Have a Nice Life with the Xiaomi Roborock S50

The Xiaomi Roborock S50 is the second version of the robot vacuum cleaner from the Chinese firm. It has one of the best data sheets on the market for this type of device thanks to a 5200 mAh battery that gives it a range of over 2 hours and a suction power of 2000 Pascal. It has a dust tank of 0.48 L and has the distinction of having a water tray and a mop that allow it to wash the floors.

Unpacking and Installation
A loading dock
A dust filter
A water tank
Two mini mops

Once you have assembled the elements (the dust filter, the water tank, and a mop), just turn on the Xiaomi mi vacuum once and open the Mi Home application to update and clean it. connect to the WiFi network. The loading dock has several sensors that allow the vacuum cleaner to be placed automatically on it after cleaning and has a protection to avoid attacking wooden floors after too long exposure between the floor and mop Xiaomi Roborock, not stupid!

How does it work?
The first time you start a cleaning, via the application or directly by pressing the central button on the vacuum cleaner, it will fully scan its environment to reproduce a 3D map of it, which will be available later on the application.

Despite the presence of sensors, the Xiaomi mi vacuum will voluntarily bump into the different walls and furniture to ensure that they are present and to try to suck the various dust present in these locations. As you can tell right away, the vacuum cleaner is very effective on large areas well cleared but will encounter much more difficult to go in different corners or in rooms with too much furniture, it is not a quick fix. However, for my part, it has greatly reduced the time I spend cleaning my floors since, apart from the corners of the furniture and some places inaccessible to him, he does an honorable job.

However, be careful with cables and objects on the ground, it will tend to all walk in your apartment (True Story). If a sensor is inaccessible, the device will pause its cleaning session and the application will push to indicate that it may be dirty. To use the mop, simply fill the water tray, then run a cleaning cycle and finally to recover and wash it at the end. It has an average autonomy of 2 hours, which is more than enough because it will reposition itself on its dock at the end of cleaning.

The Mi Home application
Xiaomi, through its Mi Home application, allows users to fully control the Roborock S50. You can start a complete cleaning cycle, ask the Xiaomi mi vacuum to go to a specific location via the 3D map or to clean a specific area.

Several modes of operation are available and can increase or reduce its power to reduce noise pollution (it remains a vacuum cleaner) or ask him to wash the floor only. A "Carpet" mode allows him to recognize the carpets on the ground and temporarily increase his power as soon as he begins to clean one.

The application also gives access to the history of cleaning cycles carried out, their durations and the distance traveled by the vacuum cleaner. Finally, a remote control mode allows you to control the vacuum cleaner manually by advancing it thanks to the commands present on the application.

The automation is also one of the highlights of the application: it allows you to set hours of passage and hours of deep sleep so that it does not disturb you at night and when you are present in your apartment.
