Appearance

My wife made a beautiful observation about this – she thought it seemed like something out of a Ghostbusters film. While a hardcore fan may struggle to see the connection, I can see what she means. This is light, this is a bit cylindrical, and most importantly, it is light and small. This means that not only can you use the many many attachments to pretty much do anything, you can do so while looking good.

I am particularly pleased about how light this is. Even my 2.5 year old can ‘help’ us with this, and trust me, this is a lot more pleasant than her fake vacuum cleaner!

Setting up the Roidmi X20

To begin with, the huge amount of accessories packed with this can seem a bit unnerving. However, once you get to grips with the fact that they are accessories, and this isn’t a complicated Lego project. Serves me right for tackling with this straight after I have dealt with my Christmas Lego!

Basically all you need to do is get the main Vacuum Cleaner bit out, and pop it on charge. You can pop the DC adapter in, or you can use the wall mount magnetic attachment for the charge.

The very first charge took around 2 hours, and that seems to be the typical rate for it to charge.

After that, just attach what you need to attach, and off you go.

Some bits are more complicated than others, for example the Wet Cleaning Accessory, but it all pretty much clicks into place.

The manual is there, just in case you need to know more.

The app

Oh yes, this comes with an app. But don’t worry, if you’re a luddite. There is no actual need to use the app if you don’t want to. There is a sign up process of sorts, but only so they can email you an access code. I still don’t see the reason for it, and I imagine it helps them track things.

It basically tells you about the battery life as well as the filter – two reasonably useful things.

It also gives you a couple of interesting stats such as how long you have been vacuuming and how much area you have covered. I am kind of surprised I have managed so much!

Cleaning power

Okay, so this isn’t exactly a cheap device. At near £400, you expect a good device. The Roidmi X20 is ready to impress you and make sure that you do not feel like you have wasted your money. The suction on this is pretty good to begin with. However, if like me, you like to just go straight in with the vacuuming and forget to read the manual, you may notice that there is an extra button on the vacuum that you have forgotten to look at. That button lets you up the power.

There are three power modes on this, and they go up exponentially in power. The highest mode is pretty good, and it sucks up pretty much anything.
