These are the types of reviews you need once in a while and you're pleasantly surprised on the quality of the review. I could listen to this guy reviewing vacuums all day!
Awesome review. This channel continues to inch higher on my all time favourite you tube channel. But I’m a big time vacuum geek. Thankfully I now have a home. Thank you.
@@VacuumWars Thanks a lot - ya I do video production for a living. I have thought about doing a channel on youtube about vacuums for years, but now that I have found your videos, no need - you're doing such a great job.
just a reminder on that the bissell featherweight is said to be one year lasting but its been 2 years since i buyed the vac and still runnin perfect. that is one in 30
Bought 3 days ago because of this video (and after watching about 20 of your videos) and have to say that I am (and the missus is) in love with this machine
It lasted 14 months. Twice per week usage, cleaning a 50sqm apartment. Now it goes from "fully charged" to dead in less than one minute on normal speed. Replacing the battery costs way too much and it's out of the 1-year warranty so it's a write-off. Seems like many people have had this problem, not just me. Next stop, Dyson
The battery lasts a year and then you need to throw the whole thing away. Also, there are 3 hard plastic "wheels" on the bottom of the roller extension that (at first) are covered with a soft laminate. This laminate soon wears off and then the solid edged plastic wheels will scratch your parquet (when they're not matted with hair). In short, cheap and nasty business. Buy nice, or you will buy twice. I've learned the hard way.
Most complete vacuum review videos, thank you.... I live in China and here Roidmi is $ 233, but I bought Dyson V8 $ 468 today, I think as second option I could choose after Dyson this Roidmi.
I forgot mention, there is a V8 Dyson Carbon Fiber with 155AW vs 115AW V8 even cheaper price, but must be imported from Malaysia or some South Asian countries, but the warranty policy from the Chinese seller did not cover the battery.
Cheap and good as long as it works. I purchased the F8 in first lot, It was really great as long as it worked. Now the electric brush stopped working . No support from company and unable to buy a replacement as they don't sell it. Other consumables are available to purchase. So beware if it works it is a great vacuum
In your Dyson V11 vs V10 video you indicated that the V10's suction was 18, 24 and 41 yet in this video you claim the suction is 24, 31 and 53. Could you explain?
One aspect that you may want to consider testing is how much dirt stays in the bin and how much goes to the filter after usage. You can have the most powerful vacuum in the world but if the filter clogs up, the power will diminish. The Dyson does this very well, with the filter almost as new after repeated usage. How was it with the Roidmi?
Very attractive design and some really cool features. But not sure about that internal battery. Not sure about reliability. Not sure about support. I'll have to wait for some real world users to comment after 6 or so months. As for your vids, excellent stuff. The methodology and straightforward commentary is spot on. Thanks for doing this. Oh, can you add edge of wall vacuuming performance?
just got one of these to supplement my robot vacuum... loving it so far. hopefully, it lasts longer than my Samsung vu7000, that Samsung had insane suction though
Please do a review on Philips SpeedStick Pro. Apparently, it has long batt life and strong suction power with a vacuum head that can pick up dirt n dust 360 degree. This will be a unique challenge to Dyson 10 n Shark.
Hi! I have had this vacuum cleaner for almost 2 weeks now and I absolutely love it on my hardwood floors. I basically use it on medium power but when I activate the turbo suction it stops after five seconds and I can’t activate it again unless I turn the machine off and on again. I have emptied the dust bin from the top and cleaned it but the problem continues. Could you help? Thanks in advance!
You keep saying budget vac, so I thought this vacuum must be inexpensive. Checked on gearbest and nope, it is $350 before a coupon. Much better option is to buy a v7 or a shark ion for the price. Shark ion is currently $150 at Sam's.
I did mention the term budget vac a few times in comparison, but I don't consider this a budget vac but rather a premium, that's why I said it was the cheapest of the premium vacs toward the end.
Nice, but too bad about the tiny dust bin. I have 3 dogs, so those bins fill fast. But worse than the dog hair is one super-long wool rug - it's a vacuum choker. That extra bit of flex hose looks useful. It's not powered, is it? Would you say the bin is easy to take apart for deep cleaning? Gotta say, this one is tempting. Maybe if it stays upstairs away from the vacuum choking flokati rug.
Yeah the small dust bin is a bit of an issue. No the hose thingy isnt powered, I was thinking it would be cool if it was, you could plug the pet tool to it and stairs and upholstery would be a breeze.
Nice review but you forgot about the service xiaomi provide is one of the worse in the world I bought a xiaomi roidmi f8, after a year my battery drains for me that is ok its normal, if they only got a service center that will repair it, or they would sell me a spare battery, but no, I bought my unit online so local service centers here don’t want to accept my unit for repair because it wasn’t bought from them, even if I am willing to pay for the service. So I tried contacting xiaomi global if they would sell me spare battery instead so that I could replace it myself but they don’t sell the batteries they told me to send the unit to them in which they are located in HK or China and they will be the one to repair it, well if I did send them my unit I might as well buy a new one because of the shipping fee would cost more than a new one plus I need to pay for their service. So as a user I regret buying this xiaomi f8, its like i bought a disposable vacuum cleaner. For me this thing is not comparable to dyson so don’t be fooled. If I can do it all over again I would have never bought this xiaomi f8 or any xiaomi products.
Why is it that virtually every UA-cam vacuum channel refuse to respond to questions regarding the Xiaomi Dreame V9 or Xiaomi Mijia? It is one of the most requested reviews (read the comment section), yet the official response is.....silence....hmmm🤔
Can I have any comment regarding long human hairs? I have a shark (from 2016) now and it's just terrible. I have to clean the brush with a knife every weekend. I am looking for some cordless vacuum which would handle my wife's hair (and I don't want to pay for V11 ;) )
this is such a very helpful review for me but still got a question tho. im now trying to get one of this, but not much sure if this also can replace the battery like 2yrs latter after i purchase this. there is so many people saying that even Dyson got some sort of batter efficient issues after using like 1-2yrs. and i do now that Dyson is enable to replace it, i wondering if this also do so. thank you!
As of today it's $412 on that website and $325 on Amazon, but Dyson V10 is still a better deal. For $500 you get with with many free accessories (worth $150 as they say) and a 2 year worry free warranty
From the perspective of the Indian market, the Roidmi is a clear winner. It's priced at INR 21,000 (direct dealer price). The soft roller is sold separately and costs INR 2,000. In total, it comes up to INR 23,000. On the other hand, the Dyson V7 goes for INR 27,000. The soft roller is sold separately and costs INR 3,500. However, it has been out of stock since November 2020. Every other accessory is in stock except the soft roller. I suspect Dyson is doing this to discourage Indian consumers from buying the cheaper variant and instead buy the V8, which comes with a soft roller as standard offering. However, it's priced at INR 39,900. Just to give more context, the average white collar professional in the largest Indian city, Mumbai, makes between INR 50,000 to INR 70,000 a month. I wrote to Dyson explaining the pricing issue and quizzed them on non-availability of the soft roller. But I received a generic corporate response which was a thinly veiled sales pitch for the V8. I seriously don't understand why vacuum makers offer the carpet brush as standard in India, where almost no apartment or house has a fitted carpet. Finally, @Vacuum wars, could you elaborate on the after sales service provided by Xiaomi (Roidmi)? I ask because the battery will wear out some day. In that case, does the company offer a replacement? I spoke with the Roidmi techs here but they didn't have an answer.
@@QUINSYlarynx They say the battery dies, filter needs to be changed not just washed and attachments wear down over time. I can get a v8 instead for 28k on sale so I am conflicted. How is the Roidmi after sales in India?
@@Rosanjo9 over a period of a year, I noticed a reduction of a few minutes in its backup. I don't think that's significant. As for filters, you don't have to wash them. In fact, none of the components should be wet cleaned. The kit comes with 2 hepa filters. 1 hepa filter lasts 6-8 months after which you need to replace it. I think that's not a whole lot of expense. The attachments don't wear out. The pile on the hard floor brush is still functional enough to pick up dirt and dust. I vaccum almost everyday. Overall, I am totally happy with this. We got rid of the cleaning lady and we don't have to vaccum and mop everyday. The F8 storm does a great job. Fyi, I bought it for inr 23,000 last year.
Durability looks bad very thin plastic near the swivel head and other parts and if it is like Apple then the glue will play a big part I will be interested in its life span before it fails? and at 300 it is too much
Only when you send it away, and the cost of replacing is more than the thing is worth. Just been through it myself. 14 months is how long mine has lasted. Never again
We have to stop buying products that are throw away plastic. I was ready to consider this vacuum until I read that you cannot change the battery. I'm not a zealot about this, but our space for trash on this earth is finite. Where will our trash go?
I'm checking reviews on vacuum cleaners these days and I must say: Yours is one of the top notch reviewing channels. Thanks for the hard work!
These are the types of reviews you need once in a while and you're pleasantly surprised on the quality of the review.

Awesome review. This channel continues to inch higher on my all time favourite you tube channel. But I’m a big time vacuum geek. Thankfully I now have a home. Thank you.
Amazing! thanks!
Also did you do those videos on your channel? They are next level good!

This thing is way better than the Dyson alternative I was using. I like that it can pick up bigger things instead of pushing them around
Bought 3 days ago because of this video (and after watching about 20 of your videos) and have to say that I am (and the missus is) in love with this machine

Great review. The F8 looks very space age and performs very well. Love the fact it has a sealed system. 👌
Lol space age 🚀

I snagged a Roidmi S2 version of this vacuum at Amazon last month for just $160. What a bargain. It is a lovely bit of kit.

How does this compare to the Xiaomi Dreame V9?
do u review new Xiaomi Dreame V9 ?
3:33 Apple in the vacuum business: $999 vacuum charging dock accessory!
Cheap and good as long as it works. I purchased the F8 in first lot, It was really great as long as it worked. Now the electric brush stopped working . No support from company and unable to buy a replacement as they don't sell it. Other consumables are available to purchase. So beware if it works it is a great vacuum
I found replacement and upgrade parts readily available for very good prices online. Walmart, Amazon, and Alibaba.
In your Dyson V11 vs V10 video you indicated that the V10's suction was 18, 24 and 41 yet in this video you claim the suction is 24, 31 and 53. Could you explain?
Looks great overall! Its just a bit silly to have an app block of one the settings.
Yeah, Im not sure what that was about. It makes me wonder if more vacs had apps how much you could control power stuff.
One aspect that you may want to consider testing is how much dirt stays in the bin and how much goes to the filter after usage. You can have the most powerful vacuum in the world but if the filter clogs up, the power will diminish. The Dyson does this very well, with the filter almost as new after repeated usage. How was it with the Roidmi?
Thats a good point, Im not sure. It would be difficult to test but I will try to think of something. Thanks!
@@VacuumWars any update on this?
Already excited for the new roidmi nex model
Please review dreame v9
Please review and compare it with Xiaomi Dreame V9.
Very attractive design and some really cool features. But not sure about that internal battery. Not sure about reliability. Not sure about support. I'll have to wait for some real world users to comment after 6 or so months. As for your vids, excellent stuff. The methodology and straightforward commentary is spot on. Thanks for doing this.

Can you review the dreame v9
THIS IS link Dreame V9 On Amazon.com :www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMFKQ8B?ref=myi_title_dp
You should speak more about filtration on bagless machines overall -- having to wash filters often is not fun
Yeah, there are pros and cons, plus the only bagged cordless I know if is the Oreck pod, and it doesnt seem to be selling very well.
Amazing vid. Can you also review the Dream V9P?
just got one of these to supplement my robot vacuum... loving it so far. hopefully, it lasts longer than my Samsung vu7000, that Samsung had insane suction though
Thaks for you rewievs. all info for we need about vacuums. great works.
Thanks!
Please help me to solve the error E3-3 of this vacuum, the status light flashes red and blue alternately
The problem is that when the battery is dead you cannot replace it not like dyson where you can purchase the battery 🔋 after a year or so
Just had this problem
Is the F8 the same as the S1E?
Please do a review on Philips SpeedStick Pro. Apparently, it has long batt life and strong suction power with a vacuum head that can pick up dirt n dust 360 degree. This will be a unique challenge to Dyson 10 n Shark.

How would you compare this Roidmi F8 to Shark Ionflex P50?
Could you do a whole review series of air purifiers? Thanks for the great reviews!
Hello Friend from Kazakhstan! Do you plan to test a Deerma VC20 vacuum cleaner?
This seems better for stairs that the P50. I would really be curious to know what your favorite vacuum just for stairs is.
Can you do a review of the roidmi nex storm, I’ve been talking about it to my mom about getting one but she doesn’t believe that it is that good
Sooo does it have a fade free battery?
It seemed to, I think all the fairly expensive vacs do. I really only notice fading with really cheap vacs.
Can you please review the xiaomi dreame t100
Sweet review! Thanks for sharing :D
Thanks! and I appreciate you stopping by and commenting!

Can you please review the invictus x9 and 7
Hey, possible to do a review on Dibea D18 to see how it stacks up against others
Yeah I will be doing a Dibea in the new year
Hello, can you please tell me the rated power of both brushes please? thank you!!
Hello, when can you test the F8 Storm PRO new model?
Does the soft roller brush in Roidmi Or Xiaomi Dreame V9 work well on low profile carpets? What would you recommend? Roidmi F8 or Dreame V9
As Dreame V9 have 20KPa EXTREME SUCTION,it works well on low profile carpets, i bought it On amazon in USA a week ago,
the link on amazon :www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMFKQ8B?ref=myi_title_dp , you can check it our
Looking forward to your review of Riodmi Nex X20

How do u get rid of the dirt/hair that gets trapped on the two smaller rollers at the sides?
Hello! I found a solution ua-cam.com/video/uyjiNOhC47s/v-deo.html
FLUFFY BRUSH!!!
Thanks yo so much!
Glad to finally get this one done!
Can I have any comment regarding long human hairs? I have a shark (from 2016) now and it's just terrible. I have to clean the brush with a knife every weekend. I am looking for some cordless vacuum which would handle my wife's hair (and I don't want to pay for V11 ;) )
Bought roidmi after watching ur video. Thanks!
Question, how often do i have to change filter?
Not exacty sure, The main thing is to keep the filter clean (check it often), if you do that it will last a long time.
If Apple made vacuums it would be more like a Dyson only with wireless connectivity.
I think you are right.
Which do you think is better, Roidmi F8 or Dream V9?
SOLD
Lol, yeah, its pretty cool.
Looking on eBay now for 60-80 dollars
probably not much on Ebay right now since its so new. I looked and there are some but WAY higher than the normal price.
Looks so so cool
Yeah, very sleek.
how good is the seal? it doesn't really show in the video
Guys could you let me know if a vacum of any of you....stinks? (When on). Like a burnt plastic or an oil?
Could I have the battery life on medium power? Please and thank you
Ill test it today.
28:39 min I have no idea why it is so clost to the 29 min on low power, but there you go.
this is such a very helpful review for me but still got a question tho. im now trying to get one of this, but not much sure if this also can replace the battery like 2yrs latter after i purchase this. there is so many people saying that even Dyson got some sort of batter efficient issues after using like 1-2yrs. and i do now that Dyson is enable to replace it, i wondering if this also do so. thank you!
It does not have a removable battery.
thanks!
As of today it's $412 on that website and $325 on Amazon, but Dyson V10 is still a better deal. For $500 you get with with many free accessories (worth $150 as they say) and a 2 year worry free warranty
Any tips on how to remove the filter. I have not been able to remove it since I use it
The filter is on the back of the dust bin, it just pulls out.
I know but its impossible.. I have tried pulling it since day 1. Now it has been 1 month
Yeah, apple is already in the vacuum business...that's dyson. The two brands love each other.
Cool very cool!
Yeah I think so!
Yesssss
Yeah, finally got it!
which is better v7 absolute or the xiaomi, they are same price
I havent tested the V7 but the V8 is better.
xiaomi is very confusing. they have dreame, roidmi, mijia and roborock. why cant they just make it 1 brand
before 100
Thats a thing.
Apple? Vaccums?... I do not want a thousand dollar vaccum... And for some reason add the W1 chip inside for "faster bluetooth connectivity"
lol, you are probably right.
Outstanfing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
3:30 lol yes

Xiaomi is gonna put Dyson out of business. Dyson V10 is the biggest FLOP in history. LMFAO
I disagree its but far our favorite cordless. But it is very pricey.
Not a budget product $452.33 but cheap for the rich
Doesn’t look western
No apple don't get into the vacuum buissness . Keep your junk confined to phones and tablets
I use samaung for phones, but man there is nothing like a high end macbook pro for video editing.
Vacuum Wars I'd hope they're better than the tablets lol
Apple will make overpriced vacuums
