Pretty smart and cleans well
Our family just got a dog (black lab) and he sheds like crazy. We needed a robot vacuum to keep up with the shedding. We named him 'Bert' and set him off to work. Bert set off to scan my first floor and finished the job in about 2 hours (103 sq meters). After two hours, I recall he still had about 30% battery left. My floors are primarily hardwood, but we have large area rugs that also shed A LOT! I had to empty the dustbin twice during this first-time scan/vacuum. After that first scan was done, I used the Roborock app to designate specific zones and then scheduled Bert to vacuum a zone in the middle of the night. He rotates through the zones each night. Since the dustbin is so small, it fills up quickly and therefore I set the zone sizes so that it will finish before the dustbin overflows (which I will receive an alert when it does). My dustbin is mostly filled with the fibers from the area rugs. Once that calms down, I think I can probably hit 2-3 zones in a single night. I have not used the mopping feature, nor the Alexa integration, since I have basically set the robot up and let him do his job (no need for voice activation). I only need to clean out the dustbin each day so he has an empty dustbin before he starts his task at night. Bert does a good enough job that I dont see any dog hairs accumulating anywhere and my floors and carpets are looking pretty clean. I can view the navigational path that Bert took, which is pretty cool. I don't think I ever had so much fin watching something vacuum my floors! He makes adjustments if something is in the way or moved in subsequent vacuuming sessions. He is low profile enough to squeeze under the couches and in between chair legs. As of now, he could never go the entire battery charge without emptying the dustbin at least three times. I am very pleased with the purchase and overall, my only "complaint" is that the dustbin is too small given the propensity of my dog's and rug's shedding.
