Xiaomi’s robot vacuum cleaner market has evolved over the past 5 years into a maze of dozens of models, sub-brands and modifications. Whereas in 2018, the choice was limited to a couple of Mi Robot series variants, today Xiaomi is producing devices from Dreame, Viomi, Mijia and even Roborock (although the latter is now a standalone brand), it’s almost impossible to understand this variety without a system – especially if you’re not a technical expert.
This article will help you to organize all the current lines of Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners (2026), highlight their key features and understand what each model solves. We will not list all 50+ devices, instead focus on the main platforms, their evolution and selection criteria. And to make it easier for you to navigate, at the end of this article there is a comparison table and FAQ with answers to frequent questions.
Warning: Xiaomi’s smart appliance market is changing rapidly, some models may be discontinued or updated after this material is published, and always check the relevance of the information on official brand resources.
1. The main sub-brands of robot vacuum cleaners Xiaomi: who is who
The first thing that confuses customers is the diversity of brands under Xiaomi’s wing, which is that the company is actually using a multi-brand, one ecosystem strategy, where each sub-brand is responsible for its segment.
- 🔹 Mi Robot (Mijia) is a classic line of robot vacuum cleaners that started with the Mi Robot Vacuum in 2016, and today it is a low-end, mid-end device with a basic set of features.
- 🔹 Dreame is a sub-brand focused on washing robot vacuum cleaners with high suction power (up to 10,000 Pa) and you’ll find models with self-cleaning bases and advanced navigation.
- 🔹 Viomi is a premium destination that focuses on design, quietness and integration with the smart home. Viomi models often feature ultraviolet lights for disinfection.
- 🔹 Roborock is once part of Xiaomi, now an independent brand.We mention it here because many models are still sold under dual branding (Xiaomi Mi Robot by Roborock).
It’s important to understand that all of these brands share the same ecosystem, the Mi Home app (or Xiaomi Home in newer versions), which means that even if you buy a Dreame robot vacuum cleaner, it will be compatible with other Xiaomi devices in your home, but each subbrand’s firmware and algorithms are different — so, for example, the space maps from Mi Robot and Dreame are not interchangeable.
⚠️ Note: Deerma (another Xiaomi sub-brand) also produces robot vacuum cleaners, but they are positioned as ultra-budget solutions with simplified navigation.
2.The Mi Robot lineup: budget workhorses
If you're looking for the first robot vacuum cleaner without overpaying for premium chips, the Mi Robot line is your choice, built on proven platforms, minimalist designs, and covering 80 percent of household tasks.
- 📌 Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Lite is the most affordable model with laser navigation (LDS) And wet cleaning, and it's suction power, 2200 Pa, which is enough for laminate and short pile.
- 📌 Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro is an improved version with a capacity of 3000 Pa, automatic lifting of the mop on the carpets and voice support (Alice, Google Assistant.
- 📌 Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P – 2023 model with a dirt sensor (increases power in contaminated areas) and improved navigation. Supports up to 4 maps of rooms.
All Mi Robots run on the same platform with minor upgrades, and the main difference between the models is:
- Suction power (from 2200 to 4000 Pa).
- The presence of a dirt sensor (is only available in the Pro/P-version).
- Support for voice and smart home.
- Type of navigation: LDS (laser) or hybrid (laser + camera).
⚠️ Note: Mi Robot models without the P in the title (e.g. Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2) often have simplified firmware without support for cleaning areas!
Suction power (minimum 2500 Pa for carpets)
Type of navigation (LDS is preferred over gyroscope)
The presence of a dirt sensor (if you need spot cleaning)
Support for wet cleaning (if you plan to wash the floors)
Compatibility with voice assistants-->
3.Dreame: Power and self-cleaning for big homes
If Mi Robot is the first robot vacuum cleaner, Dreame is the solution for those who want maximum automation.
- 🔥 Self-cleaning bases (DreameBot models) Z10 Pro, DreameBot X30 Ultra).
- 🔥 Suction power up to 10,000 Pa (for comparison: Mi Robot has a maximum of 4,000 Pa).
- 🔥 Advanced navigation with 3D-scanning of premises (in top models).
- 🔥 Support for hot water for wet cleaning (in some models).
Let's look at the key models:
| Model | Power (Pa) | Self-cleaning | 3D-navigation | Hot water. | Price (2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DreameBot D9 | 4000 | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ | ~25 000 ₽ |
| DreameBot L10s Ultra | 5300 | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ~60 000 ₽ |
| DreameBot X30 Ultra | 10 000 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ~90 000 ₽ |
The big question is, do you need a self-cleaning base? If you have a big apartment (100+ m2) or pets, yes, it makes life much easier. Otherwise, you can save money and take a model without a base (for example, DreameBot D9).
💡
Dreame self-cleaning robots require special dust bags (consumers). 2-3 month, but the cost of replacement ~1500 ₽. Keep that in mind in your budget.
4.Viomi: Premium segment with emphasis on design and silence
Viomi is Xiaomi's answer to premium vacuum cleaners like Ecovacs Deebot or iRobot Roomba, and you won't find any record for suction power here, but you'll get:
- 🎨 Stylish minimalist design (white case, metal inserts).
- 🔇 Noise level from 55 dB (versus 65-70 dB competitors).
- 🦠 Ultraviolet lamps for floor disinfection.
- 🧠 Advanced cleaning algorithms (e.g., automatic carpet recognition).
Flagship models:
- 💎 Viomi V3 Max – 4000 Pa, double side brushes, voice and smart home support. Different in round shape (unlike square Dreame).
- 💎 Viomi SE — Budget version with a capacity of 2700 Pa, but with a UV lamp and quiet operation.
⚠️ Attention: Viomi robots are often criticized for the low suction power on high-pile carpets.If you have a lot of carpets, it's best to consider Dreame or Roborock.
How is Viomi better than Dreame?
5. Roborock: a semi-independent brand with top-of-the-line navigation
Although Roborock is now a standalone company, many models are still sold under the Xiaomi brand (e.g. Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Ultra is actually made by Roborock).
- 🧭 Best navigation on the market (mapping accuracy up to 1 cm).
- 🔄 Hybrid cleaning system (vacuum cleaner) + mop-module).
- 📱 Maximum customization in the application (you can even adjust the force of the mop press).
Current models (2026):
- 🏆 Roborock S8 Pro Ultra – flagship with a capacity of 10,000 Pa, double rubber brushes (no hair entanglement) and a base with self-cleaning + mop-drying.
- 🏆 Roborock Q Revo is a more affordable alternative with 5500 Pa and automatic mop lifting on carpets.
💡
If you want the most accurate cleaning and the willingness to pay for premium chips, Roborock is the best choice, but these robots require regular maintenance (cleaning brushes, changing filters), otherwise they lose their efficiency.
6. How to choose a robot vacuum cleaner Xiaomi for your tasks
To avoid confusion in the models, answer 5 key questions:
- What type of gender prevails? 🪵 Laminate/tiles: any wet cleaning robot (e.g. Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro) is suitable). 🧵 Carpets: need power from 4000 Pa (DreameBot) D9, Roborock S7). 🐕 Pets: Self-cleaning base (DreameBot) L10s Ultra) or rubber brushes (Roborock) S8).
Do I need a wet cleaning?
If so, look for models with a water tank and a vibrating mop (Viomi and Roborock have a more efficient mop than Mi Robot).
Is noise important?
For night cleaning, choose Viomi (55-60 dB) or Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P (62 dB). Dreame and Roborock in turbo mode louder (65+ dB).
Do I need integration with a smart home?
All Xiaomi robots work with Mi Home, but voice control (Alice, Google) is only in Pro models.
What budget?
- ⚡ Up to 30,000. ₽: Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Lite, DreameBot D9.
- ⚡ 30 000–60 000 ₽: Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro, Viomi SE, DreameBot L10s Ultra.
- ⚡ 60 000+ ₽: Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, DreameBot X30 Ultra.
💡
If you live in a small apartment (up to 50 m2), don’t overpay for a self-cleaning base.
7 Frequent mistakes in selection and how to avoid them
Even after learning the characteristics, buyers often face surprises.-5 Mistakes and how to prevent them:
- 🚫 Ignoring navigation type: Robots with a gyroscope (without a laser) are cheaper, but get lost in large rooms and build maps worse.+ Take m2 only. LDS camera-navigation.
- 🚫 Buying without regard to the height of the thresholds. Many robots do not cross thresholds above 1.5 cm. Check this setting if you have joints between rooms.
- 🚫 Savings on consumables. Filters, brushes and self-cleaning bags are a must-have. For example, for DreameBot. X30 Ultra bags stand ~1500 ₽ 3 grand.
- 🚫 Unproven floor compatibility: Robots with vibration mop (like Roborock) can damage soft floors (linoleum, cork!
- 🚫 Neglecting firmware updates. Without regular updates, the robot may lose navigation accuracy. → Update of the PO.
⚠️ Note: If you buy a Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner for cleaning construction dust (for example, after repair), be prepared for frequent cleaning of filters. 4,000-50,000 Pa may not be enough for fine debris - in such cases it is better to use a regular vacuum cleaner.
