Xiaomi Robot Vacuum H40 launches in Europe with anti‑tangle cleaning and a self‑emptying dock
Xiaomi’s Robot Vacuum H40 has started its European rollout, debuting in Germany with a launch price of €249.99, down from a €299.99 RRP. Wider availability is expected in more countries soon, with signs pointing to upcoming releases in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, and beyond.
Designed to tackle hair without the usual hassle, the H40 combines powerful suction with a five‑step anti‑tangle system. A comb-like element sits next to a V-shaped main roller to reduce hair wraps, and an anti‑tangle side brush pulls hair from edges and corners so it can be lifted into the bin rather than knotting around the bristles. It’s a strong fit for households with pets or long hair.
Suction peaks at up to 10,000 Pa across four modes—Quiet, Standard, Strong, and Turbo—so you can dial in the right blend of power and noise. The robot also mops while it vacuums, using a 210 ml water tank with adjustable flow levels controlled in the Xiaomi Home app. You can set room-by-room preferences, customize cleaning sequences, and switch between vacuuming, mopping, or both in one pass.
For navigation, the H40 uses LDS laser mapping to plan efficient routes and avoid missed spots. A 5,200 mAh battery is rated for up to 180 minutes of runtime on a single charge, and the robot automatically returns to its base when it needs a top-up. The included dock doesn’t just recharge—it also empties the robot’s onboard dustbin into a larger 4 L container. Depending on usage and home size, that can mean up to 90 days of hands‑free cleaning before you need to empty the dock. Voice control is available via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
