Video for wet cleaning robot Xiaomi: how it works

Modern robot vacuum cleaners are no longer just rolling pancakes that collect dust around corners. Today, Xiaomi’s flagship models and the Mijia ecosystem offer full-fledged wet cleaning that mimics the movements of a human hand. Users often search for “wet cleaning videos,” implying either training videos about how the mechanism works or encountering confusion in terms of functionality.

In fact, the query for video often hides an interest in a vibration platform technology that visually and physically resembles the movement of a rag when hand washed, and it is this feature that allows you to effectively remove dried spots that ordinary robots just dragging a wet wipe can not cope with. In this article, we will discuss in detail how this system works, which models are equipped with it and how to properly adjust the gadget to achieve perfect floor cleanliness.

Understanding the way an electromechanical platform works will help you avoid typical operating errors. Many owners don't know that activating maximum mode requires not just pressing a button, but also properly preparing the tank. We'll look at all the nuances to make your smart assistant work to the limit.

The principle of operation of the Sonic Mopping system

A key feature of advanced models is Sonic Mopping technology. Unlike static holders, where the napkin is simply pressed against the floor by the weight of a robot, it uses high-frequency vibration. The electric motor inside the module causes the platform to perform up to 3,000 reciprocating movements per minute, which creates the intense friction effect necessary to wipe off dirt.

And it's important to note that Xiaomi has implemented intelligent control of this process, and that the carpet sensors automatically detect the vitriolic coating and either lift the platform (in elevator models) or stop the water supply and vibration. This prevents carpets from getting wet and moisture from spreading throughout the house. Without this automation, the use of a washing robot would not be possible in mixed-floor apartments.

⚠️ Warning: Do not use aggressive chemicals or hot water in the tank.This can damage the pump seals and cause the electronic fluid supply valve to fail.

Visually, it looks like a slight jitter in the back of the body, and if you put your hand on the robot while you're in Vibration mode, you'll experience a characteristic ripple, and that mechanical effect is the kind of video action that users are looking for to understand the efficiency of cleaning.

Overview of compatible models and their features

Not all of the brand's devices support a full-fledged vibration sink. The basic versions only have a gravity water supply where moisture just drips onto the fabric. The quality cleaning requires Pro models or flagship lines. The differences are in the tank volume, the mop elevator and the suction power.

The table below compares the key characteristics of popular models that support active wet cleaning, which will help you navigate when choosing or updating your home appliance fleet.

And you'll notice that the self-cleaning models have this automatic washing and mop drying function, and this is critical because the moist environment is very good for bacterial reproduction, and if the base can dry the rags with hot air, it can significantly extend the life of the consumables.

When choosing a device, focus not only on marketing names, but also on the presence of an electronic pump. It provides uniform wetting, unlike non-flying systems, where the rate of delivery depends on the level of water in the tank.

Setting up modes in the Mi Home app

All parameters are controlled through a single interface Mi Home or Xiaomi Home. Once you connect the robot to the Wi-Fi network, you will have access to advanced settings. Here you can set the water intensity and type of cleaning. The interface may vary depending on the regional version of the firmware of the device.

To activate the vibration, you need to go to the cleaning settings. Usually the path is: Settings → Cleaning settings → Water intensity. There are modes available: Low, Medium, High and Customizable. To remove complex spots, you should choose maximum values, but with caution on the laminate.

• 📱 Zoning: You can map a specific room and set it individual humidity parameters, ignoring the general settings.
• 💧 Accurate dosage: in advanced models, a water volume adjustment in milliliters per square meter is available, which allows you to ideally choose the mode for any coating.
• 🚫 Virtual Walls: Be sure to use no-go zones around long-pile carpets if your model doesn’t automatically lift the mop.

The app also has a schedule feature, so you can set the robot up to do wet cleaning only during the day when you're not home, or at night when noise is minimal, but remember that night cleaning can be heard because of the vibration motor.

Preparation and installation of the module

The right preparation is the key to clean up properly. Before starting the process, make sure that the dry garbage container is installed (if the model is combined) or replaced with a combined water tank. An error in the installation can lead to the robot not seeing the module and starting the pump.

Use only the recommended water. Room temperature distilled or filtered water is perfect. Tap water, which over time, causes scaling inside thin tubes and nozzles, which reduces the efficiency of spraying. If you notice that the robot has started to leave less moisture or stopped wetting the napkin, maybe the channels have become clogged with salts.

⚠️ Attention: It is strictly forbidden to pour chlorine-containing liquids, bleach or thick detergents into the tank. They destroy plastic parts of the pump and can cause corrosion of metal contacts.

The tissue wipe should be tightly attached to the holder's Velcro, and if it dangles, the vibration efficiency is reduced, as the energy is transferred not to the floor, but to the free movement of the tissue. Regularly change or erase the microfiber, as the contaminated tissue simply smears the dirt on the floor instead of collecting it.

Maintenance and care

After each wet cleaning, remove the module and wash it with clean water. The moisture residue inside the tank can become a breeding ground for mold and unpleasant odor. Wipe the charging contacts on the tank with a dry cloth so that the oxidation does not disrupt the connection with the main control unit.

Once a month, you can do a deep cleaning of the water supply system, which can be done with robotic cleaning solutions or a weak solution of citric acid, run it through the system, and then thoroughly washed with clean water, which will help remove microscopic deposits that are not visible to the eye, but reduce the throughput of the capillaries.

Remember to check the condition of the wheels and side brush. Wet cleaning is often done in the kitchen or in the hallway, where small abrasive particles may be on the floor. Their entry into the machinery can lead to accelerated wear. Regular inspection prolongs the life of the device.

Solving problems and malfunctions

Sometimes users are faced with a situation where the robot drives, but the floor remains dry. First of all, check the presence of water in the tank and the installation is correct. If there is water but not supplied, perhaps there is an air traffic jam in the system. Try several times to press the water supply valve manually (when the robot is off) or start the maximum supply mode for 1-2 minutes.

Another common problem is that the robot leaves wet tracks or puddles, which may indicate that the electronic valve that stuck in the open position malfunctions, or that the intensity setting for this type of coating is too high, in which case it is worth reducing the feed level in the application.

• 🔊 Noise: amplification of sound during washing is normal, because the vibratory motor is running. If the sound becomes metallic or crackling, check the mounting of the tank.
• 📉 Speed: In wet cleaning mode, the robot can move more slowly to ensure quality stain cleaning and even distribution of water.
• 🔋 Battery: Vibration and pump operation consume more energy. Battery life in combined mode can be reduced by a factor of two. 15-20% compared to dry cleaning.

💡

Tip: If the robot gets stuck on the doorsteps with a wet cloth, try to reduce the volume of water. The tissue becomes heavier and can cling to obstacles that were easily overcome in dry mode.

If you have errors on the indicators or in the application, refer to the error code in the instructions. Often the problem is solved by simply restarting the device or cleaning the sensors that may have been stained with water splashes.
