- App is still in need of improvement

![In Depth Review of Mi Robot Vacuum 2 [Roborock S50/Roborock Sweep One Vacuum Cleaner]](https://www.techreviewer.de/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fvx_P_bFhWWE%2F0.jpg)
The Xiaomi vacuum robot in 2. Generation?
Alone at the sight of the design of the Roborock Sweep One you might think that this is a successor of the first Xiaomi Suction Robot concerns. In fact, however, it is a crowdfunding financed robotic vacuum cleaner that is not produced and distributed directly by Xiaomi but by Roborock. If you take a look at the official Mi website, you will not find any information about the Roborock Sweep One despite the recent release.
The similarity of both models comes from the fact that Roborock already has the Xiaomi suction robot produced, but this was marketed by Xiaomi itself. This approach by Xiaomi is not uncommon, the electronics giant has already in the past produce products from various producers and only provided with the Mi logo. With the Roborock Sweep One, you get a product without the Mi logo, which, however, is based on the quality standards of the original Xiaomi robotic vacuum cleaner.
New design and higher suction power
Well, so much has not changed in the design now. The robotic vacuum cleaner is still round and continues to rely on a typical white case with an orange accent. It is striking that the Ragefinder on the top of the device moved towards the center and the vacuum robot now with 3 rearranged control buttons Is provided.
Also available is the extensive sensor technologywhich includes an 360 ° laser sensor or range finder, multiple infrared and ultrasonic sensors, a gyroscope, an e-compass, and an accelerometer.
The suction power has also increased. The intake capacity of the first Xiaomi Suction Robot was still at 1800 Pa. The Roborock Sweep One is included 2000 Pa, At the same time that became capacity the removable dust container increases. This one sums up 0.48 literSo 0.6 liters more than the original Xiaomi suction robot, Carpet edges should now no longer be fatal. Here is the Threshold or rise height on 2 cm (compared to 1.5 cm) increased.
wiping function
An extensive innovation is the Wet wipe function of the Roborock Sweep One. For this purpose, the robot vacuum cleaner is delivered with a small water container including a microfiber wipe. Attached to the bottom, the Roborock vacuum robot can vacuum and wipe wet at the same time. The wiping duration with one tank filling, 45 can be up to 60 minutes. For easy cleaning, both the tank and the wipe can be separated separately from the vacuum cleaner.
Smaller charging station, same app
What stands out is that clearly smaller charging station the Roborock Sweep One. As a result, you have more latitude in the placement of the station, at the same time the vacuum robot must navigate more precisely to the charging station. Initial reports from China report, however, that the autonomous navigation of Sweep One is extremely accurate and the device with the "Return to Home" Function the older one Xiaomi suction robot in no way inferior.
The capacity of the battery is 5200 mAh and is sufficient for an 2 1 / 2 hourly runtime, which roughly corresponds to the cleaning of a 250 m² apartment. It is surprising that the app control continues over the “Mi Home” app Although the Roborock vacuum robot is not really a Xiaomi product. There are no new features regarding the app. Among other things, schedules can be configured via the app, the suction robot can be controlled manually and the graphically generated room plan created by the sensor system can be displayed graphically.

You can also operate the vacuum robot without an app. There are three control buttons on the top of the teat. However, to be able to use all functions, especially to create room and time schedules and make settings, you need the Android or iOS app. These can be conveniently downloaded for free in the respective App Store.
Yes! You can connect the vacuum robot with the Google Assistant, Alexa and the Apple Homekit.
Google Assistant
To control it, you need the Google Home app. Within the app you add a new service. Search for the "Mi Home" service and select it. Afterwards you will be asked to log in with your Mi Home data. Once a connection is made, you can assign the vacuum robot to different rooms. You can then control the Roborock vacuum robot by voice command.
Alexa
Download the Roborock Home Skill and link your Mi account. You can then switch the vacuum robot on and off by voice command.
Apple home kit

What's the difference between the International and Upgraded versions?
Hi, the difference will be that an English manual will be included instead of a Chinese manual.
“China costs around 2499 yuan for the device, which is roughly € 318. A release date is not yet known, "
What is it just to wait, unless you pay sometimes over 100 € too much for any ominous Preorder so that the device may eventually be delivered (you know from Gearbest of about all other Preorder actions)
Hello techreviewer, has your review device already arrived? I ordered at GearBest on the 09.11 and my Roborock was shipped on the 15.11. I have a tracking number for Hermes, which I can track. Since mid-November, however, is there that the Saugi has not yet arrived in the distribution center? How long does it take? The must at Christmas namely under the tree!
Ours has come today and experienced the same when sending, obviously people are just ripping around the robot vacuum cleaner. And I have to say, except for a few problems installing the app, I'm very happy.
Important! When the app necessarily specify China Mainland with Europe, etc., it does not work.
Hi Mephisto, Hi easyfly,
our test copy has also been on the road since 14.11. Also sent by GearBest. Currently, just about every order from China has a crude maturity. It's not just GearBest that's affected by it, but really all shipments from China, no matter which shipping service provider. I suppose your Roborock Sweep One and our test copy will arrive this week, at the beginning of next week at the latest. Orders sent between the 09.11-13.11 have already been delivered or will be delivered the next few days. For the weekend then the orders should be after the 13.11's turn.
Hello, I just don't look through all these names anymore. I want to buy the Roborock vacuum robot. Now I read something about Roborock S50 here and there, then Roborock Sweep One, then again Xiaomi vacuum robot 2nd generation ... I just want to buy the successor to the first Xiaomi vacuum robot and nothing wrong. Now which is the right one?
Hi Heribert, I have to agree with you that the terms have become quite confusing. Roborock Sweep One / Roborock S50 are both the same model. The Roborock S55 would be something else, but there is no information about it yet. Many sites advertise the vacuum robot with the XIaomi addition, since Roborock produced the first Xiaomi vacuum robot, among other things. Hence the similarity. So if you also find the Saugi as “Xiaomi VAC 2nd Generation”, it should be the new one from Roborock. Visually, you can also see the difference from the offset laser tower and the other control buttons. I hope I could help you with your question.
Thanks, I have now ordered the Roborock S50 from GearBest. That should be the right model then. greetings
Great review, but I still have some questions that you can hopefully help me with!
1. Does the Roborock drive over carpets, even if you have the mop on it and does it also suck at the same time?
2. Is there a way to change the battery?
3. Are the Xiaomi robotic parts compatible with the Roborock?
4. Is the app Chinese or English?
Thanks and LG
Hi Benjamin, of course I can answer your questions.
1. Yes, unfortunately carpets are not avoided with docked water tank.
2. With the first model, it was possible with knowledge to swap the battery. I guess the structure has hardly changed, so I assume that it will be possible with the new Roborock.
3. Many spare parts are compatible. See brushes etc.
4. The app is in both Chinese and English. You can put the voice prompts in English.
Thanks for your answers. Helped me a lot !! But I have one more question, Does the door also crumbles?
Hello, I have heard in a video that the Rovorock S50 drives back to its station after a long tour and recharges, but then does not start again to clean more not yet cleaned surfaces. Is that really the case or is it not true? Or. was it really that way and has been fixed by means of an update now?
Thank you very much
