Xiaomi - S20+

Currently using S10+ Also bought the s20 when it was on sale

My S20 will just ignore barriers like this.

Also from Brazil, I just got the Xiaomi S20+ (without warranty, from paraguay) and I am loving it, paid R$ 2k for it. My apartment is also polished porcelain and about 100 m², the effective cleaning area is about 67m². It is very good at picking up hair and mopping. About object avoidance I cant pass judgment yet because so far I have always removed everything from the floor to make the cleaning as thorough as possible. but it is very good at avoiding furniture's legs. Regarding the warranty, I didnt worry much, parts supply on aliexpress is very good, and I am very used to fixing my own electronics. But even so, specialized repair shops are popping up everywhere (here in Brazil).

Got the xiaomi s20+ recently and have been very satisfied. My apartment is the ideal condition for ir though, polished porcelain tiles throughout and a single small carpet in the bedroom. It vacuums better then my regular vacuum and the mop is enough to get rid of cooking droplets and coffee stains in the kitchen. It covers 67 m² vacuuming before mopping (the slowest process) within 2 hours, and with about half battery left.

Hi all, I wanted to provide a quick review of my Xiaomi S20+, I picked this thing up new for CHF 240 or around USD 290. Prior to purchasing I was torn between this standalone S20+ and the X20+ which comes with a full docking station, my issue was that I really didn't want an enormous knee height unit taking up space. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment which has wooden floor in the bedroom and tiles everywhere else. Initially I let it go around mapping my rooms after moving all of the furniture out of the way, then I set it off on it's first clean. I've just moved into this place and I guess that the landlord hadn't cleaned under the bed, the amount of dirt and dust it found under there was actually incredible. I guess I did what everyone does when they get a robot vacuum and threw a bunch of junk on the floor and deliberately spilled some coffee. It immediately did an excellent job of vacuuming but I found it didn't quite get the coffee up, this was solved by letting it add more water to the mop heads. After a week of playing around I not have it set up so it vacuums 4 days a week and does a vacuum then mop the other 3, this is a nice balance as it means you don't have to refill the water often and can get away with cleaning the mop heads once a week. It hasn't had any issues navigating and seems to have good obstacle detection, it did get a little stuck on my weighing scales so I just remember to keep them somewhere more sensible. It's been nice to come home to a vacuumed apartment, walking around barefooted on a tiled floor you can feel anything that shouldn't be there, now it's just nice to walk around and not wonder if you just stepped in toast crumbs. Anyway, super affordable and great for little places, refillable tank so it doesn't have to return to a station often when mopping. I suspect i'll still have to get in and properly vacuum and mop corners and edges, but this will be great for maintaining things mid-week while I can't be bothered.

Xiaomi S20+ is great. Reliable and has power to handle all types of floor.

The S20+ will mop the best. Easily compatible with dreame and Xiaomi consumables. Roborock mops should also fit the S20+.

The Xiaomi S20+ (€299) will be able to vacuum and mop well but will have the same issue of trying to eat everything. Sadly there’s no autoempty dock. There’s also the X20 Pro (€539) which has a base station which will autoempty the dustbin, refill the water’s internal water tank, dampen, wash, and dry the mops. Obstacle avoidance performance is generally the same. Most robots in your price range will use only structured light for obstacle avoidance and this is generally worse than RGB camera enabled robots (software is the main factor deciding if obstacle avoidance is good for RGB enabled robots)

Xiaomi S10+ and S20+

I had a S10+ and it eventually broke down because of the mop water it was inhaling when vacuuming. It cannot mop only or vacuum first before mopping. Other users’ experiences matched my experience. I’d recommend the S20+ since it can vacuum first before mopping or just mop.

For budget models the s20+’s spinning mops will be better than a passive mop.

S20+ and the l10s ultra gen 2 are miles apart. I’d get the l10s ultra gen 2 since it’s at the same price. Same if you meant the X20+

these two will be good budget options!!

You’d just have to remove the hair from ends of rollers from the q8 max+ every once in a while :)

Xiaomi is a great option if you want it to actually mop. You’d just have to dampen the mops before it mops and wash the mops after it finishes mopping. It’s best to run it to vacuum first then mop.

All will need you to tidy up the floor from cables, socks, and other smaller objects to avoid it from getting stuck. All three should be alright for mapping and navigation.

The S20+ is going to be good but you’ll need to tidy up after wires as it only has structured light for obstacle avoidance, which is common for most budget robot vacuums.

Obstacle avoidance and navigation will basically be the same. Both use lidar and structured light. I’d go for the S20 for a vacuum focused robot. Y shaped cleaning patterns are pretty good at removing dust from floor crevices which is something the S40C cannot do.

Soy de Argentina también y me encontraba exactamente en la misma situación. A pesar de que la postventa de Xiaomi en Argentina es inexistente, todos lis productos de la marca que tuve y tengo me han dado muy buenos resultados. Yo me compré la s20+ hace una semana y estoy muy conforme con los resultados. Mi casa es de 110 m2 , tengo un perro que pierde mucho pelo y viene cumpliendo muy bien. Las mopas giratorias limpian incluso algunas manchas secas y borra completamente todas las marcas de pisadas con patas húmedas y sucias del perro. El primer mapeo fue excelente. La batería nunca llegó a la mitad, incluso luego de primero barrer/aspirar toda la casa y luego pasar las mopas en toda la casa en aprox hora y media. Ya me hice un pedido de consumibles por Aliexpres por 28 dolares. Si necesitás saber algo mas, avisame

Xiaomi s20+, with rotating mops

Both are good on vacuum pickup, Roborock S8 slightly better especially on carpet. Both pick up pet hair fairly well, but the Xiaomi tends to have more of it stuck on the brush making the maintenance more laborious compared to the Roborock. Both are similar in terms of navigation and mopping effectiveness despite the two different ways (vibration vs rotatory mopping). However, the Roborock mop only lifts by 5mm, the Xiaomi one by 7mm (for when the robot has to go over the carpet). Both have similar performances in obstacles avoidance, the Xiaomi with a line laser, the Roborock with a 3D dots projector, but Roborock has a slight edge on recognition of small objects (from the front) and Xiaomi on the following *along* small objects (from the side). Both have original consumables at very accessible prices from AliExpress. Roborock S8 is a bit more reliable. The Roborock S8 is more feature-rich, even though the Xiaomi app of the S20+ is handy if you already have other Xiaomi products. Bear in mind you'll have to empty the dust bin very often as neither of them has a self-emptying station. Dust bin and water tank sizes are similar (S8 400ml/300ml, S20+ 450ml/290ml). Overall, the Roborock S8 is a better designed and built product (by far in some areas, and not that much different in others). Not sure where you're based, but the main selling point of the Xiaomi S20+ in Europe is its price. At £179 it's much much cheaper than the Roborock S8 and it's the best robot vacuum available *at that price* with no exceptions. If you can/want to spend more, Roborock S8 is the better choice.

I just bought the Xiaomi s20+ without self emptying and after three days the bin was quite full even though my 1C vacuumed daily. I suspect it could be the higher vacuum power on the s20+. Makes think the self emptying might have been a good idea but it would have gotten clogged due to our amount of hair. In Malaysia, the S40C launched and I'm upset since I bought the s20+ last week. 🫤

I think the Xiaomi s20 without the + is sufficient if you don't need to mop. I got the s20+ with the rotary mops that I haven't used yet and the maps on 1c was good enough so the s20 will be sufficient. Plus it is compact sized. My s20+ battery only uses 1 bar to cover a large amount of space. So I think the s20 is sufficient. Get the s20.

This is why I am hesitating on the roborock q10 pf in my country. It is the q10 x5 in US. Will the spare parts be found in 3 years? Only if sales are good enough. The spare parts if too different may not be found so easily. Like the Dreame D20 (only with charging dock) in my country that is not the Dreame D20 Ultra in any way. And so far I have been unable to find the spare parts or know its equivalent elsewhere. For my Xiaomi 1C, I have managed to find parts to it. I have sent it in to get the wheels switched out under warranty, I have changed the filters and brushes at economical prices and I have switched out the batteries twice so far. The new ones are larger capacity but cause the robot vac to be a bit haywire. Perhaps I need to service the front wheel and clean the sensors? Either way, I am undecided between the roborock q10 PF and Xiaomi S20 or S20+. The S20 seems to fit my needs as a basic vacuum and is more compact allowing it to get into slightly tight areas but feels like just a little upgrade over my 1C that still works albeit haywire sometimes. It gets fixated on areas some times. I have put furniture risers ro accommodate the LiDar puck as that was the only hindrance on the new vacuums.

Not a Roborock class....but Xiaomi S20+ (plus) is amazing for a good price.( Xiaomi use Roborock and Dreamed technology's cause associated). A little slow charge maps but works very well . If I could ill buy it with charge and clean station but in Argentina these are very expensive. I bought mine like 6 months ago and I'm very happy

I think if your main objective is just vacuuming, buying X20 is kind of overkill. The budget Xiaomi S20+ is decent and it has a spinning mop and a structured light obstacle avoidance, but it lacks a self-empty dock. Therefore, Q8 Max+ is a better choice in this regard. It is also equipped with a structured light obstacle avoidance and a dual contra-rotating roller that should give better carpet cleaning than a single brush.
