most affordable model in this range \u2013 but it is far from entry-level in its features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 30,000Pa of suction power, it sucks up even the toughest dirt, while its roller mop pad performs exceptionally for wet cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional convenience features include the ability to climb obstacles up to 4cm, and a built-in AI-powered camera that recognises over 220 different obstacle types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a sleek design, the Robot Vacuum 6 can fit into tighter spaces \u2013 particularly under furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This ensures a comprehensive and truly autonomous home clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its base station is also incredibly impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It supports 80-degree hot-water mop washing and can handle up to 75 days of hands-free cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 is <strong><a

offers several significant improvements over the standard model, primarily focused on intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its triple-camera AI system can recognise more than 280 objects, including those as small as 3mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simultaneously, 360-degree LiDAR ensures seamless navigation around your home \u2013 and the Pro model can even detect your pet to avoid bumping into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining the AI camera system and this pet detection technology means you can even check in on your pets while at work through the Xiaomi Mi Home app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a more intelligent clean, Xiaomi has equipped the Pro model to recognise 47 stain types and automatically adjust its cleaning approach accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will increase suction for particle-based messes, wash its mop before re-addressing liquid spills, and actively avoid complex solid-liquid hybrid spills if it is concerned it would simply smear it across the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning is further optimised with the roller mopping system that features 16 water outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This keeps the mop moist, while dual extending mechanical arms improve coverage along walls and in corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Pro is <strong>priced at R21,999.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Max<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure

flagship model in this range, and is headlined by increased 35,000Pa suction power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It retains the Pro model\u2019s innovative triple-camera AI recognition system, while a retractable dToF radar system helps the vacuum adjust to its surroundings when navigating low-clearance areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A standout feature of this robot vacuum is its set of bionic mechanical legs, allowing it to cross single steps that are up to 6cm high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its triple-mechanical-arm system then improves vacuuming and mopping coverage around edges and other difficult areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further convenience, the Max model includes a self-cleaning roller, dual anti-tangle side brushes, and even a hair-cutting main brush designed to reduce debris build-up during regular use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The accompanying Omni Station provides automated hot-water washing and drying for the mop system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Xiaomi Robot Vacuum 6 Max is <strong><a
