Z10 Pro

They don’t have the best suction on carpet, the new z10 turbo is supposed to be better on carpet because it make a seal on it

If you don't need mopping. Then pretty much every mid-tier or few generation old flagship robot vacuums from Dreame, Roborock, Eufy etc. will do just fine as long as they have following: Obstacle avoidance, Lidar, Auto-empty dock and hair-cutting main brush (Dreame Tricut bush can be installed on many - even officially unsupported robots) The hair-cutting main brush is the key. I have not seen, heard or witnessed a robot vacuum that would be worry or maintenance free without hair-cutting brush. Dreame's Tricut has mechanically operated chopping section inside comb type slits in the brush. Any hair or loose string that would get tangled around the brush will be cut to pieces and sucked in the robot. Obstacle avoidance works most of the time - good enough I would say. Our robots have destroyted few USB-cables. caught or some clothing etc. during many years of usage. But if you need mopping - oh boy that's another can of worms and will cost you additional 1000€ / $ to get the same ease of mind. I've settled on Dreame Z10 ja D9 -series. I can find them very cheaply secondhand. All the consumables are very cheap even OEM (don't bother with 3rd party) and the best is that I can just drop in the Dreame Tricut for additional 30€/$ and set the schedule and then occasionally check the base dust bag. Very reliable and worry-free.

Oof. We got the robot (Z10Pro) when the dock had just vacuum disposal. It's awesome - we have to empty it about once a year in our smallish apartment. Hair tangles and underwear, a few cords and a cat toy has been more of a thing. Before kids it was a breeze - it ran when we went out and never was there any litter on the floor if not for kitchen nooks or whatnots. We lobotomized the robot to Valetudo as well straightaway. Just swapped the battery after 5 years of use, saw xiaomi has come out with tricut blade which was just a quick swap and now hair tangles are not an issue anymore. Also runs almost as quiet as new. Was awesome to see it in action with new battery. Next one'll be with plumbing though as I'd love to see our floors washed as well. More of a necessety now we have kids.

I've had my z10 pro for years, it's pretty great! That being said, it's on Valetudo so idk about the default software.

Yes, LIDAR (which this appears to have) versions are much better than without in my experience. I doubt the mopping function is going to be worth using if it doesn't have a clean/dirty reservoir and self cleaning (doesn't look like it does). Depending on how privacy conscious you are, you may want to avoid ever actually connecting it to network. Usually they can still be used in a more rudimentary manner by just hitting the button and sending it. Our Dreame Z10 Pro mapped out the 1st floor nicely and worked pretty effectively even before we connected it to anything. Incidentally, ours is rooted and running Valetudo now, but that's a deep rabbit hole and doubt this bot would be supported.

Some of them also have actual full-color cameras (which they've been known to obfuscate by calling them "optical sensors") as well, pointed at an upward angle. I can't remember if I've heard of them having a mic or not, though it seems with all the voice command stuff, a lot of people don't care about that very much any more for some reason. I was thrilled to get Valetudo operating on our Dreame vacuum itself to emulate the Chinese server and allow me to connect only using local wi-fi; leaving the internet and China out entirely.
