Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Background: I used iRobot products for a long time. I still have them, 900 series vacuum and BraavaJet. I got sick of Braavajet getting stuck in docking station even after getting replacement for that issue. Moreover, the vacuum was getting old and tired and it didn't have smart map function. So after research, I decided to integrate both functions in one with this unit and I love it very much. Highlights: 1. Smart map function is so convenient to use. Once it maps out the house, you can set up invisible walls, no go zones, name each room, divide rooms if you want and more. You can set up cleaning either by rooms, or by manually selecting zones. 2. Carpet setting First of all, it has no problem going over long haired (?) area rugs. It lifts the mop while it's on carpet/rugs and only vacuums. 3. Map storage for multiple levels/houses You can store multiple maps for different floors or levels. All you need to do is to move it manually to the level/floor you want it to clean before you run it. You would have to command it to run on the selected floor though. 4. Water tank it does not abuse water like Braavajet. Tank is small but runs for a long time. The cleaning pad does not get nasty like Braavajet's. I think it's because of the oscillation technology. Well part of it is probably because I run it quite often w/o worrying about the unit getting stuck. 5. Auto emptying station I checked out the bin the first time I ran it out of curiosity before auto emptying. Then checked it out a few more times just to see auto emptying actually works. It did. I haven't looked at the dust bin since then for a long time. As of now, I have used the unit 53 hours, 29K SF, and 55 cycles. Still there's plenty of space in the bag in auto empty station. 6. Auto docking after cleaning One of the biggest issues I have had with iRobot units was this. They just cannot find the stations. Well Roborock has not failed one single time except when it was stuck under objects. If it gets stuck under or on certain objects repeatedly, you can just block out the section in map editing. I don't have that issue anymore. No more walking around the house trying to find my vacuum. No wonder iRobot has the function to make the unit beep in their application because they know their units have that issue. 7. Vacuum function It vacuums 1000% better than my iRobot. The iRobot kicks around some of the dirt instead of suctioning it as the bin gets full. Roborock suctions things very well. 8. Mopping Well it removes older, stubborn stains like dried out liquid drops much better than Braavajet. Cons: 1. the side brush - it's made of silicon. very grabby. So it does not do well on certain longer fiber rugs. Oddly, I found this issue only on bathroom rugs. My living room rug has longer fiber but it has never had an issue with the rug. But the side brush got all tangled up with bathroom rugs 2-3 times. I had to change out the side brush after that as blades were bent and broken pretty bad. Hm.. I can't think of anything else. And for those who wonder if they can add any cleaning solutions in the water tank, you can use Braavajet's cleaning solution safely. I've been using it all along and all components are fine. Unfortunately Braavajet's solution is proprietary so nobody knows what the ingredients are. If Roborock makes their own liquid, I would definitely buy it instead of iRobot's.
