Thank you! It was pretty impressive picking up that mess! So easy to clean. 😁

Music to a KZfaqrs ears! Glad you liked the review, I really enjoy making them.

Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback. Yes, I do work hard to keep my floors clean, which is why I was so surprised how dirty the water was! I thought about putting honey down to test, but it wouldn't really be dry for the video and with Watson the pug on patrol, well food stuff doesn't stay on my floor long! I do suspect if something is lightly stuck to the floor, the spot cleaner would do well, but if it's really stuck as in you'd need a scrapper to get it up, then it probably would not pick that up. Hope that helps!

Thank you! 😊😊

Thank you Donavan!

@@TheNeurospicyMama welcome

Yes! Good eye! The beautiful painted rose on my shelf was from one of the lovely tutorials from your channel! I was so proud I wanted to display it. 😍😁😊

@@TheNeurospicyMama it’s brilliant. I love your review of this little robot. It’s super smart

Thank you! I know it's random from cooking, but I really enjoy doing review videos too!

@@TheNeurospicyMama yeah review videos are good

Check out my link and see if it's a good fit for your house. I'm so happy with my Smart Panda as we call her! Lol.

You're very welcome. I did show how you can set up no mop zones around area rugs or create other restricted zones. I did let the mop go on my rug to see how wet it got at one point off camera. It was slightly damp and nothing I'd worry about for the quality of my rug. The instructions were in Chinese for me, but I did try to use a translator. It said solution plus water without mentioning a specific one so I'm thinking solutions for any vacuum mop would work. I used Tineco brand since I own a Tineco wet dry mop too. I also ran the Smartmi with just water and was pleasantly surprised at how much dirt it still picked up. Hope this helps!

Im glad you liked the video! I'll pass on those suggestions although my communication with the company did seem to go through Google Translate. Super friendly and helpful but sometimes hard to understand. I'm not sure when it'll be available on Amazon, I keep checking too. 😊

Also, I like Ditty Panda! 😂🐼

@@TheNeurospicyMama Pheeew! I'm glad you like the name too 😊. Actually my name's is Andy. And family and friends call me Andy Pandy, and Panda time to time 🤣 I have a great Pyrenees dog with similar black and white spots, which I had to call Panda. Fist thing that came to mind at the Pet center 😊 ..Not bad for our first chat 😊. Anyway I understand about the communication through Google with seller. By the way, thanks to your info and enthusiasm. I just bought the item. My second Panda, or third? Considering 🤔😊 Again great job. Have a good night,day evening wherever you are. You get my drift 😏

It's a really cool vaccuum. 😁

Thank you. I'm not sure about where it'll ship to. I'll see what I can find out.

Hi! I have a tineco S3 review video up on the channel, so check it out. I really like both mops. I like the smart Mi because you can push a button and your floors get mostly clean. But with the tineco, since you are pushing it, you can move chairs, get in corners etc. But the convenience of the Smart Mi A1 is hard to beat. I think both do a really amazing job of actually cleaning the floors though. If you get the Smart Mi, you'll still have to occasionally go around and do edges and under chairs. If you get the Tineco you'll be physically mopping more often. I'm not familiar with the roborock dyad. I did have a roborock e4 mop at one point and did not like it, it just pushed dirt around. Hope this helps! 😊

@@TheNeurospicyMama Thank you for this lightning quick reply ! Quick parameters to illustrate my personal experience : - 2 floor city house. Living room + kitchen + parental room on same level 0 floor, with stone tile floor (no wood, just tiles with old school grout tile of 1cm large and between 2 to 5 mm deep). Second floor has kids room with vinyl floor. - 3 kids (6y/o, 7y/o, 15y/o) with the two youngest having ASD - A basset hound (our 4th "kid") aka "organic dual mopping system" (to be honest not the best mop ! BUT it cuddles much better than any robot) We have : a roomba 780 (old timer but still valiant and trustworthy), a roborock s5 max (not the best, but it was a great sales deal), a Tineco s3 and a Roborock Dyad (with which I have BIG issues, technically it is supposed to blow the S3 away BUT : I have it since June 2022 and it has already been returned twice and I am still waiting for it to be returned by the repair center ... Really cr*ppy material, not sturdy, not reliable, too much hassle to clean up/maintain, and Roborock has the lousiest support I have ever experienced, basically they could have NO support it would be the same, and at their price, it is scandalous, I urge people to avoid Roborock by all means, and especially in Europe where they do not even have a limited warranty) Ranting parenthesis put aside : I need to have clean floor for many reasons. My kids being always on the floor, sun orientation always highlighting our living room floor, and my personal OCD with dust/traces on the floor. I usually use the Roborock S5 "mopping" feature at night to refresh and have a clean floor when I wake up; but like all "mopping" robots, it just smears things with a microfiber. So this new robot with a real mopping system (and not just a "swiffer-like mop walker") is sort of a "FINALLY THEY DID IT" news :) Questions to ponder after using it for a while : Is this SmartMi A1 Vortex Wave a : - good cleaner ? With plain water ? With detergent ? (I use Bona detergent with my s3 and it works wonders on hard tile floor) - is it a pain to maintain/clean after usage ? (my S3 is cleaned everyday to get rid of fur/debris build up in the s3 head behind the mop roll) - does it have a good usage/charging ratio (can it clean 100 square meters every day , maybe even twice a day or is the charging too long for that ?) - how is support ? (because I have had an excellent experience with Tineco and with iRobot, while with Roborock it is hell and I honestly will never buy Roborock stuff in the future, and since Xiaomi and Roborock are the same group I was wondering if support (or lack of support) is the same)

@@CharlesGarrec so glad to help. I'll do my best to answer! The Smart Mi A1 Vortex Wave is a good cleaner. It does an amazing job with just water or cleaner added. I use the Tineco cleaner because that's what I had on hand. But I've also run it with just water and it's incredible how much dirt it picks up. Cleaning it is fairly easy, I'd say it's easier than the Tineco floor one S3. The container is easy to dump out. I know I mentioned how much floor it cleaned in one go in the video, I don't remember off the top of my head. If you used it in the morning it'd be ready to go again later that day, but I have not paid attention to exactly how long it takes to charge. I haven't had to use support, so I can't answer to that. The company sent me this unit for free to try and comment as I like, but I haven't had much contact with them other than that, but I didn't need to contact them either. Let me know if I can help further, I totally understand wanting all my questions answered and don't mind answering to the best of my ability.

No I haven't had any issues with the robot mop. Unfortunately, the company hasn't replied to my emails either.

I will contact them for sure, I'm sorry you are having a negative experience. Can you send me a DM on Instagram with your real name so I can give that the the company? I'm @dittdott on Instagram too.

@@TheNeurospicyMama Thanks much. Will do.

Hi, Just letting you know, added you to Instagram and sent you info. Thanks 💖😊

No, it's wet vac only.

That's really sad, I absolutely love mine. The product itself I can stand behind. My initial research into the company all looked good too. But I've reached out to them since this video and have not heard back from them.

This isn't a roborock... This is a smartmi.

@@TheNeurospicyMama In fact I see that it is a SMARTMI A1 .... Too slow and clumsy in the movements and the software is bad.

Thank you for your opinion. I was quite happy with it and the software was incredibly easy to use.

So sad, I love mine. I use it all the time. But I've heard some people have had problems getting it to arrive. 😔
