Robot Vacuums
Choose between the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S40C and E5 by how much navigation control your home needs. The S40C adds LDS laser mapping, room and zone controls, virtual walls and up to 5000Pa suction. The E5 is a simpler gyro-guided vacuum-and-mop model with app scheduling but no displayed or saved map. Both require floor preparation and manual bin, brush and mop care.

S40C or E5: choose by navigation, not appearance
The S40C is the stronger fit for multi-room homes where you want a map in Xiaomi Home. Its LDS navigation supports room selection, cleaning zones and virtual walls, and its water tank offers three flow levels for mopping. It does not recognise small objects or carpets, so remove cables, toys and other hazards and manage rugs before a run.
The E5 suits simpler spaces and shoppers who want scheduled vacuuming and mopping without map editing. Its gyro-guided route is visible during a run but is not kept as a reusable map, so it does not offer room selection, zone cleaning or virtual walls. Neither model provides automatic mop washing, drying or bin emptying. Plan to empty the dust compartment, wash the mop pad and remove hair from brushes as part of routine care.
