Xiaomi's best edge-mopping robot punches well above its suction spec on carpets, but a troubling water pump failure rate keeps it from an easy recommendation.
We watched the extendable mop arm reach into the gap between a baseboard and a bookcase, and the result was a clean line right up to the wall -- the closest edge mopping we have measured on any robot at this price. At 8,000Pa it looks weak on paper, yet Vacuum Wars recorded a 91% sand score -- fourth highest ever tested -- which suggests Xiaomi tuned the airflow path rather than just cranking the motor. Here is the catch. Multiple owners have reported water pump failures within the first year, and a dead pump turns your all-in-one dock into an expensive charging stand. If Xiaomi fixes the reliability, this becomes an easy recommendation. Until then, buy with a credit card that offers extended warranty protection.

Pros & Cons
What We Like
- + Extendable mop arm gets within 2mm of walls and baseboards — best-in-class edge mopping
- + 91% carpet sand pickup in Vacuum Wars testing ranks 4th all-time despite modest 8,000Pa suction
- + All-in-one dock with 55°C hot water mop wash, hot air drying, and 75-day auto-empty at a mid-range price
- + Structured light obstacle avoidance handles cables, shoes, and small objects reliably
What Could Be Better
- − 8,000Pa suction is below mid-range competitors — fine particles on thick carpet may remain
- − Multiple user reports of water pump failures within the first year raise durability concerns
- − 6.5-hour charge time is among the slowest in its class — overnight charging is a must
