Summary
18,000Pa of suction makes it one of the most powerful robot vacuums tested by PCMag, and it vacuumed pet hair without tangles in real-home testing with shedding cats and dogs. Full self-maintenance dock handles emptying, mopping, and refilling.
Twin rubber brushrolls deliver best-in-class pet hair pickup on carpets. RTINGS named it the top robot vacuum for pet hair after testing 85+ models, and it combines elite vacuuming with strong mopping.
Pros
- 18,000Pa suction — among the highest tested by PCMag
- Vacuumed pet hair without tangles in live testing with cats and dogs
- Full self-maintenance: empties dustbin, washes and dries mop, refills water tank
- Effective roller mop for simultaneous vacuuming and mopping
- Twin rubber brushrolls significantly outperform single brushroll designs for embedded pet hair
- Excellent mopping performance alongside top-tier vacuuming
- Self-emptying, self-washing, and self-refilling dock for hands-off maintenance
- Top-ranked by RTINGS after testing 85+ robot vacuums
Cons
- High price comparable to other flagship models
- Large base station required
- Overkill for homes with mostly hard floors and light shedding
- Premium price puts it out of reach for budget shoppers
- Obstacle avoidance is not as advanced as newer models like the Roborock Saros Z70
- Large dock footprint requires dedicated floor space
Our take
PCMag's top pick after a decade of testing robot vacuums in real homes with actual pets — that kind of real-world validation is hard to argue with.
If you have pets and carpets, this is the one to get. The dual rubber brushroll design is a genuine engineering advantage over single-brushroll competitors — it's not marketing fluff.
