"best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock"
"The second one I got was self emptying so it can continue all by itself and I really appreciate it. I only have to empty the main basin once a week and that's it. Super convenient"
"The dock is nice for people with pets, as some would need to empty the bin daily."

"I was using a Dyson vacuum but it’s been in the closet since I got the roborock. ... In reality, it’s exceeded my expectation and I have not used my normal vacuum since I got it."

"It has a water tank on it for mopping but it really is useless because it is just gravity fed water and many times doesn't even wet the floor."
"Of these, the worst mopping will be the Q5 and Q8 robots, which just have stationary pads attached to the back."
"The mop is completely passive, does no scrubbing,"

"Oh I had it, it’s even worse. Try testing out its avoidance with almost anything, especially on carpets. ... It didn’t know the poo it saw a week ago was real thou ): ... Never had me roomba j series run into poop. ... My Roomba J9+ avoided diarrhea ... Because both my Dreame L series and Roomba J series did the same test flawlessly"
"Oh I had it, it’s even worse. Try testing out its avoidance with almost anything, especially on carpets. ... Yeah, on hard floor it seems to do well; it’s issues are pretty specific to carpet from my experience. ... Same issues with all my carpets."
"gets lost and stuck a lot ... It requires a lot of babysitting for me."

"Carpet everywhere."
"for straight vacuum and suction power the neato is better. ... Before I had a neato bot vac and dir just vacuuming the neato is far superior. That did a way better job of throughly heavy duty vacuuming, when I had that vacuum I had 3 German shepherds and a black lab so I definitely needed a ton of suction and power that didn’t clog, get tangled etc."

"it was a pain to constantly empty the tiny dust storage container on the vacuum itself constantly. ... besides the issue with constantly emptying it."
"My 1 issue with it is not with the vacuum but it's empty dock design. The bags do not seal perfectly allowing some dust to escape which will clog a vent preventing proper emptying."
"my docking station started to clog with debris and hair."
