Xiaomi Robot Vacuum-Mop Mijia 1C

This is my 2nd robot vacuum set. My 1st set was purchased exactly 10 years ago, the PicaBot eVo2. Used it for a few years before it breaks down. That time we started having a cleaning lady coming over during weekend. So I don’t see the need to purchase a new robot vacuum.

The problem starts again when we begin the MCO. Arghh, all those sweeping and mopping, it’s like never ending story! I started browsing on robot vacuum again. 10 years different, now there are so many options available, from as cheap as below RM100 to a few thousand ringgit.

2 of my must have criteria:
1. Global version
2. Vacuum with mop function, and must able to function at the same time. (Sekali jalan gitu)

Hence, my best option is Xiaomi Robot Vacuum-Mop Mijia 1C.

Before I finally got my hands on the set, I went through a series of drama. I messaged 2 of the so-called official Mi Store on Shopee. Both of them never reply to me.  I messaged them a few times within 1 week.  Of cause, in the end, I file in a report to Shopee.

I also messaged Kuching’s one and only Mi official store, through their FB account, the admin reply saying that they have the stock in Kuching.  So, on the last day of CMCO, I went to their store.  How disappointed I was when the staff said they don’t have any.  It was my 1st going to a Mall just to get this and you said you don’t have any!!! I don’t want to urgent, social distancing what, I try to project my unhappiness through my small eye, not sure if they get the message or not.

So last Friday evening, when I saw the Kuching store posted on FB, saying they have new arrival, I straight away give them a call, to confirm of the vacuum-mop, and to inform them that I will go and get it the next morning.  The next morning, I reach the store before they even opened their door.  Not kaisu ok, I just want to beat the crowd.  I still try to avoid people as much as I can.

Payment and check out took less than 15min, and we were out of the mall with my new robot vacuum.  Happy? Yes, but I can save about RM150 if I buy it from Shopee, during offer.  Still some regrets there.  What would you do, if the Shopee store never reply you, will you still purchase from them?  I only message them for item cost more than RM500.

After using the robot for 2 days.  I am so happy with its performance,  I don't mind the price.  Thank goodness for all these technologies.

For Mopping function, you can set the water level from low, medium or high.  I am lovin' it.
