V3 Max Customer Questions & Answers

Question 1:

Can my kitties be friends with this robot vacuum?

Answer:

Your cats are lucky to have such a good owner. VIOMI Robot Vacuums comes with a sound-reducing design and works at a volume(57dB) lower than an operating microwave(around 68dB). This is one of the reasons why kittens love Robot Vacuums.


Viomi Service Department

By ViomiDirect SELLER on August 28, 2021

Yeah, I think so. My cat loves to get on top of it while it's working under quiet mode. He just looks very satisfied and comfortable on it, and it looks like he's driving the robot vacuum. It's just too cute!

By Amazoncustomer on August 29, 2021



Question 2:

Does it do a really good job deep cleaning large carpet areas?

Answer:

Yes! It does clean deep into carpets. The smart Carpet Boost tech allows the suction power to be automatically boosted to 2700Pa, pulling dirt out from carpets and floor gaps.
Viomi Service Department
By ViomiDirect SELLER on August 26, 2021

It does a fantastic job cleaning carpets! I have 3 kids, a dog, and a cat, and they spill everything on the carpets, everyday! My dog makes most of the mess, but Robot Vacuums takes of care of everything. Just make sure to pick up the objects before hand, and this baby will pull out all the dirt and remove those stubborn stains.
By Amazoncustomer on August 29, 2021



Question 3:

Steam mop is good for deep cleaning but it takes a bit more time and effort. How about this robot vacuum?

Answer:

For daily cleaning, we'd recommend you to turn on the robot vacuum, and select S-mopping pattern on MiHome APP.

Robot Vacuums also comes with an exclusive feature called Y-pattern mopping. It integrates AI smart algorithms, which can simulate a manual way of cleaning with 97.5% of cleaning coverage. Just select the Y-mopping pattern on MiHome APP for more thorough and in-depth cleaning.
Viomi Service Department
By ViomiDirect SELLER on August 29, 2021

It's the best! Robot Vacuums has this feature called 3-in-1 sweeping, mopping & vacuuming that removes pet hair, dirt, crumbs, and stains on the carpet and floor.

And it also has S/Y dual mopping mode that I think is game changer. When I am at the office, I'd like to select the Y-mpping mode on MiHome, so my floor would be super spotless when I come home. You can even have your house cleaned when you are away. What a great design! Kudos to the engineers~
By Amazoncustomer on August 27, 2021



Question 4:

Will my dog attack it?

Answer:

In order to make Robot Vacuums quieter for both human and our furry friends, we'v added sound-reducing techs, like super quiet Japanes Nidec brushless motor, 360° shock and sound-proof silicone case & industrial-level acustic foam,  allowing a extreme low working voice of 57dB at quiet mode(lower than an operating microwave, around 68dB). We've had a lot of positive feedback on this design, hope your pets would love it too! FYI, it's great for removing pet hair from the floor.
Viomi Service Department
By ViomiDirect SELLER on August 23, 2021

I have a Corgi that hates regular vacuums. She either attacks them or gets startled by them! But with the quiet Robot Vacuums, she just ignores it. It has bumped into her, but did not phase her a bit. Besides, this robot vacuum just meanders around the house picking up all her hair!!! Win-win!!!
