                                          @niroshbest: It’s 2 weeks away… https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/9585588/redir

                                          • niroshbest on 10/11/2020 - 19:26

                                            @ShortyX: Another 2 weeks…. :(

                                            @ShortyX: Did you get the firmware update? I still don't see it.

                                            • ShortyX on 23/11/2020 - 17:27

                                              @niroshbest: Nope, nothing yet. Still showing v3.5.8_1024 as the latest.

                                              • niroshbest on 23/11/2020 - 21:56

                                                @ShortyX: Thanks, same for me. :(

                                                • hullohullo on 24/11/2020 - 14:54

                                                  @niroshbest: @niroshbest & @shortyX: Just checked my firmware update and can update to the latest version: 3.5.8_1039. I've been a bit annoyed with it recently (doesn't go back to charge, gets stuck in places it didn't before, and the app recently erased my currently existing map), so hopefully this will make things better.

                                                  • niroshbest on 24/11/2020 - 17:01

                                                    @hullohullo: @shortyX: Thanks for the update and I just updated it. Anything exciting you noticed?

                                                    • hullohullo on 07/12/2020 - 12:39

                                                      @niroshbest: Honestly, no, not really. I wanted to use it for a bit before responding, but a few times it wouldn't even return to the dock or even go back to charge and it's still getting stuck in places because of the 2cm+ difference (which previously wasn't an issue so I don't know why it is now). I think I'll reset the map again and see if that helps. Have you noticed anything good on your end?

                                                      • niroshbest on 07/12/2020 - 20:01

                                                        @hullohullo: I see a huge difference in suction power, now it fails to collect most of the debris.
                                                        I dont see any noticeable update with the firmware.

                                                        I thought this update helps to manage schedule cleaning based on room selections eg: every day 8 am - Living Room, every day 8 pm Kitchen. But I'm clearly missing this option.

                                                        Nothing exciting after the update.

                                                        • hullohullo on 08/12/2020 - 02:04

                                                          @niroshbest: I noticed that the suction wasn't as good, but thought it might have been my filter. Bummer to know this isn't the case. And yeah, I don't have that update either. Disappointing.

                                                          • niroshbest on 12/12/2020 - 21:14

                                                            @hullohullo: Suction is still not great. I wish I could go back to the previous version. :(

    • tayvid on 12/09/2020 - 06:36

      I'm jealous. I ordered mine on 29 August and it's still with Auspost. I ordered the v9 stick vacuum same time and that got delivered last week. Thanks for the reviews and answers.

    • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 09/11/2020 - 19:36

      Looks like firmware 1039 is available to download for Dreame F9, please check.

      • ShortyX on 09/11/2020 - 19:45

        Still says 1024 is the latest for me.

        • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 09/11/2020 - 19:46

          Ask me to update to 1039, please restart mi home and then go to dreame f9, check if any update pop up there?

          • ShortyX on 09/11/2020 - 20:36

            @Gearbite: Tried that already. My region is set to China so maybe it’s only showing for Australia?

            • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 09/11/2020 - 20:53

              @ShortyX: Please try Australia, it may help.

              • ShortyX on 09/11/2020 - 21:03

                @Gearbite: If I change it to Australia, the device doesn’t show. Would I need to reset the device to add it? And lose the smart map?

                • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 09/11/2020 - 21:04

                  @ShortyX: Please wait for my confirmation, i am not sure if everyone can update 1039 at this moment.

                • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 09/11/2020 - 21:13

                  @ShortyX: Please do not reset today, i may receive update because I have priority to access the firmware, customers will able to update in 2 weeks time.

                  • ShortyX on 09/11/2020 - 21:19

                    @Gearbite: 👍🏻 I might hold a launch party. 😂

                  • niroshbest on 23/11/2020 - 11:16

                    @Gearbite: Hi, when do we get it, I cannot see any update…

                    • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 23/11/2020 - 11:24

                      @niroshbest: have sumbit to xiaomi on 8th Nov, hopfully available shortly, will update once available

                      • niroshbest on 23/11/2020 - 14:09

                        @Gearbite: how do we get to know? Do we need to restart the app?

                        • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 23/11/2020 - 14:42

                          @niroshbest: Once available, it will popup when you open f9 in mi home app.

                          • ShortyX on 25/11/2020 - 20:16

                            @Gearbite: Rep - just updated to new firmware 1039 but I can’t see any changes, eg the ‘no mop zone’ option doesn’t exist, no ability to schedule specific zoned/room cleanups, etc.

                            • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 25/11/2020 - 21:42

                              @ShortyX: I just check with dreame team, No mop zone and manual assign room in this update, would be at next update as these features still need more testing. They updated bugs fix and more accurate positioning , automatic update map to improve vacuum positioning, re-positioning will be much better and wont easy to fail, i have tested today. Looks like position much improved which is really good, please let me know if your have any problem, i will happy to pass to dreame team. Carpet boost is avaialble now, should be ready in 3 business day.

      • Kaz0551 on 26/11/2020 - 20:31

        When will voice control be added? Not a huge fan of using my phone to start it for room cleans

  • Brisbane1 on 02/09/2020 - 11:32

    So Confusing don't know what to buy :(

  • SeVeN11 on 03/09/2020 - 17:25

    so anybody know the benefit of vslam vs laser distance sensor.
    not sure if vslam is an upgrade or downgrade for the F9.

    • kulprit on 03/09/2020 - 21:32

      I wasn't sure either, but the s6 pure and S5 max both have laser distance so assume that is better.

      • SeVeN11 on 04/09/2020 - 16:10

        I watched some youtube and laser is better for now because its more apparently more accurate, but vslam apparently might become better in the future because video captures more datapoint than a laser so it's able to do more in the future if they can feed it into some AI and it makes itself smarter.

        many companies have vslam so that they can start collecting data so that they can training the software to become better in the future…

        anyways, I ended up buying that F9 so I hope I don't regret it… or at least the bigger bin, suction and features makes up for the dumbness

  • mady123 on 06/09/2020 - 12:23

    Hi OP
    Does Xiaomi Dreame F9 supports Google & Alexa?
    Could not find any information about it.

    • clartan2015 on 07/09/2020 - 12:16

      yeah it doesn't look like it supports those. i see there is xiao ai which seems xiaomi's voice assistant

    I can't find many details on the F9. Does OzB approve?

  • super-zero on 10/09/2020 - 20:02

    @gearbite do any of the above work for 2 floors? can they store 2 different maps to work on?

  • jamba on 10/09/2020 - 20:41

    I can't find the messenger option on Facebook page?

  • tayvid on 16/09/2020 - 21:24

    F9 arrived today. I'm unable to link my Mi Home app to Google Home. It just says account successfully linked and then nothing. Quick google shows it's happening to other people too.

  • Oauiii on 17/09/2020 - 14:25

    I ordered on the day of this post but haven't received mine (NSW). Seems like AusPost delay

  • gadgetfreak28 on 23/09/2020 - 20:38

    Just bit the bullet and ordered the F9. Recently rescued a 5yo Staffy x Kelpie who sheds like crazy and hopefully the F9 will keep our house tidy in between proper weekend cleans. Will be used on timber floors downstairs and carpet upstairs. Now hopefully AusPost don't add too much delays in getting it delivered to me.

  • swho20 on 28/09/2020 - 22:00

    Can anyone tell me if the Xiaomi Dreame F9 is better than the XIAOMI Robot Mop pro ?? I want a robovac with good mopping & the reviews look like the XIAOMI Robot Mop pro is good, but if the F9 is newer is the mopping good?

  • stratbargain on 01/10/2020 - 17:04

    Just got my F9. Ordered it on Friday last week, arrived today so really happy with that. Doing it's first clean at the moment. So far so good, although I'll be very clean to try the new firmware that let's you specify mop/no mop zones

  • BargainBragster on 03/10/2020 - 12:36

    To the Ozb gang,
    In your opinion is the current deal good enough or would you wait for any better during black Friday deals?

    I am pretty interested in the F9

    • BargainBragster on 04/10/2020 - 12:59

      Just bought the F9 today. Hopefully it gets delivered soon and works well. Will reach out to the community for tips around setting up the device based upon experience of folks who bought it before. Thanks .

  • mrwoo on 06/10/2020 - 09:06

    Hoping for a bit better for Black Friday - even if they could beat the recent Kogan deal ($312 for the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum) would be good.
