Xiaomi MJSTG1-TB mop pads for Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop Essential, 2 pcs

Robot vacuum models the manufacturer makes or approves this part for. Similar models of one series (for example with and without “+”) often take different parts, so check the exact name and the factory label under the robot.

A reusable pad is washed and used many times until it wears out. A disposable pad is thrown away after one clean: no washing, but you keep buying new pads.

Which wet-cleaning system the pad is made for; it must match your robot's system. A flat pad fits a plate or water tank, a vibrating pad fits the moving plate, round pads fit rotating discs, and an edge mop separately wipes along the walls.

After how many months the manufacturer advises fitting a new filter. Real life depends on the cleaned area and frequency, pet hair and how often the filter is cleaned; if the manufacturer states it in operating hours, the note says so.

How many pads are in the pack. Robots with two rotating mops use a pair at once, so for them two pads are one change; a disposable pad is meant for one clean.

What comes in the box, per the maker.

An original part is made by the vacuum's manufacturer (or a factory on its behalf) under its brand and factory part code. A compatible part is made by another company; its size, materials and fit may differ from the original.

The manufacturer's factory code for the part, printed on the box and in the consumables list of the vacuum's manual. It makes it easy to match the new part against the old one.

How the pad stays on the robot. A hook-and-loop pad pulls off in one move; a slide-in pad goes into the holder's grooves; a clip-on pad is held by clips on the plate.
