Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 (1164594)

The Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner from the Chinese brand is a balanced next-generation solution focusing on high suction power and enhanced wet cleaning in the mid-price segment. The main technical upgrade of this model is a powerful brushless motor providing a suction force of 20,000 Pa. This enables the device to effectively collect not just dust from hard surfaces but also to extract deeply embedded dirt and pet hair from carpet fibers.

To prevent hair tangling, the main brush features an optimized design directing debris straight into the dustbin. Wet cleaning in this model is realized through two rotating disc mops. They mimic manual floor washing under pressure, effectively removing dried stains and marks. Thanks to the FlexiArm technology, the side brush and one of the mops extend beyond the body's limits to fully cover "blind spots" in corners and along baseboards, ensuring edge cleaning with zero gaps.

The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 5 comes with a multifunctional station that handles the gadget's maintenance. It automatically empties the dustbin, refills the water tank, and performs hygienic mop washing with hot water (80 °C), ensuring grease removal and disinfection. After washing, hot air drying activates to prevent unpleasant odors. The navigation system is based on a retractable dToF radar (Smart Retractable Radar).

The laser tower can retract into the body, reducing the robot's height to 9.5 cm, allowing it to clean under low furniture where regular lidar vacuums get stuck. The robot not only avoids obstacles but also recognizes the type of flooring: when entering carpets, it lifts the mops by 15 mm to avoid leaving wet marks and boosts suction power to the maximum. The device is controlled via the Mi Home app, as well as through voice commands thanks to support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Key highlights that make this "Product" stand out: high suction power, effective on carpets, multifunctional station, advanced navigation.
