Sounds promising on no costs, likely they got so many orders for offering 'free shipping' it was cheaper to send a pallet to UK then post individually from there.

29 Sep 17#106
no charges at all
The box actually had a UK address, so they must be shipping to a warehouse in the UK for further distribution.
Its so good, scheduled a clean at 9am and I got a notification telling me Mr Meeseeks had started a clean and another notification when it was finished and had made its way back to the charging dock.

Any charges i used the free uk express also when was it ordered dispatched from china? trying to guess how much longer will be waiting my guess is two days. Yodel not been updating guessing by time does will be here. I ordered Sep 12 got sent out 18th. Thank you (looking at comments you ordered on 8th need to try and be patient)Guess yours will have been dispatched before the 18th.

I got an air purifier from Gearbest using UK express (fairly big box) a couple of months ago, there were no customs charges and all the delivery labels on it were in English with no sign of anything from China (I didn't see a return address) with all logos covered up on the box, so presume it gets imported to some warehouse in the UK then redistributed. Maybe I just got lucky and they had one in the UK to start with

i actually have one of these, picked it up in china. i must say i am massively impressed. it occasionally needs hair cleaning out of the brushes if someone in your house has long hair, but it comes with a tool that makes it very easy. the mapping and routing in it are fantastic and the app makes it easy to control and set off when i am out of the house. obviously as these things are battery powered the are not as outright powerful as a normal vacuum cleaner but they still do a very good job and if you leave it to go on a schedule it is amazing - it pulled so much dust out of our (fairly thick) carpet over the course of the first 4 or 5 runs the shade of the carpet has changed. the only thing it struggles with slighly are chairs like this: [url]http//pl…rl] where the thin horizontal legs pass under the front bumper. we either put the chairs on the table or jsut leave it as it gets the job done after a little bumping around. as to the round nature of the device, the side brush does a good job of getting material at the side and the round shape helps it when spinning in tight spaces.
when i next go back to china i am going to have lots of orders from friends and family who have seen it and think its great
sorry for the long post

Carpet in the video has no pile to speak off. I can just imagine this trying to get over my deep piled carpets, not being able to hoover 80% of the floor because it can't move any objects or cables itself. Then seeing it's little robot arms wave frantically as gets tied up completely in a ball of mine the cat's hair and dies.
I'm willing to bet I would spend more time trying to cut hair from hair that it would spend cleaning anything.

I had same issue used the old code with the China warehouse to get the free shipping it was $10 more about £220 paid in dollars.

No it doesn't unfortunately. It can detect obstacles etc. but it moves around the floor in a random manner, meaning it won't always clean all the floor every time but it still does a great job. For an extra £40 I'd probably go with this one as it has more features, and a longer battery time.

Get a broadlink RM pro, anything with an ir or RF remote can be made to work with Alexa. My old robot vacuum did until battery went.

Just watched a bunch of reviews. This isn't so much about being a great deal. It's the fact it's discounting one of the cheapest robots which is also one of the best. This one seems like the real deal.

For comparison here is a rebranded eufy 11 (I'm guessing looks and performs identical to mine) vs the Xiaomi

I got the Robovac (at the £160 price) and love it. There is definitely a frustrating random pattern to its motion, however consistently cleans to the standard I want. That said I'm now sold on robot vacuum and am considering this as an an upstairs one.

I bought one of the headless chicken ones from Lidl for £75 and wasn't expecting much, but I leave it on for half an hour whilst I go for my paper and my living room is done when I come back and it appears to have been all over. I don't have carpet so can't vouch for carpet. Oh and by the way I send it around my bedroom twice a week brilliant for going under the bed until it finishes the program under the bed and you forget about it, flat or insufficient charge next time you need it.
davelfc
9 Sep 17#45
Once you’ve had a laser guided robot cleaner, you wouldn’t want to go back to the headless chicken Roomba style ones that just bump into everything and take ages to clean.
My Neato signature is looking a little tired and lacks the side brush that this one has. New Neatos have lithium batteries but if you want the side brush and connectivity then you’re looking at nearly three times the cost of this.
Now if it could just bring me a beer from the fridge I’d be sorted.

I had a botvac 85 and not sure if I'd buy another robot vacuum on that experience.
It worked well on the ground floor or our old house but in our new one it can't handle the dining chairs and different bumps and thresholds between areas.
One of the big problems with these robot vacuums is wear and tear. For a normal vacuum you run it for 15 minutes once a week (if you're like me). Most people run their robot multiple times (~3) per week for 30 min at a time. All that hard work makes the components wear down very quick so it's never going to last as long as a regular vacuum.
The botvac also got hair constantly wound tightly around its brush and bearings. The dirt bins on these are tiny so you need to empty them after every run or two.
If I hadn't bought the botvac before I'd be going for this. As it is, I think I'll wait a few years and see does the technology dramatically improve.

Anyone know how this compares to the Neato botvac? Ours is about 3 years old now and although it still works lovely and can run for a couple of hours, the battery calibration is shot and if you pause it in the middle of a run it decides to return to base to recharge. Sometimes it returns to base, and 5 minutes later says it's fully charged again and it gets into a loop of charging/running for 5 mins at a time and you have to switch it off for a while. If the Xiaomi one is on a par or better I might buy one and retire the Neato to the robot spares bin :smile:

I don't think so, but most of time it comes with an UK adaptor for free.
vipergrm to xavierzzz
8 Sep 17#37
According to the Gearbest site they ship a free adaptor of the destination order. In this case you should get a free UK adapter. The power cable is just a simple 2-prong power cable which you can order off Ebay for less than £3. I'm gonna buy one anyway as I'd rather not have an adaptor plugged in. Just looks a bit untidy.

I wouldn't buy any other vacuum that doesn't do mapping. If you just google some review videos, they will most likely show you how these Mi robot vacuum kind of draw the map of your house and go through every single corner. But conventional robot vacuum just keep bumping around like a headless chicken. iRobot Roomba 980 can also do mapping but it costs about four times as much.

that's the only thing that puts me a bit off. The Robovac 11 reviews/performance/price is really good, comparing to similar specs Robot Vacuums. The Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum specs are also really good ( 1800pa suction, 2.5H cleaning fade-free (?) ) .... decision decisions !!! :unamused:
