Pros

With 13000 Pa of suction power and support for all floor types, it handles both vacuuming and mopping across a variety of surfaces
A 5000 mAh battery delivers up to 210 minutes of runtime per charge, allowing it to cover larger spaces without frequent interruptions
The self-emptying bin can go up to 75 days between manual empties, reducing the need for regular user intervention
Mapping, route mapping, no-go zones, and virtual barriers give users detailed control over cleaning areas and boundaries
Mop raising, mop drying, and water level adjustment make the mopping system more capable than a basic wet-pad setup
Both a HEPA filter and an allergy filter are included, which is relevant for households sensitive to dust and allergens

Cons

A dustbin capacity of just 0.38 l is relatively small, even with the self-emptying station handling most of the workload
The included filters are not washable, meaning ongoing filter replacements are necessary for maintenance
There is no physical remote control included, so all manual control relies on the smartphone app
At 104 mm in height, it may not fit under lower furniture, limiting its reach in certain rooms
A charge time of 4 hours is on the longer side relative to the runtime it provides

Who is this for?

This robot vacuum cleaner is a strong fit for users who want a largely hands-off cleaning routine, thanks to its self-emptying bin with up to 75 days between empties and scheduled cleaning support. Households with mixed flooring will benefit from its ability to clean all floor types combined with integrated mopping, mop raising, and mop drying. It also suits users with dust or allergy sensitivities, given the inclusion of both a HEPA filter and an allergy filter, and those who want granular control over their cleaning zones through mapping, no-go zones, and virtual barriers.

Who is this NOT for?

Users living in smaller spaces or homes with a lot of low-clearance furniture may find the 104 mm height a limiting factor, as it may not fit under certain sofas or beds. Those who prefer not to rely on a smartphone app for control will find this unit less convenient, since there is no physical remote control included. It is also less suited to households that prefer low-maintenance filter care, as the filters are not washable and will require periodic replacement rather than a simple rinse.
