Xiaomi's most capable robot vacuum yet — a feature-packed package with retractable LiDAR and smart cameras, held back only by limited US availability.
The triple-camera obstacle avoidance is the standout in our hands-on time -- we scattered charging cables, socks, and a dog toy across the floor, and the 5 Pro navigated around every single one without contact. It checks every flagship box: retractable LiDAR, 200+ object recognition, a 5MP lens that doubles as a pet monitor, and an extending mop arm for edge work. The problem is geography. Unless you live in Europe or select Asian markets, you cannot buy this robot through official channels, which means no local warranty and no easy returns. For EU buyers willing to live within the Xiaomi ecosystem, it represents serious value against Dreame and Ecovacs flagships priced $200-400 higher.

Pros & Cons
What We Like
- + Retractable dToF radar lowers robot profile to 9.5cm for cleaning under low furniture
- + AI triple-camera system recognizes 200+ obstacle types for reliable avoidance
- + Extendable mop and side brush arms reach into edges and corners other robots miss
- + 80°C hot water mop washing with separate clean/dirty tanks keeps pads genuinely clean
- + 5MP HD camera doubles as a pet monitor with real-time remote viewing
- + AI dirt detection identifies 47 stain types and adjusts scrubbing intensity accordingly
What Could Be Better
- − Not officially available in the US — limited to EU and select Asian markets for now
- − Carpet cleaning underwhelms at default suction; needs max power for deep cleaning
