I have a Roborock too. It is certainly good at quickly creating a reasonably accurate map, but it just gets stuck so easily. Things like going into an enclosed corner but unable to get out. Or going into a room, cleaning the floor just behind the door such that the door shuts and now unable to leave the room. I certainly cannot run it while not at home. It will just get stuck.

We must have different layouts or settings because I can count on one hand the number of times that it's gotten stuck.

Once it ate a piece of paper and jammed the main roller. The other times have been when it's managed to get itself under an area rug.

If I leave a door open it doesn't touch it. On mine there are settings which tell it to avoid bumping into things.
