How Xiaomi treats owners after the sale, from our assessment of its robot vacuum sold in Spain: warranty, updates, parts for older models, independence from its cloud, and privacy.
Draft scores, in review: not yet checked by a second reviewer. Manufacturers can raise a score by publishing the missing information.
We will maintain the security updates for at least 2 years from the launch day of certain device models.

Updates for older models
S2
Whether models 2 or 4 years old got firmware in the last year.
No evidence
No evidence found of firmware updates in the last 12 months for Xiaomi robot vacuums launched 2+ years ago (the IoT support list loads dynamically and could not be read).
Security updates for Mi Robot Vaccum-Mop2 will be provided up to 31 Jan 2024

Parts for older models
R3
Whether parts are still sold for the brand’s model from 5 years earlier.
Wear parts only
Old model: Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P (LDS + mop; India crowdfunding launch Apr 2020). We rejected the closer Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro because its EU launch was March 2022. mi.com/es (store search API, is_sale = 1, has_store = 1) sells only one Mop P part: the 'Mop P / 2 Pro / 2 Lite / 2S Filter' (EUR 14.99). No Mop P battery, brush, wheel, bin or other module is listed. That is 1 of 11 key modules, and it is a consumable, so low. For the older 1C-generation 'Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop' line, mi.com/es lists a main brush, brush cover and mop pad in stock and the side brush out of stock. That is also consumables only.
Xiaomi India has launched the Mi Robot Vacuum Mop-P smart home cleaner on its crowdfunding website.

Battery
R1
Whether a replacement battery is sold, and who can fit it.
No official battery found
No official replacement battery is sold in Spain and no third-party battery for the OV31GL was found. The manual only describes battery removal (5 screws) for disposal and tells users not to repair the battery.
What still works with no account and no connection.
Partly offline
Setup needs the Xiaomi Home app/account; Xiaomi states its robot keeps cleaning if it goes offline (FAQ for the sister 5 Pro) and the robot has a start button. Offline scheduling not confirmed.
use the app or press the button on the robot vacuum to start cleaning

No local integration
