Carpet or hard floors? I have a roborock S4 pure and it is fantastic on my hard floors for cat hair. for carpet, I have a shark navigator lift away and it does a really good job at get pet hair out of carpet and off the couch.
Have also owned roborocks since the S4. The only big downside is IF something does go wrong past their 1 year warranty you’re completely out of luck. Their in house repairs are prohibitively expensive (costs almost as much as a new vacuum). My dock broke for my S8 Pro Ultra at the 13 month mark and they advised me to buy a second hand one off eBay because they don’t repair docks or sell dock replacements. Their service in the US is absolutely terrible.
I ended up getting a new dock off of eBay for way too much money and I’m hoping it lasts more than a year.
I bought a Roborock S4 back in 2020 and it still works great. I maintained it regularly but now Roborock stopped selling the main brush replacements so I need to try 3rd party. If I'd known ahead of time, I could've bought in bulk but I guess 5 years is a long time for a robot vacuum anyway
I have a 9 month old so everything you said applies to me… I will say I haven’t checked on the ramp thing but the s8+ I bought last year works very well. It goes over the mats. The reason I bought it was because I wanted better than obstacle avoidance. I was coming from an S4 (not max) which had none. This does a good job, is self empty and does mop too.
The mop is a vibrating mop bit the spin type of a revo. This doesn’t bother me as robot mopping still isn’t great no matter what you get, until you’re shelling out $1500+. Even then, I don’t think mopping tech has “matured yet”.
I ultimately would just recommend a robot vacuum that has good obstacle avoidance as you just don’t want it to get stuck places since you’re spending time with your kiddo and not worrying about cleaning/picking up as much

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