2 story house. i've been getting along w/ the roborock on the first floor until now; my wife will love me moving the older one upstairs and the nice one living downstairs since she's been having to mop and sweep the upstairs by hand.

CAD, does your house have any significant thresholds/bumps going from one room to another? We have about a 1 inch threshold from our kitchen to our living room where there's hardwood floors. I'm wanting to get a Roborock or a Dreame, but I'm afraid I'm limited to their higher end models that are rated to climb that high. Just curious if you can report on what your models are able to "climb"

ETA: I've seen a ton of the mid-range models for various brands that are rated up to .75 inches of climb or so. The higher ends can go up to 2+ inches, which is overkill for what I need. Just don't want to spend hundreds more if I don't need to. Wish I could borrow one from somebody and try it before buying.

the roborock does ok although i wouldn't call it 'graceful' by any means it can handle, say, chairs that have a metal bar that runs along the floor for instance and it will find its way over that with a GREAT BIT OF DRAMA and noise.. but we do not have any significant drops/rises between rooms for it to get hung up on but i think it could handle a 1" threshold.

those that climb and have extra brushes in the base soaking in hot water to swap out in the middle of a cleaning job are sweet but i don't have $1,500 to spend on something the wife already doesn't care for.

and i get it..she's a machine and nobody can clean the house like she can so she scoffs at the job the roborock does even though i show her how much shite it picks up every time it goes through a few rooms.

My wife has always hated the Roomba. Even though I only run it when she's not home. Whenever she complains about it, I show her how much shite it picks up off the floor in a single day, and tell her she's just jealous because the Roomba does a better job than her. For some reason she still doesn't appreciate it.

I ordered the Roborock Q10 X5+. Spent the past couple of days reading reviews and watching youtube videos about it, and it seems to be one of the top budget options. Should get it tomorrow. I'll update once I have it set up and let it run a few times.
