Xiaomi MiJia Robot Vacuum Cleaner

The Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner is an advanced home cleaner that effectively cleans dirt on the floor in all corners of the room. To do this, a small robot uses a whole galaxy of various sensors.

Galaxy of sensors

A laser rangefinder installed in a separate turret on the back of the device helps the vacuum cleaner to navigate in space. It allows you to determine obstacles at a distance and, based on their geometry, map the room. The robot always knows where it is at the current moment, which parts of the room it has yet to explore, and where to go if the energy reserves in the built-in battery run out. The remaining sensors (accelerometer, compass, dust sensors, height difference, distance from walls, etc.) are involved both in increasing the efficiency of cleaning and in ensuring that the device avoids obstacles.

Smart features

The work of the vacuum cleaner is coordinated by three processors at once, which makes it truly “smart”. In full, the smart capabilities of Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner open in the associated Mi Home application. It gives you access to a cleaning scheduling calendar, detailed maps of the area that was cleaned, and other useful features. Support for remote control requires compliance with only one condition — the presence of an active Wi-Fi connection.

A win-win

Minor complaints from the owners of the smart device relate to the lack of a carrying handle on its body and the presence of problems with the localization of the interface in the associated application. Neither the efficiency of cleaning nor the battery life of the device claims the owners of the vacuum cleaner. The more advantageous it looks against the background of similarly priced competitors in the class, which cannot boast of such rich equipment and functionality.
