There are actually two different versions of the Xiaomi robot vacuum. What I purchased here is the original version, Xiaomi also has a newer version with updated hardware and software.

There are several things to consider between the two versions. The original version was designed to cater mostly the Chinese buyers in China. While it works just fine outside of China, I had to set the server to China in the accompanying Xiaomi Home app; when I set it to North America, it would not connect.

The Version 2 of this vacuum is a bit more expensive (about $50 more), but it was designed to work in all Xiaomi servers around the world. As a result, it has better english support.

I won't provide a detailed review of the vacuum here, because you can find a number of them on Youtube. There are several videos comparing the Xiaomi version 1 and 2 vacuums, as well as comparing them against the much more expensive Dyson and Roomba vacuums.

I did however encounter an issue with the Xiaomi robot vacuum, I have a furniture that is just low enough for the vacuum to fit through underneath, but not always! and it gets stuck under it sometimes.
