I've found the Roborock vacuum to be better than Roomba and other brands I've tried. All of these robot vacuums are gonna trip up on something, but mine seems to handle obstacles very well, and its mopping feature is very effective and low hassle.

I use a cheap Chinese one. I've used multiple since all my relatives have one of these, though the brand is always different. They never last more than 2-4 years, either the leg or some mechanism breaks, or the best case, they are battery operated devices so that becomes the issue. The cost to repair tends to be, likely intentionally, expensive enough you are better off buying a new one.

So that's what I do.

It is the only device I'm annoyed with, at the same time, I'd rather have it do it's work than cleaning the house myself.
