This 1. generation vacuum: bit.ly/2xQyBZ6
2. generation: bit.ly/2yaa6qa
3. generation Patreon: / marcoreps
In this video I'm showing my experiences with the first generation Xiaomi Mi vacuum robot. I have nothing to compare it to but I am very impressed with its performance and reliability. To find out what makes it work so well I'll disassemble it and look closely at the motors, battery, blower, sensors and mainboard.

So I have to say, I have the Xaomi m365 scooter and have serviced it countless times - it's so pleasant to see a company making multiple different products that are all so delightfully modular and repairable!

Just a few tips from someone who collects vacuum cleaners: 1. You can vacuum out the dirt bin with your corded vacuum (Your Numatic Charles for example) 2. Robot vacuums aren't supposed to replace your full sized vacuums but rather help with cleaning, in other words give you more time between every time you vacuum. 3. If your going to buy a robot vacuum choose one with lidar navigation. (Like the one in the video) the lidar allows them to know where they are positioned and to not go over the same spot 1000 times. Robot vacuums without lidar are blind and use a algorithm to move around thus not very efficient as they sometimes clean the same spot over and over again wasting time.

It is the second vacuum cleaner of this style I have bought and certainly the best🌼 Best of all is its efficiency, in less than an hour, thanks to the mapping of the area, it has cleaned my house 100%. The map you generate in the app is very useful to know which areas you have cleaned and how much you have left. The suction power is quite good, cleaning carpets very well.

Have you noticed the new update that adds functionality of the second generation to the first one? After the room is scanned you can manually draw squares on the map which it will clean (multiple times if needed). I can finally have it start cleaning without first moving my cats' water bowl to safety! Plus you can tap on any part of map to just have it drive there. Pretty neat :D

4:08 min - "with balancing" ?! After four years (the same robot) turned itself off in the middle of a clean up. Couldn't be turned on again.. Turn itself on and started charging in the dog 🐶.. I opened the battery and checked the 4S2P.. 3 x 4.20 Volt and one (cell 2) was at 3,2x Volt.. soldered an XT60 & Balancer cable to it and charged it with my Hobby Charger (ISDT) so over and under discharge seems to work but Balancing not ?! All the Cells go down the the same value (Volt) when discharged at 5 Amps.. So the cell seem to be okay / not the problem..

Hello, I only exchanged lds sensor modules, but the map is not drawn properly. The seller orders you to adjust the yellow line to the top, but that doesn't work either. Google says you have to do something called a calibration to draw it properly. Do you have any information about it? If I have such equipment, I'd like to buy it. I desperately need your advice. I'll be waiting.

Trying to avoid to be a part of Chinese Cloud and data collection services, I used the app just twice: producing some snapshots for "posing" and extracting the token for communication. Now I am using ioBroker to monitor and control the cleaner github.com/ioBroker/ioBroker.mihome-vacuum ; iobroker.net/ . The cleaner's internet access is blocked by the router. If you do not need the map, it works a treat.

*I run the m6 daily, and my floors look awesome🌼 **allabout.wiki/I-M-SDJQR02RR** I wet mop 2 days and dry sweep the rest of the days. When I first got it, I used the included disposable pads. I didn't like them--the dry pad has no depth so if it picks up a chunk of something, like dry cat food, then it pushes it around or drags it around the floor. The wet pad wasn't very absorbent so left streaks and wheel marks.*
