Xiaomi G20 Lite, G20 & G20 Max: affordable bais vacuum cleaners, but should we fear a battery concern?

The Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi has a catalog of gargantuan products and, inevitably, banis vacuum cleaners in Stick format. We remember, for example, the G10, an affordable and relatively attractive model, but whose battery had played a nasty tour for buyers. The G20 Lite is also very similar to the latter with its white and orange dress. Nevertheless, while the G10 embarked on multicyclonic filtration, the G20 Lité has only a simple monocyclonic technology to separate the air from the dust. Note that the different elements of the filtration system are found in the 0.6 -liter collector with a retractable background to simplify the evacuation of waste.

The G20 Lite control panel is limited to the strict minimum: a first button (in the form of a trigger) to start suction, a second on the top of the device to modify the suction power. Again, Xiaomi does not bother with complications since only two levels are planned.

It is a LED trio that informs the user about the remaining autonomy (40 minutes announced, with the trendy electric brush). Apart from the LED ramp on the facade to shed light on the underside of the furniture and the dark floors, the G20 Lite is therefore devoid of any annex functionality (intelligent brush which analyzes the type of soil, particle counter, suction mode selector. .), which limits its price. Indeed, it was launched at a price of € 100, making it one of the most affordable models on the market.

The G20 is more expensive (€ 200) but it is also a little better equipped. This time, it is a multicyl filtration that is responsible for separating the air from the dust. On the other hand, the control panel is just as summary since only a power selector (3 levels this time) is planned and that the autonomy indicator remains this trio of very imprecise loupiotes. Like the G20 Lite, the G20 benefits from Li-ion batteries which allow it to vacuum for 45 minutes in energy saving mode, 25 minutes in standard mode and only 5 minutes in high power mode. It should also be noted that, apart from the LED ramp on the front, the suction head also benefits from a system for eliminating hair and long hair to avoid finding them twisted in the roller. On the accessory side, Xiaomi provides an electric minibrosse to dust and remove animal hair from the furnishings.

Finally, the G20 Max is the most elaborate device in the range. Launched at 300 €, it is still equipped with a multi -cyclonic filtration system. The battery seems exactly similar to that of the G20 since the announced autonomy are exactly the same. But this time, it welcomes an indicator in the form of a percentage: the user can therefore plan his cleaning session much more effectively than based on the three LEDs. The suction head of the G20 Max does not change from that of the G20 and the lights in the facades are still there, just like the anti-emmal system.

Finally, it is especially in terms of accessories that the G20 Max is illustrated. The long sucker, the electric mini-brush are always there, but the box also contains a long flexible pipe and a brush specially designed for our four-legged friends. We hope that the sound level of the Balai vacuum cleaner will not be too high, which could transform the grooming session into total chaos.
