the specs of both and saw that the ilife did had little detail, so I have to research on the features of both on their respective sites, thanks again oj88!

hmmm... I did a comparo long ago before purchasing mine...

choices were Xiaomi (Gen 1), entry level Roomba and an ubranded one.

Unbranded one did not have a lidar which means it will just keep moving forward until it bumps into something.
(I think) the Roomba didn't have the rotating brush underneath

Why Xiaomi? - it has an app and can be controlled even if you're not at home
it can map your house and clean different rooms
parts are easily available

cons - it's on the noisier side (especially compared to the better ones)

before you purchase...

how's your house floor? baka it has different levels making it impossible for the vacuum to clean the entire floor in 1 go.
do you use a vacuum to clean? or walis and dustpan?
do you have pets/kids?

Nakakatuwa ito, and I admit tempted kami ni misis bumili. But our laboratory had a Roomba, and I observed hindi naman ganun ka-ayos yung linis niya. After daanan ng Roomba sinubukan ko punasan yung sahig, may alikabok at agiw pa rin. Yung cleaning brush niya parang ilang hibla lang while the vacuum is pretty weak.

[ice15]

kaya nga I chose the Xiaomi... may brush sa ilalim...



unlike yung iba na 2 brush sa gilid tapos vacuum lang sa ilalim...

and di naman talaga sya ganun kalinis. kailangan mo pa din mag-mop/hand held (stronger vacuum) regularly
pansin na pansin ang dif sa house kung araw araw mo sya gagamitin.

I have 4 cats, Kaya I need to vacuum daily, nito kasing ECQ, napansin ko na madalas kami Ni daughter ma allergy, unlike dati na lumalabas to work, ngayon full exposure to fur. Hirap kasi sa manual vac ang bigat ng unit na hila hila mo parati.

Napansin ko sa ILIFE, for a 4.5k savings vs the Xiaomi, it has a lower battery cap of 2 hours vs 2.5 hours. Wala siyang APP, remote control Lang. Mas mahina suction power, 1000 pA vs 1800 pA, pero I read sa isang review na sufficient na ito kung wala kang carpet. No LIDAR din. No path mapping, planned zigzag lang.

But, it has wet mopping.

Edit, after watching a comparison of both at YouTube, I think I will buy the Xiaomi because of the suction brush, higher power and intelligent mapping, parang hilo ung takbo ng ILIFE sa video

Speaking of robovac, mine is on duty today:



Since it "learns" your floor plan, it tends to have quicker cleaning times as time progresses vs the first time you run it.

Sir Jut, is it capable of memorizing 5 floor plans? Say 3 bedrooms, 1 sala and 1 hallway?

How much did you buy yours? Is it really on sale at 13k (gen 1)?

[papi smith]

it can map your house and clean different rooms

Can you save this to memory? I asked Jut if it can, then I saw this when I backread.

May provision ba for mop add on?

[papi smith]

do you have pets/kids?

I was wondering why you asked this, then I saw this review bit...

"However, even though the device works perfectly against most debris forms, it has a hard time dealing with hair. So if you have a pet around the house, then this cleaner may not be the one for you."

I have 4 cats, fur is a daily problem, do you have pets and noticed that it does not do well picking up hair/fur?

Thanks.

no, you cannot add a mop.

as for the MAP, once mag vaccum sya ng house, as long as you don't turn it off (long press ng power button), naka save lang sa kanya yung MAP ng house, then you can do "Zone Clean-up" using the App.

Once off mo yung vacuum, mabubura yung MAP ng house mo.

2nd if you carry the vacuum para sa ibang part ng house na hindi nya kaya puntahan (like my kitchen), mabubura yung earlier MAP nya.

mag-kaiba kasi level ng living room and kitchen ko, so kung malaglag sya sa kitchen... di na sya makaka-balik sa living room.

Unlike the high-end Roomba na may sensor to see if may dirt syang di nakuha (I think TOTL Samsung and LG also has this)

Yung Xiaomi will only make a pass twice, so minsan talaga may hindi sya makukuha... pero as you will use it everyday, makukuha nya din yun, eventually.
