The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I've been using the vacuum cleaner for a year.
I have 10 years of experience using IRobot Roomba 572 (Pet).
I actively use the smart home from Xiaomi, in the MiHome application on Chinese servers. Since the AI ​​of the vacuum cleaner works correctly only in the Roborock application on IOS, I sacrificed the integration of the vacuum cleaner into the smart home system and took the global version, which I do not regret, due to the lack of likely application scenarios in the smart home system. I installed the application to my wife and shared the vacuum cleaner with her. As a result, both can manage it from anywhere in the world. If the area of ​​​​the house is large, then a reliable coverage of the entire floor of WiFi is required to use the camera in the application (for viewing).
Service after cleaning:
Cleaning the trash can and its filter. Wash them under water.
Draining the water from the tank (I think it may go out) and washing the napkins under the tap. It launders perfectly, additionally I wash it with liquid soap.
Inspection of the swivel wheel (sometimes clogged with wool).
After about 4 cleanings, I remove the hair from the spinning side brush and look through the main brush with disassembly.
It is important to understand that the vacuum cleaner is intended for regular (preferably daily) cleaning. I tried every other day to start a vacuum cleaner with wet cleaning on one of the floors in the house. But at the same time, I do not like the quality of wet cleaning and can leave stains if it finds a dusty place.
I came to such a scenario of ideal cleaning - 1. Start the vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning of the floor at maximum suction power. When finished, shake out the container and rinse the filter. The filter will dry out after a few hours. 2. After a few hours, send the vacuum cleaner for wet cleaning of the same floor. In this mode, the floor is cleaned perfectly. There are no streaks left on glossy and matte tiles. On a dark laminate, there are also no streaks. I pour water from an osmosis filter, almost distilled.
The vacuum cleaner handles the dog with care. If she inquisitively stands in his way, then he will go around her or simply stop if the dog prevents him from passing.

Pros

Camera! You can monitor the progress of cleaning while away from home, you can send the vacuum cleaner to any point on the floor map and see what is happening there. An example in the photo. You can listen to the sound from the vacuum cleaner and even send an audio file recorded through the microphone in the application to it. These goodies arrived with the latest ate. Access to the camera is protected, including a graphical password in the application. The camera even sees in complete darkness. AI self-learns and recognizes objects that interfere with cleaning. The result of recognition and photo can be seen after cleaning on the map in the application. An example in the photo. Yes, for such goodies as a camera and AI (artificial intelligence), compared to S5max, we overpay 20, but this is a conscious choice. The main advantage is the ideal work with the map. Building a map, assigning the order and type of cleaning for each room, highlighting inaccessible areas, highlighting areas without wet cleaning. Builds a map of each floor and can store maps of 4 floors. There is a height sensor, so it understands which floor it is on. A tank of water is enough to clean a floor of about 95 sq. M on the penultimate level of wet cleaning from the settings. Approximately the same area and the battery charge is calculated at the maximum suction level. When parking the vacuum cleaner, the water supply stops and there will be no puddle under it. Compared to my old iRobot, the vacuum doesn't wrap hair around the brush. This is a very positive thing, because in IRobot they were all on the brush and it took effort to clean the brush from the hair.

Cons

The AI is advanced, but it's not perfect yet either. Specifically, my claims - the vacuum cleaner does not see a disposable diaper for a dog. Especially bad is that it gets stuck in the wheels. Dog bowls do not spill and go round, this is a plus. The vacuum cleaner was bought taking into account the fact that there is a dog (10 kg) in the house and its waste sometimes does not happen. But here comes the disappointment - he does not see the puddle from the dog. In the reviews there is information that the recognition of objects the size of a pack of cigarettes and less is not guaranteed. It can get stuck moving the legs of the clothes dryer - this is generally a shame. At the maximum suction level, the vacuum cleaner is noisy. There is a 2022 language in the application. But disrespect for the 2022 buyer in the form of the absence of the 2022 voice acting package, so far on the face. Once the vacuum cleaner stopped responding in the application and was determined. Removing from the application and rebinding the vacuum cleaner with resetting the wifi settings on it helped. But, after rebinding, he remembered the settings. Addition 1. I'm ating my review based on bad experience. Although I was present in the house, it so happened that the dog did relieve a serious need in a part of the room that had not yet been cleaned, while the vacuum cleaner was running. By the time the scent of this disaster wafted into my next room, my flagship AI robot had already spread the problem over an area of about a square meter. I interrupted the cleaning and washed the robot with a toothbrush for about an hour, because it was all done. The strongest side brush and wheel tread. I really hope that the developers still use the potential of the robot and save pet owners from such sad problems. Addendum 2. At the moment, the vacuum cleaner is regularly used for a year. Twice a week cleans 2 floors with wet cleaning. Today I noticed that wet cleaning has ceased to be wet - the rag is dry. Inspection showed that the problem is in the water supply injectors to the rag. They were both sealed (probably by lime deposits). One managed to clean with a fingernail. Second toothpick. I use water from a reverse osmosis filter.
