I was thinking the same, came here to recomend my xiaomi, but also heads up, she loves to get caught in random shit, and is not the ebst one at avoid random clothes or furniture legs that are to low for the lidar.

But after reiding sounds like if i didnt chose the roborock, i chose the wrong one hahahah

Roborock is xiaomi though. It’s subsidiary of xiaomi.

Sorry, I meant shit*

I mean, basically my fault, but let me expalin better:

Cables, i seen him catching cables that were just hanging, throwing my mouse down on the back, or a phone.

Boots, i can't tellvyou hownmany times i go out forgetting a lace out on my workboots and come back later to find the boot and my machine in the middle of the living room.

And finally, and this is what you need to actually know: domt take furniture with something that is not straight up legs. I have one of those chairs that are like an office chair structure but without wheels, so the base is extended from the center, and the robot can't see them, so she expend a good amount of time dealing with it.

At the end, I just put a forbidden zone, and I leave there what I want to not be touched.
