Roborock seems to be the nvidia of robot vacuums. They're not always the best, but are seen as a safe choice, and they have the best app. I gave up on reading tests since apparently models are refreshed every monday, and just got a roborock.

The best vacuum is apparently the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, and you can actually find it in stores still, but it costs like 1200 euros or something insane like that.

Tldr it's a market for lemons, sadly. Everyone copes by getting Roborock. The one known good one costs as much as a 5080.

Oh wow, so somehow I've entirely missed Roborock's existence until now—cheers for the recommendation!

That one with the robotic arm on it is crazy

Apparently the arm doesn't work that well.
