Tired of cleaning and mopping your home during the lockdown? Let the robots takeover

Dust, sweep, mop, repeat. I don’t know about you but that pretty sums my household chores routine during this lockdown and I think it’s time for us to let the robots takeover our floor. While robotic vacuum cleaners are a segment that took off a few years back, we need them now more than ever.

If you are looking for options, Chinese hardware maker Xiaomi on Friday introduced a new product under its smart home category called Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P. Talk about spotting an opportunity. Robot Vacuum-Mop P will be available on Mi.com through crowd funding starting April 17, 2020 and will set you back by Rs 29,999. As of now, it is available at an introductory price of Rs 17,999. This robo-vac will start shipping for Indian consumers from September 15.

This is an intelligent home cleaning device equipped with 12 different multi-directional sensors and a dedicated Laser Distance Sensor (LDS) navigation system. LDC can scan complex environments accurately and avoid obstacles during the cleaning process. It can scan a surrounding in 360° with an 8-meter range up to six times per second. Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P packs in a 2-in-1 sweeping-mopping functionality and also comes with a smart app control.
