Our Recommendation
Roborock S7 Plus
The S7 is the world's first hybrid vacuum+mop that detects carpet and raises the mop, so that it can vacuum and mop the entire house at the same time.
Other hybrids won't drive on carpet at all when the mop is attached, so hard-floor surrounded by carpet becomes an "island".
It also comes with an auto-empty station, so you only need to empty it approx once a month for the ultimate convenience.

Common questions
Most people actually say their robot cleans better than a traditional vacuum. This is because they usually have a powerful brush and the suction is on the ground (it doesn’t have to go up a hose)!
