In this ranking we will review, in my opinion, Best Xiaomi Robot Vacuums in 2023. We are talking about the Mijia factory, which is the main one within the company, because it is more objective, talking specifically about Xiaomi robots. I have chosen 7 best models, different in cost and purpose, which will allow you to choose the best Xiaomi robot vacuum for your own conditions and budget. Let’s go!
Xiaomi Mijia 2C
- Model: STYTJ03ZHM
- Navigation: Camera
- Battery: Li-Ion 3200 mAh
- Suction power: up to 2700 Pa
- Cleaning area: up to 150 sq.m.
- Dustbin: 500 ml
- Water tank: 250 ml
- Price: $200
Our rating is opened by the only robot vacuum cleaner within the TOP-7 with only a camera for navigation – Xiaomi Mijia 2C.
There are at least three reasons why this model can catch your attention. First – the camera is more reliable and durable, comparing with lidar. The second is a robot vacuum cleaner lower than models with lidar. Its height is only 8 cm from the floor, while lidar models are from 9.5 to 10 cm in height. Lowering the height allows the robot to drive under lower furniture, which increases the cleaning area. And, thirdly, robot vacuum cleaners with a camera for navigation, unlike almost all lidar ones, can clean behind curtains, pushing them to the wall. For many, this is a significant advantage.

So, speaking of Xiaomi Mijia 2C, a $200 robot vacuum cleaner can save a map in memory, which allows you to select cleaning areas and set restricted areas in the future. The cleaning module is represented by a six-beam side brush and a bristle-petal central one, behind which a nozzle with a mopping pad is installed. Xiaomi Mijia 2C can vacuum and mop the floor at the same time, boasts slightly increased suction power and good dry and wet cleaning. It also does a great job of cleaning carpets. The only remark to this model is that the robot is afraid of dark surfaces. Well, the Chinese version of the robot costs $200. In the global version, it already costs $245. Who is afraid of lidar and chooses a budget Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner, I definitely recommend this model for purchase.
Xiaomi Mijia 3C
- Model: B106CN
- Navigation: LIDAR
- Battery: Li-Ion 2600 mAh
- Suction power: up to 4000 Pa
- Cleaning area: up to 100 sq.m.
- Dustbin: 300 ml
- Water tank: 200 ml.
- Price: $220-250.
A bit more expensive, for $220-250 you can choose the most budgetary Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner with lidar for navigation. The model is called Mijia Vacuum 3C.
A strong hype was around this robot, they say, the best offer for the money. I don`t agree with this and in my review I explained why I think so. One of the reasons is that at the time of preparing the rating in the Mi Home application, when connecting this robot, the interface is completely in Chinese. Not even in English, and this can cause serious inconvenience. Everything is solved by installing third-party software, which even allows you to install a creative voice package. But not everyone is comfortable and able to do it.
Speaking of the robot, yes, it is lidar robot. So it saves several maps in memory, more accurately orients itself in space, and again, all important functions are available when working with a map. Including setting the cleaning parameters individually for each room. The cleaning module is represented by a side and a central brush. Behind it is a nozzle with a mopping pad. Mijia Vacuum 3C boasts the same real increased suction power as the 2C, as well as good dry cleaning performance on hard surfaces. It has problems cleaning carpets and wiping dirt, as well as driving through dark surfaces. I recommend this robot only if dry cleaning on hard surfaces is a priority and you are ready to dig deeper into the settings to fix the Chinese interface. In general, my subjective opinion is mixed, but many owners are satisfied with it, so I can say you can consider this model within the TOP-7 Best Xiaomi Robot Vacuums in 2023.

For navigation, in this robot is responsible the tandem of the camera and the ToF-sensor on the bumper to detect and accurately bypass objects on the floor. But this is not the most important thing. The main highlight of the robot is a height of 5.5 cm from the floor and this is one of the best indicators on the market. Thanks to its ultra-thin body, the robot can clean under low furniture. The application contains all the useful features when working with a saved map. Garbage collection is carried out by a side and central brush. There is also a nozzle with a mopping pad for wiping the floor.

The object detection system is also well implemented and the robot vacuum cleaner is able to go around household obstacles. The quality of dry cleaning is high, but there are some problems with cleaning carpets and wiping off dirt. Surprisingly, at such a low height, the robot has good maneuverability and is not afraid of dark surfaces. In general, it is mainly for cleaning on hard surfaces, and if there is a task to clean under furniture where it can crawl, and if necessary that the robot touches objects more carefully. Definitely the best slim robot vacuum on the market!

The next model in our TOP-7 can be confidently called one of the best robot vacuum cleaners for collecting hair and wool. This is Xiaomi Mijia Robot Vacuum-Mop Tangle-free Brush, which is in the middle price range and costs between $350 and $400.
The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a unique central brush with hidden blades that cut through the wool and hair wound on the shaft as the brush rotates. So wool and hair are practically not wound on the turbo brush and the maintenance of the robot is reduced to a minimum. On board this device has a lidar for navigation. In addition to the central brush, debris is also collected by the side brush. The kit includes a nozzle with a mopping pad for wet cleaning.
Speaking about the quality of cleaning, the robot has increased suction power. The quality of dry cleaning is high, and Xiaomi Mijia Robot Vacuum-Mop Tangle-free Brush effectively collects debris on both hard surfaces and carpets. Mopping is more like a bonus for collecting dust and small debris behind the brush. The robot is not capable of rubbing of the dirt. Well, the vacuum cleaner is afraid of dark surfaces, and avoiding them. This must be considered. In general, the device is quite interesting, but only if the main task is to collect wool and hair.
Xiaomi Mijia Vacuum Cleaner Pro MJSTS1

- Cleaning area: up to 250 sq.m.
- Dustbin: 550 ml
- Combined container: 300 + 260 ml.
- Price: $280-300.
But the bronze medalist of our rating, Xiaomi Mijia Vacuum Cleaner Pro MJSTS1, is produced in a more interesting way.
For $280-$300, this robot vacuum not only has lidar for navigation, but also a sensor system on the bumper to gently avoid objects on the floor. And these are not just sensitive sensors, but artificial intelligence. The robot does not just identify objects, but recognizes them by displaying the corresponding icons on the map. This is a big plus, comparing with analogues even from the Xiaomi line. The cleaning module is represented by a side and a central brush. There is also a nozzle for mopping, so Mijia Vacuum Cleaner Pro can vacuum and mop the floor at the same time. The suction power is quite standard, so it picks up debris well on hard surfaces, but it does not clean carpets perfectly. But on the other hand, there are less complaints about wet cleaning, the robot vacuum cleaner wipes dirt better and, when choosing the maximum level of water supply, wets the mopping pad abundantly. Another plus is that this model is not afraid of dark surfaces, driving freely on them. In general, for cleaning on hard floors, this is a very interesting robot, just because of the presence of an object recognition system.
Xiaomi Mijia Self-Cleaning Robot Vacuum-Mop Pro
- Model: STYTJO6ZHM
- Navigation: LIDAR
- Mopping pad rinsing station
- Battery: Li-Ion 5200 mAh
- Suction power: up to 3000 Pa
- Cleaning area: up to 200 sq.m.
- Dustbin: 450 ml
- Price: $500-575.
In second place of our rating is Xiaomi Mijia Self-Cleaning Robot Vacuum-Mop Pro. It belongs to the premium price segment, because its costs is from 500 to 575$.
The robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with a mopping pad rinsing station and two rotating disks with round mopping pads. So it can no longer be positioned simply as a robot for dry and wet cleaning, but as a washing robot vacuum cleaner or at least a high-quality floor polisher. Another advantage of the robot is the D-shaped body, thanks to which it sweeps debris in the corners better. The central brush is elongated. In tandem with a side brush, it does a good job of dry cleaning, as well as carpet cleaning. Suction power is quite standard, but given that the Mijia Self-Cleaning Robot Vacuum-Mop Pro is more suitable for wet cleaning, this power will be more than enough for him. Well, mopping at a high level. Mopping pads can wipe off dirt and, most importantly, to perform high-quality wet cleaning over large areas, with periodic rinsing at the station. The only moment is that the mopping pads do not rise when driving on carpets and this should be considered. But this robot is not afraid of dark surfaces, which is a plus. To sum up, it is one of the best robot vacuum cleaners with a mopping pad rinsing station in 2022 if your budget is around $500.
Xiaomi Mijia Omni Robot Vacuum-Mop B101CN/1S
- Model: B101CN/1S
- Navigation: LIDAR + AI
- Station for rinsing mopping pads and self-cleaning.
- Battery: Li-Ion 5200 mAh
- Suction power: up to 4000 Pa
- Cleaning area: up to 200 sq.m.
- Dustbin: 350 ml
- Water tank: 80 ml.
- Price: $700-815.
The first place is shared by two almost identical models – Xiaomi Mijia Omni Robot Vacuum-Mop B101CN and the new Mijia Omni 1S.
The main difference between the models: the new 1S has a tank with detergent in the station, as well as an optionally available module for connecting the station to the sewerage and water supply.
Otherwise, apparently, the robots are identical. But there is still a price difference. The Mijia B101CN costs between $700 and $750 with shipping, while the OMNI 1S with utility connection module starts at $815 at the time of preparing this review. Overpay or not for a new station, you decide. If the detergent tank is still an argument, then connecting the hoses will not be convenient in every layout with a complete apartment design, and this is a fact. Otherwise, both robots are equipped with a station for rinsing mopping pads and self-cleaning the dust container. Well, the robots, as I understand, are completely identical. They are equipped with lidar and a sensor system to detect objects on the floor. The cleaning module is represented by a side and a central brush, behind which are placed two rotating microfiber cloths. These wipes can automatically rise when driving on carpets, which allows the robot to perform both dry and wet cleaning, leaving carpets dry and clean.
Well, speaking about the quality of cleaning, Mijia B101CN showed high suction power on the stand, good quality of dry cleaning both on hard surfaces and on carpets. Well, mopping is well implemented in this model. And no less important – the robot is not afraid of dark surfaces. So, the result is a very neat, universal and efficient robot vacuum cleaner for high-quality cleaning on large areas. Without a doubt, Mijia Omni B101CN and Omni 1S are the best Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners in 2023 (January) and you should choose between them only based on whether you really need a connection to the sewer and water supply, or this option is extra and you should not overpay for it.
