Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S12

S12 with a charging base instead of a self-emptying dock

The S12 uses LDS mapping and a combined dust and water tank. According to the manufacturer, a normal charging station is included. This makes it interesting for buyers who want to plan space and take care of containers and wipes themselves. An automatic self-emptying dock should not be expected with this model.

Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S12: What is important when choosing?
