Saw a Xiaomi ‘smart’ ‘wireless’ robot vacuum/mop on AliExpress for about $30.00 so I ordered one. Currently in a dispute with AliExpress because it is a P.O.S. I could get cleaner floors by attaching a Swiffer pad to my dog. There is nothing ‘smart’ about this vacuum. As for being ‘wireless’ , my wallet and shoes are also ‘wireless’. This vacuum isn’t smart, it is stoopid.

It is about 2/3 the size and 1/10 the weight of the Wyze robot vac, and uses a simple drive mechanism. When the vac hits sonething, it reverses and turns. The cleaning is totally random, and as you can see, it got hung up on a simple transition from the bathroom to the hallway.
After a few emails with AliExpress, they refunded my purchase price. I gave it to Goodwill. Should have put a note with it that is is junk. Someone will buy it and think they really have something.
Reminds me when I was about 10. The cereal I ate had an offer where you sent in 4 million box tops or whatever and they sent you an electronic hockey game.
I remember the excitement when it arrived, almost like Ralphie with the decoder pin. The letdown was almost as bad. The game was nothing more than a piece of thin metal with a vibrating motor underneath. The hockey players had magnets on the bottom. The vibrating motor made the players go all over, with no control. I tossed it in the trash after about a minute.
