An entry-level product that benefits from beautiful finishes

It must be said what is: the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S12 is an entry-level robot vacuum cleaner and mop. But we must also give back to Caesar what belongs to him: the model is rather well finished. You find a round vacuum cleaner 35 cm in diameter and 9.45 cm high, dome with laser rangefinder included. This is handy for navigation, less so if you have to pass it under low furniture.

This famous sensor is used to map places and navigate while avoiding obstacles. Of course, it is not infallible and that is why it is equipped with two anti-collision bumpers. It also has four vacuum sensors to prevent falls. We saw it in our test where it still got 8/10, it is effective against the biggest obstacles only. It will therefore be necessary to do a minimum of tidying up before your visit.

Top for vacuuming, recessed for washing

This vacuum cleaner offers two cleaning modes. On the one hand, suction, effective on hard surfaces and short-thread carpets. On long wires, it will have a little more difficulty, the fault of its central brush system with nylon wire and rubber blades. On the other hand, when it comes to floor washing, the opinion is more mixed. While it is effective on light or fresh stains, it will take several passes on encrusted stains. Fortunately, a “professional cleaning” mode to be triggered on the smartphone is there to help.

All this has an impact on the autonomy which is, as a base, 130 minutes in theory. In practice, and according to our test, count on more than 1h30/1h40 if you use vacuuming and floor washing in conventional use. To reach the manufacturer’s figures, it will be necessary to use it in silent suction mode only. Allow around 2.5 hours of charging for it to return to 100%.
