Xiaomi Xiaowa Roborock E352-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Lite

This review is dedicated to the new robot vacuum cleaner from Xiaomi – the Xiaowa Roborock E352-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Lite. The robot is very effective at cleaning rooms with various flooring types, easily navigates obstacles, and sucks up both small and larger debris. The main advantages of this robot vacuum cleaner are smartphone control and increased suction power at a relatively low price (approximately $190). We invite you to learn more about the device's features in our article.

Equipment

The device and its components are packaged in a simple cardboard box with a plastic handle for easy transportation. The Xiaomi Xiaowa Roborock E352-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Lite package includes the following items:

1. Robot vacuum cleaner.
2. Charging base.
3. Network adapter.
4. Spare filter.
5. Wet cleaning module with two wipes.
6. Brush for cleaning the robot.
7. Documentation.

Unfortunately, there's no motion limiter included. The robot vacuum also doesn't come with a remote control. Apparently, the manufacturer assumed smartphone control completely eliminated this option.

Appearance

Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners are round, and the Xiaowa Roborock E352-00 is no exception. However, this model's body is dark gray. This is a very attractive choice, as scratches and damage are more visible on a white body, while marks and stains are more visible on a black one. High-quality materials were used in the manufacture of this robot vacuum cleaner, so it should provide long, trouble-free service. The front view of the robot reveals a touchpad with three control buttons, a dust compartment cover, and a protruding sensor.

On the side there is a protective bumper, exhaust holes, and a connection/disconnection key.

The bottom of the robot vacuum cleaner contains a pair of toothed side wheels, a front swivel roller, a single side brush, a main turbo brush, a battery under the cover, and charging contacts on the docking station. The wet cleaning unit with a cleaning cloth can be attached to the bottom of the unit.

Functional capabilities

The Xiaomi Xiaowa Roborock E352-00 Robot Vacuum Cleaner Lite cleans a variety of surfaces using a single side brush and a central brush. The brushes sweep debris toward the suction channel, which then feeds it into the dust collector and filter. The robot vacuum's solid waste container has a 640 ml capacity, eliminating the need to empty it after each cleaning cycle (unless your room is extremely dirty).

This Xiaomi robot has increased suction power, allowing it to pick up not only fine dirt and dust but also heavy dirt and large debris. Pet hair and fur are also no problem for the Xiaowa Roborock E352-00. It has a separate small water tank that attaches to the bottom along with a cleaning cloth, allowing the device to clean your floors.

If the battery drops below 20% during operation, the robot vacuum will return to the docking station. Once charged to 80%, it will return to the last uncleaned area.

The Xiaomi Xiaowa Roborock E352-00's low height allows it to easily reach hard-to-reach areas and clean up debris. It can also climb up to two centimeters. The robotic vacuum cleaner uses IR sensors to prevent collisions with obstacles and falls from elevated surfaces.

The robot is controlled via a smartphone using the Mi Home app or buttons on the body. You can manage your robot vacuum both indoors and outdoors, schedule cleanings, and even check the current status of its consumables for replacement.

The Xiaowa Roborock E352-00 features modes such as Standard, Maximum, Powerful, and Quiet. The schedule feature lets you pre-select cleaning times and days.

In closing our review of the Xiaomi Xiaowa Roborock E352-00, we'd like to remind you that Xiaomi lacks proper customer support. Keep this in mind when ordering a robot vacuum cleaner from China.
