A lidar sensor is responsible for navigation. The robot is controlled via the Xiaomi ecosystem's proprietary mobile app, which offers a wide range of functions and settings. The robot vacuum cleaner has good maneuverability. Its spacious dust bin and water tank are also noteworthy. Overall, the robot vacuum cleaner is well-designed and the build quality is high. The only caveat is that, like most robot vacuum cleaners, this model detects deep black surfaces, as well as elevation changes. Regardless, the advantage is far greater, so this model definitely deserves attention and can be considered one of the best robot vacuum cleaners priced around $400-$500 in 2022.

Roborock Q7 Max

For those who are looking for a high-quality, yet inexpensive robotic vacuum cleaner with self-cleaning, I recommend taking a closer look at the new Roborock Q7 Max+At around $320, this device is deservedly considered one of the best, but it's not in the price range we're considering. Therefore, you can initially order the version without a docking station, with a standard charging base—the Roborock Q7 Max—for $220. Then, you can upgrade to the docking station later if needed. That would be the smart decision.

It features advanced lidar-based navigation, which allows the proprietary app to offer a wide range of features. The motor is very powerful, with suction power on par with the Dreame. The central brush is made of silicone, making it easy to clean away tangled hair and fur. It's also worth noting that the brush can be removed from both ends. Furthermore, the robot vacuum cleaner can not only vacuum but also mop the floor. It does both simultaneously. So, the Roborock Q7 Max is a powerful robot vacuum with optional self-cleaning and wet mopping, effectively cleaning not only carpets but also picking up hair and fur from floors. Definitely a top-notch product for the price.

The cleaning process is controlled and monitored via a proprietary mobile app. Lidar is used for navigation. Both dry and wet cleaning are available, with the robot capable of simultaneously vacuuming and mopping, as well as moving in a Y-pattern when mopping. Suction power is slightly above average. Dry cleaning performance on hard surfaces, as well as wet cleaning, is quite high.

The Genio Laser L700 can easily overcome 2 cm thresholds, but it has some issues recognizing deep black surfaces due to height differences. Importantly, Genio is officially represented on the market and provides a full warranty for its products. Therefore, for those who value after-sales support from the brand, I recommend considering this option.

    The Okami T90 has a 0.7-liter dust bin capacity—nominally, but half the space is actually taken up by the strange pre-filter design, which they call "3D." The suction power of 3000 Pa is questionable, as the Xiaomi Robarock, for example, claims 2000 Pa and is clearly more powerful.
