Now, we will dig a bit deeper into the main features, functionality and design of the new Xiaomi Mijia 1S.
All Xiaomi’s smart vacuum cleaners look very similar — and this is the case not only for Xiaomi. Actually, most smart vacuum cleaners look alike. The Mijia 1S comes in the standard circular shape with minimal controls on its surface. On the Mijia 1S, you will only find the on/off button and the home button. The robot is made in classic clean white with a small red accent around the vacuum’s "tower" that houses the new and improved Laser Distance Sensor.
The Mijia 1S robot vacuum is quite compact measuring just 13.78 x 13.78 x 3.78 inches and weighs less than four kilos.
As we’ve mentioned earlier, the Mijia 1S comes with an improved Laser Distance Sensor (LDS) and enhanced navigation algorithms.This lets the vacuum create more accurate maps of the cleaning area as well as design and remember the shortest cleaning routes in your home. This saves the robot plenty of time as well as battery power as the 1S will not go over the same areas twice. According to Xiaomi, this has improved the robot’s cleaning efficiency by 13% compared to the previous model.
Plus, the 1S features additional sensors that help it "find its way" around the "complicated" areas at your home like corners, staircases, carpets, furniture, etc. These include (in addition to the LDS) the visual sensor, dust collector detector, bump sensor, e-compass, cliff sensor, edge sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, anti-drop sensor, odometer, fan speed sensor, etc.
You also get AI Image Recognition onboard, which allows the robot to recognize different rooms of your house — and this means you can customize the cleaning process even further by assigning more specific tasks.
Better navigation is supported by the new 4-core processor, which has also significantly contributed to the robot’s overall cleaning performance.
The Xiaomi Mijia 1S robot vacuum cleaner comes features 2000 Pa of suction power — and this makes it a real debris destroying machine. This is one of the most powerful smart robots on the market — and the Mijia 1S will be able to pick up even the smallest dust particles as well as pet hair. This will be a much appreciated feature by anyone suffering from allergies, chronic coughs, breathing problems, etc.
The smart robot comes with a decently sized dust collector — 0.42 liters. However, there is no mopping option, which is one of the most disappointing aspects of the 1S.
You can easily control the Mijia 1S via the dedicated Mijia app. Here, you will be able to assign cleaning areas and cleaning times, check the robot’s maps and routes, etc.
An interesting new option is the ability control the robot via Xiaomi AI speaker — the two devices need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You will then be able to simply give out voice commands to the Xiao Ai assistant saying something like "Xiao Ai, sweep the floor" or "Xiao Ai, return home to charge". There is an important catch, however. At this point, both devices only support the Chinese language — and while English is expected in the future, you will have to master some basic vacuum cleaner commands in Chinese if you want to use the speaker control option at this point.
The Mijia 1S comes with the 5200mAh battery, which is enough to allow the vacuum to efficiently clean an area of 250 square meters or 2.5 hours of cleaning. Once the vacuum’s charge is lower than 20%, it will automatically return to its charging dock and charge until the battery is at least 80% full. It will then go on with its cleaning route or stay in the dock if its cleaning routine has been completed. A nice new addition to the vacuum’s charging station is the adjustable cord that gives the whole setup a much cleaner minimalistic look.
The Xiaomi Mijia 1S smart vacuum cleaner can be available now on Gearbest with the price of $549.89, which is about $150 higher than the Mi Smart Robot Vacuum Cleaner. This is not bad for what the new improved version of the device has to offer. However, if you do want a smart robot capable of mopping, you might want to take a look at our comparison of the Xiaomi Mijia 1S and the Roborock T6 for a more informed decision.
