In October 2019, the Mijia brand, a subsidiary of Xiaomi, introduced the new Sweeping Robot 1C robot vacuum cleaner. The model has advanced functionality and excellent technical characteristics: there is a camera for navigation, a wet cleaning mode and increased suction power. The price is quite low when compared with other robots, and is only 12 thousand rubles. If you want to know even more about this new product, then read our review.
Equipment
The basic complete set of the robot vacuum cleaner includes:
- charging station;
- power cable;
- wet cleaning nozzle;
- cleaning brush;
- microfiber napkin;
- instructions for use.
The vacuum cleaner is controlled via a mobile application installed on a smartphone. Therefore, the package does not include a remote control and a motion limiter.
In the application, you can update the software for work, set up scheduled cleaning, select the optimal cleaning mode and much more. However, it is only available in English, which can be difficult.
Appearance
The robot vacuum cleaner has a stylish and laconic design that will not spoil the interior. The round case is made of white plastic with a glossy finish. On the upper part there is a double button: it can be used to send the vacuum cleaner to the charging station or start cleaning. Above the buttons is a black camera peephole. This element is a visual sensor and complements the laser navigation system.
On the side faces there are ventilation holes, contacts for charging, several sensors for orientation in space. On the bottom there are two rubberized wheels that overcome obstacles on the way up to 2 cm high. There is also a battery compartment, height difference sensors and other structural elements.
The dimensions of the device are 353 × 350 × 81.5 mm, and the weight is 3.6 kg. You can't call it compact.
Functionality
The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a quad-core CortexTM-A7 data processing chip, a Mali 400 dual-core image processor and intelligent VSLAM algorithm. Due to this, it is possible to determine the exact location of the robot and build an optimal cleaning route.
The vacuum cleaner has visual navigation that captures 30 thousand points per second. Therefore, during work, he quickly scans the room and creates accurate maps. The image sensor and 15 high-frequency sensors located on the body help it avoid collisions with objects. And the Omnivision camera allows you to track the harvest. The vacuum cleaner has a Japanese brushless NIDEC motor, which provides an increased suction power of 2500 Pa. The robot carries out cleaning with lateral and central turbo brushes. They direct all debris to the suction opening, through which it enters the 600 mm dust collector. Dry cleaning time is 90 minutes, and wet cleaning - 45-50 minutes.
The vacuum cleaner can work in three modes:
- quiet with little power;
- balanced, in which the vacuum cleaner operates at medium power;
- strong, at which a suction power of 2500 Pa is achieved, and the noise level is 72 dB.
The vacuum cleaner has an intelligent electronic water tank. It is designed for 200 ml. This is enough to bring order to a 100 m2 room2, since the liquid is consumed economically and is constantly monitored by the system. The system regulates the flow of liquid to the napkin, which does not leave streaks on the floor.
Advantages and disadvantages
Pros:
- building accurate maps;
- three operating modes;
- wet cleaning function;
- convenient control from a mobile application;
- high suction power;
- economical energy consumption.
Minuses:
- the application interface is in English.
Verdict
The new Xiaomi Mijia Sweeping Robot 1C vacuum cleaner is in many ways superior to its predecessor, the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S. Its main competitive advantage is wet cleaning. An intelligent electronic tank is provided for the liquid, which controls its quantity. The suction power of the novelty is 2500 Pa. On the previous model, this figure was 2000 Pa. The device has become lighter by 200 g.
The battery capacity has become smaller - 2400 mAh versus 5200 mAh. Because of this, the cleaning time was reduced to 90 minutes. In the previous model, this figure was 150 minutes.
There are no complaints about the quality of cleaning - the robot does an excellent job with the tasks, builds optimal routes and thoroughly cleans the floor even in the most inaccessible places.
