We have the Roborock S5 vacuum off of Amazon.

It's quite pricey and not everyone can justify for an expensive vacuum cleaner, but this model is quite smart and is considerably cheaper than the mainstream brand (the equivalent costs about $800 or more if I'm not mistaken).

I used to have the cheaper robot vacuum and it wasn't very "smart". It'd bump into everything, get stuck and had a hard a hard time navigating back "home" (charging dock) to recharge.

I had my doubts on this new one we just got because of our past experience but we liked the fact that the floor was so clean every day and pretty smart. We have tile floors. You know that feeling when you're walking around barefoot and you just stepped on something dry or the bottom of your feet just feels dusty or crumbly? Yeah, no more of that! (We used to vacuum only on weekends)

Before I talk endlessly about the joys of owning a robot vacuum, I'll stop here :P Let me know if you have any questions though. We've owned this for more than a month now and it's been running every day for about 45 minutes, cleaning our whole one floor house. We also have a cat and it picks up cat hair just fine.

The Xiaomi Mi is sold in the US under the Roborock brand.

Roborock S5 Robotic Vacuum and Mop Cleaner, 2000Pa Super Power Suction &Wi-Fi Connectivity and Smart Navigating Robot Vacuum with 5200mAh Battery Capacity for Pet Hair, Carpet & Hard Floor (White) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0792BWMV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Tr6JCbD0D3B91

This is mine (link below). I bought it two years ago so not sure if there are updated versions now, but it’s still going strong. They’re usually heavily discounted on Black Friday :)

Here it is on Amazon but I've seen go as low as $400 Australian dollars if you shop around. It can connect to Google Home by adding a third-party device through the Home app and connecting your Mi Home account, then you can set up voice commands and routines with Google.

You should check out Roborock. The S5, S5 Max, S6 or S6 Pure are the vaccine that they make with vacuuming and mopping functions. The main differences between them is the bin size, battery size and processing. However, you should check their website for more information. Currently, the S5 which has mopping, lidar mapping and no go lines + no mop lines is selling for $479.99 on Amazon.

Highly recommend the Xiaomi Mai Gen 2/Roborock S50. Not only is it cheaper than the Roomba, it cleans better and more methodically. Check out the COMMENTS section here: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-robot-vacuum/

It is on amazon for $400 after a coupon now: https://smile.amazon.com/Roborock-Robotic-Connectivity-Navigating-Capacity/dp/B0792BWMV4

I have one and so far it has been amazing, it cleans thoroughly and has zero issues. The dust bin is always full when I empty it after the occasional cleaning, meaning it does its job really well. However, the company also does Facebook giveaways and promos - I got mine for $350 because of a discount code that I won by participating in a promo. For value AND efficiency, I really can't recommend this enough. But, do your own research as well - this is a big purchase. Don't just go with a Roomba because it's popular - the wirecutter article and comments, especially, are a good place to start reading.

I bought mine from the roborock shop on amazon.

It is significantly cheaper at gearbest, but I would assume it doesn't come with a US warranty.

There is an updated model on ebay as well for 400$.

It is well made & I think my failure was a fluke. Roborock US might also repair units without warranty if you pay, but I'm not sure. They did not ask me for a receipt or proof of purchase when I had problems with mine.

​

If you buy directly from roborock on Amazon, there's 1 year warranty.

Is this the item on Amazon? I see the S6 Pure mentioned by name (on sale), the S6 for full price and this "S65" that looks like an S6, but ???

Thanks for the heads up. I checked it out and all I can find is the "S65" one and I couldn't determine what that was.

https://www.amazon.com/Roborock-Robotic-Connectivity-Navigating-Capacity/dp/B0792BWMV4/

Aww man, I referred someone else to the link and they bought the last one. Going for $280 now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792BWMV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_HN6YXHBVR49DYQMW257N

I think the difference is the color option, refer to this amazon page https://www.amazon.com/Roborock-Robotic-Connectivity-Navigating-Capacity/dp/B0792BWMV4?keywords=roborock+s51&qid=1536588613&sr=8-3&ref=sr_1_3, where there are three available colors white, rose and black. But Xiaomi isn´t clear about that.

In my opinion, if you don't want to pay for the i7+ or s9+ line of Roomba, I would look at other brands. Unless you are trying to go super cheap, I don't see a point in spending money on a random navigation robot anymore, LIDAR/vision is the way to go.

Watch this Vacuum Wars video: https://youtu.be/4Fed8durfb4

So I would look at the Roborock S5 $499, the Roborock S4 $399, or the Neato D4 $349.

Have read good things about the S5 by Roborock and its Lazer nav. Have had it in my Amazon cart and just trying to convene myself to drop the cash. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0792BWMV4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yAzfCbANFKAN6
