Roborock vacuums?

Hey guys,

Totally off topic stuff, but I've got a Dyson V11 absolute and am finding its performance somewhat lackluster. Feels like I need to vacuum the flat several times a week to keep it clean.

As a result, we've been considering buying a Roborock automated vacuum. Does anyone have experience with these?

Our flat is about 1200sq feet, with only hard floors (tiles, wood and some linoleum in a bathroom). The one I've been considering is the S8 without any base, in the hopes that it would replace the Dyson for 90+% of use cases.

Can those really replace a traditional vacuum?

Regards,
Alex

I know people with an automated vacuum (Roomba), I assume they are all pretty much the same. From what I heard it does an ok job clearing dust and loose dirt off the floor between cleanings, but you still need a traditional vacuum to really get the floor clean.

Flat smooth floors everywhere. Roomba+Shark and our floors stay clean.
