| OUR TAKE | The flagship's smarter-priced sibling - same threshold-climbing chassis and self-maintaining dock, a tier down in price. The sweet-spot Roborock for most homes. | The sensible starter - real LiDAR mapping and a self-empty dock at half the money. Skips the mop theatrics and nails the daily vacuum job. |
