XIAOMI MI ROBOT VACUUM-MOP

There’s something adorable about robot vacuums. People name them, cats ride them, and it’s just enjoyable watching your handy house device autonomously scooting around the floor doing your bidding. Xiaomi’s Robot Vacuum-Mop is easily one of the best gadgets you can buy for your home. It’s super smart – a combination of 12 sensors and lasers scans its surroundings in real time to learn the layout of your home. Set parameters with the Mi Home app such as no-go areas, or a cleaning schedule. Did your dog just bring in half the garden? Summon the robot using the app to sweep up – we’re not judging. It will sweep, suck and mop for around 2.5 hours before running flat … but it won’t get there – it’ll hurry back to its docking station to power up, as long as the charger is connected to power. Its flat proportions have it easily cleaning spots you seldom do, such as under furniture and beds. It’s also effective at mopping: just top it up with water and floor cleaner before setting it free. Yes, you’ll have to clean the brush from time to time, and empty dirt from the removable bin, but, ultimately, Xiaomi’s Robot Vacuum-Mop is something you’ll want in your home forever.
