Midea All-in-One Mop Robot Vacuum Cleaner V12
Hello, this is Yehwa, a robot vacuum enthusiast
Today, I brought the Midea Robot Vacuum Cleaner V12
This year, I reviewed a lot of robot vacuum cleaners
which reflects the high number of new releases
Nevertheless
the main reasons people still hesitate using robot vacuum cleaners are
Space and Cost
Actually, cost is the biggest factor
So, if you look for cheaper options
you may find some lacking features
causing putting your purchase off
For those in this situation
I’d like to introduce a robot vacuum cleaner
that is reasonably priced yet fully equipped
To compare it to cars
it feels like a Santa Fe or Sorento
Let me walk you through its features
and assess whether it’s suitable
as an entry-level model
(all_it studio)
Midea?
It’s not a brand we are particularly familiar with
It’s a home appliance brand known for its focus on affordability
offering great value for products like air conditioners, washing machines, and dryers
On a global scale
As of 2022, they ranked 7th globally in patent ownership
In 2023, they became the world's #1 in-home appliance sales
exporting to 200 countries
They’ve also got plenty of experience as an OEM for major home appliance brands in Korea
so the quality is pretty solid
You know
those brands that aren't super famous here
but are already huge worldwide?
This is one of them
The retail price is 1,149,900 KRW ($813)
but you can get it for around 600,000 KRW ($424) on Coupang
I chose the black color
and although I’ve used many robot vacuum cleaners
most of them were either white or in light tones
This time, I wanted to try something different
It’s not a glossy jet black
but more of a matte dark gray
which gives it a sleek and premium vibe
It’s similar to the Samsung Bespoke Steam I reviewed earlier
but this one has a slightly deeper tone
The package includes the main unit, a station,
side brushes, a pair of mops, and a dust bag — simple
This has a slightly unique design
featuring a square shape with rounded corners
It looks like it’ll clean every corner thoroughly
and the angular design gives it a nice, stable vibe
The size is rather compact
and the height is kind of low about 10cm to 11cm
Maybe that's why it's good to clean every corner
of the table or under the bed
The main brush is a normal
V-shaped rubber brush
There are two side brushes
Side brushes have their pros and cons depending on the number
but having two is super handy for cleaning corners effectively
The design of the robot vacuum cleaner itself is not circular
So it will be more advantageous, right?
The station is the same color tone as a robot vacuum cleaner
And it's a bit long vertically
One minor downside is that
even though you won't have to move it much
But there's no handle to carry it with
The dust bag is in the front
It's 3L
which you can use it for 75 days at a time
Replacing it every two months isn’t too much of a hassle
so it’s not a big inconvenience
Consumables like dust bags, brushes, and mops
can be purchased on Coupang
But they’re only available through overseas shipping right now
so it takes a bit longer to arrive, which is the downside
It's a bit expensive
But you don't buy it often
I don't think there's any need to worry.
There's a water tank space up there
Water purification and sewage are the same
It's 4.7L, which is more than enough.
Personally, I think this is the best water bottle design.
Both the sewage and water bottles are transparent, so it's good to check the contents
I also like that they wrote the text in a readable way.
I was a bit confused, so I put it in and out a lot.
Overall, it's neat and detailed
I think you can give it a passing score.
You all know how to install it, right?
Download the SmartHome app and
All you have to do is link the product and map it.
I didn't expect it because of the price
It took about six minutes to map 45 pyeong.
It was really fast.
It's a bit unfortunate that there's no automatic recognition function for the types of things
It was good to be able to set the room merger, division, and cleaning oder
It was nice to be able to make several maps.
Also, the NaviPolaris 5.0 algorithm and
AI dual-view sensor detect low objects well
It's always better to see it for yourselves, right?
It does avoide well
(Battery capacity 5200mAh) I watched it for 30 minutes
There was no collision at all
The app’s experimental features
include enhanced avoidance of low obstacles
and a detailed edge-cleaning mode
When you enable the setting, it cleans with a slight wiggle
which actually helps it do a great job with corners
It’s said to handle thresholds up to 2cm
so I tested it with a wooden plank
No problem at all
I could adjust the vacuum suction in three stages
(Turbo)
(Normal)
(Silent)
Turbo was a bit loud
and Normal and Silent was very quiet
The sound of the brushes spinning sounded even louder
After trying out many robot vacuum cleaner
I find it best when using them on normal mode
So, I use the normal mode
Vacuum power is 5,000Pa, which is good enough
Sure, strong suction is great
but it also means more noise
So honestly, I’m not sure if max power is always worth it
As long as it can handle common messes like snack crumbs and hair
I think that’s good enough
I tested with some dirt and crumbs
It was all nice and clean
and hair was also completely vacuumed
The mop doesn’t have a separate water tank inside
Instead, it wets the mop at the station before cleaning
Plus, you can adjust the cleaning intensity to 3 levels in the app
If less water is used
the cleaning area per session decreases
making the cleaning time shorter
When it's set to 'Daily'
It can cover 10 square meters
For a living room in a 99 square meters house
It returns to the station for a refill about 2 or 3 times
The mop uses a rotating system, and I was honestly surprised
by how powerful it is
While the pressure is about 700g
which is normal
But the rotation speed of 200RPM
holds its own even against flagship models
We did another test with some cola and ketchup
It was all nice and clean
If there's something disappointing
it doesn’t have an automatic mop-lifting feature
If it moves onto a carpet, the mop can get damp
or worn out, reducing lifespan
It would’ve been perfect if it had this feature
But! There are ways to work around it
First, you can switch to
vacuum-only mode in the app
to avoid using the mop
Another option is to set up no-go zones
or specifically mark areas as mop-free zones
Of course, it also has a zone-cleaning feature
so you can clean only the areas you want
When the cleaning is done
It automatically empties the dustbin, washing the mop
and even drying it
The only noticeable noise occurs during the dust-emptying process
While the rest is almost noiseless
Also, one of the biggest issues with robot vacuum cleaners over time
is the smell that develops on the mop
From a user’s perspective
The mop-drying feature really stands out
I personally loved the 55°C hot-air drying
Some flagship models
dry mops at 40°C
I was initially skeptical
But once I saw how well it dried, it was dry and soft
"Doesn’t every vacuum have hot-air drying these days?"
Some of you might be thinking like that
Sure, but at this price
having this kind of hot-air drying..
That's impressive
How it circulates air
to dry also the pipes and the inside of the station
with hot air was unique too
Actually, Midea is
well-known for making great dryers and dishwashers
Maybe that’s why they’re so serious about drying
Lastly, let me go over a few extra features
You don’t need to empty the dustbin every single time, right?
You can set it to empty once every 3 or 5 cleaning cycles
to help reduce noise
Plus, the app lets you track when consumable parts need replacing
The app’s UI is super clean, right?
It even has a Kids Lock feature, which allows control only through the app
and a smart voice recognition system
Sure, these are features you’ll find in other robot vacuums
But considering the price, it feels like I'm getting benefits
Remember how I compared this product
to a Santa Fe or Sorento?
It’s got a solid design, great features, and an overall smooth performance
This product is very versatile
and the price is reasonable
I think that's why it is so popular
In that sense, this model
has solid suction and mopping performance
convenient app settings, and high-temperature hot-air drying
It's got everything you need
It's good at driving
Especially, sensors work exceptionally well
I think that alone makes it worth the purchase
If you buy it on Coupang
you can get a 2-year warranty included
That's it for today's video
