Analogues:
You write that "the brand's popularity is quite controversial," but I'd actually argue with that. When I was choosing it, I heard a lot of good reviews about it. I bought it myself and I can see that people weren't lying. It's a good robot. It's very carefully made, everything fits together perfectly, and everything is perfectly aligned. Nothing sticks out or falls off. I won't even mention the cleaning quality. It's no worse than those of iRobots, for example.
I have something to compare it to—my sister has one like this. It's no better than mine.
