In February this year, Xiaomi ecological chain company Viomi launched the Alpha 1C Robot Vacuum cleaner with a unique wet mopping and dry dust collection compartment. The company has now launched an upgraded model dubbed Viomi Alpha 2 Pro Robot Vacuum cleaner. The product is officially on sale on Viomi’s Tmall official flagship store. The device carried a price tag of 3499 yuan (~$537).

The Viomi Alpha 2 Pro utilizes an AI laser radar (LDS) system which can scan a large area. Apart from obstacle detection at the front, the laser radar can also detect obstacles at the sides of the vacuum cleaner. Thanks to this, it can achieve 180° real-time scanning and an observation distance of 8 meters. Moreover, the radar system is not affected by light conditions as it is also effective in the dark. The vacuum is said to be capable of recognizing 150 different kinds of obstacles.

Further, the Viomi Alpha 2 Pro adopts the AI-Dumping 3.0 automatic dust collection system. The system can realize the whole process of cleaning, dust collection, and dust disposal. The main unit, dust collecting seat, and dust bag are purified by triple precision filtration. The activated carbon used in the dust bag has up to 99.99% antibacterial property and effectively prevents bacteria from multiplying. It can also filter dust, allergens, bacteria, and other harmful substances layer by layer.

The Alpha 2 Pro also has a redesigned air duct layout different from those of other robot vacuums. The new design shortens the length of the air duct by nearly 60%. The vacuum also has a strong suction power of 30KPa that can achieve fast dust collection in 15 seconds at the fastest, and effectively improve the efficiency and effectiveness of dust collection.
