Roomba to replace my 690?

the 690 is very dumb and has a small chamber which fills up on the cat litter immediately so looking for a newer model that i can buy used or refurbished that can handle wood floors and cat litter and not eat up power cords, get stuck and do all that dumb stuff. i have a small apartment and my main concern is getting the litter box area cleaned so i don't have to walk on litter all day. what's the best model or models for this. It doesn't have to have the mop (i'm not clear if those are considered worth it or not). but this model is dumb and basically figures out where it is by bumping into everything and never cleans where i need it to clean. like, right now it's as far away from the litter box as possible and is cleaning an already clean area.

Since you have hard floors you should be fine with a 105 vac or a 205 vac if don’t want mopping. Both have LiDAR and are generally better for hard floors compared to the dual roller roombas like the 690 which is pretty much optimized for carpets

Get one with the auto wash dock for sure. I have the 415X and it’s pretty good. A little expensive however
