What is the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum worth? [Test]

        

Welcome to our Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum review and test. The Chinese brand Roidmi is part of the Xiaomi ecosystem which offers many home automation and connected products. Present on the market for stick vacuum cleaners, it diversifies these products with in particular this Eve Plus robot vacuum cleaner. This model is particularly interesting since it combines a great suction power, a suction and washing system as well as control from a smartphone application. Let's find out about the Roidmi Eve plus robot vacuum test.

UNBOXING | Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum

Upon receipt of the package, we were able to discover two boxes, one with the docking station and the second with the robot. The items are stored and protected in order to have an intact product on delivery. In the box of the base we have the device docking station, the power cord, as well as two additional vacuum cleaner bags (one bag is already installed in the base).

In the second box, the items available in the box are:

The Roidmi Eve plus robot vacuum cleaner.

An additional filter (the filter is already installed on the robotic vacuum cleaner).

The cleaning cloth plate with a washable cloth already installed on the plate.

10 disposable cleaning cloths.

1 user manual / user manual.

In addition, the two side brushes and the main brush are already installed on the vacuum cleaner. This makes it easier to start up the device.

Testing and handling of the vacuum robot

This test is continued with the installation of the device. After unpacking the various pieces of protective material, you must first find a suitable location for the docking station. The Roidmi brand recommends positioning the device against a wall, on a hard floor and having a space greater than 50cm on the sides and 1.5 meters in front. You must then connect the docking station to the power supply with the supplied cable.

Second, remove the protective elements located on the robot. As soon as it is on the ground, you can press the On / Off button (located in the center of the black part of the plane). A house-shaped button on its right allows the robot to find the docking station, move around it to remove dust and recharge.

For optimal use, it is recommended to download the Xiaomi Home smartphone application. This application is free and available on the Apple Store or on Android. We then open the app and create a Mi account.

To connect the application to the vacuum cleaner, the application asks to search for the type of vacuum cleaner in the application (here Roidmi Eve), to press the On / Off button and to return to the docking station in same time. time to reset WiFi settings. The application then asks you to connect to the Chuangmi-vaccum WiFi network from your smartphone. As soon as the connection is established (it will be necessary to enter the WiFi network, preferably 2.4 Gz), the application will be connected to the robot and the configuration of the robot will start. We had some difficulties connecting the device to WiFi (the notion of 2.4Gz being indicated in small size in the manual). Apart from that, we did not encounter any particular difficulty.

As soon as the device is connected, you must indicate the location of the docking station and you can change the name of the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum cleaner. You will then arrive at the various configuration elements of the vacuum cleaning robot. In the center of the application, you will find the map of your accommodation. You can add zones to clean, define virtual partitions, etc. These are the ideal features for a quality robot vacuum. It is also possible to add an additional floor, ideal for houses or duplex apartments. Simply click on Card, then on My Card and follow the instructions.

On the top banner, you can go back to all your connected Xiaomi devices, and with the "..." on different functions that we will see during this test on the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum. At the bottom, there is a button to start or stop the charge, indications on the battery, the cleaning cycle (cycle time and m2 cleaned) as well as a red button to start or stop the cleaning cycle.

The design and ergonomics of the Roidmi Eve plus

Regarding the aesthetic aspect, the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum cleaner is designed with a pleasant design. It is part of the category of round robot vacuum cleaners. The 35.5cm diameter is larger than standard models, which can sometimes prevent accessibility between tight spaces. The two side brushes provide access to dust in corners, such as the edges of the legs of a table or chair. This robot vacuum cleaner is composed of the base, and a laser head pressure sensor which overhangs the vacuum cleaner. Its height is thus 10cm, allowing it to access a multitude of low furniture. For sofas, it depends on the height of the sofa legs.

The coating of the Roidmi Eve plus is made of solid plastic. This material offers good resistance to impacts with furniture or a wall. The device is predominantly white in color. It hides any traces of friction (compared to a black model). These shocks can be avoided by selecting the radar priority option in the application (robot configuration menu) and also by setting virtual barriers from the smartphone application. The weight of the robot is about 3.5 kg.

Having the robot vacuum cleaner alone is not necessary, because the settings are made directly from the smartphone. The vacuum cleaner has very few configuration buttons. There are only four buttons on the robot:

The on / off button located in the middle: it allows you to turn on the device, start a cleaning cycle manually, or pause the device with a simple press.

The Station button (home pin): it allows you to connect to the docking station, and ask the robot to return to the base.

The Place button (square pin): it allows you to clean a specific area.

The reset button (on the side): it restarts the vacuum robot.

In terms of ergonomics, the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum says a lot. Once installed, it is in English, but from the application, you can change the language to French (settings, then voice and volume). It indicates several elements during configuration for example, or when you modify an element (trash can).

The suction power and sensors of Roidmi Eve plus

As for the suction power, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the suction whether on a hard floor (parquet), on a carpet or even a medium pile carpet. From the app you can select the maximum suction power when the Roidmi Eve Plus is on a carpet. In addition, you can select 5 suction levels including no suction (when using the device in mop mode). The maximum suction on the product sheet is 2700 Pa.

Regarding the navigation system, the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with numerous sensors to delimit the contours of an object and delimit the spaces. On the top, it is equipped with a laser range finder which makes it possible to map the environment of the house. The restitution on the application is very interesting. Parts and obstacles are clearly identified and well reproduced. The passage is made in width, then in length, which allows an excellent dust extraction. Finally, at each cleaning cycle, the map is updated. If you have a new table, the legs will be updated on your map.

In terms of obstacle management, the various sensors located along the device allow good detection of walls and objects in the environment. In the event of an impact, the shock absorber helps absorb the shocks. A TOF sensor tracks walls and sucks up dust from complaints. When it comes to high obstacles, he managed quite well to overcome high areas or to get out of an area where he was stuck. However, on coarse pile carpets, the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum cleaner prefers to bypass them.

The sound emissions of this robot vacuum cleaner

The noise emissions of the Roidmi Eve Plus vacuum cleaner are rather high. In our opinion, this is the point that will need to be improved in the future. They can climb beyond 70dB with maximum suction mode. The quiet suction mode and the wash cycle are rather weak. These modes aside, the suction is relatively noisy compared to other models like the Ecovacs Ozmo 920.

Regarding the sound of the voice, it is easily perceptible. This is a female voice for the French version. From the app, you can increase or decrease the volume of the voice.

Autonomy and charging time

The battery performance of the Roidmi Eve plus robot vacuum cleaner is interesting. Equipped with a 5200mAH Lithium-ion battery, it has an autonomy of over 3 hours in standard mode, approximately 2 hours in intensive mode. Which is very practical, even for homes larger than 100m2. Travel speed is relatively fast, compared to other robot vacuums in its class.

As soon as the battery is low, it automatically returns to the docking station, without you having to bring the device back. As soon as the autonomy is sufficient, the vacuum cleaner resumes the cleaning or washing cycle.

On the battery charging side, it can last up to 5 hours with an empty battery. Which can be high, but the great autonomy of this robot vacuum cleaner requires a longer recharge than the competitors.

Our advice for effective cleaning

Like any robot vacuum cleaner, it is important to follow a few guidelines to benefit from an effective cleaning. Before starting a cleaning or washing cycle, it is important to store items on the floor such as shoes, chargers, and fragile items. Even though he got caught in a power cord (from the office printer), he managed to get out on his own.

To prevent breakage of a fragile object, we recommend that you put them on the floor. Even if the sensors can get around an obstacle, he could still hit it. The same goes for high pile rugs, it is best to raise them up or roll them up so that the vacuum cleaner can pass underneath. For fine pile rugs, there is no problem. It manages to get on it and sucks up dust and any residue very well. We were unable to test any vacuum areas in our test environment.

The good surprise comes from the wheels. They rise when the edges of a carpet are thick, for example. The Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum cleaner can climb obstacles up to 20mm.

The dust collector and filters of the Roidmi Eve Plus

The special feature of this robot vacuum cleaner is that it has a dust collector integrated into the docking station. At the end of each vacuum cycle, the collector sucks up the dust and residue from the robot vacuum cleaner tank. The dust is then sent to a dust bag with a capacity of about 3 liters. The duration of this operation is 12 seconds. This system eliminates the need for the user to clean the tank at the end of each cycle, which is very pleasant.

At the robot level, the dust container has a capacity of 300ml. It is positioned with the water tank. They are located behind the device and can be dismantled. Together with the dust container, the robot is equipped with a HEPA filter and a high efficiency grid filter. We recommend that you clean these filters regularly to avoid rapid clogging.

The different tanks can be easily disassembled thanks to a plastic hatch. As soon as it is removed, you will be able to separate the filters from the dust container and the water container. A second filter is delivered in the box to change it as soon as it is worn out. From the app, you will be able to monitor the life level of filters and brushes. An indication is also present to monitor the performance of the sensors. If performance degrades, you can clean them. If the filter and brushes need to be changed, they are sold on e-commerce sites.

The washing mode of the Roidmi Eve Plus vacuum cleaner

The second function of this model is the wash cycle. A 250ml water tank is located in the same place as the dust container. To use this function, just fill the water tank, install the cleaning cloth plate (washable or single use). As soon as these elements are installed, you can start the wash cycle from the application.

This technology makes it possible to use it in the washing cycle alone or to combine it between vacuuming and wet cleaning of floors. There are four washing modes (non-existent to intensive). These levels allow you to diversify the cleaning of your floors. Unlike other models, this vacuum cleaner can also wash your fine pile carpets. We recommend that you use the high level in the wash cycle for best results.

In terms of washing quality, the Roidmi Eve vacuum cleaner washes floors more effectively. However, like any robot vacuum cleaner, stubborn stains do not go away and will have to be removed by hand.

Focus on the Xiaomi Home app

The Xiaomi Home app is available on AppStore and Google Play. On the user manual, you will find a QR Code to directly search for the application. After downloading, you will need to follow several steps to connect the app to the robot vacuum.

Overall the app is well thought out. It is intuitive and easy to access. The information is clear and the functions varied. The user first finds the card from their slot. On the first pass, the robot vacuum maps the entire accommodation. The SLAM algorithm is particularly effective in determining different parts. They are displayed on the application.

As soon as the first cycle is done, you find a specific color per room, with the partitions and the objects which are shown by a big purple line. From the map module, it is possible to put virtual walls, prohibit an area, divide areas and group them together. The advantage of these zones is that you can define the cleaning cycle and the washing cycle in each room. This module is rather well done for an interesting use.

On the upper part of the application, you will find the name of the robot (possibility of personalizing it), and the three small points concerning the parameters:

The robot configuration: you can define the radar priority, the visibility of the indicator light, the pressurization mode of the carpet, the robot's time zone and define a “do not disturb” mode.

The setting of the dust collection station: status display, touch status display and to set the frequency of dust collection from the robot to the dust bag.

Robot cleaning: this function allows you to define a regular cleaning action, over time, the type and the area or areas to be cleaned regularly.

Cleaning history: to view the different cleaning cycles, the cleaning area and the cycle time.

Consumables registration: to check the condition of the filter, brushes and sensors.

The voice and the volume: it allows to define the sound level of the voice as well as the language.

Remote control mode: from your smartphone, like a video game, you can manually control the robot in your home.

Positioning of the sweeping robot: this function allows the robot to speak by saying "I'm here", so that it can be found in your home.

Other features are present and indicate important information:

Device name: this function allows you to rename the robot.

Manage location: to check the connection to the WiFi router and indicate the link of the presence of the docking station.

Share the device: to manage the robot's sharing on different devices (another smartphone, tablet, etc.).

Automation: to create automatic scenes.

Software update: it is used to check and update the software of the robot vacuum cleaner.

Help and Comments: A series of questions and answers, relating to problems encountered with the use of the robot.

Additional parameters: this function allows you to see the version of the plug-in, set a password, check network information, legal information.

Delete device: this function allows you to delete the robot from the application.

 

Finally, the Roidmi Eve Plus robot vacuum cleaner is compatible with Amazon Echo connected speakers. You can easily start cleaning programs by asking Alexia.
