Q7 Max+

Idk how much this is in Australian dollars, but my mom just bought me the Roborock Q7 Max+ for Christmas and she said that when she did her research it was the second best vacuum and mop combo or something and one of the best for a budget model. I tried it once and I like it so far! 

We’ve had a Roborock Q7 Max+ for a bit more than two years now, and have been really impressed with it and in particular it’s navigation. I think all Roborock have a very similar navigation system, the newer Qrevo S seem to have all the same features and more and also be cheaper, but it’s probably a bit over budget still

I wanted to update that I've gone ahead and purchased the l40 ultra however I'm noticing that it's vacuum and capability is not so good as compared to my old Q7 Max Plus. I have also ordered the QV35A which I will be comparing with and returning the one that I don't like. I do have a question though, I'm trying to figure out how to mop my second floor since my robot lives on my first floor. I have seen posts where people said to manually trigger the wash mop function and then take the robot to the second floor but that leaves a question if the water tank would also be refilled so that the robot is making sure to keep the mop wet? Do you happen to know? Would love to hear thoughts and Ideas

Valetudo has been a great solution for me. What I did was found their list of supported robots and researched from there. I found a roborock q7 max+ (or something like that), installled valetudo, and connected to HASS. It has its own Web UI, but works with HASS through MQTT

The more you keep up with it the cleaner things stay. You’re not grinding dirt into the carpet. Sat this as a very messy person. My wife loves the Roborock I got her. Picked up q7 max plus for like $100 with 3 hours of use. Sure you have to be wise and just move cords once or set no go zones, but once schedules are set it’s awesome as a dirty dude to not be getting yelled at for crumbs and dirt on the floor every day. It does its thing, mops kitchen 4x a week, vacs the living room every day, does the bedrooms every other day scheduled for when nobody’s using the rooms. Once it’s set up, it’s fucking awesome. There is this defect in the dock bags though, I shimmed mine because the seal lets dust through/gives a bad smell. With the shims it’s perfect though!

Roborock Q7 Max+ or Q Revo if you want mop too. Killer suction, great nav, handles pet hair like a champ. Skip Eufy if you want smarter mapping.

Check here, you can compare: https://redditrecs.com/robot-vacuum/ I think Roborock is the most reliable brand, so the Roborock q7 max+ should be great for your description. But since mopping is now 299$ it should be fine. But I have one with mopping and I never have mold, since most models clean and try themselves. So the Mova P10 pro seems to be a great Allrounder for around 320-400$. But Mova (and Dreame) seems less reliable and have often problems with carpets. Why I returned mine and bought the Roborock Qrevo MaxV (for 500$) You can often get cheaper Roborock QRevo models for around 400€.
