These Robot floor cleaners are very tempting. My entire house is flooring. No carpet. Are the mopping modes good? If you run it daily do you still have to mop the high traffic areas a few times a week? What happens if there is clutter on your floors? Do you love or hate yours and would you recommend it?

I like mine.
It does a decent job with the nightly sweeping and mopping.
We can't really use it as a substitute to clean high traffic areas, corners, and where it gets super dirty and before and after Shabbos.
But for a nightly decent sweep and mop it does a decent job and the house looks clean in the morning.
Regarding clutter, it's an incentive to declutter so the robot can clean, because it can't really do so with lots of clutter.

Does this sweep or wash the floors? Is it good for wood parquet flooring?

Roborock is amazing! It's the same as a light sweeping or mopping, but it gets corners I never would on a daily basis. I run it daily, and every time I do I thank G-d that that's another pile of stuff we don't have to breathe in.

I have the deebot from ecovacs, and it does a great job vacuuming and a superficial job with the mopping. Decluttering the floor is important if you want it to get the job done without getting stuck on cords or toys.

This was my Covid-without-cleaning-help splurge and I am really happy with it.

I recently got a roborock s6 and love it. It's eh at mopping, but the vacuum is good and I run it daily on a timer. Used to spend much more time sweeping.

How bad is the mopping. My high traffic floors are pretty dark and the cleaning lady would still mop once or twice a week. If there is a cup or a toy on the floor how would that throw it off. Does the mopping feature clean floor moldings at all and how is it with corners

I have the iRobot Roomba vacuum and love it. I pick up anything I don't want it its path and it does a better job than I can do.
I tried the iRobot mop and it was not good. I returned it.
I've never tried the combination Roborock.

Do any of you use it without WiFi?
How long have you had it?

I used mine for a while without the app too.
We have it for 1 year.

I heard roborock is best.

I have a cheaper older model irobot. If it's set to vacuum every day, then all in all my floors are clean. I don't have little kids. We have noticed our home feels cleaner since we use it. It's hard to explain but a one time job doesn't clear the floors completely but if used overall each day it's fantastic.
