I'll have to look more in depth there, good notes. While I've used my Max 705 for a day or two (app is buggy, over it), I am used to an i7+ which has no obstacle avoidance so it seems like S8+ should be a huge upgrade for me, plus solid mopping capability. I try to pick up obstacles anyways, but it is a nice feature (main thing I would have is some cords dangling behind coach, Max 705 seemed to find those fine, socks would be nice too though..)
Q10 X5+ seems like another contender, more power perhaps but less advanced obstacle avoidance and mopping (I kind of want to test the mopping before buying 2nd unit and maybe getting auto-clean version).
I have s7 ultra max. The brush is different so prevent hair wrapping around though it still does at the edges sometimes. The only time I had issues with emptying was when I tried to use generic bags. They were supposed to work but didn’t seal right so dust was escaping and clogging the vacuum part.
I have a roborock S7 max ultra.
It's like have a invisible cleaner at home, everyday at 4 AM it vacuums all the common areas in the house (hall/passageways) and we wake up to a clean house daily.
And every Sunday night it also does a deep clean by mopping the floors....dumps the water cleans it's mop and drys the mob also with a heater! We love it!
I have a dog and two cats, plus a couple kids, and my Roborock s7 max ultra does a decent job. I run it 1-2x day. I have to refill the tanks and clean the filter about once a week. Definitely get the extended warranty.
I also run air filters and use a real mop and vacuum once a week.
Whatever you do, do not miss out on self cleaning.
It's like the most important part. It makes your life better, easier and cleaner.
That being said, we have an S7 and it's a great one. Deals with two long haired outdoor cats, my hip length hair and WHATEVER my toddler and husband do to the floor absolutely perfect. It's immaculate. I've cut down vacuuming from daily to once a month, mopping from every 3-4 days to once a month, too and the water is mostly clean.
ETA it's like 300€, so should fit your budget.
It's the [Roborock S7 max ultra ](https://de.roborock.com/pages/roborock-s7-max-ultra?srsltid=AfmBOopAAqgBlmkzkszMaZViGEISqfQ-5NtJ5KeeNBQz9NiF7UOhioh8) with the cleaning station. An older model, but absolutely sufficient for regular use. Beware, there is a "max ultra v" version with a camera. It's more expensive and useless, unless you always wanted to experience your flat from a guinea pig view.
Sorry, the link is German, but I think it should redirect you.

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