Xiaomi Xiaowa E202-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Today's review focuses on the Xiaowa E202-00, a third-generation robotic vacuum cleaner from the renowned Chinese manufacturer, Roborock, under the Xiaomi brand. Released in 2018, this robot features a simplified design, package, and features compared to its predecessors, reducing the overall price to $160. A special test shows that the device is capable of quickly and efficiently cleaning any type of flooring, including carpets, which robotic cleaners despise. The robotic vacuum cleaner automatically increases suction power when cleaning carpets, enabling it to clean them quite effectively. It can also mop the floor with a damp cloth, which is automatically supplied with water from a reservoir (which must be manually attached to the bottom of the unit). Despite its low price, the Xiaomi Xiaowa E202-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner offers many other advantages, which we'll discuss below.

Design

The Xiaowa E202-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner features Xiaomi's signature design. Its body is made of white plastic and shaped like a puck; viewed from above, the robot appears perfectly round. The front panel features a control panel with three main buttons and a lid that reveals a 640-milliliter dust container.

On the side of the robot vacuum cleaner there is a protective bumper with sensors that recognize obstacles in the path in the form of furniture, walls and other interior items, as well as ventilation holes.
