It has some flaws but the product is usable.

I am an experienced robot user - starting from the very first IRobot! Therefore, my review is not on emotions ("oh, what a miracle, he cleans himself"), but on the experience and practice of using a bunch of devices.
So I'll tell you - thecomst is not justified at all! Overpay more than 25 for the opportunity to see on the map where and what you havelying on the floor - somehow a bit too much. And about monitoring the apartment - for these 25 you can buy 12 Xiaomi cameras and poke allcomrners of the room, so they will also notify you of movement, and see everything, and not what you can see whilelying on the floor.
I took it. after watching video reviews, howcomol he "sees" wires and difficult obstacles. I have an LED tree, I wanted it to go around (because you can set forbidden zones, but they are clearly tied to the room map, and the tree can move, recalibrating this area every time is a chore). So - this robot does not even see a wire with a large charging unit. He, like cheap robots, drives onto this wire, rides back and forth on it, gets tangled, tries to unravel (he knows how, in half the cases he unravels) - and only then sends a photo - they say, look, I'mcomnfused, but I know I'm tangled in the wire! And what's in it for me? The tree is alreadylying on the floor (because during this ride it pulls the charging wire), you won’t unravel it from work, which means that the cleaning didn’t take place in my absence. Here, too, a fiasco, he sees only a part (video). I thought that my camera was defective - I gave it for diagnostics. The answer is that everything is in order, it's just that AI is not perfect yet, ates are underway and maybe in a few years it will understand better. The fact that he simply does not see the wire is generally the norm, because. otherwise, he will not move over the sills, he will perceive them as an obstacle. And that's why he doesn't see the wire with the block - it's strange, but everything is fine with the device. Video attached - ? w=1.

Pros

1. Suction power 2. Operating time on a single charge 4. Ability to build 4 maps 5. Wet cleaning with controlled water supply, convenient fixation of the rag on the robot 6. "Sees" a typical phone charger if it is with a power supply (not just a wire) 7. You can monitor the apartment through the camera 8. Lidar, which means conscious cleaning, and not the “poke” method, which corresponds to a shorter cleaning time

Cons

1. Does not use the camera for navigation! Only to send a photo of an obstacle and identify this obstacle after poking into it (moreover, in 60% of cases - incorrect identification, AI is not finalized and is in the learning stage, maybe in a couple of years, thanks to all of us, he will learn to identify correctly) 2. Only 4 cards, although the cheaper robot 360 has 10 cards! if you have rooms with thresholds, and even more so a large house - consider that every time he will spend time building a map and will not use a previously built map. 3. God forbid it gets stuck or stops in the middle of cleaning - in 50% of cases it does not recognize where it is, believes that it is starting again from charging and, accordingly, goes crazy because the location of the walls does not match the current map 4. The design of the round brush is not thought out - the hair winds like this. that even the included knife does not help, you have to pull it out straight with tweezers. Again - the 360 has special anti-winding rubber bands 5. A short (very short! ) Charging cable, there is no place to store the extra wire (although in earlier Xiaomi models there was a compartment) 6. Sooo heavy, it’s not convenient to carry between floors 7. There are glitches with the construction of the map. Normally, it runs along the perimeter of the room, and then cleans with lines. But there were several times (after resetting the settings on the recommendation of the store) when he suddenly did not reach the wall, although he saw it (see photo, the chaotic movement of the vacuum cleaner is visible there). 8. The button on the lidar does not work, which prevents getting stuck under the cabinets, if the height is not even, but at an angle, the height decreases. 9. The Roborock app is not the best in terms of performance. interface, you have to dig straight to find functions (360 is much better)
