Seriously, if I wanted to buy a robot vacuum cleaner now, I'd be in big trouble. There are mountains of lasan from every manufacturer, and Xiaomi is no exception. Already every 2 months something new, something different, cheaper, more expensive... Besides Xiaomi, Roborock and Xiaowa also offer their products in this segment, so there are now up to 12 products to choose from. But how? That's what we're trying to help you find your way through the plethora of numbers and features.
Xiaomi Mi Vacuum-Mop Essential
The Essential is very similar to the Xiaowa vacuum cleaners, but of course most similar to the regular Vacuum-Mop. But your first question might be, why is it cheaper? What doesn't it do compared to the Sima? What can't it do? Well, that's the hardest one to answer, but I'll try. Let's look at what's different from the Smooth.
| Vacuum-Mop Essential | Vacuum mop |
| Manufacturer: miJia | Producer: Dreame |
| 2.200 Pa | 2.500 Pa |
| Tank: 420/200 ml | Tank: 600/200 ml |
| 25 W | 40 W |
| 80-90 minutes operation | 80-90 minutes operation |
| 1.7 cm threshold | 2 cm threshold |
| 2 brushes | 1 brush |
| Price: 69.990 Ft | Price: 89.990 Ft |
Then there's not much difference between the two, slightly better suction, slightly bigger port tank and power for the smooth one. You can get through higher thresholds, but there's only one brush in front, so you can only brush everything to the main brush from the right side. BUT the difference between the two is £20,000, a negligible difference for some, but significant for many. Well. We can't yet prove whether the price difference is really worth it, but we'll see in the tests. Speaking of tests. The video above is just the first part of my introduction to the vacuum cleaner, and next week you can look forward to the big test, in which it will be compared not with the aforementioned vacuum cleaner, but with the Roborock S5 MAX, to show the difference between it and a very expensive vacuum cleaner.

At first glance I'd say it's going to be a cool little thing. Based on the description and features, I'd say it's a vacuum for me. I'll pack everything up and do a full clean with the S5 MAX vacuum anyway and maybe every quarter I'll only use the features that its software and expensive sensors provide. Na! So put it to the test, let's see if my floors will be as clean with the Essential as they would be with a vacuum that costs twice as much. You can watch the demonstration video at the top of this article!!!
