Why this verdict?
You get what matters in a top robot — strong suction and a dock that empties the bin and washes the mops — for about half flagship money. What you give up is the sharpest obstacle avoidance, so pick up cables and socks first.
Known problems owners report
- Dock is big — measure the spot before you buy.
- Mop pads need a proper wash now and then to stop smells.
