K10+

Hey. Because you're all hard floor and you named some specific features, I thought I'd talk through this with you. So, Pa is important, sure, but I'm testing robots with absurdly high Pa (over 20k) that miss a lot of debris, and then there's the Switchbot K10+ which has almost no Pa and gets most stuff up. I believe, strongly, that Pa matters less than people think (and marketing people at big brands agree, they keep upping Pa because consumers name it as their main decision making factor). What matters is the design and location of the sweeps in relation to the roller. I say all this because on hard floors, you see ALL the cat hair and litter... so that design is even more important. Navigating around toys: easy. Everyone does it well. Cords? No one does it well. Debris management: 3 months in between changing the bag isn't a big deal. I think you'll be fine. mova v50- low end parts. dreame L50- wasn't bad, but thought the vacuum left a lot to be desired. narwal freo z10, narwal freo z ultra- opposite of no maintenance. you'll be refilling the water every day. eufy e28-has the right sweep/roller design, but was riddled with errors and leaks roborock qrevo curv s5x. dreame x50- good option.

Same here. We had a wobbly Roborock s5 and a switchbot k10+. Both if those dragged a wipe around and was more hassle then its worth. We upgraded to a Qrevo master and the difference of our hardwood floor and tiles are night and day.

For under 350 you might be a bit more limited. However this may be a curveball answer here to the mainstream, but i have a switchbot k10 for my 2nd floor and the tiny thing is an absolute trooper.

I have a switchbot K10+. It was super cheap and it vacuums so well, even between the legs of the chairs, underneath the sofa,... It's a great deal, just for the vacuum function in itself. The 'mopping' function isn't the best. I've used it once, since changing the wet tissue is too much work as it doesn't last long before it's no longer wet (also got heated floors). But I knew this beforehand and I love this robovacuum. It helps my mental health and was great for my relationship too! I think you can currently buy this one for €170

Hey! We have tumbled travertine tile with holes and wide grout lines. We have the Dreame L40 Ultra (Gen 1), which does a decent job, but isn't perfect. We had low expectations due to the rustic and chaotic nature of our natural flooring but we are quite happy! We don't use the mopping as frequently but we run the vacuum nightly to help with any crumbs we may have missed We didn't want to mop often as we didn't want the tile treatment to wear off soon, but our vacuum only uses water on the floor so we mop about once a week Edit: since you don’t need mopping, look into the SwitchBot K10+ or SwitchBot K11+. If you buy through Amazon, you can usually take advantage of their return policy if it doesn’t perform well on your tile. We previously had the K10+ and I was really happy with it for the price. The only downside was that third-party replacement parts weren’t widely available, so replacements were a bit more expensive. The K10+ robot is so small it would actually fit between our barstool legs and in to small areas!

I got the tiny switchbot on sale for our master bedroom because it's on its own floor and has several spaces (especially under our bedframe and between furniture/walls) that a wider vac can't fit in, and it's honestly been a game changer. I don't have to pull out the stick vac for that room at nearly ever anymore. It runs on its own when noone's in the bedroom. And since there's no plumbing-based mop, it cuts down on moving parts and keeps the bot maintenance to a minimum. I'm not sure why there isn't a bigger market for tiny robot vacuums other than (I can only guess?) the economics don't make sense because it still costs a lot to manufacture a robot vacuum even if it's a bit smaller, and the market cap is significantly lower for a niche case.
