1. Key selection criteria: what to look at first
When choosing a vertical vacuum cleaner, Xiaomi can easily drown in marketing slogans like “power 25,000 Pa” or “laser navigation.”
suction force in practice: Manufacturers specify maximum value (e.g, 25000 Pa Dreame. V13), But the actual power depends on the mode of operation, so at maximum speed, most vacuum cleaners do not keep peak power for longer. 5-7 minutes, and then automatically reduce it to 12000-15000 Pa to avoid overheating, except for the multi-Cone Cyclone cooling system (e.g. Dreame). T40), preserve 80% power-through 20 minute.
Battery type and autonomy. Cheap models are equipped with lithium-ion batteries on the same scale. 2000-2500 mAh that endure 300-400 charging cycles (about) 2-3 Premium versions (e.g. Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop) 2 Ultra has batteries on 5000 mAh up to 1000 The operating time on a single charge varies from 30 minutes (budget models) to 90 minutes (flagships).

- 🔋 Magnetic attachment (like Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2) is more convenient than latch, but less reliable when cleaning intensively.
- 🧹 The basic equipment often does not have furniture brushes or slit nozzles - they will have to be purchased separately.
⚠️ Warning: If you're looking at a "brushless motor," it's not always a plus, but it's less noisy, but it's faster to get your hair clogged and you need to clean it every month.
