    I am looking for a cleaning robot at a price of about PLN 700-1000, the equipment should be new and one that will fulfill the task, i.e. that it is not an emergency "no name" quinol for which there are no spare consumables such as filters, pads, brushes . Do any of you have experience with such equipment and can recommend or advise something?

    If you do not want chinola no name, you have to add a bit and buy Xiaomi Vacuum v1, spare parts are available, service in PL also, the quality of vacuuming is better than in roombie 980 for 5,000. I say right away that I am not "xiaomilepsze" because many things are weak, for example phones.

    Avoid any Ilife or other inventions, they don't have a room scanner, they just bump into obstructions and make a fuss.

    Now such robots are nothing new, they have dropped significantly since they went on sale, so I want to fit in PLN 1000. In this amount, I saw new ones, for example Philips, Goclever, Samsung and IRobot Roomba 605. The only problem is what to choose?

    Of those you mentioned, one fell which drives randomly and bounces off the walls, no difference. Choose the look and the company

    WSRH thank you for your opinion. Could someone else write something about robots for about PLN 1000?

    the robot's assumption is that it cleans every day. The statistics suggest that he will visit almost all places during the week. But still every now and then, regardless of whether it is random or scans, you have to run an ordinary vacuum cleaner. Then why overpay?

    I am looking for a robot that will work well, then the vacuum cleaner will be used occasionally.

    Out of curiosity I will ask ... how much do you need to empty the dust container and what will the vacuum cleaner "suck"? I understand that it depends on the model and, for example, each of the vacuum cleaners https://irobot.pl/pl/ " target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener ugc" class="postlink inline" title="" > https://irobot.pl/pl/ will it have a different capacity ?? What if the vacuum cleaner is cleaning, we are not at home and the tank is full?

    This vacuum cleaner does not remove rubble after the party, it only vacuums the things you will not see, I was shocked when I vacuumed with a normal powerful vacuum cleaner, I was sure that it was 100% thoroughly vacuumed, then I turned on the Xiaomi with an empty container, 60 meters vacuumed 30 minutes and the container was half full, mostly with hair and dust ...

    I empty my Xiaomi twice a month (vacuums 2 times a week) and I clean it once a month, cleaning is very simple, the worst is tangled hair, but there is no help ...

    Read the instructions :sm9:

    He probably writes something like this - emptying the container after each cleaning, cleaning the filter once a week.
    It's not really a vacuum cleaner bag but a tiny box.
    They usually have a fill sensor - so if it clogs, the cleaning ends and it goes to the base, but it would
    you have to check with a specific model because there are a lot of them.

    The service is supposed to be there, but after the opinions on the Internet, it is as if it was not there.

    Yeah right.
    I cannot compare my opinions, but no wonder, because somehow every 'xiaomilepszy' na yt in the comments compares it to roomby 980, which he bought for 5,000 to sell and buy something for 2,000, yeah ...
    Well, it's been 3 years and there are some disadvantages of xiaomi, and big ones. Under almost every review there is a complaint about xiaomi rather than delight :)

    Yeah, I am 2 years old xiaomi and there are no flaws, no faults, absolutely nothing, it cleans great, it can be controlled easily via the application. A friend has a new model every now and then because he is a fan of this invention and every now and then there are problems and for me peace and elegant work. Now there are newer models than my v1 that completely massacre this sroombe in which you only pay for the company, something like a rotten apple.

    @WSRH
    Do not behave like a fan "xiaomilepsze" because you clearly do not know the scale of the problem of faults in xiaomi.
    It is enough to enter the German forums because there is a lot of it there.
    And yes, the first significant disadvantage is ladiar / laser - cost over PLN 300, our alledrogo is already PLN 400
    The second is the ladiara engine - PLN 40
    The third one is a power supply / dock, but less often - something around PLN 200
    This is a problem of xiaomi and even in the roborock s5 it occurs very often.
    Choosing xiaomi, let's buy them in Poland - in the event of a failure, we do not care and do not send to China for service :)
    And with this roomba and problems it is a snort - the recommendation of this company are still roomb offers, which are more than a dozen years old and still working. are we talking about vacuuming it here? :)
    But what do you know if your robot vacuums twice a week - it was pointless to waste money.
    It's like retirees buy a car as long as they go to mass once / twice a week :)
    And so out of curiosity I will ask - what are they massacring?
    Maybe mopping, which instead of washing the floor, wipes it, leaving two stripes - here xiaomi users agree that this is an unnecessary good thing.
    Of course, taking into account the price of the new ones, it is better to buy xiaomi, but only in PL, but as for stimulants, it is better to choose a company that will not cause us such costly problems.

FAQ

TL;DR: Expect frequent light cleaning; “I empty my Xiaomi twice a month,” and one run cleaned 60 m² in 30 minutes. In this budget, prioritize models with available spares and simple upkeep. [Elektroda, WSRH, post #17528040]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps buyers on a 700–1000 PLN budget pick a reliable robot vacuum, avoid no‑name traps, and maintain performance.

Quick Facts

What’s the best robot vacuum under 1000 PLN right now?

Under 1000 PLN, many models use random navigation and bounce off obstacles. Performance differences are small, so choose a reputable brand with accessible consumables and service. Expect basic scheduling and bump‑and‑run cleaning, not room mapping. Set realistic expectations for coverage and repeat runs to improve results. [Elektroda, WSRH, post #16895241]

Is it worth stretching the budget for a mapping/LiDAR model like Xiaomi Vacuum v1?

Yes, if you want smarter coverage and spare parts availability. Users report that Xiaomi Vacuum v1 offers mapping and strong cleaning for the price. “Avoid any Ilife or other inventions,” due to lack of scanning and bumping behavior. Stretching the budget moves you from random to mapped paths and better efficiency. [Elektroda, WSRH, post #16894494]

What happens if the dust bin fills while I’m away?

Most robots use a bin fill or clog sensor. When the bin clogs, cleaning ends and the robot returns to the base. Manuals often advise emptying the container after each run and cleaning filters weekly. If your floors shed lots of hair, expect earlier stoppages. Check your model’s manual for exact behavior. [Elektroda, r103, post #17532545]

How often should I empty the bin and clean the filter?

Follow a simple rule: “emptying the container after each cleaning, cleaning the filter once a week.” This keeps airflow high and reduces clogging. If you run the robot twice per week, monitor the first month to calibrate your routine. Homes with pets or rugs need more frequent bin checks. [Elektroda, r103, post #17532545]

Do random‑navigation robots still keep floors clean over time?

Yes, with frequent use. One user notes the robot’s job is daily cleaning, and statistics suggest it will visit almost all places over a week. You still need occasional traditional vacuuming for edges, deep pile, or missed zones. Schedule daily or near‑daily runs for the best coverage. [Elektroda, wnoto, post #16905415]

How big an area can a run cover, and how fast?

A user observed a Xiaomi unit vacuum 60 m² in about 30 minutes, filling the bin halfway with hair and dust. That’s a useful real‑world benchmark for light to moderate debris. Expect slower cycles on high‑pile carpets or cluttered rooms. “This vacuum cleaner does not remove rubble after the party.” [Elektroda, WSRH, post #17528040]

Are bump‑and‑run robots noisy or disruptive?

Users describe non‑mapping robots as bumping into obstructions and making a fuss. The sound level depends on suction and brush design, but the navigation style adds tapping noises. If noise bothers you, look for mapping units that steer more deliberately and reduce impacts. [Elektroda, WSRH, post #16894494]

Are Xiaomi/Roborock robots reliable long‑term?

Experiences vary. One owner reports two years of fault‑free operation, easy app control, and consistently great cleaning. Newer models reportedly improved further. Reliability still depends on maintenance and environment. Quote: “there are no flaws, no faults, absolutely nothing, it cleans great.” [Elektroda, WSRH, post #18452469]

What parts commonly fail, and what do replacements cost?

Community reports highlight LiDAR assemblies and small LiDAR motors as frequent repairs. Indicative prices: LiDAR 300–400 PLN, LiDAR motor ~40 PLN, and charging docks around 200 PLN. Buying locally simplifies warranty claims and avoids overseas shipping for service. [Elektroda, cichy koksik, post #18452525]

Will I still need a traditional vacuum cleaner?

Yes. Even with daily robot runs, plan periodic manual vacuuming for thorough edges, stairs, and deep cleaning. As one user notes, “every now and then ... you have to run an ordinary vacuum cleaner.” Robots handle maintenance dust; uprights handle heavy lifts. [Elektroda, wnoto, post #16905415]

How do I do a weekly upkeep to keep suction strong?

  1. Empty the bin after each cleaning session.
  2. Clean or tap the filter weekly to remove dust.
  3. Check for clogs and confirm the robot docks correctly after runs. These steps prevent sensor trips and early shutdowns due to reduced airflow. [Elektroda, r103, post #17532545]

Which brands should I consider or avoid on this budget?

Avoid very cheap no‑name units lacking spares. Some users caution against ILife‑type random bots for lacking room scanning. Consider stretching for Xiaomi Vacuum v1 if you want mapping and available consumables. Ensure local service support before buying. [Elektroda, WSRH, post #16894494]

Is the mopping feature worth it on budget robots?

Users report that simple mop attachments often “wipe” rather than truly wash, leaving narrow streaks. If mopping matters, evaluate higher‑end hybrids or dedicated mops. For maintenance dust, vacuuming delivers most of the visible improvement. [Elektroda, cichy koksik, post #18452525]

How often will I need to empty the dust container in practice?

One owner running twice per week empties twice a month, with a half‑full bin after a 60 m², 30‑minute run. Homes with pets or high shedding will need more frequent emptying. Monitor the first few weeks and adjust your schedule accordingly. [Elektroda, WSRH, post #17528040]

What’s an edge case where cleaning can fail mid‑run?

A clogged bin or filter can trigger the sensor and end cleaning early. The robot will dock instead of finishing. Prevent it by emptying the bin every run and cleaning the filter weekly, especially after pet‑heavy days. [Elektroda, r103, post #17532545]
