TheLaser Distance Sensor ( LDS ) scans its surroundings 360 degrees, 1800 times per second, to map out the interiors of your house. The three processors track its movements in real-time, and the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping ( SLAM ) algorithm calculates the most efficient route for cleaning. Using the Mi Home app, you can switch on and remotely control the robot, change cleaning modes and set schedules, Additionally, a powerful Nidec brushless DC motor, the main brush with adjustable height and a 5200mAh Li-ion battery for up to 2.5 hours of cleaning, attractive in price and quality, all these make it stand out of the market. Get the Mi Robot Vacuum and dirt will not stand a chance!
AI recognizing. The new technology helps the Xiaomi 1S to recognize rooms location by identifying the doors that lead to these rooms. Now you can schedule the robot to clean within a particular room at a specific time.
Room cleaning. Thanks to AI technology, the robot is able to identify different rooms. You can make it work in one or two rooms instead of the whole house.
Visual sensor. The 1st gen Xiaomi Mi Robot uses the LDS sensor to create a map. The 1S robot vacuum also has a visual sensor. The LDS sensor and visual sensor work together to create a plan that is more accurate than most of the robot cleaners build. Also, the LDS laser in the 1S scans the surroundings faster.
Three vs. four processors to track location. The Mi Robot has three processors inside that help it to track the position while the 1S is equipped with four processors which allows creating the map faster.
Powered by the next-generation processor. The Mi Robot vacuum is powered with the quad-core Conrtex-A7; the Xiaomi 1S is equipped with the quad-core Conrtex-A35 which lowers consumption by 10%. Thanks to the newest gen of the processor, Xiaomi promises to reach 40% better performance.
Map saving. The new generation Xiaomi 1S has the ability to store maps in memory.
More suction. The newest generation has 2,000 Pa of suction while the Mi Robot - 1,800 Pa. It is enough to provide deep cleaning on low-pile carpets. The motor that delivers 2,000 Pa of suction is one of the strongest in the industry.
Xiaomi Ai speaker vs. Alexa integration. The oldest Xiaomi Mi Robot is compatible with Alexa-enabled devices and Google Home. The Xiaomi 1S is integrated with the Xiaomi AI speaker yet we hope the newest gen will be able to get compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home soon.
Let’s talk about the upgrades.
The Xiaomi 1S has a new processor which helps to scan the room faster making the map right after the cleaning starts. It also calculates the way of cleaning faster and finds a way to avoid an obstacle more efficiently.
Because of these upgrades, the 1S finishes cleaning quicker than the Mi Robot.
As no navigation, the 1S has more sensors that work together to ensure better navigation and obstacle avoidance making the robot gentle with furniture.
Both robots have about the same cleaning mechanics. None of it is capable of cleaning medium-pile carpets but both do a good job on low-pile ones. Tho the 1S does it slightly better because of having stronger suction.
As to hard floor cleaning, the Mi Robot, and 1S do the job better than an average robot vacuum on the market.
The Mi Home has: (for the 1S)
The Mi Robot lacks no-go zones, multifloor, and room cleaning. If you have a clean layout and don’t need to block the robot from going to certain places, the Mi Robot would be enough for you.
If you live in a cluttered place or just have some areas that need to be avoided by the robot, consider going with the 1S. It also can clean a certain room which is handy if you live in a big house and don’t need it to clean the whole place at once.
Both robots are lidar-guided. The Mi Robot has an old processor so map creating takes some time while the 1S maps faster. The MiJia 1S is also equipped with an optical sensor that recognizes doors location which further helps with room cleaning.
Each can be tracked in real-time which you can see in the app.
Both are capable of cleaning low-pile carpets but the 1S has stronger suction and performs better on carpets. Both do a decent job on hard floors as they have the same design cleaning brush and cleaning mechanics.
A large 5,200 mAh battery provides 2,5 hours of cleaning which is ideal for big homes. After cleaning, the robot returns to the dock to charge or resumes cleaning after recharging if it needs to finish the job.
The Mi Home app
Both robots have the same basic functions such as start and stop the robot, zoned cleaning, and scheduling.
The MiJia 1S has more extra features we have talked about above.
Both have the same 420 ml dustbin with a HEPA filter. It needs to be emptied after every cleaning.
