There’s nothing worse than coming home to find your home in chaos. From the seemingly never-ending spills from the kids to the clumps of cat hair in every nook and cranny you can think of – giving your house the regular cleansing it deserves isn’t always possible. Unless you’ve got Xiaomi’s collection of Smart Robot Vacuums at hand, which you can trust to get the job done right – even when you aren’t home.
Joining Xiaomi’s excellent range of Smart Robot Vacuums is the brand-new Robot Vacuum E5 which is designed to fit any budget, and the top-of-the-line Robot Vacuum X20+ – exemplifying the collection’s massive battery capacities, automatic recharging powers, intelligent path planning. They’ll even mop your floors, no matter what your budget.
But what makes Xiaomi’s gang of Smart Robot Vacuums so special is their ability to take charge of your home’s chores during the day while you’re out at work or work silently at night while everybody is asleep. That’s thanks to the Xiaomi Home App (Android, iOS) which allows you to control the Robot Vacuum at the tap of a button. Even better, Xiaomi’s Smart Vacuums can be activated with voice commands when hooked up to your home’s Amazon Alexa or Google Home Assistant.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5
The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5 is the perfect entry-level vacuum for any home. It’s the most affordable Robot Vacuum of the lot without ever compromising on those features that make Xiaomi’s collection of Smart Vacuums so great.
Using impressive intelligence technology to get around your home, the Robot Vacuum E5 will make quick work of your floors whether it’s vacuuming or mopping up. It features 2,000Pa suction power and thanks to its small frame, it can easily fit into those tight crevices your arms might not be able to.
Pet owners, listen up. Using the nozzle design underneath, the E5 will glide over tangled clumps of hair like it isn’t even there. Better yet, it’s equipped with multiple sensors to help the E5 detect and react to objects in its way or avoid tumbling down a flight of steps.
But the best thing about the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5? It’s low maintenance. It’ll clean for 110 minutes straight on a full charge thanks to the 2,600mAh battery. It’ll even return to its docking station when it detects low battery life and can charge itself up before it’s ready for another round of cleaning.
If you’re after a no-nonsense home-cleaning solution, look no further than the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5, available in black and white, coming in at a recommended retail price of only R2,499.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E10
One step up is the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E10. Unlike other vacuums in this price range, the E10 can easily clean the floors in one pass, without needing to constantly retrace its steps around your home. This ensures that it can clean more rooms in one single charge and does not waste valuable battery life.
Like the E5, the E10 features a 2,600mAh battery that can go for 110 minutes before needing to return to its charging station. It’ll avoid objects in its path just as well, making use of the same sensors found in the E5. But that’s where the differences end.
The Robot Vacuum E10 offers a superb 4,000Pa suction system that’s twice as powerful as the entry-level model. Its mopping is just as deserving of praise, which can be adjusted to control how much water the E10 can use, ensuring a squeaky clean floor no matter the spill.
You might think that voice and app control are the best features included in the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E10, but you’d be wrong. It’s rare to find a robot vacuum in this price range that can both vacuum and mop in one go, without needing to be told. It makes for a massive time-saver that won’t go unnoticed by customers.
Kick it up a notch with the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E10 can be yours for a recommended retail price of R3,799.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10
Right out of the gate, the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10 justifies its higher price tag. Where cheaper models use simpler technology to get around your house, the S10 employs ‘LDS laser navigation’ — a far more complicated system that offers a quicker and more in-depth map of your home stretching 8 metres and 260-degree detection no matter where it goes.
This results in the S10 getting caught in fewer tight spots around your home as it can more accurately predict where it can and cannot go. By connecting to the Xiaomi Home app, customers can see an accurate map of their home which makes scheduling cleaning while away from home that much easier.
It’s well-equipped, too. Inside is a 4,000Pa blower system that comes with impressive 4 suction modes – ranging from Silent mode for those nighttime cleans all the way up to Turbo, which can take on far bigger targets than your home’s average dust bunny. It’ll trek around its home using Y-shape and zig-zag cleaning routes leaving no spot uncleaned.
The biggest upgrade? With a 3,200mAh battery, the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10 reps an impressive two-hour battery life on a full charge. More time for cleaning. Now how could you say no to that?
With advanced home navigation that cannot be beaten in this price range, you can take home the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10 for the recommended retail price of R5,199.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10+
The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10+ is the ultimate mid-range robot vacuum. It offers a significant leap in terms of battery life with a massive 5,200mAh battery that promises to clean more than 200 square metres of your home in a singular pass. Impressive right?
You haven’t seen anything yet, then. The S10+ retains the 4,000Pa strong suction power and 4 adjustable modes found in other models but boosts its mopping capabilities with dual-pad pressure mopping, bringing an all-round cleaner floor that can tackle more difficult stains.
That mop can travel further now, too. Inside is a much larger water tank that can clean more than 150 square metres of your home before screaming for a refill. And if you’re worried about this more powerful mop splashing on your carpets, don’t. The S10+ also includes automatic carpet-edge identification.
And, like all the models in Xiaomi’s Robot Vacuum range, it can be controlled via voice commands or the Xiaomi Home app (Android, iOS) but the S10+ takes it up a notch with deeper customisation for how and when it can clean your home. For instance, it can be instructed to make a second pass throughout the same room.
You’ll be happy to know that the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10+ is available in stores and features an excellent recommended retail price of R8,499.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20+
Meet the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20+. Perhaps the X20+’s best feature is its Smart Cleaning Station which alleviates the problem of looking after the vacuum, allowing it to get on with its job throughout the day without little to no hassle.
It’ll do so faster, too. The X20+ can remove dust from within the model in less than 10 seconds and can hold up to 75 days’ worth of dust, allowing it to return to work even sooner than before. Coupled with the huge 4l water tank in the Station, the X20+ can mop for days before it needs a refill.
When it comes to mopping, the X20+ can’t be topped. It sees an immense upgrade in the form of high-speed rotational mopping functionality that’s better for those cracks between titles or stubborn hairs that just won’t come free.
Perfect for larger homes, the X20+’s 5,200 battery can cover more than 200 square metres of your home before it finds its way home to charge itself. It gets around using the excellent LDS laser navigation system and can map out larger homes and even create multi-floor maps of your home.
Despite being the new kid on the block, the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20+ is a top-of-the-line home solution that attracts all customers thanks to its reasonable pricing and is already available with a recommended retail price of R11,999.
Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10+
If you’re after the height of Xiaomi’s Robot Vacuum tech, you’re in the right place with the X Series. The Robot Vacuum X10+ specifically incorporates 4,000Pa suction power, a powerful LDS laser navigation system and exceptional mopping quality all into one package. But it can do so much more.
The most impressive of these is the accompanying Smart Cleaning Station, which can automate the cleaning process and boost efficiency to the maximum. It does so by self-emptying all the dirt it picks up in a single pass, refills its own water when it’s time to mop again and can even dry itself after a mopping session.
Throw in the S-Cross AI advanced 3D recognition and avoidance sensor that can automatically switch from vacuuming to mopping when it detects a carpet in its path. It may have a 2-hour-long battery life, but with all the time saved thanks to the Smart Cleaning Station, it’ll feel like longer.
With a recommended retail price of R17,499, the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10+ is the ultimate solution to all your home cleaning needs.
