- Опубліковано 8 кві 2021
- I was a bit skeptical when I heard this was $360, offered Lidar and Self Emptying capabilities. The self emptying system is one of the beet I tested. It was able to handle my crazy rice cleanup challenge, the robot didn’t get lost or skipped a beat.

THanks Nathan. Real interesting robot. A budget robot with a big heart!!. Such a pity that we cannot get any high end robot in my country. We only get junk . Hopefully one of the big suppliers will open a distribution centre here. I had a look at companies that import, but for a Roborock S5 they want $2000. We also have a challenge that we have a very strict policy on the electrical supply and if it has not been tested, and certified for us, we have a chance that customs may block entry of the item. That was my rant for the day!
Back to this one. I think that this robot and the Wyze (and to a dregree the Neobot) is moving the benchmark and is ultimately going to force bigger famous high-end suppliers to look at pricing. Why not buy two of these for your house or three Wyze robots instead of one high end?
Yeah you have some good points. It weird how some brands offer the same robot vacuum at different prices. For example the Roomba can cost twice as much in some areas. Anyways, these cheaper robot vacuums are bridging the gap between high end and low cost solutions without sacrificing performance and features. Depending on where you live and what brand you go with you may have better access to customer service, support and accessories. Here in the USA, we only have a handful of robot vacuums to choose from off the shelf. These are Shark, iRobot, Ecovacs and Samsung. A lot of the robots I showcase on this channel are imported overseas since I can’t get them here in the USA like the Roborock.
@@RobotMasters The best we get here is a Kyvol s31. I just have not found any decent review on it. It retails for about $880 in South Africa. The other is Taroma Liectroux ZK901 for about $700. Then there are heaps of cheap chines imports for as low as $60! I got one as a gift (friend paid about $180 for it) - cannot remember the name - but is was total junk. Used it for 30 minutes and had to get it out of corners about 20 times!
@@hansielategan969 So I personally tried the Kyvol S31, it not bad. I did find the Neabot to be better overall. The Lydsto is the best so far for this price, and the self emptying system is the best right now.
@@RobotMasters Yea I like the Neabot , but unfortunately cannot get it here. Not even to import. I am just not happy to pay a premium robot price for a budget vacuum!
Thanks for taking the time to respond and keep up the good work. You guys hae taught me so much in the world of robot vacuums I feel like an expert!
Thanks for the scheduling tip with different rooms. I have two dogs the regularly shed, this tip will help the self clean base to not get clogged!!
Sure hope it helped
Incredible Product !
Hi Nathan, thanks for the great reviews I love your channel! I would like to make a suggestion to add in your reviews, when I’m shopping for a bot I look at how tall the robot is because I want it to be able to go under my sofas and other spaces you can get u see easily perhaps in future reviews you could mention and test that. It would be great info that no other reviews don’t have
Thanks for the feedback, I will try to add the dimensions of the robot and height too. Have a good day!!!
Awesome thanks!!
I like that the contacts on the side rather than the bottom. I constantly have to clean my Romba’s contacts
Yes and they won't get buried under dirt and debris overtime.
Super impressive video and vac too from mr Nate !!
Thanks, maybe it time your Robot Vacuum get a robo PAL 😝
@@RobotMasters 😂😂😂
3:24 When you get A+ on all your classes on your report card.
Excellent review Nathan. This robot vacumn is on par with or better than my Ecovacs t8+ for half the price. Ecovacs and Roomba better wake up because brands at this price make buying the more expensive brands questionable.
Thanks, I was actually impressed with the performance. Something I would of expected from a $500+ robot vacuum.
@@RobotMasters Exactly. Because of your channel and one other, I have been educated on what to look for in my next robot vacumn. Keep up the good work!
Thanks as always 😂
Great point! If a manufacturer is not doing s bin then you better have amazing mopping.. Lidar has made navigation good enough now the value is in the convenience of a bin or the ability to really wash floors..
Damn nice videos! Keep up the good work. I had look at your videoes the last 2 hours :D Can you help me, what is the best budget 2in1 robot vacuum/mob you have tried ? I get a new 2 floor house soon and will get one of these. I have look abit at .
Coredy R750, proscenium 7 pro, lydsto R1
My recommendation is the Lydsto R1. For the value, performance and features it hard to beat. Some other options are the Roborock S4, S7 and Neabot.
@@RobotMasters thanks for fast answer! I think it will be lydsto R1, it seems to be pretty pretty good in your review. Thanks again.
I was looking at this robot again at 22:53. You can see this robot is rebranded Kyvol (look at the bottom of the screen) different hardware, same software, and voice
Wow the self empty actually looks to work super well! Have you checked out the proscenic m8 pro yet? It looks exactly like this lol. I might get this set up for my basement. Do you know if when mopping it knows not to go on carpet? Hoping to see the proscenic m8 pro soon.
So yes I highly recommend this if you are looking for a budget robot vacuum. Keep in mind you may have to search for replacement acessories. It does shut the water off when it detect carpets but don't actively avoid them like on the Ecovacs robots.
The Proscenic M8 is awesome once I realized my unit was a lemon (wifi module fried) and got it to work properly. Surprisingly tho it’s object avoidance is much worse then the M6 pro, so if you have metal furniture legs make sure to set no go zones or expect a bot that looks like it’s been thru war in a week. The M6 pro seems to not to like to touch anything and keeps itself pristine.
@@deleqtronica8733 hows the self empty bin though? Because on the m7 pro it totally sucks!(in a bad way) never fully empty the bin of the robot.
@@spikeyboy You can setup a "No-Mop Zone" on the map to match your carpets, so if it has the mop connected, it'll avoid them, that's what i did.
Nate, please review Roidmi Eve Plus as well as Viomi S9. They have slightly different designs, it will be interesting. Looking forward to it.
Yeah hopefully I get offered to review those two models.
This is Roidmi Eve plus clone… Viomi S9 seems same but with better materials
@Mateusz Sikorski
Nah... Lydston R1 is nore identical to Viomi S9 compared to Roidmi Eve Plus. Pay attention the the auto empty docks, and single side brush, as well as charging connector.
With Roidmi Eve Plus, it is safe to leave the wet mopping pad idling while charging as it won't wet the floor long period of time, unlike the orher two.
Hi,such wonderful information.I have question,can we set this r1 schedule sweeping or mopping every 3 days..or once a week?or its already set to work everyday?
In the app, you can schedule which days you want to clean and what time.
@@RobotMasters oh I see..ok².another question,does this R1 give a high cost in the electricity bill ?or is it like oven usage?
@James Chong It similar to a TV,
@@RobotMasters I see..Ok.Tq so much ya for the info. Help me alot👍🏻
5:59 When your dog is begging for food.
How long does it take to empty itself at the station? I live in a small apartment and since the other units are very close I'm scared there will be that loud noise for too long T-T
So the self emptying system runs for 20 seconds and only after the robot is done cleaning. You do have the option to turn the self emptying system off and manually turn it on.
How does this perform as compared to a Xiaomi vacuum mop pro (Styj02ym) (It would be nice to have the self emptying feature if the same type quality on the mopping & vacuuming) since they are in the same price range. BTW, thanks so much for reviewing some of these off brand vacuums or smaller company vacuums. We need this...!!!!
Sure no problem, I try to review as many robot vacuums from various manufacturers so I have a good understanding how they perform. So as for the Xiaomi, I tested the Viomi V2 which isn't a bad robot vacuum. It very similar to the Roborock and probably could find them cheaper since a lot 3rd party sites sell them.
Question: I just got my R1 and it works great. Just one thing is it makes a noise which I thought was the wheel but I took off the roller cover and roller and it stopped. i put back just the gray roller cover and it makes it again. Only on hardwood. I think it's the rubber strip that makes a high pitched noise when it rubs against the hard floor. Has anyone noticed this? not sure if I should return/replace. I love it otherwise.
Does it work with Alexa oder Google voice command?
Given that this company has no support or website, I'd much rather pay double for a roborock where I at least know if my product has an issue I can get it fixed. Tha KS for the great review
Yeah it pays to find a robot with good support 😁
Is does actually mop and vacuum at the same time, but not om mopping mode. If you turn that off and select a water level, it does both. Mopping mode means just mop and default is both.
Thanks for the tips and information.
@mustafa is it really worth it? And clean fine dust?or sand
Does it do multi-level mapping? ie. store maps for more then one floor?
Yes has multi map saving. I believe upto 4
How was the overall mopping compared to something like the Roborock S5, or the Xiaomi styjo2ym ( idealize thise are not self emptying, but dont want to give up quality for convenience)? Also I saw another review of this where they said it struggled with sand on a hardwood floor, did you notice that it struggled at all?
So for fine dirt pickup the best robots I tested were the Roborock S7 and S4. This is because their Extractor bar sits lower to the ground allowing them to pickup the sand.
@@RobotMasters Right but the S7 is not in the same price range, and amounts to almost twice the price once a warranty is added. So I guess that leaves the S4, but I am more concerned about mopping as I need it to do equally well at both and still be in that price range... (I also saw your videos on the Riaodmi eve plus and the Yeedi, but it looks like the Yeedi lacks the multiple map feature. )
@@PAUmerica I see, so the Roidmi from what I can tell is a good robot vacuum. The mopping on most of these robot vacuums are designed for light mopping tasks. You may want to look into the Braava Jet m6 or iLife w450 if you want better mopping performance. The Lydsto is the only robot vacuum that is at this price point that offers good cleaning performance, multi mapping and a decent self emptying system. While it may not clean as well as the S4 or S7.
Roidmi Eve plus is the better choice in this price range: two side brushes and the robot drivers into the station, so no wet mop on the floor -> no floor protection needed. The roidmi app is better and it supports the Xiaomi App, too. The only thing I like better in the R1 is the way the dust box is opened. But with the station, it is not relevant.
Where can you purchase the Roidmi Eve?
Great video as always! The $20 off coupon code isn’t working on Amazon 🥺
Sorry, I talked to the company and it only has the $40 coupon, removing the other one. $360
@@RobotMasters thanks for the quick reply. You are the man!
I literally got it for $187 in Amazon and grabbed 2 units , getting delivered this Friday exited to test its capabilities.
One big quest every were asking and un answered,
IF SOME ONE COULD HELP TELLING IF THIS ROBO WORKS WITH ALEXA OR GOOGLE HOME ?
Thanks in advance.
So from what I recall if the robot allows voice control you can only start and stop the robot. Unlike the iRobot where you can tell the robot to clean a specific area.
Very good for the low price
Good performance and features!!!
Hello there are some concerns about customer support as this company is not well known. Would you recommend this over a Proscenic M7 Pro? Nice mopping is required. Thank you, keep the hard work!
Yes I would, unfortunately the company is only through Amazon. They are a new company so can't say for sure about the future for them. On their store they say they offer a 2 year warranty. Proscenic is more established but the m7 Pro self emptying system struggled with lots of dirt and debris in the dustbin.
hello is supporting multi floor ??? because i cannot find something on app
Not sure if they updated the App to support multi maps
Hi, I just faced one issue I dont know if you can help but; I can't switch maps in the app how can i fix this?
Im facing the same issue as well .. any solutions ? The company Suppourt useless
Hello
i have a question. what you think is better Lydsto R1 or Robot Xiaomi Roidmi EVE Plus?
Thank you
Hmmmm haven’t personally tried the Eve Plus, but the Lydsto R1 a really good value. The self emptying system works well and found the robot to clean well. For $360 it hard to beat.
@@RobotMasters thank you my friend, for your fast answer and do luck for your channel
0:02 It sounds like the Kyvol S31 robot you reviewed a while ago.
LOL, it much better, especially the redesigned self emptying system and added electronic mopping feature.
Any bot especially a mid-premium bot like the Kyvol should of at least had an electronic water-tank. They really dropped the ball on that one.
So Roidmi Eve Plus or Lydsto R1?
Great balanced review by robot masters, this looks like an amazing value, using xiaomi white label bot and rebranding and existing app (I could not make it out on the video. Lydsto has delivered ALOT of value for the price!! I hope the build out a support plan.
Professor Robot Master is there a multi map option and where was the Lydsto store located? I did not find it on Amazon... Great 👍review!!
Thanks, so the store is basically the product listing on Amazon. I think they sell through Amazon and answer questions on there. They don’t use any other website or other online media.
Did you see a multiple map option?
@@ricke95126 Yes supports upto 3 maps, you can switch between the maps
Hello, can you tell me more details about this product? My mail box:RM_us1@163.com
Does it have any difference where it only has 1 arm? Compare to 2, does 2 clean better?
The only difference is the dual side brushes will allows it to collect more dirt and debris from a single pass. But if you run the robot multiple passes, it won’t make much of a difference.
@@RobotMasters which means, single brush must run more than 1 pass and double brush could done in 1 pass?
@@TheShaniceweiwei It recommend since dual side brushes can grab more dirt and debris from either side of the robot.
i have it now!
Nice!!!
Let me think... hmm... there might a toggle feature that allows the robot to empty and resume after each section in the scheduling feature, or you schedule it to run for a few minutes and then break for every 10 15 30 seconds.
Nice, you are very close!!! Here how I set it up. I divided that area in 5 sections so the dustbin won’t overflow. The robot will return after each section to empty. In the scheduling area I offset each zone by 10 minutes, giving it enough time to clean the area and return to empty it self.
@@RobotMasters oh wow that's smart! I have more info on the Roborock T7S Plus. In the app, you can toggle the self-emptying bin. There are four options: Intelligent, Come on come on, Daily, and Super Strong. The intelligent option is, well, the most intelligent option. The intelligent option will predict the status of the dust box. I am guessing that means it can calculate when it needs to empty without the Dirtbin Full sensor. Possibly could be an airflow sensor or timer system. This option can also improve dust collection efficiency. This option is best if you want the robot to keep cleaning until it is done no matter the environment. Most reviewers would probably choose this option, and even some customers, too. Come on come on is the weak one, meant for small, clean homes. It states that residue might stay in the bin because this option isn't meant for heavy duties or daily cleaning. The Self-Emptying base will run for a short period of time and is pretty weak in this setting. This option is recommended for very very clean homes as well as small homes. The Daily option is the basic option, typical to other self-emptying bins. It is the most balanced option between dust collection time and efficiency. Most users would probably use this option when using the robot on a schedule, or if you run it every day. The Super Strong option is, well, Super Strong! It is used for complex and dirty environments. The Self-Emptying base will empty for a long time and get pretty powerful. This option is recommended for Stress Tests like the rice test in your video.
Yeah hopefully I get one, anyways I think just a user based timer should satisfy most people needs. Also the ability to oscillate the suction might help get the stubborn dirt from the dust bin.
@@RobotMastersYeah I have high hopes for this Robot.
I think the next game changer is the 360 S10, from what I have seen so far the 3D mapping looks really cool.
Hi, would you recommend I get this as my first robo vacc?
Yeah it a good first vacuum cleaner. Just keep in mind it a new company so all their support through Amazon.
@@RobotMasters have you done any challenges or head 2 head comparisons with this vacmop? Wondering how it holds up long term.
@@nitanew1 No just the review and how it works. So since this is new to the market can’t say how long it will last in the long run.
Owned by Xiaomi?
Nathan, I have a lydsto R1, is my only robot vacuum now, and I have a 2 story house, I have 2 maps but I can't switch maps, can you please tell me how to switch the maps?
Hmmmm I think there a map saving in the settings. Can you send some screen shots of the map and app to nate2003@comcast.net
I am in the process to rebuild my maps after so many trays, I will send you the pictures later, thanks you always respond to comments asap
Who is the best Lydsto R1 or S5 Max?
Well from what I observed, the S5 Max is a little more refined in its App features and the way it navigates. The Lydsto is cheaper than the S5 Max and offering higher suction and self emptying system. So you are getting a better robot vacuum spec wise. As for durability, I not sure how long both models would last. Despite the Lydsto being cheaper, it feel like it was cheaply made. So if it was my choice I would go with the Lydsto since it cheaper and comes with a self emptying system.
My lydsto R1 is constantly moving out of charging in and out, I don't know what to do...any recommendations?
Hmmmm make sure the charging contacts are wiped clean on both the robot and docking station. Also ensure the docking station is getting power. You can try turning the robot on and off again.
Thanks Nathan, I finally figured out, one of the spring contacts was always depressed, unable to be in contact with the vacuum, what a shame. I really like this vacuum for the price so I returned and ordered a new one, hopefully it will work right this time. Thanks again
hello do u know if it support multi floorm
Well at the time of filming this the company said they were going to add multi floor support. Not sure if they were able to offer this feature later on. If you want multi floor support look at the Roborock models, 360, Ecovacs or the iRobot models. I know for sure those brands have this feature.
That's a bummer, did the coupon code expire already?
$299 today
You still have to strip down and clean the underneath and brushes so I recon a couple of uses and your still gonna have to hoover all the hair and dust out
Yes the robot itself requires weekly maintenance
I have a neatsvor and a dibea and they are great hoovers as long as you keep them serviced
It's $299 crazy price in Amazon today!!!!!
Where do you get the bags
I believe through Amazon. You get 6 disposable bags and 30 disposable mopping pads in the box. Also the bag are similar to the Neabot, Kyvol, m7 Pro, so in theory your could buy those and cut out the cardboard to shape.
Nice presentation, since it is a Xiaomi it does what they do best. Copy their flag ship robot the Roborock (eventhough Roborock left the firm). It looks a lot like the Roidmi Eve Plus. If you get your hands on a Roidmi Eve Plus please check if the main brush and burhs cover are interchangeable. From what i saw they look a lot alike except that the Roidmis heads don't come off. Also pls check the mop pads and dust bags. If they match i will buy the Lydsto brush since this is the main thing that i don't like at my Roidmi but is not such a big of an inconvenience. I forgot to ask, does this robot in this movie have the Y mopping mode? Tnx, keep up the good work, I started to enjoy your movies more than Vaccum Wars, he focuses to much in hand cordless vacuums lately.
Thanks, that means a lot. Vacuum Wars does very scientific videos. Anyways the Roidmi Eve Plus is something I hope to get on my channel. The extractor bar is different than the Roborock. But the ends can be removed. The bags could fit in other models and vice versa, may need to trim the card board backing. The Robot doesn't have a Y mopping pattern, just a normal vacuum pattern while mopping. For the value it really good.
@@RobotMasters yes I know itis cheaper, I got confused when i saw it about 100$ cheaper on Aliexpress. I still think the Roidmi Eve is better and would perform a little better on hard flors because of it's 2 side brushes. This robot also has a small disadvantage because from what i see it doesn't have a plastic cover on it's bottom so if you place it on wood floors with a wet mop pad attached can become problematic.
@@CountPorcula That true there no plastic mopping plate for the bin, you could always make one. The design of the base allows the robot to clean closer around it. I like the iRobot self emptying system but the plastic base sometimes accumulates dirt which causes docking issues.
I did wish there was dual side brushes, something all robot vacuums should incorporate.
This is definitely a competitor to the shark iq and deebot t8/n8
what about the warranty and such? How do you get in contact with the company?
So the only way to get with them is through Amazon, they have a store. On their page they responded to a customer question saying they offer a 2 year warranty. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a website or any other information.
Where was the store on Amazon I could not find it
Hey Brent, so you have had it for a month now, what say you? How do multiple floors work with one base? Any squeaks, app stable supplies?

hi which one is better s5 max or lydsto r1?
Well as we compare to performance, both compared very similar in navigation, pickup ability and App features. If I had to choose, the App on the Lydtol was better. Lydsto is a new company so they only sell through Amazon. Roborock been out for awhile.

Why do you pick this over the Roidmi Eve plus?
Big difference is the price, haven’t personally tried the Eve plus. The Lydsto from my testing performed well and the self emptying system was decent.
@@RobotMasters thanks for the info :) in my country, both are almost the same price, was wondering which i should get. I like the black of rydsto tho, roidmi seems to be better function wise?
@@TheShaniceweiwei I would go with the Roidmi if it similar priced. Just based on specs it better than the Lydsto
You did the test by scheduling the robot to clean at a certain time, and then filmed it.
Yes and also had each area timed in the scheduling app. This is the only way I know I can get the robot to self emptying in a given room, if it very messy.
After seeing the price dip to $299 I thought what the heck, I'll pull the trigger on this, I decided to try to email the company one last time, I went to their website, and they took down their email address, so I called the CS phone number is I got a 4-word outgoing message in Mandarin I believe then rhe line disconnected. Can't leave a message. I fear this is buy it as it is and don't count on anything more from this outfit. If it becomes unusable Amazon is your only hope for a return.
