It would be the change of season, it will likely be the proverbial spring cleansing, it will likely be what it will likely be however the reality stays that this appears to be a very intense interval within the cleansing robotic sectorwith many new merchandise being offered inside a number of weeks of one another.
At Italian Tech now we have tried a number of (under the newest assessments), confirming that these gadgets are one of many fields the place innovation is most flourishing. Among the latter there’s the Robot Vacuum Cleaner X20 Plus of Xiaomi, not directly inheritor and evolution of a robotic that we had appreciated in 2023 (This): we used it for nearly a month, and under we inform you the way it went, what we favored and what we did not like.

Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20 Plus, the technical traits
Compared to the Robot Vacuum S12, the brand new X20 Plus provides the 2 issues that we highlighted as attainable shortcomings a yr in the past: a system for impediment detection and the charging base, washing garments and water substitute. We do not contemplate them important, nevertheless it’s considerable to search out them in a product that prices lower than 400 euros.
For the remaining, the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner X20 Plus (that is its very lengthy identify) is a conventional robotic vacuum cleaner and flooring cleaner: round in form, 9.5 centimeters excessive on the level the place the lidar turret is situated for navigation, it has a aspect brush and a central one for suction and two spherical, detachable cloths for laundry. The declared suction energy is 6 thousand Pa, worth basically and excellent on this value vary. Which, nevertheless, sadly interprets into one very marked noisewhich is probably the primary flaw of this robotic.
The charging and washing base is much less cumbersome than these of most opponents, as a result of at Xiaomi they have been good at making it taller than huge (58 and 34 centimeters respectively). Here too, nevertheless, there’s sadly a small draw back to the coin, as a result of because of this the clear water tank is deeper than regular and due to this fact it’s tough to fill it fully within the sink at residence. With the consequence that the refueling operation should be repeated typically.
The Robot Vacuum X20 Plus in on a regular basis life
The configuration of the robotic may be very easy. You at all times undergo the Xiaomi Home apppair the brand new gadget after which proceed with the mapping of the home or in any case of the surroundings by which the Vacuum separate or rename the rooms.
Subsequently, once more from the app, you can begin a suction and washing cycle or (which is the really helpful selection) schedule some throughout the week in line with your wants. Also due to the check, we established 3, at all times within the morning, and we have been happy with the consequence: the robotic cleans and washes fastidiously, strikes properly even on skinny carpets that different robots (just like the pur valido Ecovacs Deebot X2 Combowhich prices 4 instances as a lot) have discovered tough to climb over, manages to extricate itself even in sophisticated passages between the legs of tables, chairs and kitchen trolleys and has a actually efficient object detection system. We occurred to neglect about him and exit on a morning when he would have been cleansing, maybe leaving one thing on the ground in some room, and he virtually by no means requested us for assist. In quick, he by no means received caught.
Being away from the Robot Vacuum X20 Plus, which means not being there whereas it really works, is amongst different issues the one technique to escape what’s undoubtedly its weak level: it’s noisy. Very noisy. It’s noisy (much less) even when Silent Mode is chosen from the app. This is the factor we favored least, along with some occasional forgetfulness concerning the rooms to be cleaned: for no obvious cause, he repeatedly neglected the lavatory and likewise the second bed room of the house. During the check we additionally observed a few issues that are maybe restricted solely to our instance, however which we nonetheless really feel it’s appropriate to level out: the robotic let go of some water after the primary wash of garments, as if he have been incontinent; the decrease space of the bottom, the place the cleansing of the garments is finished, remained very, very soiled all through the check. On the Xiaomi web site it’s understood that it may be washed by hand and even by means of perform Self-cleaning stationwhich nevertheless we didn’t discover within the app.
The new Xiaomi Robot Vacuum Cleaner X20 Plus it prices 399.99 eurosdoes what it guarantees properly however in our opinion it has its fiercest rival at residence: contemplating what has been written to this point, if you need a easy robotic for cleansing with out spending an excessive amount of, it’s higher to give attention to the Robot Vacuum S12, which amongst different issues on this second it prices lower than 200 euros. You quit the charging base and object detection, however you additionally spend half as a lot.
