The Mijia sweeping robot and the stone sweeping robot previously launched by Stone Technology, an important member of Xiaomi's ecological chain, are highly praised in the market. This time, we have brought a new sweeping robot - Xiaowa sweeping robot youth version, whose crowdfunding price in Mijia is only 999 yuan. Stone Technology has a very clear positioning for it. Slogan is directly a "1000 yuan strength group", and the sword points to the 1000 yuan gear. How is this small tile sweeping robot, which aims to be "the first sweeping robot for young people", performing?

Appearance design

In terms of external packaging, similar to the first two products, the Xiaowa sweeping robot is made of kraft paper, which is relatively low-key and simple, with a simple appearance on the front. The biggest difference is that the words below are replaced by Xiaowa's pinyin "xiaowa", indicating its identity.

There is a detailed parameter label of the product on the side. It can be seen that the specific model of the machine is C10. For the time being, the small tile sweeping robot only provides white options. It is unknown whether other colors will be provided later.

Similar to the stone sweeping robot, once the package is opened, it is a manual accessory. The slight difference is that the logo of stone technology is not used, but the brand logo of small tiles. It seems that stone technology is very clear about the difference between the two.

Further down, you can see the body of the small tile sweeping robot. It is a packaging layout similar to the Mijia sweeping robot and the stone sweeping robot. Each part has plastic packaging, which will be familiar to users who have bought previous products.

The accessories are as simple as ever, only the charging base, power cord and main brush cleaning tools. Compared with the stone sweeping robot, the small tile has no place to store cleaning tools, which is a "disadvantage".

Returning to the main character Xiaowa sweeping robot this time, the overall shape follows the previous design, but the sense of integration is better than that of Mijia and Stone sweeping robots, because of the changes in the sensor part: the previous LDS laser ranging sensor is gone, and only the rechargeable sensor is retained above, which greatly reduces the size. In terms of appearance, the author personally believes that Xiaowa sweeping robot has a higher appearance.

The laser sensor arranged above is gone. Where is the sensor of the small tile sweeping robot? Stone Technology has ingeniously arranged it on the side this time. Of course, it is no longer a laser sensor, but an infrared deceleration sensor instead.

The opposite side of the sensor is equipped with air vents and speakers, and the same hollowed out design is used for symmetrical processing. In terms of appearance, stone technology has obviously considered a lot.

All the keys of the small tile sweeping robot are arranged on the front. They are local sweeping, power key and recharge key, which are used to control common functions. They can work normally even without a mobile phone.

Open the lid and you can see the dust box. Stone Technology has attached pictures to illustrate the cleaning steps. The small tile sweeping robot is equipped with a 640ml super large dust box, which is the largest of the three stone technology products at present. It can basically meet the demand of one week and reduce the frequency of users cleaning dust boxes.

The shape of the bottom is similar to that of the first two products, with no major change. The obstacle surmounting ability is 2cm as that of the stone sweeping robot, which should be the same design; Although the maximum suction is not as good as Mijia or the stone sweeping robot, it also has a good 1600pa, which is very competitive for products of the same level. Some parameters of the product are pasted on the bottom. It can be seen that the actual rated voltage is 14.4V and the rated power is 50W.

Mijia app

Like Mijia and Stone Sweeping Robot, Xiaowa Sweeping Robot naturally supports remote control using Mijia app. After simply adding a device, you can see the small tile sweeping robot in the device. Click it to see the status and control of the small tile sweeping robot. However, compared with the high-end stone sweeping robot, the control of Xiaowa is relatively simple and can only control the mode of cleaning and use.

Since the small tile sweeping robot replaced the original laser range finder with the traditional infrared sensor, there is no way to build a room map and plan the sweeping route on the Mijia app compared with the Mijia and Stone sweeping robots, and advanced functions such as area sweeping and pointing where to sweep will naturally disappear. Of course, considering the positioning of the small tile sweeping robot, this is a normal situation, and there is nothing to complain about.

Although there is no way to provide advanced functions, the other settings are the same as Mijia and Stone Sweeping Robot, such as regular cleaning, usage of consumables, firmware update, etc., which can fully meet the needs of daily use. In terms of use, in addition to the slight lack of advanced functions, the experience of the small tile sweeping robot is no different from that of the other two products of Stone Technology, and it is very easy for users to get started.

Cleaning capacity

As a sweeping robot, the cleaning ability is the most important. Good appearance design and smart app can add points. How about the performance of Xiaowa sweeping robot?

In view of the experience of Mijia and Stone Sweeping Robot produced by Stone Technology, plus the hard power of 1600pa suction of the small tile sweeping robot, the author has sufficient confidence in them. The actual performance of the small tile sweeping robot is also a good reputation of stone technology. The hair and debris on the floor can be cleaned, even the carpet can deal with it; The most powerful MAX mode noise is also within the acceptable range; Intuitive comparison is not inferior to Mijia and Stone Sweeping Robot.

However, since it is not a laser ranging sensor, the small tile sweeping robot relies on infrared sensors and the adaptive random collision algorithm of stone technology to clean. Although the cleaning route planning is not as good as Mijia and Stone Sweeping Robot, the performance of Xiaowa Sweeping Robot is still satisfactory in the face of complex terrain. For those special corners that cannot be cleaned due to the size of the sweeping robot, it is not a problem of insufficient sweeping ability or poor software control, but a practical physical limitation.

tail

Xiaowa sweeping robot is the third product of Stone Technology that focuses on sweeping robots. In the last product, Stone Technology opened its own brand. This time, Xiaowa was added, and it is aimed at the market of 1000 yuan. Just as Xiaomi uses the "Hongmi" brand to compete in the thousand yuan market, Stone Technology should also want to use "Xiaowa" to target the thousand yuan market, and walk in the market with both feet in parallel with the "Stone" brand. The Xiaowa sweeping robot has also lived up to expectations, adhering to the tradition of stone technology, and its actual performance is completely worthy of the 999 price. As the "first sweeping robot for young people", you are worth considering.
