Good to know

• Can be controlled with the help of the voice assistant “Alice”.
• If it is not possible to connect the Xiaomi vacuum cleaner to Wi-Fi, the document describes the tips below how to solve this problem.

What applications can be used for synchronization

An officially recommended application for remote control of the robot permollis is Mi Home. The program is available for both iOS and Android.

The most popular among them today are:

Mi Home

The key difference of this application is compatibility with a wide range of technology from Xiaomi. Through it, you can control not only a robot, but also a router, Wi-Fi-asylum, webcams, “smart” rosettes and lamps, fan, electronic moisturizers and even a TV.

The program is a kind of “hub” for setting up, updating the entire manufacturer’s technique that supports synchronization with the phone. And this is at the same time her drawback.

In internal memory, it takes about 500 megabytes, another 150 megabytes in RAM, which theoretically reduces the autonomous time of the phone. And in this application, the user shows advertising from Xiaomi, it is impossible to disable it with regular means.

Roborock

It is a branded application for robots-blankets of the Roborock line. But you can also control them through Mi Home too.

Roborock key advantages:

• Takes an order of magnitude less space in the internal memory of the smartphone;
• The functionality is optimized specifically for the remote control of the Robot and the Robot, there are additional functions that are not supported even in Mi Home (for example, notifications of the error of cleaning in those models that do not initially support this);
• Frequent updates.

Users themselves also note that Roborock utility works more stably than Mi Home. Less often there are malfunctions in connecting with a device, a more intuitively understandable integration of the program, in which even an inexperienced user of the smartphone will figure out.

Flolevac

A third-party program for managing robot spools, including Xiaomi. Has the most simplified integration, but with access to all functions.

There is no advertising, takes little space in the phone memory. Support for the Russian language is also provided.

The only restriction is that you cannot update the built.In robot firmware. Although developers promise to realize this function in the near future.

Caring for a robot-permit that will extend its service life

Gradually, the vacuum cleaner is clogged with hair, wool and dirt, so it needs regular cleaning.

• The container and filter is recommended to clean every time after cleaning.
• Wash the filter in the water should not be: it must be shaken out or blow.
• The central brush needs weekly cleaning. Side brushes, wheels and sensors are enough to clean once a month.

Of course, all these recommendations are arbitrary, so just try not to start the condition of the robot permissor, periodically paying attention to its cleaning.

Filters and brushes are easily removed for cleaning and washing.

The first cleaning

So that the robot can correctly build a map of your home, you need to clean the first cleaning. Before that, let me tell you a few recommendations. Almost all manufacturers recommend doing the first. Dry cleaning. If your model is equipped with a water tank, then pull it out.

To do this, click on the central button, and pull the block over yourself.

After that, install the robot on the dock station. Before we start, I advise you to remove all unnecessary things from the floor, including wires, clothes, as well as thin things that a robot can call on. For more thorough cleaning, you can also remove chairs and wrap the curtains. After that, click on the “power” button on the device itself, or in the application by the “Cleaning” button. The robot will begin its first dry cleaning.

As soon as the first cleaning ends, in the application you will see a full.Fledged map of your room. The exact trajectory of the robot will also be displayed there.

Now let’s check how he copes with wet cleaning. Open the valve on the tank and fill it with running water.

ATTENTION! Many manufacturers prohibit the use of some chemical cleaners, so they use just ordinary tap water.

Install the bracket with a rag on the tank with water. Next, install this whole block back on the robot. And turn on another cleaning.

Pros, cons and my personal opinion

I was quite skeptical about the robot initially, but my friends asked me to choose a good robot vacuum cleaner. When I began to study this topic, I came across a fairly large scatter in price. Although in appearance and pictures from the Internet, they are all about the same.

After reading the reviews on the Internet, as well as after watching a couple of tops, I came to the conclusion that at the moment the best choice, in terms of price-quality ratio, is a series of Roborock. Firstly, they go immediately with a large number of sensors. Secondly, it is made of high-quality materials, which should in theory extend the life of a robot. Thirdly, there were a lot of positive reviews about the correct model of the behavior of the robot in any stressful situations. Fourthly, he copes with both the usual flooring and the carpets.

Why Roborock S6 Maxv? In fact, I still had a thought about the new model S7. It is cheaper. But acquaintances decided to take MAXV precisely. The maxv prefix means an additional module with cameras and AI function recognition function. They have 5 dogs and one cat at home, and one of the dogs (or even the cat) can at any time apply straight in the center of the room. Therefore, it was decided to take a more advanced and smart model.

When testing the robot, I personally realized that it was just necessary to take the S7 model. Roborock S7 has a mobile block with a rag and rubs the floor much better than the S6 model. This camera only additionally allows you to determine some things and obstacles, but for an ordinary user it is not needed.

Roborock S6 Maxv is worth taking only if your animal can go to the tray, and you install cleaning by the timer when you are not at home. If you manually run the robot when you are in an apartment or at home, it is better to take the seventh version.

In any case, the S6 MaxV model turned out to be extremely good, except for the two minuses that I wrote above. It vacuums at 5 out of 5, and is removed perfectly (for the robot). True and it costs quite expensive. If your budget is running out, then you can take the Roborock S5 Max model, it only differs slightly in functionality from the S6, and there are no cameras on it.

Who can I advise him? In fact, this robot is only in the same cases when at home there is an impatient pet. Otherwise, in my opinion, it is better to take the S7 model, or if there is a problem with the budget, you can take S5 Max. And do not take the black color. It is too flaunt.
