Not having any previous experience with a stick vacuum, I blindly bought it after the recommendation of friends who have the G9. I have only had it for 1 day, so my opinion reflects my first impression.
Having a dog with a lot of hair in the house (Labrador, for anyone who can share my pain), I was looking for a solution for quick hair/dust cleaning from furniture, as the floor is taken care of by a Roborock that wanders around all day, literally, already living with its second battery.
Let's talk about the G9 Plus now:
- The first mode really has no reason to exist, I don't understand what you could clean with the ECO mode.
- The second mode is acceptable but I wasn't thrilled. Of course, I mainly use it for its autonomy.
- The third mode is what it should be permanently, if the battery lasted a little longer. Unfortunately, we don't get along well with autonomy in the third mode. I haven't kept track of the time yet, but it noticeably lasts about 10 minutes and the battery gets very hot.
The autonomy in the second mode is somewhat better, but still not enough for my needs.
The plastics and build quality are good, classic Xiaomi, I have no complaints.
With the floor and sofa attachments, I can't say that I'm thrilled, they do pick up a lot of hair but not all of it.
Where I got really disappointed compared to the G9 is the wall mount and the fact that it has one less accessory (which would have been very useful to me). However, the wall mount of the G9 Plus is tragic, just a simple bracket to hold it, no charger or slots for accessories, nothing.
You have to plug in the charging cable yourself every time and the accessories are left scattered in the cabinet. Clearly a step back compared to the G9.
To summarize: The vacuum is very well built. Its suction is okay, I don't think it can replace a corded vacuum but for quick cleanings and pseudo-dusting without having to pull cords/look for outlets/assemble the whole vacuum, it is a good solution.
It should have double the battery life and the support/charger base of the G9.
Rating 3.5/5 from me, so as not to unfairly rate it with 3/5.
