- Keeping your home clean is not an easy task. Kids running around dropping things. Teenagers eating with no plate. Excitement over sport and the snacks go flying. Life is messy. And busy. And we often don’t have the time to get on our hands and knees to clean our homes. I am sure by now you have heard about Robot Vacuums. They go around our homes, on their own, and pick up after us. Just like a good robot should. Xiaomi, who is no stranger to Smart Appliances for the home, have a range of Smart Vacuum Robots to keep your home (or office) clean. We have been sent the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S10+ by Xiaomi South Africa to see what the fuss is all about. Let’s get into it!

Very detailed review, congratulations and thank you!
Thanks so much
Hi. Very accurate review. I have a question. Is it possible to deactivate washing in the settings? Thanks
Yes it is
Hi, thanks so much. Yes you can set it not to use the water mode.
@@ThatCapeTownGuy does it retract the mops higher when washing is deactivated ? thanks
Hi, what is the height of the charging dock? I wanna park the vaccum under the couch there is 11,5 cm room (height) under the couch.
Hi regarding the water tank, does the robot tells you when it is time to refill the tank with a live water indicator or something or do you need to check the tank by yourself?
I think you will need to do it manually. But it's really quick to check
Hi, thanks for review! Does vacuum cleaner work with water tank removed? Does water mopping mode turn on/off automatically when discs are installed/removed? Thanks!
When run vacuum cycle, you choose between normal or mopping mode. That's basically how you choose. You can also let the map know which areas are carpets so they don't get wet. I'm not sure if it will work with tank removed. Thanks
@@ThatCapeTownGuy Thanks for answer! Basically I meant whether it is possible to run vacuum mode when water tank is removed. I assume it should be possible as water tank and dust container are separated…
@tomaspavel, I've just purchased one and sure you have already solved for yourself but for anyone else wondering... If you detach the 2 mops holders, it only gives you the option to vacuum. My water tank was still present but empty
Yes, option is enabled and disabled with the presence of the mop pad holders
@@natashalanghein1282 have you tried it on long-pile carpets ? does it still vacuum if it has the pads mop pads attached ? Does it know to not release water if it gets to a carpet ? I've read other reviews saying it avoids carpets all together if it has the mops attached.
Thanks for the detailed video and the answers! Is there an option for the robot (during ONE cleaning cycle) to vacuum and mop the floors, but when it comes to the carpet to turn off the mopping, but to continue vacuuming? I don't want him to avoid the carpet, I just want him to vacuum and mop the floors in one cleaning, and only vacuum the carpet. Is that possible? Thanks in advance!
yes you can use the map to tell it which areas are carpets.
3 month later after release of this video(its hard to find english review of this specific model),I have few questions if you don't mind:
1) are you still using it?
2) what do you think of the performance after 3 month of use?
3) can the water tank fill with mop liquid mix with water or it'll damage the vacuum? (need the floor smell nice as well)
1) my dog was too scared so not at present
3) I don't think its recommended. But check on it
@@ThatCapeTownGuy 2) ?
1) I have it for 2 months now and I use it pretty much every single day. It does the job. I have two dogs in the house (hence the everyday use) and I use it only on hard floor (laminate and tiles), no carpets. The fact that it's vacuuming AND mopping gives a pretty good result. Only thing is that my laminate floors are "cherry" color and the mop pads leave marks on it, which actually is not nice to see, while on tile you see nothing.
2) the performance is the same as the first day. It does the job well and the LIDAR is very clever and precise. Even if I move things around, if there is a way to go through, it will go. It does not rely on the mapping alone.
3) It's mentioned on the tank that you should NOT use any detergents. I guess that after a while it will probably block the tiny holes the water goes through. Since you have to wet the mops every time before use, try to soak them in water with detergent and rinse them. This way you don't risk to block the tubes.
@@dooxietoto thanks for this very useful description, best regards!
very nice video
Thanks so much, took me ages to edit!
hi, i have this very important question. been looking for the answer everywhere. how do we do when my house have multiple levels. to i bring the dock to each level?
or i can simply lift and place it ?
I think you would need to take the vacuum to the next level, and map it out. I am not sure if you will need the dock there too.
I had three S10+.
The first was capable of doing different floors, and yes, if the floor exceeds the battery capacity, you have to move the dock or put the robot a second time to the other floor - or buy an additional dock. But the 2nd and 3rd s10+. were not capable of doing multible floors. Instead they crash their maps, so even cleaning by timetable was not possible anymore. Same thing happyend, if there were bigger changings in the first floor map, like a open door to a bigger closet. 😖 No support by xiaomi.
Is it possible to just vacuum when the mop pads are installed? Or do you have to remove them if you dont want it to mop?
Yes it's possible, just don't wet them and set the vacuum to vacuum mode.
@@ThatCapeTownGuy For me it seems to gray out the basic vacuum option if the mops are installed, leaving the vacuum&mopping as the only choice.
@@kustu I found out that you have to remove also the plastic discs that hold the mopping pads...then you can choose vacuum only option...they should have written it somewhere, I didnt know they can be removed as they came already installed
Hi. Great review. How does it deal with dog hair? More specifically, long hair.
Hi, thank you. So my dog got so scared that I haven't been using it much, and she has short hair. Maybe check on TH-cam if anyone mentions long haired dogs.
Thanks for review. How often do mop bases have to be washed during mopping?
I don't think ever during a wash, just after?
I received the robot yesterday and I want to ask : does it recognize when it's on a carpet and turns off the mopping function on its own? I ask because it doesn't mention anything like that anywhere in the user manual. Also, should I let the robot map the house before or after laying down the carpets? During the summer, I remove them. Thank you
Yes it does recognize carpets, but what you can do is once mapped you can note on the map which area has carpets. I would maybe create two maps, a summer and winter map
When I ask same qn to the sales man, he said it automatically detect and avoid mopping on this area, and there is an option on app to tick or untick this option.
Do you have any idea how I can change the cleaning mode in the app? Because in my case, only the "vacuuming and mopping" mode is available. The "Vacuuming" mode is greyed out.
That is odd, did you install the brushes?
@@ThatCapeTownGuy everything is installed. And I looked around in the comments and apparently I have to remove the two mops to have that option valid.
Hi s10 and s10 plus. Any big difference? Should I go for the plus ? Thanks
Hi, does the S10 have mop pads?
i jumped to the video at minute 35:30 and waited for the robot to pick up the small debris, and it did a 50% job. Is it seriously not able to even pick the biggest things? Isn't that a bit disappointing?
It does need to do a few passes
No it picks always the things but needs to check many times like 5 10 minutes for a room
Thank you for the review! Do I need to wet the mop pads everytime before I want to mop the floor?
Yes you should from what I understand
Dear Sir, in this case what is the purpose of the water container? I thought that wetting is done automatically using the water from the container.@@ThatCapeTownGuy
Theres no illustration of what the white color square box next to it for?
Do you mean the water fountain? I have a video review of it?
I've tried to search for Multi level floor function but could find it... will yo be reviewing that feature as well...?
I think for that, you just need to create a map of the second floor and take the vacuum there
Have you found it yet?
Hi
what is function of both buttons ” Restricted area ” ?
my robot avoids cleaning the selected area by these two buttons!
Restricted area - means the robot won't go clean those areas?
Thank you for the review. I'm a bit perplexed by Xiaomi's naming conventions and the multitude of models they offer. So, which is the top-tier model regardless of the price? Is it the S7 MaxV Ultra, S8 Pro Ultra, or another one? The other two appear to have more impressive docking stations, but it's only logical that the S10 should outperform the S8 and S7. I'm feeling quite confused about this.
Not gonna lie, it is very confusing. I would try find a comparison sheet with features? Thank you!
S7 MaxV Ultra, S8 Pro Ultra are roborock, not xiaomi. also thought they were the same, but googled it. It seems xiaomi invested in roborock, but they are different
Does this allow you to live view on the phone through the camera like other models?
I never came across that feature, so I doubt it.
Does that vacuum cleaner have support for a Apple home kit?
Not too sure, sorry. Maybe this will help: th-cam.com/video/NtTXIRHcqS8/w-d-xo.html
If i was abit confused between this model of xiaomi or eufy x8 pro which one would u recommend for me to buy?
I haven't seen the eufy x8 pro , is there a big price difference?
I tried to deactivate the 5 Ghz network and keep only the 2.4 on. Regardless, I still can't find any network during the robot configuration. Any idea how to troubleshoot?
I am having trouble with one of my Xiaomi fans, I think perhaps changing the wifi channel and adjusting the mac filtering option may work, still need to try it.
thank you. do you know if there is any guide around? I getting crazy@@ThatCapeTownGuy
Hi! Do the mopping pads go up when the vacuum climbs on a carpet?
The pads don't lift on this mode, it does on the X10+ model. But it can detect carpets so it won't apply water.
@@ThatCapeTownGuy with the mops attached if it encounters carpets, does it just not apply water or does it avoid the carpet ? I've read some reviews saying you have to remove the mops to use it without mopping.

After the robo vacuum fully charged, do you need to turn off the plug or will the robot auto stop charging?
It will stop charging at the base
Do you recommend this over the X10 ?
I think the difference is that the X10 comes with the doc that auto cleans for you?
@@ThatCapeTownGuy not that big of a difference, thanks
The current firmware of the S10+ (4.3.3_1305) is not able to manage multiple cards. If a different environment than the first map is detected, the device tries to create a second map and thus overwrites the first map.
Consequence: No time-controlled cleaning without a card. A replacement device has the same error.
i.e. It is actually only possible to clean one floor. Simply attempting to clean a second one results in data loss and a complete reinstallation. I don't know if Dreame's S10 clones are also affected by this. I now have the third S10+ within 4 months and despite several requests there is no support from Xiaomi support.
Sorry to hear
I'm about to buy it. I was wonder if you have place its dock to the second floor?
If it worked at the moment, you would only have to move the dock if the battery capacity is not enough for the whole floor. My first S10+ could save both, an additional map with or without the dock. The devices after that crashed in both scenarios. Even if the door to a storage room that was not yet present in the saved map was open, ALL maps were then junk.
I've been searching but I can't find the answer. On the map screen top right there are 2 buttons. The top one I know is for area clean but can anyone tell me what the second one does (looks like a map pin)
What time in my video do you see it?
@@ThatCapeTownGuysorry my bad. I don't think the S10+ has the same map screen as the S10.
I can't find any reference to that button anywhere and it's driving me mad.
@gumdrop12, is it not a spot cleaning function. So if you spilled coffee, you send to that spot vs it cleani6yhe full room. I am looking for this for the s10+. Would be great for pieces of dirt missed in first run too
@@natashalanghein1282 it might be. I thought that's what the rectangle button is for.
i have questions,
you have a dog in the house, will the robot vacuum spilled water or poop from your dog ? or will it recognize the object and not vacuum it ?
I think wee yes, but poo would be an obstacle..
In shopee, the good review is overwhelming good and mostly pointed out on the good suction,looking at 35.55 onward its say otherwise
Thank you
does it rise the mops when on carpets?
You can set it not to let water out through the pads when you don't want it too.
Why the mop is rotating on the carpet? It doesn't detect carpets?
It can
@@ThatCapeTownGuy So why it is moping the carpet? Did you wanted that?
I have this model but I can't activate the vacuuming mode it only work on vaccum and mopping. And when the robot keep avoiding the carpet my app and the firmware is up to date. Do you know what can i do
I am not too sure, have you tried resetting perhaps? I could use both modes
Hi, remove not only the mopping pads but also the plastic discs that hold them....then the option will come up
@@luciatothova3435 thanks it worked
I thought you don't mop your carpet, just parquet floor?
I didn't use the mop mode on the carpet, only the tiles.
The robot hits some places, what should I do ?
Did you move things around? Maybe do a remapping?
I am not able to connect my phone to the device. Any suggestions?
I think it is your internet, make sure it is not 5G, that may help
Roborock s7 or Xiaomi S10+?
I don't know it
How about multi storey house?
Smart lift?
My Xiaomi S10 is not working. I can't get anything done with maps. Everytime I want to do something with maps or restricted walls nothing happens except that the app says "Poor Connection try again later". After two days I went to exchange it for another Xiaomi S10 but it does exactly the same thing. All that works correctly is "Docking" and "Start Cleaning". When pushing "Start Cleaning" it tries to clean the whole house until the battery runs out halfway through and then docks to recharge. After it's fully charged and you take it off pause it just starts cleaning from the beginning again and never gets to the rest of the house. This Xiaomi S10 vacuum cleaner is useless. It seems as if the app is not compatible with the vacuum cleaner. I see everywhere on the internet that clients are not getting their Xiaomi vacuum cleaners connected to their Wi-Fi. The booklet you get with it has no information on how to work the app. There is also nowhere in South Africa to call or email for support or guidance. Would not recommend this vacuum cleaner to anyone.
Where do you live? I know there is a Xiaomi shop in Cape Town
Xiaomi gerting totaly bad
Can I make multiple maps ?
Yes you can
10:23 is the dog afraid of the robot?
Very
is there blocking zones in the app?
Yes
Good video, but man is it slow moving !
Get some tea
❤❤❤❤ süper robot
Thank you!
I have this model and robot can’t find the dock and its not charging 😕
That is odd. Have you tried resetting it?
This is not the x10+ where is the base
You must read again and look again bro.
Can I ask alexa for him to clean only a specific room?
I think you can, yes
Poor doggie
Shame
Cannot get the wifi network connected. Pure waste of app.
I think the problem is your side. Try see if you are connecting to a 2G or 5G network.
@@ThatCapeTownGuy thanks! Indeed that was one of the issues. it says to connect to the vacuum wifi itself, which I did, and after to switch back to my wifi network. It somehow did the trick after fumbling for 1 hour. maybe something they should re-think as it's really not intuitive/ user friendly.
what a trash review
92K views, many people actually thanking me. Sorry who are you? Try again, you are just hating. We don't need you here. Bye.
