> [...] and they make great powerbanks.

Do they? From what I understood they don't have good efficiency.

> Their Roomba and Fitbit clones are great

(Haven't checked their Roomba.)

The Amazfit Bip cannot disable Bluetooth. Battery life is decent though.

> Almost forgot their sonic toothbrush and wiha screwdrivers (I don't even know what they're clones of)

The iFixit screwdriver set is the one I got. What I paid for it (during a Black Friday deal) isn't that much off the wiha screwdriver set from Xiaomi. And you support an organization which is part of the Right To Repair movement.

I got one of Xiaomi's Bluetooth speakers as well. I also got a Dafang camera of them. They're both decent and cheap, but not great. Which sums up my Xiaomi experience. Its not as if Xiaomi is so good quality; rather the rest from China is terrible, and we accept it apparently as such (yes some Western brands also deliver abysmal experience but then you got decent warranty).
