Verdict

A feature-packed robot vacuum and mop with excellent floor and pet hair pickup plus an innovative pad-washing dock, but it is held back by very poor battery life, slow navigation, and an outdated app. Best suited to smaller homes that prioritize cleaning performance and mopping convenience over smart features and long runtime.
