roborock Robot Vacuum and Mop, Robotic Vacuum Cleaner with Lidar Navigation, 2000Pa Suction, Wi-Fi Connected, No-go Zones, Multi-Floor Mapping, Selective Room Cleaning, Ideal for Home with Pets

Nice robotic vacuum. I had initially tried the base model shark vacuum and was amused. That particular vacuum used the bump to bump method of cleaning and overall did a good job. Moving into the future was nice since I now didn't need to sweep the floor myself. I wondered how nice it would be to have a robotic mop as well. I found this Roborock with the added mop function and was impressed by the reviews so I decided to give it a try. I have now had the vacuum in operation for the past three weeks and I now feel qualified to provide a review.The vacuum function has five modes: Mop, Quiet, Balanced, Turbo, and MAX. So far I've tried three of the modes, the Balanced, MAX, and the MOP. The Balanced mode allows the Roborock to automatically increase and decrease the suction power depending on the terrain that it goes over such as bare floor vs carpeting, works fine and is not too loud. I could still watch TV while it's doing its thing without too much distraction. The MAX mode is loud and sounds like a quieter version of a full vacuum. I noticed that with MAX mode, the Roborock seems more aggressive when bumping into things. This makes sense as I suspect the primary use for MAX mode would be carpeting. I mostly used the Roborock for hardwood flooring so the Balanced mode has worked fine even though we have four small dogs in the house.The Mop mode drops the vacuum to a bare minimum and is a one time use that needs to be activated in the settings before beginning a cleaning cycle. This should only be used if the floor had already been cleaned. However, I normally use the mopping container on the balanced mode which using higher suction and does the mopping at the same time. I do this about two times per week and it does well in keeping my floors clean. Also, the cleaning pattern of the Mop mode doesn't look any different than the balanced mode so it's almost unnecessary but I can see how it could be handy if used while at home so you can monitor the cleaning. I often fill the water container in the morning before going to work and let it vacuum/mop while I'm away and it does fine just on its own. I think the manual states to be home when using the mopping container but my floors are smooth and I remove anything on the floor that can be so I've yet to have any issues.Obviously, the mopping won't be as good as manually mopping or a steam mop but I have found that with regular use, it does a pretty good job that I can live with. On one occasion, I added vinegar to the water in an attempt to provide a bit of cleaning power to the water and it worked ok but I noticed that the moisture on the floor wasn't as evenly distributed so I don't think that is a winner. On another occasion, I added a little bit of chlorinated surface cleaner to the container and I think it worked a little better since I could smell a little chlorine clean in the air. I think I will be trying this again. Also, the instructions do say not to add cleaners to the water because it could cause the small filtered water distribution ports on the bottom of the container to clog. Well, I just purchased a 12 pack of the filters here on Amazon for less than five bucks so I will be experimenting with adding different types of cleaners that won't leave a residue on the floor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JZZ3RF3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I have also bought an additional 10 microfiber mopping pads for less than twenty bucks to allow me to replace the cloth after each mopping cycle https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GJNR3TN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. In this manner, once I have a few dirty cloths, I can wash a bunch of them using my washing machine at the same time.The cleaning pattern that the Roborock uses is impressive. Since it literally can see using the laser on its little cupula, it creates a map of the area and does a great job a covering just about every inch of the floor. I have noticed a couple glitches though when I set the software to store the map. On at least two times, I left a loose rug on the floor that caused the robot to get stuck. Someone walking by picked up the robot and set it off of where it stopped and restarted the cleaning. The Roborock appear to "ghost" the room map as seen on my phone app. Basically, the original room map was still there but there was a second offset map as well. This caused the Roborock to extend the cleaning cycle since it wasn't able to know that the issue occurred. However, it still cleaned the entire floor just in some places it did so more than once. At the end of the cycle it struggled to find its home since the dock on the map was offset because of the "ghosted" image. The software provides an option to not save the map which I activated. In this manner it resets the map each time and works well. I didn't set any exclusion zones so have no need to save the map. If I did need to add zones, I would toggle the map saving function and once it completes a new cycle the map would be saved where zones could be added.The voice on the Roborock is adequately loud and clear. It announces when a cleaning cycle is about to start and end, when the dirt container needs to be emptied, and if an error occurs such as when it has gotten stuck on the rug. There may be more things that it announce but the above are the ones I've heard so far. Also, there are several languages and voices that can be set. For english, there is only one option at the moment and it's a female voice - it is nice though.Another interesting thing is that the first few times that the robot mapped the rooms, it would vacuum at an angle to the direction of the square rooms. This bothered my touch of OCD but it did do a good job of cleaning. The last time I reset the map, it now vacuums perpendicular to the walls which are north, south, east, and west - so basically it is now vacuuming in a north south pattern which makes me happy (lol).The timer works perfectly as well. I set the Roborock to clean in balanced mode every day during the week and to MAX mode on the weekends when I'm home. On at least a couple of days during the week, I install the mopping container. On the weekend, I allow the MAX vacuum cycle to complete then perform a second cleaning using the Mop mode for extra cleaning. This cycle is working very well for me.Overall, I am very happy with the Roborock and would definitely buy it again if I had to do it all over again. It cleans well, has a mop feature that I can now not live without, and it is smart!It's currently snowing outside and I sure wish there was a robotic snow cleaner for my driveway!

We were somewhat late to try robotic vacuum cleaner. The reviews on the first ones were discouraging and, as highly practical people, we decided that we will give it a try when one of our vacuum cleaners will need to be replaced. We are diehard Dyson users, so we know what solid quality and good suction is. So recently, when a battery on our cordless stopped holding charge, I went shopping for robot vacuum, keeping my mind open to any and every brand and model.Let me tell you right away, I am seriously in love with this machine! OMG, it is amazing! We have never, never ever had floors as clean as now.Our floors are antique oak (the house is over a century old) and there are area rugs in almost every room (one of the rugs has substantial fringe). There is tile in the kitchen and heated laminate in glassed-in veranda. Roborock cleans all these surfaces flawlessly. There are several hairy (some of them very-very much so) pets (some use litter boxes which is always messy) and multiple houseplants. We cook a lot. This is just to give you an idea, that the house is very much lived in. Floor-plan is very complicated with irregular shaped rooms containing lots of furniture and various objects.Roborock can get into spaces which I cannot reach with conventional vacuum cleaner (I get there twice a year at best, during "in depth" cleaning). For the first few weeks I've had daily cleaning scheduled and it goes for about an hour and a half. Later on I might switch to every other day (or I might not, let it work!).The machine is very gentle, if it bumps into water dish, it does not tip it over; does not scratch floors or antique furniture, does not damage antique or contemporary wool rugs (do not know how it will do on synthetics, but I am assuming OK).I am somewhat less impressed with mopping function. It is fine on generally clean floors, will clean an odd paw-print, but it is not nearly as fantastic as vacuuming function of this unit.Now a couple of details. Did not like the app, not well designed and can be confusing. The cleaning gets better every time since Roborock creates more detailed map of the household. On day two it failed to find the dock (ran out of charge while getting lost), but it never happened since. Now it knows exactly where the dock is and gets there on time. So you have to be patient and let it learn for a few days. In one place there is a threshold with 3.5" drop; so I have to take the machine to this area and let it clean.Emptying, cleaning the brush, adding the mop are all very easy, almost effortless. Highly recommend!PS There lots of old houses in our area, so people were skeptical about new technology being able to deal with unusual floor plans, carpets etc. I have been so ecstatic about the Roborock, that two of the neighbors asked to bring it over to them and run a demonstration.... they are impressed and will be buying their own.

El desempeño de este pequeño y nada ruidoso animalito, es sorprendente, realmente aspira, nosotros tenemos pisos de loseta cerámica y alfombras persas, así como pisos de parqueé y ambas superficies las aspira muy bien y eso que tenemos dos perros que andan por toda la casa, salen al jardín y entran y a veces dejan huellas de lodo, pelos, tierra, etc, y todo queda limpio. La trapeada es buena, sin ser la mjor, pero si el psio está medianamente sucio funciona bien.El sistema de navegación por lasser es excelente ya que traza sus propios mapas y se ubica de inmediato evitando todo obstáculo sin complicaciones, ante cualquier inconveniente, el equipo emite un mensaje hablado y también lo envía al celular, realmente ahorra mucho tiempo y dolores de cintura, sin duda la recomiendo, es una inversión, pero al menos para nosotros nuestro tiempo vale mucho más y claro las espalda.La puedes programar y solo el equipo aspirará por ejemplo sala y comedor a las 3 ó 4 am sin ruido y cuando despiertas ya está limpio

Es sorprendente, me impresionó lo increíble que trabaja. Debe limpiar un 90 % del polvo o basuritas porque no entra en todos los espacios, sin embargo es una aspiradora grandiosa. Incluso levantó una corcholata. El único detalle fue que parecía haber sido usada anteriormente (como la di como regalo, me dio mucha pena saber que fue usada), me comuniqué con la tienda y llegamos a un acuerdo no completamente de mi agrado, pero algo es algo; de ahí en fuera, es magnífica.Tengo que decir que no es un producto barato.

Es de muy buena calidad, hay que ver videos en you tube para programarlo e instrucciones más claras de uso .
