Navigation and object avoidance aren't the same thing: navigation is finding its way round your house. Object avoidance is making sure it sees but doesn't roll over things on the floor eg toys, electrical cables etc. I'm a fan of Eufy (I've had several since 2028)- I have the budget-minded C20, but a lot of folks like the E25, and the successor to the c20, the C28, has just been released.
I bought a reasonably priced brand called Eufy about a year ago, and it does the self cleaning routine. Also has LIDAR to map the house, so it runs an efficient pattern and doesn't just randomly bounce off the walls. It was my first robo-vac, and I had no idea the technology had come so far. Freaking love that thing.
My old Eufy LiDAR vacuum does a great job cleaning hair off the floor. I think all modern Robot Vacuums do a great job cleaning up all hair from pets and humans.
Eufy with lidar works well. You can restrict areas after you’ve mapped the house/rooms, the only inconvenience is fitting the mop head on and filling up the water but that would be the same for every model
I've got a eufy with lidar and it's amazing. It helps with having 2 dogs especially.
If no mop then I would go something from Roborock at the top of your budget. I struggled too man. I went with a Eufy 28 because I really wanted a good mop and at my price point, it's the best bang for my buck.
I have the x9 because x11 base cannot fit in our panty and have had like 4 robots in past 3-4 months was very hesitant because of bad experience with ecovacs....And after 3 weeks of cleaning it is the most stable one. It just works..... I am also testing the eufy 28 it is ok but hangs and does weird stuff but it is a quality product. Just a tip on x11. Do not use AI on it and turn down the sensitivity of object avoidance to standard from sensitive if you have pets it will avoid pet hair..... Also put the water usage on 40 and remove the small filter from the dirty water tank it will just clog and make the robot not clean that well. The only "fault for me" is the small air filter that clogs quickly and sidebrush that does not come 100% in corners but the robot itself goes closer so it helps. Enjoy your helper 😃
I have an eufy 28 which is essentially the same thing. I am very happy with it. Its obstacle avoidance during the day is pretty good. When I run it at night it almost always gets stuck on something but that’s more my issue. The roller mop does a great job. I don’t have good comparisons so I don’t know if it’s not as good as some of the others but I’m satisfied with the purchase.
