Xiaomi Deerma’s robotic mops have gained popularity with a combination of affordable pricing, smart features and high-quality cleaning. However, the brand’s range includes several models, from budget to premium, and it’s not always easy to understand their differences. In this article, we will compare all the current mops of the CM series (CM1000, CM2000, CM3000, etc.), highlight key technical differences and help determine which one is right for your home.
We'll focus on the functionality of wet cleaning, Mi Home management, battery life and floor compatibility, and whether you should overpay for top-end models or just a base version, and at the end of this article, we'll have a comparison table and answers to frequent customer questions.
1. Xiaomi Deerma mop line review: what models exist?
Deerma brand (a division of Xiaomi for the production of cleaning equipment) produces mops in three main series:
- 🔹 CM1000 — budget model with basic functionality, suitable for small apartments with laminate or tiles.
- 🔹 CM2000 — "Golden mean with improved spin system and support for the Mi Home app.
- 🔹 CM3000 — flagship with maximum suction power, ultra-thin body and advanced settings.
Also on sale are modifications with the prefix Pro (for example, the Deerma CM2000 Pro), which differ in the increased battery or additional nozzles. Importantly, all models are compatible with disposable and reusable wipes, but some require branded accessories.
Before buying, check if the selected model supports automatic cleaning mode (available only in the CM2000 and CM3000), which allows the mop to choose the intensity depending on the type of contamination.
Key technical differences: comparative table
To see how Xiaomi Deerma mops differ, we put together the basic parameters in a table. Pay attention to the suction power, which is the main indicator of cleaning efficiency. Also important is the volume of the water tank: the larger it is, the less water you have to add during cleaning.
| Parameter | Deerma CM1000 | Deerma CM2000 | Deerma CM3000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suction power | 1200 Pa | 2000 Pa Pa | 3000 Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa |
| Volume of water tank | 200 ml | 250 ml | 300 ml |
| Time to work. | 40 minutes | 60 minutes | 90 minutes |
| Management through Mi Home | ❌ No. | ✅ Yes. | ✅ Yes (extended settings) |
| Automatic mode. | ❌ No. | ✅ Yes. | ✅ Yes (with pollution sensor) |
An important nuance: the CM3000 features a floor humidity sensor that automatically adjusts the water supply depending on the type of coating (laminate, parquet, tile) that prevents overmoisturizing and damaging flooring materials. The budget CM1000 does not have this feature — you have to control the process manually.
💡
If you have long-pile carpets in your home, choose the CM3000 – its suction power (3,000 Pa) will handle deep cleaning, whereas the CM1000 can leave dust.
3. Functional capabilities: what do mops know?
All Xiaomi Deerma models support wet cleaning, but it is implemented in different ways.
- 💧 Water supply adjustment: in CM2000 and CM3000 There are 3 levels of intensity (light, standard, deep cleaning). CM1000 one-on-one.
- 🔄 Self-cleaning nozzle: available in all models, but in CM3000 process takes 30 seconds (versus 60 in) CM1000).
- 📱 Management through the application: only in CM2000/CM3000. You can start cleaning on schedule, select zones and track status.
- 🔋 Fast charging: CM3000 charge in 3 hours (CM1000 — 5 hours).
The CM1000 is mechanical (you have to press the lever by hand) and the CM2000/CM3000 is electronic, with the degree of pressing adjustment, which is especially important for carpet cleaning: weak pressing leaves moisture, and strong pressing can damage delicate coatings.
How does the CM3000 pollution sensor work?
If you need a mop for daily cleaning without unnecessary settings, CM1000 will suffice. But for large houses or families with children / animals, it is better to consider the CM3000 - it will cope with severe pollution and save time.
4. Compatibility with flooring: what can be washed?
The manufacturer claims that Deerma mops are suitable for all types of floors, but there are nuances:
- 🏠 Laminate flooring: all models are safe, but in CM1000 It is better to use a minimum supply of water (manually).
- 🧱 Tile / porcelain tiles: perfect for CM2000/CM3000 — They're more effective at removing limestone.
- 🧵 Carpets: only CM3000 (capacity of 3000 Pa). CM1000 may not be able to handle the pile.
- 🪨 Natural stone: special napkin is required (sold separately).
⚠️ Note: Do not use Deerma mops on unsealed carpets (such as palais) - they can crumple under the influence of a rotating nozzle.
In the Mi Home app (for CM2000/CM3000), you can select the type of coating before cleaning, the system automatically adjusts the intensity, for example, for parquet water supply will decrease, and for tile suction power will increase.
💡
For cleaning carpets with a long pile, pre-vacuum them - this will increase the efficiency of the mop and prolong the life of the napkins.
5. Battery and autonomy: how much does it work without recharging?
The mop's operating time depends on the model and the mode chosen. The manufacturer indicates the following data:
- 🔋 CM1000: up to 40 minutes (Eco mode").
- 🔋 CM2000: up to 60 minutes (standard mode).
- 🔋 CM3000: 90 minutes (Turbo mode reduces time to 60 minutes).
In practice, these numbers may vary, for example, when cleaning highly contaminated areas of the mop, it spends more energy on suction, and battery age also affects autonomy: after 2-3 years, the battery capacity decreases by 15-20%.
⚠️ Warning: If the Deerma mop starts to run out in 10-15 minutes, check the battery status at the service center.
To extend the battery life, follow the recommendations:
Store the mop at a temperature of 10–30°C|Do not leave it on charging for more than 12 hours |Use only the original ZU |Once every 3 months, conduct a full discharge / charging cycle-->
6.Management and integration with a smart home
The CM2000 and CM3000 models support control through the Mi Home app, which opens up additional possibilities:
- 📅 Scheduled cleaning: You can program the launch at a specific time (for example, while you are not home).
- 🗺️ Area cleaning: highlight areas on the map that need to be washed (for example, only the kitchen).
- 📊 Statistics: the application shows the area of the harvested surface, pollution level and operating time.
- 🔊 Voice control: via Alice or Google Assistant (smart speaker required).
To connect the mop to the Mi Home:
- Install the application on your smartphone.
- Turn on the mop and put it in pairing mode (hold the power button for 5 seconds).
- In Mi Home, click Add Device → Household Care → Deerma.
- Follow the instructions on the screen.
The CM1000 is controlled mechanically by buttons on the body, which can be inconvenient for the elderly or those who are used to smart technology.

8. User reviews: pros and cons
After analyzing reviews on Yandex.Market, Wildberries and foreign platforms, we identified the main advantages and disadvantages of the Xiaomi Deerma mop:
Pros (common to all models):
- ✅ Lightweight (1.2-1.5 kg) – comfortable to hold with one hand.
- ✅ Quiet work (up to 65 dB).
- ✅ Quick self-cleaning of the nozzle (30–60 seconds).
Cons (depending on the model):
- ❌ CM1000: suction-power.
- ❌ CM2000: 250 ml tank requires refueling when cleaning large rooms.
- ❌ CM3000: high price (from 15,000) ₽).
Users have pointed out that the CM2000 is the best price-per-quality ratio, which handles 90 percent of household tasks and doesn't overpay for the bells and whistles of the top model, but for homes with animals or allergies, the CM3000 is the best choice, because it's powerful enough for deep cleaning.
