Z10 Pro

I personally wouldn't get anything that wasn't on the list of robots supported by [Valetudo](https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots.html), the open source software replacement that makes it run entirely locally (although I believe that some models like iRobot might natively have no cloud integration). I'm not that stoked on something with cameras and mapping abilities sending and storing all that data on cloud servers. I've had a Dreame Z10 pro for several years. It's easy to open up and work on (although nothing major beside the consumables like brushes etc has failed yet). I wouldn't call it _actually_ BIFL, but judging on the curve of modern consumer electronics, I'm pretty happy with it. The valetudo mod on that model specifically wasn't the easiest from among the list, but also wasn't that hard, and if you have any electronics tinkering experience at all, I'd call it trivial, but there are models that are even simpler I believe (the site has instructions)

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

I want the new dreamy cuz I liked the battery life of my x40 my Z is okay but I can't vacuum and mop whole house.. and right now my Roomba has decided to come out on its own and vacuum for me?! LOL

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.

Keskipitkäkarvaisen koiran ja Dreamen Z10 robotti-imurin omistaneena, karvat takertuivat pääharjakseen ja sen kanssa piti olla aika tarkkana, laite meinaan sorvaa pääharjasta ajavan "square driven" "circle driveksi" jos karvaa on liikaa ja harjas ei pääse pyörimään, kysy miten tiedän. Nykyinen kalliimpi Roborockin tuplaharjas imuri ei tätä tee, en ole varma johtuuko tuosta tuplaharjas ominaisuudesta vai silikoniharjaksista, Z10ssä oli sellainen vanhemman mallinen harja-harja.
