Hi all,

I have been interested in a robot vac for a while now and I still have about 8-10 months left until I move into a double story house.

I can’t actually wet my floors in the house so I am only after the vacuum side of them and not the mopping.

Based in Australia and my budget isn’t too much of a factor as I don’t mind scouring for sales for the 8-10 months, if anyone has any recommendations on the best robot vac purely for vacuuming that would be much appreciated, thanks!

    This is interesting. Can you expand on why?

    I’m in a similar boat to OP. I’m interested, want something that will integrate with home assistant… IRobot and Roborock are the two obvious names but I hadn’t heard much strongly suggesting one over the other

      I have never owned an iRobot, but my friend does. He sees mine has color maps, LEDs that automatically turn on when it’s in a dark area, has a camera+lidar, which you can use the camera to watch, and has two way audio. If you also search the Roborock forum here for people migrating from iRobot to Roborock, you’ll find similar complaints regarding iRobot, and how they wish they just got Roborock sooner, etc.
