maybe try upping your budget just a bit. roborock Q series should be able to get less than 2k during promo period now

its worth investing a bit more into a good robot vacuum, you will see the difference vs those cheap brands with poor app design, support

Same with me. I'm just looking for a decent robot vacuum with no mopping function.
Would be great to find a robot that vacuums and self-empty at the dock once it's done.

The nearest match I've found is iRobot™ Roomba® i7+.

You can just skip using the mop. Remove that mop pad and just use vacuum from the app

Skip Roomba because they dont use Lidar at all. Its gonna be a mess mapping your house and navigating around

Aaahhh... this is good info! I've read a lots of reviews but the authors never mentioned this.  :thumbsup:

Yeah, for the price iRobot selling their Roomba, there's no LiDAR. 1 of the reviews said that the Roomba needs a bit longer time to "learn" compared to competitors brands that have the LiDAR function.  bangwall.gif  doh.gif

For my case (Dreame L10S Ultra) this is workable. I'm not sure about other brands, maybe there's some brands that dont allow the robot to be used unless the mop pad is attached

But i am pretty sure almost all apps provide you the option to vacuum only
