Have no, to little time to do of sweeping and mopping at home? But have the guilt of not doing it? Hmm, then you must have researched of some alternatives, and hence made the right decision of buying vacuums to get your home free from dust! You are right and you are at the right place!
At the time of writing the article the Lydsto r1, ROIDMI EVE Plus and Viomi S9 -UV are the most affordable and functionality loaded robot vacuum cleaners available in India through Amazon. I picked the above 3 robots since they are the most advanced and have the auto dirt dumping feature that is not only interesting, but need for the hour. It saves a lot of your time and especially if you are allergic to dust, you don’t want to be dusting your vacuum bag!
Though they are from different companies, they belong to the MI family and are from different product lines. They seem to be more similar than different. But lets dig in to some deep details to see which one is the best to buy at this point in time.
Before differences, lets see the similarities, and also the loaded functions of Lydsto r1, ROIDMI EVE Plus and Viomi S9 UV

So, these some differences, and it proves that they not very different products.
When it comes to the dustbin size, 300/200 doesn’t matter, since you have a full 3L on the dock.
The UV and its use on vacuums is something that I have not researched enough about and can’t comment at the moment, may be we can cover it on the next post.
The stop mopping on carpets is an interesting feature may be, but not for me since I mostly remove the carpets or refresh them after a mop.
But the Y pattern mopping, is a really good addition, this pattern rather than the normal S pattern mimics human action, and provides better cleaning.
On side brushes 2 is good to have, but 1 is enough though.
Conclusion
If I were a person who has a mix of carpeted and non-carpeted places at home I would buy the Lydsto R1.
If I were a person looking to sterilize the floor, I would buy Viomi S9 UV.
If I were the person who likes a good mop, I would buy the Viomi S9 UV or the ROIDMI EVE Plus, since both have the Y pattern mopping,.
If I were a person who just wants cleaning done without any hustle, I would just buy any of the above three, based on the service in my location and cost at the time I decide to buy.
What person are you? Let me know!
These are all advanced tech for homes but there are comments saying that roidmi eve have issues with water tank sensor; lydsto goes weird when trying to detect floor and carpet when mopping.
You gave ideas when I’m struggling to decide, thanks.
I didn’t know the differencies between the S9 and EVE Plus and even didn’t know about the third one! Thank you very much for the article.
