Robot Vacuum H50 / H50 Pro
2 independent reviewsRead the findings →Xiaomi's mid-range vacuum and mop, with arms that push the brush and a mop pad into corners. It suits mostly hard floors with fiddly edges, which come up very clean. It's weaker on deep carpet, and can drag cables around.

What reviewers found
Two home tests so far: connect in Germany, which tried it before launch, and TechRadar Benelux in an 80m² flat. Both praise the edge and corner cleaning and the compact dock, and both found mopping good on everyday marks. Carpet split them, with connect happy and TechRadar not. So did obstacles: connect had few problems, while TechRadar had cables dragged and chargers pulled from sockets. Keep your floors clear and your hopes for thick rugs modest.
TechRadar Benelux, hands-on, Jul 2026 · connect, hands-on, May 2026 (Tested before launch)
Hard floors
Reviewers rate it highlyconnect found oats, crumbs and grit on tiles and wood cleared quickly, and TechRadar Benelux found it far stronger on hard floors than rugs, with the extending brush and mop getting right into corners and along skirting.
Carpet and rugs
Mixed resultsIt depends on the pile. connect found its living-room carpet reliably cleared of hair and dust, but TechRadar Benelux found a thicker rug still not fully clean even after the robot boosted its suction.
Pet hair
Not enough evidenceOnly connect judged hair: it lifted hair from carpet, little stuck to the brush, and it rated the robot suitable for pet owners. No other review we use has tested pet hair.
Mopping
Mixed resultsTechRadar Benelux rated the mopping highly, with the extending pad leaving no dry strip along edges. connect found small marks came off well, but barbecue sauce left residue after two passes, which it put down to light pad pressure.
Navigation and obstacles
Mixed resultsconnect found avoidance generally good, if a little clumsy with chair legs. TechRadar Benelux had it drag a power-strip cable until a router fell and wind a charger lead round a mop, though runs went smoothly once cables were cleared.
Dock and upkeep
Reviewers rate it highlyBoth liked the compact dock. connect found it low-maintenance with large tanks and quick pad drying, and TechRadar Benelux got three or four cleans per tank, though it had to rinse the washing tray by hand.
App and software
Mixed resultsconnect found the app easy but not extensive, with rugs to be marked by hand. TechRadar Benelux found the key settings up front, but picking several rooms needs a separate menu, and its first update failed twice.
Noise
Not enough evidenceNone of the reviews we use tested its noise yet.
Reliability and support
Not enough evidenceNone of the reviews we use has run it long-term or judged Xiaomi's support yet.
Value
Reviewers rate it highlyconnect rated the value for money as good, and TechRadar Benelux rated it highly for value, since under €500 buys an extending mop and brush that some pricier rivals lack.
Verdicts come from independent, hands-on, finished reviews. An area needs at least two of them before we say more than “Not enough evidence”. We don't score robots ourselves. How this works
Edges and corners are its strength
Both tests agree on this. TechRadar Benelux watched the mop pad push right up against the skirting, run straight along it and back into corners after the side brush had swept them, pressing hard round plant pots too. connect also found edge cleaning good while vacuuming and mopping, with the pad reaching well along the kitchen plinth. If dust lines along walls annoy you, the extending arm does real work here.
Clear the cables first
TechRadar Benelux had a rough time. On its first run the robot caught a 5mm power-strip cable and dragged it until a router and hub came off a side table. Another time a phone charger lead wound round a mop and was almost pulled from the socket, while the robot kept driving. Once the cables were picked up, cleaning went smoothly and it avoided chair legs. connect found avoidance generally fine, though chair legs gave it some trouble. Tidy up before every run.
Carpet results depend on the pile
connect found the living-room carpet reliably cleared of hair and dust, with the mops lifted by about 10mm on carpet. TechRadar Benelux had a thicker rug that still wasn't fully clean even after the robot detected it and boosted suction, and saw the mops brush the rug's edges. They also disagree on detection: connect says it didn't recognise rugs automatically, so you mark them on the map. Thin rugs should be fine; thick ones are a gamble.
Good at daily mopping, not sauce
Small marks on tiles came off well for connect, but barbecue sauce left residue after two passes, so it thinks the pads press too lightly. TechRadar Benelux rated the mopping highly, especially how the extending pad left no strip of floor dry along edges and round obstacles. Scrape up thick spills first, and treat it as a daily wipe rather than a scrubber.
A compact dock, some jobs left
Both liked how small the dock is for what it does. connect noted two 4-litre tanks and a bag Xiaomi rates for about 75 days, and TechRadar Benelux got three or four runs of an 80m² flat per tank. There's no detergent compartment and no spare pads or brushes in the box, per connect. TechRadar adds that the dock can't clean its washing tray automatically, so you rinse it by hand.
connect and TechRadar Benelux reviewed in German and Dutch; their findings are summarised here in English. Both tested the H50 Pro.
Our take
Should you buy the Robot Vacuum H50 / H50 Pro?
Best for: Homes with hard floors where dirt gathers along room edges. Skip it if: You have thick carpets or usually leave clutter on the floor.
Buy the H50 Pro if your home is mostly hard floors with fiddly edges, you keep cables off the floor and you want a dock that washes and dries the mops without taking over the room. If you have lots of thick carpet or cables you can't tidy away, look at the Roborock Qrevo S Pro or the eufy Omni C20 instead.
The H50 Pro sits between Xiaomi's charge-only S40 Pro and its pricier flagships. Its party trick is reach: the side brush and one mop pad swing out on arms to get right into corners, along skirting boards and around table legs. It also has a proper dock that empties the bin into a bag, washes the mop pads and dries them with warm air, and the robot is a fairly low 9.3cm with the raised sensor.
The trade-off is suction and awareness. It's weaker than many rivals on deep carpet, and one of the two testers had cables dragged across the room. The dock doesn't clean its own washing tray or add detergent, so you still have some chores.
Before you buy
The questions people ask about this one
Will it avoid cables and pet mess?
Not reliably. TechRadar Benelux saw it catch and drag a thick power-strip cable and wind a charger lead round a mop, and it didn't stop when stuck. connect had fewer problems. Neither tested pet mess, so pick up anything you'd hate it to run over.
Does it fit under low furniture?
It's 9.3cm tall with a fixed laser turret, per the specifications. connect still found it went under the sofa, and TechRadar Benelux says it fits under most furniture. Measure your lowest gap; you need a little over 9.3cm.
Can it cross rugs and raised thresholds between rooms?
The mops lift by 10mm on carpet, and Xiaomi suggests avoiding carpet thicker than 8mm when mopping, per the specifications. TechRadar Benelux saw the pads brush rug edges and a thick rug left not fully clean. Xiaomi doesn't state a climbing height.
How often do I have to empty or refill anything?
Less than with a basic robot. The dock has 4-litre clean and dirty tanks and a bag Xiaomi rates for up to 75 days, per the specifications. TechRadar Benelux managed three to four cleans of an 80m² flat per tank, but you rinse the washing tray yourself.
Does it need an account?
Yes. It runs through the Xiaomi Home app. TechRadar Benelux found setup and room splitting quick, but its first firmware update failed twice and took nearly half an hour, and choosing several rooms at once needs a separate menu.
Alternatives
Other robot vacuums to compare.
Qrevo S Pro
Why consider it: Its dock washes the mops in hot water, and testers found setup easy.
The compromise: Testers saw it run over small objects, and deeper hair was left in thick carpet.
Omni C20
Why consider it: A slimmer robot with dock automation that's reliably good at vacuuming hard floors.
The compromise: Testers disagree about its mopping, and it can't spot small objects, so tidy up first.
Robot Vacuum X20+
Why consider it: A cheaper Xiaomi whose dock also empties the bin and washes the mops.
The compromise: You mark rugs on the map yourself, and it has no extending brush or mop.
