I'm not up to date, but if you stick with Roborock, check the HA integration's compatibility list for the model you're interested in.
Unbeknownst to me, I ended up with one that has very limited support (Q5 Pro), whereas others seem quite good.
Check it out:

Q series isn't fully supported. The basics are there, but looks like there's a lot available for other models.
I’ve been using Roborock Q5 pro which is within your mentioned budget.Quite good for vacuuming as an entry level robot.btw i got it for $124 (from japan).it has dual rollers,large dustbin ,good battery backup and very good mapping.Only downside is mopping.
Picked up an S1 Pro about a month ago ( < $600.00 price mistake... bragging). It's my first roller mop and it does absolutely great cleaning and navigating on my hardwood/LVP.
I agree about carpet. That's why I've kept my Roborock Q5 pro. It vacuums really well. The 'win/win' is this lets me keep the Eufy vacuum setting on low and that helps with battery life. I run the Q5 pro first and after it cleans one room, I have the Eufy follow always one hardwood/LVP room behind the Roborock. Lastly the Q5 pro will vacuum my carpeted rooms while the S1 pro is finishes on the hardwood/LVP. This works out well.
I've found except for inner corners the Eufy does well getting under kickplates. And luckily it has not leaked like I've read on other posts when I was researching.
For mopping, compared to the Dreame L20 Ultra's it mops significantly more dirt. Never going back to mop pads.
Given the posts on Robot Vacuums detailing problems with the new roller/vacs by Mova and Narwal and Dreame I'd wait a good while to see if bugs can be worked out with firmware software and how these robots will hold up after a good six months on the market. The added bonus of waiting is prices usually come down.
Vi kjøpte S50 eller noe sånn i 2019 for cirka 3000. Fungerer som bare pokker. Byttet en sensor i fjor, kostet 55kr.
I dag ville jeg kjøpt Roborock Q5 Pro, koster cirka det samme. Men har støtt for flere etasjer og børste du ikke må krangle med når den skal rengjøres.
The amount of hair my roborock Q5 Pro+ Robot Vacuum picks up has completely taken over all our vaccuming minus stairs. 100% would recommend with the auto empty dock. The app is easy to use and setup rooms, the dual brush design also makes it super simple to clean.
Another Roborock. I wanted something cheap to try so I only got the Q5 Pro. I purposely not getting the mopping since I like to manually spray different cleaner and change a microfiber mop pad after every use. I might be lazy but this thing really save me from mental breakdown with a toddler at home. I run it twice a week on a high traffic area then mop. I never bought a "good" vaccum so I can't really tell the difference. Maybe a bit cat fur flying? We are also a shoe off house with zero carpet and only couple rugs. The only issue is that recently it started to disconnect itself (twice only) and since our moderm can't change the frequency manually it was an headach until I figure it out on my phone last time. If I'm getting another one, I'm going with Roborock

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