In-Depth Notes & Analysis
Performance
Strong hard-floor and low-pile pet-hair scores for the money. There is no camera, so cables and socks on the floor are its known weakness.
What independent testing found
VacuumWars rated it "the perfect mid-level robot vacuum choice," scoring performance highly, but its obstacle-avoidance test course result was just 4 of 12 — attributed to the lack of side lasers found on pricier Roborock models. TechHive independently reached the same conclusion: it "isn't as adept at detecting and avoiding obstacles as the top models," but "has a more efficient mopping system" and the 5,500 Pa suction "sucks up everything in its path."
