Pros:
It navigate my hardwood floor, tiles and my carpets well, even finding paths you wouldn't expect to work.
It doesn't get stuck with its rising wheels to the rescue, avoid most reasonable obstacles and shows a picture on the map of things it detected. The tank is good for about 3+ full wash before meeting to refill. Voice command work pretty well in both English and French, though could support more specific requests.
Cons:
I wish there was a firmware update changelog and roadmap, still need to test Matter support which for now wouldn't sync with HA, can't use the camera while it's already cleaning which is a strange choice considering the feature, map editor could use and UX improvement so we can't mistakenly move objects, more room cuttout options, more furniture types and without random size restrictions. Room cleaning ordering could be made easier in the routine, but should also be configurable in the full clean. The app is great, but it could be improved so much still!
The manual should recommend some alternative compatible detergent solution concentrates to use.
Overall:
At 3-4 times to the price of the Q8 Max+, I wasn't sure I was doing the right choice, but a couple of weeks in it's been great, can clean without recharging for over 3h30 and the mopping being able to wash the pads after every room, or a couple minutes, makes a world of difference.
Separating vacuuming and mopping with the routine also allows for deeper cleaning options in both modes which can be useful for your deep spring cleaning..
Do you need all these features? Probably not, but every little improvements and nice to have are removing loads from your mind and, hoping the robot will last years with normal maintenance, it's worth it if you can afford the splurge...
This is my 2nd robot, but both are recent and I'm now wondering why I thought you couldn't use a robot to clean your floor...
