This device was born as an alternative to the well-known Dyson cordless hoovers: they have very competent performance and the price is almost half as high.

What are the highlights of the Roidmi F8 Wireless Smart?

Weighing just 2.5kg, it has an engine that produces 18,500 Pa of suction (the Dyson V10 has 15,000 Pa). It has a battery that allows it to run for 55 minutes, although at full power the time is reduced to “just” 10 minutes.

It comes with a range of accessories to clean carpets, wooden floors, walls and even a computer keyboard.

Another advantage is that its handle can be folded and turned into a handheld hoover, perfect for cleaning the car. Like many other Xiaomi home devices, this one also connects to the My app and from there you can check the power, the cleaning time, if the filter is full (and needs to be cleaned) or if it needs to be replaced.

For greater convenience, its charging system is on a magnetic stand.

As for cleaning, it has a 4-stage filtration system that detects particles down to 0.3 microns. A micrometer is one thousandth of a millimeter.

It’s true that it’s not as ergonomic as the Dyson, nor as quiet (it’s not noisy in normal mode, somewhat more so in Turbo mode), but for half the price we have a high-quality cordless hoover.
