The only annoying Xiaomi moments are when it recognizes a sock as dog poo then refuses to do anything in that area (or I couldn't figure out how to reset it). Ah, and it constantly gets stuck on bar stools pedestals.

When it comes to poo, I'd rather it be overly cautious than miss.

Then it becomes a smear campaign.

Can confirm, source: me, cat owner - had to take apart the Xiaomi / Roborock S5 (surprisingly easy), clean it up from cat vomit and also clean the living room entirely...

Why? The thing is supposed to clean dirt. My guess is it only cleans superficially anyway.

Have you replied to the correct comment?

The robot sucked up cat sick then smeared it around the room.

Cleaning everything seems a reasonable thing to do.

As a Roomba owner (with a Cat), I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly.

I'm picturing this now and it is not a nice picture.

I know mine still refuse to pass on an area where it got stuck once and I can't find how to reset this area to tell it's safe again.
