I bought one of those ~2 months ago and it’s been great so far. I have cats so my tip for you is to clean under the robot after the first few times you run it to see how much fur/hair got stuck under it. I have a pretty big place, so I clean after every run.
Other than that, be careful not to vacuum over wet spots, mine tried to vacuum in a place that I had spilled the cats water and it ended up ruining the trash bag, it’s super inexpensive and easy to change. You should probably buy a few spare trash bags and other parts, you can find some kits online for sale
The Xiaomi X20 Pro is the same price and will do much better since it has a lidar tower for better navigation and can dry mops with warm air to prevent mildew, which I recommend for damp climates like the UK.
This was a nice purchase for me. I also got it for sale. Tech is nice hardware is nice. Sensors does it's job - always checks the corners. Vacuum could have been a bit more stronger for the carpets. The new version has hair tangle remover, this doesn't. That's a good add to have in the latest model. 1 year now, keeping the house tidy - I only hard clean my place one a week every other day the robo vac does it.
X20+ is missing hot drying with makes a difference imo, check Xiaomi X20 pro or Max both in your price range(check Xiaomi official store), seems like Curv S5X is around 520 on PcComponentes too, it's above your 450 euros top but might be well worth it in the long run.

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