-
Privacy notes are mixed: one reviewer states it uses no camera or microphone, while others describe a front camera used for reactive obstacle avoidance. If privacy is a concern, verify your unit’s sensor setup and app settings.
-
Mop lifting is a consistent strength: multiple reviews cite roughly a 10mm lift with water shutoff on carpet, enabling mixed-floor vacuum-and-mop runs.
-
One lab-style review reports above-average crevice and groove pickup on hard floors, helping with debris along seams and gaps.
-
Its relatively low height helps it reach under many sofas and furniture pieces, and multiple reviews highlight good under-furniture cleaning performance.

Ease of use is a key strength once it is set up: scheduling, mapping, and the self-maintaining dock reduce daily effort, though clutter-related interruptions can still happen.
-
A deep-clean style test in one review was notably strong, but other reviewers still describe carpet performance as a step behind top-tier robots on more demanding carpets.
-
Hard-floor hair pickup is described as strong for daily maintenance, including pet hair, keeping floors looking clean between deeper cleanings.
-
At least one review highlights floor-safe, scratch-resistant wheels designed to avoid marking hard floors during normal use.
-
The Roborock app earns strong marks for stability, responsiveness, and deep customization (maps, no-go zones, routines), although setup can be tripped up by Wi‑Fi requirements for some users.
-
Auto-emptying into a bag keeps dust contained and reduces mess during disposal, though the emptying cycle can be loud for a short time.
-
Navigation and coverage are widely praised: LiDAR mapping is fast and cleaning paths are efficient and precise, though mirrors or highly reflective surfaces can occasionally confuse mapping.
-
Fine-dust pickup on hard floors is repeatedly rated excellent, with strong results on flour/dust-style tests, though a few comparisons note minor debris left underneath in some runs.
-
Reviews repeatedly call out the low-profile build (around 9.6–9.7cm tall), which helps it fit under many sofas, though ultra-slim models can still go lower.
-
At least one review notes it picked up flour without spreading it around the house, suggesting good scatter and blowback control on fine debris.
-
Docking and auto-empty performance is reviewed positively overall, with reliable returns to dock and effective emptying plus mop washing/drying that supports hands-off ownership.
-
Large-debris pickup on hard floors is strong (crumbs, cereal, rice), generally with minimal scatter; some tests note a few pieces may be left behind depending on conditions.

The dock’s clean/dirty water tanks are large in reviews (commonly 4–5L), enabling hands-off mopping for long stretches, though you still need to empty dirty water and refill clean water periodically.
-
Setup is typically quick via the app/QR code, but some reviewers flag practical hurdles like needing 2.4GHz Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth pairing, or a longer initial mapping run.
-
Runtime is reported as long in real and lab-style use (often cited around 120–180 minutes depending on mode), with efficient coverage that can handle larger spaces per charge.
-
The robot and dock are described as minimalist and premium-looking, with clean lines and a tidy finish that blends into most homes.
-
The dock automates mop washing and air drying along with auto-emptying, greatly reducing hands-on work; some reviews still note periodic manual cleaning of the base/tray and the absence of hot-water washing.
-
Reviewers consistently report strong suction for a midrange combo robot, with impressive hard-floor performance and generally solid carpet results, though it is not always the absolute best on tougher carpets.
-
Long-term costs are viewed as reasonable: bags and filters are straightforward to replace, and one comparison ranked its ownership costs among the lowest in the group tested.
-
Spinning-mop performance is widely praised for everyday cleaning, with adjustable water flow and good results on common messes; heavy or sticky messes may need extra passes.

The dock uses disposable dust bags (roughly 2.7–3L in reviews) that can last weeks at a time, keeping emptying tidy; the onboard bin is smaller but is managed by frequent auto-empty cycles.
-
In comparisons and tier lists, it is frequently positioned as a top midrange option, beating or matching key rivals on navigation/app experience but trailing premium models on tougher edge, carpet, or obstacle scenarios.

Value is a major theme: reviewers call it an excellent buy when discounted (especially under about $500), but less compelling closer to MSRP given missing premium features.
-
Dried-on stain performance is above average: reviews cite successful removal of dried coffee, jelly, and other marks, but sticky or heavy stains (e.g., mud/ketchup) may need extra passes or manual cleanup.
-
Reliability is generally described as good, and one reviewer reports customer support was friendly and resolved an issue, but replacement/service can take time.

Noise is generally described as relatively quiet for a robot vacuum, with one review measuring around the high‑50 dB range; it is audible but not usually disruptive.
-
When something goes wrong (such as a mop pad detaching), reviews describe the robot stopping and alerting you, which helps prevent damage but can interrupt a run.
-
Maintenance is generally low thanks to the dock, but owners still need to change bags, refill/empty water tanks, wipe the tray, and occasionally remove hair from the brush; keeping cords picked up improves reliability.
-
Low-pile carpet pickup is generally good, but reviews disagree on consistency: some report excellent results, while others find embedded debris and pet hair on rugs may require extra passes or a separate vacuum.

Dock noise is typically described as loud during the brief auto-empty step but relatively quiet during mop washing and drying.
-
Hair wrap performance varies by reviewer: some report minimal tangling and easy brush cleanout, while others report wrapping and weaker detangling results. It appears better than many robots but not tangle-proof.
-
Multiple reviews note the all-in-one dock is large and takes up noticeable floor space, so it works best if you have a dedicated spot for it.
