Great value with proven long-term reliability.	Robust design and firmware updates make it a durable mid-range choice.	Reliable mid-range, but newer firmware updates lag behind top models.	The honest budget floor: self-emptying lidar robot for very little money, with mopping and avoidance that are merely fine.	Good value but lacks suction and navigation depth of higher tiers.	offers unmatched suction power and a robust build, earning top marks from both Reader’s Digest and CNET.	inconsistent navigation and quick brush wear.	Poor navigation and high failure rate make it a poor long-term investment.	Overpriced with minimal gains over the Combo 10 Max.
