A professional review, which makes your choice easier. It has covered everything the robots do. Great job! It also clarified my biggest question - the Xiaomi support didn't helped. I own both models (the C1 was first) and I've been trying everything to make the G1 remember the map, activate the option with the virtual walls, not knowing that it doesn't have this option. It is not broken.

Thank you for an incredibly informative video! I was determined to buy 1C before watching your video, but after seeing pros and cons for both robots, decided that either would fit my needs (and G1 is significantly cheaper). However, after reading the comments, I'm on the fence again! Oh, the suffering of making the right decision. :D Anyway, I wanted to ask if anyone had any problems with leaking water containers as I read that this is a reported issue on some of the models? Thank you.

Thank you! I haven't experienced any issues with G1 water tank leaking. The 1C received an update recently and can recognize and clean selected rooms. If you don't need this feature, the G1 should suit your needs.

@smart robot reviews: is it worth to pay more like double of Xiaomi 1C for one of those you tested regarding cleaning quality? Roborock S5 Max vs. Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Mop P Detailed Comparison kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIfZaWCYZZJ1Z8U

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi there, thank you. It depends. For bigger homes with a complex layout, I would go for a Lidar-based one like the Roborock S5 Max. As to vacuuming performance, they are equally the same with the Mo Pro being slightly worse but much better at mopping. The mopping design of the S5 Max is better than the Xiaomi's ones too. Besides, the 1C has a small battery, it hardly covers my 70 sq m place (about 50 sq m of the cleaning area) on Max mode so only for studio apartments. So in short yes, I would pay more for a Roborock or Mop P depending on what you are looking for in a robot vacuum

[@Schmazuro]

@@SmartRobotReviews Thank you for your recommendation. I have an 61 m² appartment, most surfaces without carpets. available surface to clean i would guess like 30 m², i dont know exactly :) The Roborock S5max is actually available for 317€ and the Xiaomi Mi Mop Pro for 214€ Then best offer Mi Mop Pro comparing benefits and price and my situation? i dont really want to pay more than 214€ as its still just vacuum cleaning and maybe using Mop for me. So if vacuum cleaning is already good and mopping is ok, then its enough for me.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

@@Schmazuro Well, if you don't have carpets all of these would be totally fine for your place. The Roborock does not leak and has a water-proof mat so more convenient to use but the Mop P is also ok if you don't have a base on a floor that might be damaged by the leaking water tank. The vacuuming performance of the Mop P on hard floors are just fine so if you don't want to pay more, maybe go for this one. The 1C is good as a vacuum but the Mop P is better as a mop. There is a Xiaomi 2C has been released, very similar to the 1C but has a bigger battery.

[@Schmazuro]

@@SmartRobotReviews Thank you for your experience. Actually i have tiles in bathroom as usuall an in the rest of the apartment there is a glued finyl floor. But the vacuum robot should of course not really leak... is is a problem while it is in the charging station or it happens only while its cleaning?

@@SmartRobotReviews I finnaly got the g1!!! it was amazing

[@deeepraveen]

What’s is the difference between having 1 brush vs 2 brush ? Thanks

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I prefer robots with one side brush. Cheaper replacement as you need only one brush and they scatter debris less than robots with two brushes. The main purpose of side brushes is cleaning corners and along the walls, and one brush doing as good job as two brushes considering that robots with smart navigation go only in one direction near walls and corners. That's why even most expensive robots may have only one side brush.

[@potatoetheking2828]

G1 is nice if you want to do carpet cleaning on one day, and mopping on another day. Doing both at same day will require to run the device on the entire house twice (since you can't mop while carpets are on). With C1, you can select carpet areas in the map to use high suction on, and when it finishes these areas - then let it mop the entire house. More efficient than G1 if you want to do both at same day. The detachable side tips are sooo good on G1. I have long hair, it gets stuck to the sides on the C1 every time and it is just impossible to remove the hair from there. I gave up, there is just hair on both sides and the only thing I can do is to accept it. Xiaomi vacuum lineup is soo weird. There are things on G1 that are better than C1, and there are things on C1 that are better than the pro module. But in overall im very happy with the C1 (I found zoned cleaning and virtual walls to be very handy to use).

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Agree, the G1 has some features the others do not such as carpet identification and side tips removal. I, too, prefer removable side tips. It takes more time to get rid of hair on the edges. That solid brush in the 1C is soo frustrating. But other than that, I find the 1C to be a very good robot, especially for the price. Cleaning performance on par with most expensive robots, the map is more or less accurate, navigation is good too :)

[@elinak4469]

Is there any vacuum cleaner that lets you vacuum and then mop without having to change tanks or manually attach things ?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

The Roborock S7 lifts up the mopping pad when vacuums carpets. But this is probably the only model that makes mopping and vacuuming more convenient but you still need to wash the cloth

[@notneo7898]

Fantastic comparison! I feel like the G1 mopping system is better because you can leave the water in without worry. With the C1, you always have to attach and remove the mop as it doesn't have a pump. Am I right?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thank you! The 1C has an electric water pump too, there is a small electric motor inside the water tank, while in the G1 the motor is located inside the robot. Not sure if it is better to have the water pump inside the robot or inside the water tank.

Hi. Great video. I went for the G1 since its half the price than 1C here in Mexico but Im close to regret since its kind of dumb mapping a small 70 m2 department. Sometimes it gets stuck just in front of a furniture legs. Some other times it goes like a headless chicken, passing two or three times by the same space and never going to others. Also it says in the handbook there is an option to send it to a specific spot but I havent found it at the app.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi Jose, the G1 mapping is not as advanced as the 1C indeed which you can see in the video. It might mess the map so it thinks it didn't clean a specific spot when in reality it did. As to sending the robo to a specific spot I think it means you can manually send it via a remote control feature. Since the G1 does not save a map, it doesn't know where you want it to send so only by using the remote control I believe.

[@jmruix]

@@SmartRobotReviews oh, I'd buy 1c then :(

Great review! I have 1C over a year now, its a great robot. Now I would like to buy another one and was thinking about the 1G. The 1G does look more suffisticated and cleverly made, but is it worth to save 25% of pricew over the 1C considering its better navigation

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thanks! I don't know, the G1 is a good robot vacuum for the price, it's cheap and performs good. It is not as precise as the 1C in terms of navigation. I would say if your layout is clean, go for the 1G. Besides, in this scenario you'd be able to compare the two

Great video and comparison between the two robots I have the G1 I bought that one because it is very good with cat hair and I have two cats one is a rag doll and they are inside cats my whole house is tiled except for my 4 bedrooms which are carpeted I like how the G1 picks up in suction the minute it goes into the carpet areas in my bedroom. The battery lasts just long enough to do all the tiled areas and my own bedroom with carpet then into the tiled ensuite bathroom then it goes back to the charging dock it won’t do the other 3 carpeted bedrooms but those doors are always closed and if I need to do them I’ll take it into the room and close the door till it does them. I think these machines are one of the best pieces of technology ever made I am surprised every day when I empty it how much cat hair actually falls onto the floor that you can’t see even though the floor looks clean definitely the best money I ever spent it cost me $319.00 Australian dollars I’m probably going to get another one to lessen the load I haven’t tried the mopping yet so looking forward to that thanks again for one of the best reviews cheers 🍻👍

Might be carpeted surface where the robot messes up the map. The wheels spin a bit too fast on something which leads to merging the map. Happened with me on cluttered areas. You can try to change the docking station location so when the robot returns to the dock, it doesn't go over that area... Or track the place the robot messes up the map so you know what caused that.

where do you buy replacements for the g1? I could only mostly find 1c replacements

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Try to look out on Aliexpress. I'm not sure there are original parts tho.

[@ninjatunar4519]

sadly aliexpress doesn't deliver door to door in my area shopee and lazada are my only options :((

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Oh I don't know then 🙄

Thanks for watching :)

You are the best! Thanks alot! Спасибо!

Best review channel ever, Thanks. Did you use 1c in turbo mode? I've also watched your comparison video with Mop Pro model. 1c does better job even it is cheaper. So you are testing them all with maximum suction, right? Im asking because, i am disappointed with cleaning performance of Vacuum Mop Pro after watching your detailed review. Thanks for video and Thanks in advance for answer

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thank you! Yes, I tested them all in max suction mode. The Mop Pro has much better navigation than the 1C and performs good on hard floors, but there is some issue with carpets, it really performs worse even than some much cheaper models. The same issue with carpets I've seen with the Viomi V2 which has almost identical design and features as the Mop Pro. Maybe the roller brush doesn't make enough pressure on the carpet so it can't agitate the debris to the dustbin.

Hello. Thank you for your video. I have a couple of questions, would appreciate if you can help: 1. Do both robots vacuum AND mop at the same time? Or you need to select vacuum and mop differently? 2. What are the main differences with the G1 and the 1C/C1? We want to buy but we're not sure what to choose. Our living room is a bit straightforward. Thank you 😊

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hello Paolo, thank you. 1. Both robots do vacuum and mop at the same time 2. The G1 lasts longer on max mode. Its map is not as accurate which you can see on the video. It has carpet identification and the cleaning brush has detachable tips. Its navigation is worse tho and it bumps into things a bit more often than the 1C does. As to cleaning performance both do the job equally good. I would say for mostly carpets, the 1C would need to work on max mode for the best results and it only can do up to 40 minutes but if your place is not big, that would be enough. It is also better in homes with more furniture. If you want to get a cheaper model, go with the G1, it is a good one too. Does that help?

[@paolo0425]

@@SmartRobotReviews Thank you for your response. It helped...but at the same time it didn't. You have no fault whatsoever. It's just confusing as to which one is better to buy. Each one has its own pros and cons. I would've liked the 1C but the thing I don't like is the non removable brush roller. Since hair can be everywhere, the fact that you're not going to be able to remove them makes me think less in buying the 1C. 🤷🏻‍♂️😕

[@SmartRobotReviews]

@@paolo0425 If that makes a bigger difference to you than navigation that is fairly good but not as good as the 1C then go for the G1. Personally, I would not be ok with a solid brush too

[@markizord]

@@paolo0425 you can remove the hair. Xiaomi gives you a cleaner brush, with a built in blade to cut the hair :)

Hi, thanks for the AWESOME review. I guess you had to dedicate a lot of time to put all those detailed information together. It really helps a LOT! I have one doubt you may help clarify: my house has 2 floors. Do you know how 1C mapping feature works in this case? Thanks a million!

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi Anno, the 1C has a small battery which is hardly enough to cover even my small apartment. On Max mode, it would clean around 40 sqm. There is another models, the 2C, it has a bigger battery so is more suitable for larger places. As to mapping, the 1C saves one map but when it cleans the second floor, it rebuilt another map. When you run the 1C on the first floor again, it would restore the map it saved. So basically you can run the robot on two floors but a saved map would be only one.

[@AnoMundi]

Thank you so very much! You clarified everything. Again, thanks for sharing this great content! All the best for you.

Can you use them and plan the days of cleaning if you have no WiFi?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

No, unfortunately, scheduling can be set only via the app which requires a wi-fi router to connect to the robot.
