We have become accustomed to the help that this type of robots lends us, which If they are simple, they have the disadvantage that the few uses have to empty them and clean them. Given the absolute laziness caused by such action, that the base does it for you and you can forget the matter For a long time it is received with Wonderful pleasure. The resulting comfort is the suggestive focus of a robot that also leaves appreciable sensations for its mission in the soils. Its effect is noticeable in the house.

When the happily postponed time comes to throw water again, empty the dirty tank and open the dust compartment, it constitutes a relief check The easy thing that puts the base in what to remove, clean and relocate.

Similarly, the initial start -up, which can give a certain vertigo through the voluminous box in which it comes (yes, the base is large, but what is offered compensates for the circumstance), for nothing it becomes arduous. Yes, it should be noted that Xiaomi’s robot It only works with 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networksso it is somewhat Latino to get off the 5 GHz and manipulate the Router To change bands every time you want to use.

The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20 Pro is managed From the mobile through the app Xiaomi Homecomplete as it is intuitive. By voice can be appealed to him thanks to Alexa or the Google Assistant. As a complement, Yes, I would have liked to dispose of a physical command for essential functions not to depend exclusively on the phone. In that sense, sometimes it is preferred to go to the classic. Xiaomi Home enables a secondary option to handle it manually, but the smartphone.

Contemplate four cleaning modes: aspire, aspire and pass the mopa, aspire before passing the mop and passing the mopa. Aspiration can be silent (maybe not as much as it says), standard, strong and turbo. Set three possible levels of water flow when the mop passes and, with respect to the intensity of work during the routes, one chooses if the fast clean robot, in a standard or in -depth manner.

Personalized maps

In that line, the user decides whether all rooms are cleaned or only. The robot moves for them thanks to the maps previously created through the scanns made in their ‘observation incursions’. In fact, before the first cleaning, he makes such recognition, since without a map he cannot work. In these maps variables and customizations can be introduced by establishing restricted areas and virtual wallsedit the rooms, specify furniture and soil materials.

Put in action, the robot exhibits intelligence and unfolding when it comes to overcoming obstacles (it is rare to get stuck). It also shows ‘dedication’ in his detainee through each room, with the nuance that he does not perform thorough cleaning by each and every corner. However, sometimes, when asked to clean the entire house or several spaces, a Little error And, as his voice announces, he returns to the base by having finished the task after having intervened only in the room where the base is found.

Its battery greatly satisfies and does not generate complaints, so There is no problem setting long sessions. In standard mode, he holds more than two and a half hours without going to Boxes. That always returns to the base at the end plays in favor of the circumstance.

The large repertoire of adjustments available in Xiaomi Home is manifested in the specific functions for carpets, cleaning history or in the curious section Consumable managementwhich details The useful life hours They have left the mopa, filter, side brush or brush pads before the replacement. Exposes your percentages.
