The Xiaomi X10+, X20 Max, Vacuum Mop 5, and the Vacuum Mop 5 Pro have an onboard water tank. Models with a basic charging station with a mop feature also have an onboard water tank. In practice, the more noticeable tradeoff is that it uses more water (the Narwal Freo models are a good example of this)
I get it. I have a shark vacmop and have never attached the mop. It’s great at getting the pet hair and fits under my couch. The mapping is wonky, but I’ve had it several years now and don’t see myself replacing it until it quits working. Even replacing the battery was a breeze when the original quit holding charge.
I will second this. I got the Shark AV2001 (currently selling for $220-$250) for $99 on a sale through Woot. I still think I over paid. This thing stinks.
Never manages to find the home dock, constantly running out of juice before making it home, constantly running into things rather than using the camera, and the bin is too small.
Regret the purchase.
I bought a used shark ai 2-in-1 and it’s been sick! It has an app and it vacs and mops. Mine doesn’t have a self emptying base but for the amount of time it saves me cleaning every day I can empty it with zero stress once a day.
Six weeks ago I bought my first ever robot vac from Sam's Club -- a Shark EZ Robot Vacuum with Row-by-Row Cleaning -- for $92. Low charging doc, works great, deal with cat hair from my 2 cats. Love it!
My home sellers gifted me their shark AI Vac. This is my first robot so nothing to compare it with but he is truly life changing. I have 4 dogs and a cat. LVP floors throughout with a few area rugs. I schedule “Lurch” to clean the whole house daily in the app. There is also an option to matrix clean rooms which I use for the area rugs a few times a week. He has been hard at work for 6 months. Does a great job with minimal intervention needed. As you can imagine with so many pets the 60 day dustbin fills up in days. I’m amazed by how much dirt is collected and how clean the house stays.
I do clean and use the stick vacuum weekly to get areas the robot can’t do, behind doors and under some of the furniture. Really minimal dirt and hair found. Prior to the robot missing one day of sweeping or vacuuming would result in dog hair tumbleweeds and even when I did manage to keep up daily tasks the weekly deep clean was a lot.
Considering upgrading to a mopping robot and like the shark enough to consider its newest model.
The plain vacuum is often available on Amazon for less than 300 dollars

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