In 2020, Xiaomi continues to release vacuum cleaners and has already presented several interesting new products. The company is also engaged in the development of manual, vertical and robotic vacuum cleaners. They have several interesting models of vacuum cleaners, the demand for which is in no hurry to fall. Why are they still popular and which one is the best? I studied dozens of expert reviews and hundreds of user reviews to understand whether it is worth buying a handheld or upright vacuum cleaner in 2020, or is it better to immediately take a robot vacuum cleaner that can both vacuum and wash floors.
TOP 3 Xiaomi Handheld Vacuum Cleaner
Xiaomi CleanFly Portable
The most compact (298x70x70) wireless device for local cleaning of soft and hard surfaces. It is used to clean the car interior, but is also suitable for cleaning hard-to-reach places in the apartment - upholstered furniture, the space between it and the wall, soft toys.

- price;
- compactness;
- autonomy;
- fast charging;
- power;
- 2 nozzles included;
- LED lights.
Minuses:
- small container for collecting waste;
- no cover for storing nozzles;
- a valve to prevent debris from falling out may allow a large one to pass through; heavy debris after shutdown.
An excellent workaholic for just . Suitable for cleaning a car, upholstered furniture, and other hard-to-reach places for an ordinary vacuum cleaner in an apartment. Charges in just 90 minutes, then ready to work for 13 minutes. A full-fledged vacuum cleaner cannot replace. But no handheld vacuum cleaner is able to do this. Xiaomi SWDK KC101 and Xiaomi Jimmy JV11, due to a different design, can already be used for cleaning carpets, but it is inconvenient to do this, and the efficiency of such cleaning is low.
Xiaomi SWDK KC101
It differs radically from Xiaomi CleanFly Portable in design. It has a brush comparable in size to conventional vacuum cleaners, a dust collector of 0.4 l, due to which the dimensions of the vacuum cleaner are significantly increased - 170 × 270 × 324 mm. Weight - 1.3 kg. There is a base for storing and charging the device. The design and ergonomics are thought out to the smallest detail, high-quality white plastic, smooth contour lines, a convenient handle and the removal of the dust container with the touch of a button. Power - 350 W. The 2200 mAh battery lasts for 25 minutes. It will take about 180 minutes to charge, in the first 25 minutes the battery capacity will be replenished by half. The air in the apartment will remain fresh thanks to the three steps of cleaning the outgoing air. In addition to high-quality cleaning of even stubborn dirt, this vacuum cleaner disinfects with a built-in ultraviolet lamp.It is harmless to humans, it turns off automatically when the vacuum cleaner moves away from the surface, so it does not spend a lot of extra energy. The service life of an ultraviolet lamp is up to 10 thousand hours, then it can be easily changed to a new one. Worth Xiaomi SWDK KC101 .
Pros:
- price;
- design;
- power;
- autonomy;
- Ease of controls;
- low noise level;
- ultraviolet lamp;
- dust collector volume - 0.4 l;
- treatment of textile surfaces from parasites;
- easy cleaning of the dust container and filters after use;
- Ease of controls.
Minuses:
- easily soiled (white);
- not intended for cleaning hard surfaces;
- in the kit there is no adapter for Euro plug;
- consumables can only be ordered from China.
Xiaomi SWDK KC101 is suitable for local cleaning and disinfection of soft surfaces (sofas, armchairs, blankets, small light carpets), but is unsuitable for cleaning hard surfaces. The cheaper Xiaomi CleanFly Portable also will not clean the whole apartment: it will not have enough power and charge, although when cleaning hard surfaces and hard-to-reach places it will show itself better due to its compactness, the ability to snuggle up to any surface. The Xiaomi SWDK has the advantage of an ultraviolet lamp for surface disinfection. In this case, the decision to buy the first or the second should be made taking into account the purposes for which the equipment is being purchased.
Xiaomi Jimmy JV11
Unlike the other two models, the rating depends entirely on the outlet and power supply of your apartment. The length of the power cord is 5 meters - enough for cleaning a middle room. The vacuum cleaner is equipped with a turbo brush with an antistatic coating and an ultraviolet lamp for disinfecting the surfaces to be cleaned. There is a multi-level exhaust air purification system. Control - simple, only 2 buttons - on / off and disconnection of the container. Power - 350 watts. Xiaomi style design. Made of white plastic. Ergonomics as thought out. Price - .
Pros:
- power;
- compactness;
- Ease of controls;
- easy cleaning of the dust container;
- Ultraviolet lamp;
- long cord.
Minuses:
- no adapter for euro plug;
- no consumables on sale (HEPA filter);
- instruction in Chinese;
- noisy.
Xiaomi Jimmy JV11, like SWDK KC101, is good for cleaning soft surfaces and ineffective for hard ones. The fact that it operates from the mains is rather a plus - it is more reliable, since any battery will eventually require replacement + the operating time in this case is limited by the electricity bill, for general cleaning it is what you need. You can vacuum up upholstered furniture, small carpets with fine pile, without thinking about recharging the device. But if you only vacuum the furniture, you can save and purchase Xiaomi SWDK KC101, and for full-fledged cleaning I advise you to get a vertical vacuum cleaner, fortunately, Xiaomi has worthy offers in this segment as well.
TOP 3 Xiaomi vertical vacuum cleaners
Xiaomi Jimmy JV51
Xiaomi Jimmy JV51 is one of the most powerful cordless vacuum cleaners on the market with 2500mAh battery. It allows the device to work autonomously for up to 45 minutes. During this time, you can remove an apartment from several rooms. After cleaning, regardless of its duration, it is better to send the vacuum cleaner to charge, since it takes a long time (300 minutes). If you purchase a second battery, you can increase the cleaning time to at least 1.5 hours and work with one battery while the second is charging (the battery for this vacuum cleaner is removable). The delivery set includes nozzles: for the floor, against mites, small, crevice. The suction power is 115 watts, there are 2 modes of operation - normal and turbo. The volume of the dust collector is 0.5 liters. Price - .

- turbo mode is very noisy;
- difficult to deal with large debris.
Xiaomi Jimmy JV51 is a good wireless vacuum cleaner for daily easy cleaning of the apartment, it will not be able to replace a full-fledged vacuum cleaner, but to justify this model, I note that even more expensive hand-held vacuum cleaners cannot. Therefore, considering the price, I recommend Xiaomi Jimmy JV51 for purchase.
Xiaomi Jimmy JV53
Another Chinese novelty. Compared to its predecessor, Jimmy JV51 lost 1.7 kg in weight and became as light as the flagship Dreame V9. This was facilitated by the installation of a brushless motor. Battery capacity 2,500 mAh - up to 45 minutes in standard operation mode, 8 minutes in turbo mode. It will take about 4-5 hours to charge. The battery is removable, you can buy a second one and increase the operating time up to 1.5 hours. Battery cost about .

Vacuum cleaner sales at the very start: perhaps users will add more to the list of cons. But now we can say that it will be one of the best cordless vacuum cleaners, which will bypass even the Dreame V9, although it is cheaper.
The Xiaomi Jimmy JV53 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner can be bought in online stores.
Xiaomi Dreame V9
The company's flagship upright vacuum cleaner released this year. The heart of the model is the SPACE 3.0 brushless motor. It turns on instantly, and after 3 seconds it reaches the design capacity - 10 thousand revolutions, with a maximum of 100 thousand. Power supply - from a battery with a capacity of 2500 mAh. Operating time - up to 60 minutes. In the most powerful mode - 8 minutes. Full charge time is 4 hours. Suction power - 120 watts. The set includes the following nozzles: crevice, dust, mini-turbo brush, electric turbo brush. There is a wall mount for installing a vacuum cleaner. Price - .

- low noise.
Minuses:
- easily soiled case;
- non-removable dust collector;
- no euro plug;

- poorly copes with large garbage;
- Power button must be constantly held.
The Dreame V9 model does not have the most convenient design, the container cannot be removed, there are minor flaws in the brush: if you vacuum on yourself, it does not pick up large debris. These are significant disadvantages for a vacuum cleaner for ... I recommend saving and buying the proven Xiaomi Jimmy JV51 or waiting for the Chinese to finalize the Dreame V9.
Xiaomi Roidmi F8
One of the brand's most recognizable vacuum cleaners. Winner of the iF Design Award 2018 and the Red Dot Design Award 2018. Like the Dreame V9, it has a brushless motor, suction power up to 115 W, and copes with ease on all surfaces. Of the differences, it should be noted a convenient wall mount on a special magnet, a four-stage exhaust air filtration system, the ability to control from a smartphone, and backlight on the main nozzle. I don't know how much control from a smartphone is relevant for an upright vacuum cleaner, which will not be able to clean without a person's presence, but there is such an option. Price - .
Pros:
- mobility;
- design;
- modular design;
- removable container for large dust volumes;
- build quality;
- LED lighting on the main brush;
- magnetic wall mount.
Minuses:
- easily soiled case;
- no euro plug;
- non-removable battery;
- proprietary connector for charging the device;
- the turbine is blown out in such a way that if you use short nozzles, the outgoing air flow blows all the debris on the sides;
- the magnet for attaching the vacuum cleaner is unreliable: it cannot sustain its weight, you can only elbow it.
Xiaomi Roidmi F8 is one of the brand's most popular vacuum cleaners. In all respects, it is similar to Xiaomi Dreame V9, the differences boil down to a richer configuration (brushes and nozzles) and the ability to control and monitor the condition of the vacuum cleaner using a mobile application. Is it worth the overpayment in , you decide. In this case, you can save as much as possible and buy a budget Xiaomi Jimmy JV51: it copes with the main task no less qualitatively.
TOP 4 Xiaomi robotic vacuum cleaners
Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner
An inexpensive white robotic vacuum cleaner of a round shape, 10 cm high and 35 cm in diameter. It has a built-in laser rangefinder, a distance sensor, a dust sensor, a compass, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a fan speed sensor. All this is controlled by 3 processors. The battery with a capacity of 5200 mAh is responsible for the autonomy of work. Thanks to this technical stuffing, the vacuum cleaner is completely independent. Working time - up to 2.5 hours: this is enough to clean an apartment of 250m22... Suction power - 1280 Pa. Dust collector - 0.4 kg. Cleaning takes place first along the walls, and then zigzag throughout the room. You just have to turn on the device with a button on the case or using an application on your smartphone.

At the end of the work, the vacuum cleaner itself returns to the docking station for recharging. Low battery level warns with a sound signal. Price - .

The number of deficiencies found can scare a potential buyer, but I do not consider them critical. Almost all robotic vacuum cleaners on the market have such shortcomings. I think that as technology develops, we will see something fundamentally new, but for now I can say that the Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner model is one of the best offers on the market in terms of price-quality ratio. It cleans well all surfaces except long-pile carpets - problems may arise there. But the more expensive, upgraded Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S has similar difficulties.
Xiaomi Viomi Cleaning Robot
Externally differs from Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner in black. The dimensions are identical. Technically distinguished by its wet cleaning function. To use it, you need to change the waste container to the wet cleaning container (included), after filling it with water. The volume of both containers is 0.56 liters, which is a huge advantage of this model. Viomi Cleaning robot in comparison with Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner boasts increased performance. With a battery capacity of 3,200mAh, it can work up to 180 minutes and remove 300m during this time2... For the rest, he looks like a competitor: he will return to the docking station at a low battery level, he will execute the commands sent from the application on the smartphone. Price - .
Pros:
- Beautiful design;
- there is wet cleaning;
- mobility;
- increased productivity;
- low noise level;

- no euro plug;
- there is no instruction in Russian;
- there is no replaceable HEPA filter.
This black "handsome" is able to carry out dry and wet cleaning in your home. It does this efficiently, quickly, definitely worth the money.If you compare it with the model of Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner, then it is more profitable due to its high performance, the presence of wet cleaning, so it is better to overpay if possible .
Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S
This is the upgraded Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner introduced in the spring. of the year. The design is licked from the old model, components also remained the same. A new energy-efficient Cortex a35 processor appeared, so the speed of work increased. A new sensor has appeared - this is a camera located on top near the main function button. The task is to take photographs of doorways, zoning the room into rooms and identifying areas where cleaning is not needed. Their user can mark in the application. Previously, this function was performed by special magnetic tapes and a virtual wall, which had to be purchased separately. The vacuum cleaner also got a voice control function. But for now, this can only be done in Chinese. The same language problem remained with the software for controlling from a smartphone: the maximum that can be done is to choose English. Price - .
Pros:
- the possibility of cleaning in several rooms;
- improved navigation in space;
- advanced functionality of the mobile application;
- flexible settings for the schedule and route of cleaning;
- high suction power;
- speed of work;
- voice control.
Minuses:
- price;
- small dust bag;
- equipment;
- voice control in Chinese only;
- no instructions in Russian;
- no euro plug.
Significant improvements compared to the Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner model I did not find. The best spatial orientation promised by the manufacturer is difficult to evaluate in practice, since the first robot from Xiaomi coped well with this task. The increased performance of the new processor is consumed by the increased suction power: the vacuum cleaner removes all the same 250m2 in 150 minutes. Voice control is irrelevant for our country. The only worthy plus is the advanced functionality of the mobile application: now you can plan cleaning in more detail, limit its area, no longer have to spend money on magnetic tape or a virtual wall. But all this is hardly worth the overpayment in . I recommend choosing a proven Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner.
Xiaomi Mi Roborock Sweep One S55
The design of this vacuum cleaner is similar to the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1S. By functionality: it performs dry and wet cleaning of premises according to the constructed map or locally - the user can determine the cleaning territory in the application for a smartphone. Battery life - 150 minutes with dry cleaning and 45 - with wet. According to this criterion, he loses the Viomi Cleaning robot model, which in both modes is able to work up to 3 hours. It has a significantly smaller supply of water on board. But in the delivery set there is a moisture-resistant mat for storing the vacuum cleaner after wet cleaning without the risk of accumulation of liquid under it. Price - .
Pros:
- design;
- autonomy;
- the possibility of wet cleaning;
- automatic detection of surface type;
- flexible settings for the schedule and route of cleaning;
- high suction power;
- large dust container.
Minuses
- price;
- small volume of the container for water;
- no euro plug;
- quickly clogged water filters;
- sometimes loses the dock;
- not Russified.
Compare this model with Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Cleaner and its improved version 1S I do not see the point, because they do not have the function of wet cleaning. If we compare with Viomi Cleaning robot, then we will not find any significant difference. The obvious possibility of savings without loss in functionality and performance. Xiaomi Viomi Cleaning robot even has the advantage of autonomy.
