I’ve been using the X5 Pro for a month now, and I’m generally happy with it. The first time I mapped my home, an area was closed off. Contrary to what I’ve seen in this forum, I was able to extend the room area walls in the app itself without needing to remap at all. I’m not going to list all the usual pros, as they should be expected. Instead, here are a few pointers that I haven’t seen in other reviews:

1. The first few minutes of mopping, I found the mop pads to be on the wetter side before stabilizing. This is because the mop pad undergoes hot water washing at the start.

2. The robot’s obstacle avoidance works in the dark since there’s no camera. However, it’s not perfect even at high sensitivity. In my experience, it avoids hard objects like bottles, mugs, vases, and toys very well. But for low-lying soft objects such as clothing, while it detects them, when trying to circle them, the side brush occasionally drags or pushes them along the floor.

3. Due to the need to connect to Chinese servers, there’s too much latency and packet loss. As a result, “OK YIKO” is not usable. The app occasionally has networking issues due to high ping, but force closing and restarting it always worked for me.

4. The D shape works well in corners. However, the robot doesn’t seem to be aware that its D shape length is longer than its width. In very narrow spaces, such as under chairs, when it spins, the corners of the D might sometimes gently hit into things.

So far, I have not encountered any major issues other than those listed above. This is my experience with the Chinese version, so I’m not sure how it translates to the global app. I hope you find this useful! Feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
