Purchase demand
With the resumption of work and school in all walks of life, the good days of telecommuting at home are gone forever. I used to feel that there was a lot of time to spend at home, but now it is:
After going to work, I want to use intelligent hardware to save cleaning time and ensure the cleaning effect.
The school district housing area is not large (90 square meters), and the house type is relatively simple. However, I have a Samoyed dog at home. The dog hair must be cleaned every day, which becomes a burden from the perspective of time occupation.
A lot of furniture, such as the space under the sofa and coffee table cabinet, can be cleaned with a broom or a traditional vacuum cleaner. It is troublesome and not thorough, and gradually becomes a sanitary corner.
Previously, we bought Mijia fingerprint lock, air purifier, intelligent ceiling lamp, intelligent gateway and other products, which established trust in Mijia ecological chain. It is hoped that the floor sweeping robot can be used to replace the manual work, create a smart home environment, and enhance the sense of happiness.
To sum up, I want to buy a sweeping and dragging robot with large suction, thin body, reliable performance, simple use and high cost performance to solve the problem of daily household cleaning. After some comparison, I chose this Xiaomi G1 sweeping robot, hoping to save more time to write articles and go out for a walk with my family and big dogs.
Product appreciation
Clockwise at the upper right corner: Xiaomi G1 sweeping robot, mop, mop pallet, user manual and quick guide, cleaning brush, adapter, charging seat.
Xiaomi G1 adopts the classic Mijia white color matching, and the corners are excessively round and natural, which can be well consistent with Mijia air purifier, humidifier and other styles at home.
The tight and fine assembly gap and the comfortable texture reflect the good process level and high mold precision. The minimalist operating panel has only two physical buttons, and is equipped with invisible color indicator lights, full of sense of technology.
The overall white bottom, with the bright red main brush as the finishing touch on the design, also implies the powerful cleaning performance.
Behind the suspended suction port is the Japanese NIDEC motor, which provides the surging suction up to 2200pa. The red glue scraper+black ultra dense fiber bristles constitute the main brush of fur glue integration. Continuous sweeping and scraping can deal with various floors, such as floors and tiles, with stronger dust collection ability and more thorough suction and dragging.
Pay attention to the two longitudinal metal strips to prevent carpets and other fabrics from being drawn into the suction mouth.
The front double-sided brush provides better gathering effect, which can gather dust, hair and other garbage to the suction mouth, so as to quickly inhale the dust box. Compared with the single side brush, it will not fly sundries, and has a better cleaning effect on the corner of the wall.
Xiaomi G1 adopts the design of integrating the dust box and the water tank, which is called the two in one water tank (as the female voice of the robot prompts). After cleaning, open the upper cover and take out the dust box and water tank once, so that after dumping the garbage, you can easily add water.
In the dynamic diagram, gently press the buckle to disassemble the two in one water tank. The left side is the water tank, and the right side is the dust box. The water tank is also cleverly used as the upper cover of the dust box.
The dynamic diagram intuitively shows the volume of both, 400ml for dust box and 200ml for water tank, which is a reasonable proportion. That is, when the dust box is full, the water in the water tank is basically used up. From the control logic, when the dust box is full, most robots will pause and prompt users to clean; Considering the internal space of the product, if the water tank is large, the dust box is bound to be small, which will cause the dilemma that the dust box will be filled quickly, there is still a lot of water in the water tank, but the machine has been suspended.
The tail of the dust box is a fine multiple filtering mechanism: nylon mesh filters larger particles, filter cotton blocks dust and extends the life of HEPA filter screen, HEPA effectively filters 3 micron level dirt to avoid secondary pollution of indoor air caused by the airflow blown by the machine. There is also a movable baffle at the joint between the front of the dust box and the suction port, so that when the dust box is taken out for cleaning, the garbage in the box can be avoided from spilling out, and the details are very considerate.
Use experience: easy maintenance
All functional accessories of Xiaomi G1 can be disassembled without tools, which is convenient for cleaning, maintenance and replacement.
With the help of magic buttons, the clean mop can be firmly combined with the pallet.
The mop carrier plate can be installed with a simple flat push and a click. The video is for visual demonstration. In actual use, the bracket can be installed without turning over the host.
Press the release buckle gently with both fingers to remove the mop for maintenance and cleaning. I didn't read the manual, but I learned it quickly.
When cleaning is needed, the main brush can be taken out easily.
The main brush is divided into front and rear directions. Will it be installed reversely after cleaning? Just try it. There is a fool proof design here. It can't be installed when the direction is reversed.
Use experience: one button cleaning
Put the charging stand in a suitable position, press and hold the power on button, there will be a voice prompt to start the machine, and put the host on the charging stand to charge, which completes the preparations before sweeping the floor.
When Xiaomi G1 starts to clean, first turn around gracefully, let the infrared sensor and collision buffer face forward, and the main brush starts to rotate while sweeping.
Xiaomi G1 uses high-precision gyroscopes for inertial intelligent navigation and sweeps along the intelligent bow path, ensuring efficient sweeping and full house coverage, even corners can be swept clean.
Use experience: eliminate dead corners
As I said before, there are two major difficulties in our cleaning campaign: one is dog hair, and the other is the sanitary corner under the furniture. Xiaomi G1 has a flat top and no protrusion, and its thin body is as low as 82mm. It can easily drive into the bottom of sofa, tea table, wardrobe, TV cabinet or big bed, which really becomes a household savior.
When Xiaomi G1 first entered the house, it was impressive to clean it for the first time. When it got under the sofa and didn't come out for a long time, I was afraid it was stuck.
Let's talk about the actual results. If we didn't open the dust box and see it with our own eyes, we couldn't believe that there was so much dust, dog hair, paper scraps and other sundries under the sofa. In the past, the sanitary corner that could not be dealt with with the vacuum cleaner and broom finally met with a nemesis. Xiaomi G1 solved the long-standing problem of home cleaning with its strength.
Use experience: automatic recharge
During the cleaning process, the user can control the host to return to the charging base (recharge) at any time through the button or Mijia App.
The orange indicator light indicates that the battery is low. Under the guidance of the infrared light from the charging station, Xiaomi G1 will recharge automatically; After charging, continuously sweep the breakpoint. In addition, when the cleaning task is completed, it will be automatically recharged.
Experience: Sweep and drag mode
Fill the water tank with water, then install the mop assembly in place and start cleaning.
Xiaomi G1 now enters the sweeping mode, sweeping first and then dragging along the bow shaped path. Due to the heavy dust, I choose the third level (more) of water volume. From the watermark on the floor, it can be seen that the tracks from one time to another overlap slightly to avoid the blank of missing dragging.
After sweeping and dragging a room, remove the mop components to check. It seems that there is not much dust. In fact, it is firmly absorbed by the mop fiber. When washing, you will see that the water turns black immediately. It shows that the mopping effect is very good.
Use experience: App interaction
The control interface of Xiaomi G1 is relatively simple. You can press and hold it for a short time: switch on, start/pause cleaning, and start/pause recharging. If you want more options, you can add robots in Mijia App to connect Xiaomi G1 to Mijia intelligent environment. In this way, you can remotely control and make an appointment to clean when you go to work.
You can also access Xiao'ai's classmates to control the sweeping robot through voice to achieve intelligent linkage and bring people a sense of geek satisfaction. When a guest comes to visit us, let's shout, Xiaoai, please clean up, and the sweeping robot will start to work automatically, feeling very proud.
Through Mijia App, you can remotely control, switch modes, and view the cleaning status (time, area, power, etc.).
The suction has four gear adjustment, which can be set freely between quiet cleaning and efficient cleaning. The electric control water tank has three levels of water volume adjustment, which can effectively control the uniform water flow and adapt to the floor tiles and other floors. Multi gear wind and water regulation can meet the needs of daily life.
During operation, the status prompt of Xiaomi G1 is very thoughtful. First, the robot has voice prompts to facilitate your perception at home; The second is that Mijia App can push messages and keep track of the working status of the robot when going out or working.
For example, "Please check whether the two in one water tank is installed properly" in the above figure is a status prompt when cleaning is finished and the dust box is taken out for cleaning. The corresponding voice prompts are: "Two in one water tank has been taken out", "Two in one water tank has been installed", etc.
Experience
Start a week, and share your feelings with the effect of daily use:
Xiaomi G1 does not use laser radar and visual navigation, but intelligent inertial navigation, which can control the cost and reduce the height of the fuselage.
Inertial navigation supported by high-precision gyroscope is a mature technology in the military. For the target customers of Xiaomi G1 (small and medium-sized houses with an area of no more than 120 square meters), the measured number of rooms is small, and both routing and recharging are good.
Especially without the protrusion of the laser radar above, you can easily get under the sofa or bed, and the sanitary dead corner under the furniture has finally been completely solved.
Within a thousand yuan, you can buy a sweeping and dragging robot, which is unmatched in cost performance.
For a pet family like me, the biggest benefit of Xiaomi G1 is that it has finally solved the long-term problem caused by dog hair, and it is worth the ticket price. Because the robot can clean the whole house regularly every day, it can reduce the dog hair flying around the house in time, so the family no longer need to clean clothes with a brush and tape frequently, and the guests dare to sit on the sofa; Moreover, with the help of large suction and multiple filtration system, allergens such as dog dander are effectively eliminated. With Mijia's Pro H air purifier, the air in the home is cleaner and the family's breathing is smoother.
Purchase summary
Compared with other floor sweeping robots of Mijia, my evaluation of Xiaomi G1 is the most cost-effective entry-level floor sweeping robot within 1000 yuan. The integration of gyro inertial navigation and sweeping and dragging increases customers' expectations for entry-level sweeping robots. In general, the positioning of Xiaomi G1 is very clear, and it is suitable for those:
Family pet owners hope to clean cats and dogs' hair efficiently.
The office worker is too busy to clean up after returning home.
Housewives want to reduce the burden of daily housework, but they don't want to learn many functions and complex operations.
Lazy people like to clean but don't like to clean themselves.
I strongly recommend starting with smart appliances that can free people from simple and repetitive daily chores, save us valuable time and improve the quality of life.
