As someone looking for a robot vacuum, care to just share to name?

It's probably a Roborock. I had a Roomba that I found disappointing for years and after reading positive reviews of Roborock here and on Reddit, I finally pulled the plug on an S7 MaxV Ultra. Worth every penny.

To be clear, the CCP definitely has a detailed map of my home. But man, I've got two dogs that shed a lot, and it's great. Sometimes you've gotta accept the tradeoffs, y'know?

Sounds like the Dreame L20 Ultra. I have it, it's miles better than any irobot I've owned.

I don't know the parent's brand but I have a CECOTECT CONGA 11090 that fills exactly the description. CECOTEC is a spanish brand tho, and may not be available everywhere, and almost sure they manufacter the hardware in China so very possible the same specs are offered by other brands elsewhere, but those are my two cents

From valetudo.cloud: Conga is a brand that uses existing robot designs with a slightly customized cloud.They’re not a robot manufacturer.
