ROIDMI EVA

Name: ROIDMI EVA
Brand: Roidmi

A self-emptying, self-mop-washing dock and multiple cleaning modes were the design, but an independent review found the bin filled too fast and drying was ineffective in practice. With the manufacturer now closed, any remaining unit carries no ongoing support, warranty service, or software updates.

Autonomy Ladder

Why Level III.

One five-rung scale, every category, from acting only on command to working unsupervised anywhere.

VGeneralized AutonomyAny task, any setting. No consumer robot has reached it.
IVEnvironmental AutonomyCopes with everyday clutter and frees itself, shown by independent testing.
To reach Level IVIndependent testing shows it avoids ordinary obstacles before contact, copes without the space being cleared, and frees itself when stuck.
IIIConditional AutonomyThis robot

ROIDMI EVA finishes whole jobs in a space it already knows, and still needs a person at the edges.
What it does on its own
- Maps a home with an LDS LiDAR turret via SLAM and plans its own cleaning route; offers combined vacuum-and-mop, vacuum-only, and mop-only modes; automatically lifts its dual spinning mop pads when it detects carpet; self-empties its dustbin and self-washes and dries its mop pads at the dock; controllable via the Roidmi app or the Xiaomi Home app, including virtual map editing, no-go zones, and room-specific cleaning modes.
Why this level
- The robot maps a home with an LDS LiDAR turret via SLAM, plans its own cleaning route, offers vacuum-only, mop-only, and combined modes, and self-empties its dustbin and self-washes and dries its mop pads at the dock without prompting.
- A human must still define no-go and no-mop zones, manage the dock's clean/dirty water tanks, and clear obstacles like cords the robot fails to detect.
What holds it at Level III
- An independent review (The Gadgeteer, 2022) found the onboard dustbin fills too fast for a full-floor clean without manual emptying partway through, that mop-pad drying was ineffective with pads still damp more than 12 hours after a cycle, and that the robot occasionally collided with low obstacles such as power cords. The manufacturer, Roidmi, announced its closure on December 15, 2024 and discontinued product maintenance, returns, and after-sales service; its own domains (roidmi.com, shop.roidmi.com, m.roidmi.com) are unreachable as of this research.

Our assessment did not establish an independent source for edge-case recovery on this machine, so that input is left out of the score rather than guessed at, and the rest re-weighted to fill the space. A gap in what we have been able to verify is not evidence against the robot. Where a whole pillar has nothing measured, we publish no number at all.

Support longevity0−6.2
Field failure rate46−3.8
Software stability40−3.5

Capability40% of the score66What it does without you.

Task completion16% of the score60

Evidence

The dock self-empties the dustbin, and self-washes and dries the dual spinning mop pads without owner action between runs, and the robot offers vacuum-only, mop-only, and combined modes (manufacturer; The Gadgeteer). But an independent review (The Gadgeteer, Sept 2022) found the onboard dustbin fills too fast to complete a full-floor clean without manual emptying partway through, and that mop-pad drying was ineffective, with pads still damp more than 12 hours after a cycle. Scored below the self-service anchor because the reviewed unit needed a person to intervene mid-job on larger homes, not only afterward.

Coverage and navigation10% of the score75

Evidence

LDS LiDAR turret navigation with SLAM room mapping (manufacturer). The Gadgeteer's independent review did not report missed rooms or regions; its complaints centered on dustbin capacity, mop-pad drying, and low-obstacle collisions rather than coverage gaps, consistent with systematic, retained coverage.

Edge-case recoverynot countedno source verified25

Evidence

Scored at the unevidenced state (25): no source reviewed, manufacturer or independent, describes how the ROIDMI EVA behaves when it is stuck, tangled or lost mid-run and has to resume. Nothing here is a finding that recovery is poor. The unevidenced-input rule scores a behavior anchor at its unevidenced state where no source outside the vendor's control speaks to it, and evidence is what moves it upward.

Operating envelope4% of the score65

Evidence

Automatically lifts its mop pads on carpet and offers 4 suction levels for varying floor types (manufacturer). An independent review (The Gadgeteer) found the robot occasionally collided with low obstacles such as power cords, a documented degradation in cluttered rooms. No source addressed threshold-crossing height or pet-hair-specific performance.

Dependability40% of the score32Whether it keeps doing it.

Field failure rate16% of the score46

Evidence

The one independent professional review found (The Gadgeteer, 2022) did not report hardware breakdowns, only design shortfalls (bin capacity, drying effectiveness). No owner forum, trade repair source, or regulatory record for the EVA was found, and Roidmi's own primary web domains (roidmi.com, shop.roidmi.com, m.roidmi.com) are now unreachable following the company's announced closure, effective within about a month of its December 15, 2024 announcement, which discontinued product maintenance, returns, and after-sales service. With the only owner channel closed since the December 2024 wind-down, this input is capped well below the affiliate-evidence ceiling; scored low to reflect that no future failure evidence can now be gathered through the manufacturer.

Software stability14% of the score40

Evidence

Roidmi announced it would cease operations and discontinue product maintenance, returns, and after-sales service within about a month of its December 15, 2024 closure announcement; its own primary domains are now unreachable. This is a documented withdrawal of the update channel, not merely a dormant one. The EVA can also be controlled through the Xiaomi Home app, but whether that integration runs on Xiaomi's own infrastructure (and could keep working) or on Roidmi's now-discontinued backend was not confirmed in any source reviewed. Scored at the withdrawn-channel ceiling with its 24-month additional reduction, which is still in effect at the time of this assessment.

Support longevity10% of the score0

Evidence

Roidmi announced its closure on December 15, 2024 and stated it would cease operations within about a month, discontinuing product maintenance, returns, and after-sales service entirely. Its own domains (roidmi.com, shop.roidmi.com, m.roidmi.com) are unreachable as of this research. Remaining retail inventory continues to appear on some third-party channels (a price/availability data point on Amazon US was recorded as recently as April 2026), but this reflects sell-through of existing stock, not manufacturer support. No orderable parts pipeline from the vendor was found; GeekBuying's separately offered 2-year warranty is a retailer guarantee, not a manufacturer commitment. This is the announced-end-of-support anchor: 0.

Ownership burden20% of the score60What it asks of you.

Routine maintenance12% of the score50

Evidence

The dock is designed to self-empty and self-wash/dry the mop pads without owner action between runs (manufacturer). An independent review (The Gadgeteer) found this fell short in practice: the bin needed manual emptying mid-cycle on a full-floor clean, and pads remained damp more than 12 hours after the drying cycle, which in practice pushes some of the emptying and drying work back onto the owner despite the self-service design.

Consumables8% of the score75

Evidence

No proprietary detergent exists for the EVA and no Roidmi-branded price list was found, so the recurring stream is the ordinary one of main brush, side brushes, filters, dust bags and mop pads, and it is served by an open third-party market where a 26-piece kit covering all five of those classes runs $13.96 to $59.79 depending on pack size. Structurally that is the Dreame X40 Ultra at 77, with the self-emptying dock's dust bags being what keeps it out of the bagless 90s band, and with no lock-in to the maker at any point. The replacement interval and any OEM price are unknown, and the priced dust bags and mop cloths that surfaced were Roidmi EVE Plus parts, a different model, so they were not used.

Reported, not scoredneither measures how well the robot works

Five-year costNot costed

Reported purchase price conflicts across sources ($899 MSRP per a 2022 review vs. a separately reported $999 list / $429 sale price from a tracker) and could not be reconciled. Five-year consumable costs cannot be meaningfully projected for a product whose manufacturer has ceased operations and whose ongoing parts availability is unknown; recorded as Unknown rather than estimated.

Data postureCloud-linked

Account required. Maps and telemetry leave the home; core function survives an outage.

What leaves the homeDocumented

Controllable through the Roidmi app or the Xiaomi Home app for virtual mapping, no-go zones, and room-specific modes. With Roidmi having ceased operations, whether the Roidmi-branded app and its backend remain functional was not confirmed; whether the Xiaomi Home integration runs on Xiaomi's own infrastructure (and could continue working) or depended on Roidmi's now-discontinued backend was not confirmed in any source reviewed.

OWNERSHIP

Living with it.

Roidmi's closure ended parts, updates, and warranty; every surviving unit runs unsupported.

The Gadgeteer's 2022 review documented design shortfalls (undersized bin, ineffective pad drying) rather than breakdowns. Roidmi announced closure December 15, 2024 and ended after-sales service within about a month, closing every support channel.

Common questions

What people actually ask.

5 answered

OperationIs ROIDMI EVA still supported by the manufacturer?

No. Roidmi announced its closure on December 15, 2024 and stated it would discontinue product maintenance, returns, and after-sales service within about a month. Its own domains are unreachable as of this research.

OperationCan it still be purchased?

Remaining inventory has continued to appear on some third-party retail channels, including a recorded Amazon US price/availability data point as recently as April 2026, but this reflects sell-through of existing stock rather than ongoing manufacturer sales or support.

OperationDoes it empty its own dustbin and wash its own mop?

That is the dock’s design, but an independent review (The Gadgeteer) found the bin fills too fast for a full-floor clean without manual emptying, and that mop-pad drying was ineffective.

CompatibilityWhat app does it use?

The Roidmi app or the Xiaomi Home app, per the manufacturer. Whether the Roidmi-branded app and backend remain functional following the company’s closure was not confirmed.

OperationWhat suction power does it offer?

The manufacturer states 3200Pa maximum across 4 suction levels.
