We have an ecovacs t30 Omni and it is pretty great for overall cleaning. We have a gsd and a lab and they both shed like crazy so obviously a single robot is not enough but it definitely helps reducing the workload and the trips to the bin with the vacuum full of hair lol
Check out the ECOVACS DEEBOT T30 or X2 series - they're solid for cat hair. The rubber brushes don't tangle up like the bristle ones, suction is strong enough to handle shedding season, and they're pretty quiet for apartment living. Mopping is built-in, and accessories are easy to find on their site or Amazon. The auto-empty stations help a ton with all that fur too. Should fit your budget depending on which model you go with.
Look, if you are looking at the Dreame L series or Mova, you are basically asking for high-end features on a mid-range budget. I was in the same boat (wanted the L10s Ultra originally).
For under 600€, you should absolutely look at the Ecovacs Deebot T30 Pro Omni.
It hits almost every single one of your must-haves and actually beats the Dreame/Mova specs in a fewkey ways:
* Hot Water Washing: You asked for 60°C; the T30 actually does 70°C hot water washing. It dissolves grease and sticky messes way better thanthe standard 55-60°C.
* Anti-Hair Tangle: It has the ZeroTangle brush. It uses a special comb array that actively cuts hair off the brush while it cleans. If you have pets or long hair at home, this is way better thanthe standard rubber brushes.
* Mop Lifting: It lifts the mop plates 9mm when it hits carpet or goes back to the dock, so it doesn't drag a dirtywet mop across your rugs.
* Edge Cleaning: It has TruEdge, where the mop pad physically extendsout to scrub corners and edges.
* Sensors & Maintenance: It has the dirty water/clean water sensors you wanted and auto-empties the dust bag. The station is also shorter and more compact than the others, so it fits under cabinets easier.
I feel you on the 2 kids + 3 pets struggle, floors are basically a combat zone.
If the Qrevo isn't doing it for you, definitely check out the Ecovacs Deebot line (especially the T series when on sale). Their "Ozmo" mopping tech is a beast for sticky messes and pet tracks. You can often snag them under $500, and they might actually give you the "oomph" you're missing.
We have an Ecovacs Deebot and it integrates well with HA.
BUT
The vacuum itself loses itself in it's map if the power gets turned off to the base unit and then I need to go through the mapping process again.
The after sales support has been good overall from my own experience, some of the issues seem to be pretty rare. Since I started using the t30, that smelly mop problem hasn’t happened again. And the mapping is easy to set up too, I usually clean by zones, it just feels more quick that way.
Got the t30 pro for low price 250 Euro a few month ago.
Had a roborock for many years. S5max
And an roborock s5
The roborock navigation is way better then the ecovavs.
The Roborock station really sucks the dirt out of the back.
The ecovavs I have to clean regularly by myself.
And we got no pets .
So I do not recommend the ecovavs at all.
I've a Ecovacs T30s Pro OMNI. Firstly the service has been really good in Bangalore, where I'm at.
Just last week called for a service to de-dust the internal electronics thinking it might have gone inside after this long (because usually dust is the reason these things fail). The technician came very next day and he opened it up and surprisingly it was really clean but what little dust was collected we blew it off using an air blower. Have not had another issues as such personally.
Bought it in Jan of this year. Initially spares were not available and the OEM ones were expensive so waited for a couple of months and many 3rd party ones popped up. Spares right now are very affordable and I'm using some 3rd party and it works fine.
Maintenance:
1. Once a week clean out the dirty water and refill the clean water. (~10m)
2. Once in 2 weeks clean the robot itself and clean the mop pads. (~30m)
3. Whenever the part replacement alarm comes up change those after inspecting the actual part for wear and tear. If the part still has some life I usually use it a little more before replacing them.
I have been mostly hands-off with the vacuum and it just works. Have a schedule for everyday morning before we wake up. House is spotless before we come out of our rooms.
Welcome! Yes it's better than nothing. A lot of people say and will keep saying it's costly and maintenance etc etc but if you can afford it get the one with the dock when you can. The factor of convenience alone is amazing for us. We do not have to rely on maid or anyone else to keep the house clean. We have a retriever at home so for us this is an indispensable tool.

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
