When you hear of a special edition or new color variant, the first thing your mind goes to is a mobile phone. Occasionally, we see custom versions of certain mobile accessories such as power banks. However, all that seems to be changing as Xiaomi is now extending it to other products in its lineup.

This week, it announced a special edition version of its Roborock Sweep One robot vacuum cleaner. The special edition vacuum cleaner has a new color scheme – Rose Gold – and comes in a special gift box. This isn’t the first time the Roborock Sweep One will get a special edition. A few months ago, an Inter Milan Edition was released.

Unlike the original version and the Inter Milan Edition which come in white with gray or blue accents respectively, the Rose Gold edition has pink accents. The underside is also pink.

Apart from the color and obviously, the retail box, the Rose Gold Roborock Sweep One has the same functions as the regular version. Cleaning times can be programmed, suction pressure can be adjusted depending on the type/size of dirt, and battery capacity remains 5,200mAh.

The FIFA World cup is still ongoing but without one of the top teams – Italy. Notwithstanding, Italian club Inter Milan is in the news for a good cause. Xiaomi‘s ecological chain company Roborock has launched an Inter Milan edition of its latest Roborock Sweep One smart robot vacuum cleaner. Recall the Roborock Sweep One was announced late last year packing some improved features over the Mi Robot Vacuum.

The Xiaomi Roborock Sweep One Inter Milan Customised edition is the product of a collaboration between Roborock and Inter Milan football club. The new edition comes with some tweak in its design but still retains the features of the device. It has he Blue and Black logo of Inter Milan. The model is also said to have a built-in exclusive star custom voice package.

Roborock Sweep One is equipped with a laser rangefinder, which is moved closer to the center. The device also comes with a number of sensors which aids the robotic vacuum cleaner to circumvent obstacles, avoid steps, choose the most efficient route and quickly find a charging station. It also features a more powerful engine which can create a pressure of up to 2000 Pa as against 1800 Pa for the first model. There is also a large main brush located on one side.

One new innovative feature on the Roborock Sweep One is the ability to carry out wet cleaning. It has space for a water tank which sprinkles water on the floor, perhaps in order to better remove dirt. The tank contains water at full capacity that can last for up to 45 minutes to 60 minutes of operation.

In addition, the Sweep One packs a 5200mAh battery which is designed to provide 2.5 hours of battery life, equivalent to cleaning a 250m2 room.  The device also has the ability to start cleaning when it is scheduled to do so and users can specify the area of the house that needs to be cleaned. These two functions can be initiated on the Mi app. It can also increase its power when a rug is detected. The LDS sensor also is improved for the robot to better scan the room and plan a sweeping path. The app for this model is also upgraded to include some features such as mopping only mode, as well as drawing strokes on the app’s interface to determine the movement of the robot vacuum.

Xiaomi has officially unveiled a new smart robot cleaner which surprisingly isn’t the Mi Robot Vacuum 2 like we had thought it was. This is actually a product under the crowdfunding platform meaning it isn’t directly manufactured by Xiaomi but just like its first model, Roborock manufactured this one. It adopts the moniker Roborock Sweep One, an indication that the company is warming up to go solo and comes in with a steep price tag of 2499 Yuan ($380). This is way higher the price of the Mi Robot Vacuum cleaner which was priced at 1699 yuan ($258) when it was launched last year.

Roborock Sweep One is similar in many respects to its predecessor. The robot is still round and equipped with a laser rangefinder, which is moved closer to the center. The device also comes with a number of sensors which aids the robotic vacuum cleaner to circumvent obstacles, avoid steps, choose the most efficient route and quickly find a charging station. It also features a more powerful engine which can create a pressure of up to 2000 Pa as against 1800 Pa for the first model. There is also a large main brush located on one side.
