In that regard, its one of many.

Of course, the issue with getting edges and corners is inherent in this punch in of vacuum.

Sure, you could find robot vacuums capable of mopping for less.

For example, theBissell Spinwave R5costs $549.99 / about 455.19 /AU$799 and it has both functionalities.

Anything mopping-related is done manually.

The Yeedi Cubes base station also sucks out the dirty water.

After the initial mapping of my space, it all showed up as one big room.

So, this issue may not even apply to you.

That said, it wouldnt wait to fully recharge.

So, I never was in any danger of it running out of battery.

The only time it did was when it got stuck on something when I wasnt around to rescue it.

However, it wont refill its mop water like the Roborock listed above, and its quite expensive.

I also tested all the features listed in the app, from mapping to different levels of cleaning.
