Xiaomi MiJia 1C Review: Powerful Robot Vacuum for an Affordable price

Күн бұрын

In this review, I tested the Xiaomi MiJia 1C (also known as Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Mop STYTJ01ZHM).
Update: the NiJia 1C now has virtual walls and zoned cleaning.
The Xiaomi MiJia 1C is a budget yet one of the strongest robot vacuums on the market and I do think it is a decent robot that might not have competitors in this price range.
I was surprised by how well it performs on carpet, it does handle my medium-pile carpet with ease and showed good results on a high-pile one too.
It has a good pickup ability, even was able to get sand on carpet which is rare for a robot vacuum especially with a price of around $240.
It is not the best in terms of mopping but it has electric water level control which even premium machines might not have sometimes. The mopping feature is a good option to have to keep your floors clean in between manual jobs and the MiJia is a truly good vacuum to do this task.
A resumption is also an option most budget robots don't have but the 1C does and it works like a champ.
I recommend this robot for anyone who wants a cleaner with a purposeful navigation pattern yet doesn't want to spend more on high-end camera or lidar-based machines. Also would be good if you have carpets and some hard floor area you would like to mop from time to time. It might not be good for big houses but is a great budget option for small and average homes.

So far so good with this vacuum. kzfaq.infoUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.

Not sure, but hope I'll have an opportunity to test the G1. I don't think it will beat the 1C. The G1 is a budget model, it uses gyroscope for navigation purposes which is very inaccurate navigation technology compared to the camera-based navigation in the 1C. Because of the limitations of the gyroscope technology, the G1 will not save the created map, it will never get zoned cleaning feature and no-go zones.

Thank you! You can place it in a particular room and the robot will map it out but you can't make it work in a certain room automatically as it does not save a map and doesn't really know where it should clean before it gets started. It follows a purposeful pattern which means it it not moving randomly and it also covers the whole area when cleaning but it can not clean a specific room on its own, only if you manually put it in the kitchen and close the door. Only some camera-guided and Lidar-based robots can do so.

Hi there. Normally it covers about 1 square meter per minute. On max mode, it runs for up to 40 minutes, on low power for about 110 minutes. My place is ~50 m2 of the cleaning area and it's hardly covering it all on one charge on the highest settings. As to the gap, the robot's height is 3.23 in / 8.2 cm so anything below those numbers is a no-no for it ;)

The robot can be paired with the Mi Home app through a wi-fi router. Unfortunately, you can't use the mobile internet to connect the robot.

Hi, the Mop P is slightly better at mopping but it also spends more time as it needs to go over the spot twice. If you need room cleaning, the Mop P would be a better choice. Navigation. Because of the Lidar the Mop P is better at navigation but you might not notice it if you never had a Lidar-guided robot. As a day-to-day experience, the 1C performs better in my opinion (not to mention mopping but it does a good job in this area too).

Hi, thank you! You can set no-go zones where your carpets are located. However, it's not very convenient, because you should delete these no-go zones before vacuuming each time. Hope Xiaomi will add a separate option "no-mop zones" that is active only when the mopping pad is attached. Some more expensive robot vacuums have it.

In my opinion, it does slightly better as a mop. You can also customize suction level and water output for each room with the Roborock. The Xiaomi is really good for small homes and homes with minimum clogged areas. Navigation of the Roborock is better too. It supports 4 maps, the 1C saves one only. The Xiaomi also lacks carpet boost so it doesn't increase suction on carpets. All in all the Xiaomi is an amazing robot but its small battery is its flaw.

The new firmware update has been released and brought a few new features to the Xiaomi MiJia 1C: map saving option, no-go zones, virtual walls, and zoned cleaning. At the moment, you can try the new firmware by switching your region in the Mi Home settings to the China mainland, updating the firmware to the latest version, activating "Experimental features" in the robot settings menu, and turning on the map saving option. Considering the new features, I would highly recommend buying this robot if you are looking for a budget, but still smart and powerful device. Edit: According to the Reddit post www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/flu6yi/xiaomi_mijia_1c_stuck_turning_on/?sort=new, some users experience an issue with activated experimental features. Basically, it breaks the device and it won't turn on anymore. Xiaomi temporary disabled the experimental features.

On the paper, the Xiaomi Mop Pro looks great and has almost the same features as the S5 Max, but in reality is much worse in terms of vacuuming, navigation, app and firmware updates. Have you considered the Roborock S4? Haven't tested the Eufy and Mijia 1S, so hard to say something. But considering that Eufy Robovac S11 uses a random navigation pattern, I would not recommend it for big houses, it will leave a lot of places uncleaned since it doesn't build a map and don't know where it is already cleaned.

Hi! Yes, I think the robot vacuum helps a lot with pet hair. You can run it daily without any effort from your side, you just need to empty the dustbin as it will be packed with pet hair after every usage and clean the roller brush once a week or so. The 1C handles pet hair pretty well, but I would not recommend it for houses bigger than 100sq.m. as it has a relatively small battery.

If the robot is moved to another floor, will the previously saved map be overwritten? Is it possible for the robot to start at scheduled time without being in the charger docking at start? That we can just put it in second floor (this floor does not have charger), and then it will start at scheduled time?

@SmartRobotReviews 4 жыл бұрын

The robot can store only one map so the previous map will be overwritten. Not sure about the scheduling without the charging dock, never tried it, and unfortunately can't check it right now.

OK, after using the machine for a year, it died. It was sent for repair which came back with a replacement battery. I was quite happy about that but it stopped working after 40 seconds. Fully charged the machine and it was the same. I sent it back and it was returned to me saying no problem with the unit. I took it back and it happened the same. I took a video to prove it, but it came back saying the video they copied was cut off after 15 secs. They tested the unit with a full run and it was OK. I collected it and it happened the same. I recorded it again and uploaded to Google Drive for them. Last night I was told to collect it. They gave me a brand new Roborock S6 Pure. They said it was a known problem that when it was in Turbo, it drained the battery. I said it was OK for the past year. They said it happened after using it for a while.

Compared with Lidar-based robot vacuums, the mapping system of the 1C is not as accurate and precise. However, it's still pretty good considering that it costs less than robot vacuums with Lidar. Keep in mind that it will not be able to clean your entire house on one charge on maximum suction mode. But on the normal suction mode, it should be enough to clean your 80 sq. m. house. I've used it with a dual-band Wi-Fi router, so no problems here.

@SmartRobotReviews 3 жыл бұрын

There are so many different chairs so hard to say for sure. It depends on the chair's design and space between the chair legs. It doesn't get stuck under my chairs. You can set no-go zones in the app in the places where your carpets are located, so no needs to barricade the carpets. It's not very convenient if you plan to use the mopping function quite often, because you should delete the no-go zones every time you switch from mopping to vacuuming and vice versa. But still better than barricading the carpets. The robot builds a map and knows where the dock is located so if the dock is placed in another room, it will find it within a minute or so.

Or get 2 units of 1C, one for upstairs and one for downstairs 😅 concerned abt the budget too. Or just get 1 unit of 1C and divide the cleaning times since the battery is small (clean downstairs first, charge then bring it upstairs for 2nd round). Appreciate your reply. Thanks 😊

For a double storey house I would suggest buying the Roborock S5 Max if you considering this model. It has a larger battery and saves multiple maps, works great in the dark, and more accurate in terms of navigation. You can move it manually on the second floor when you need to. The S5 Max is just better in every way and Roborock has better customer support too. So if the higher price of the Roborock isn't an issue for you, I would recommend the S5 Max.
