This.

I see lots of ppl recommending the roomba. Looking at the Roborock which seems to do so much more. (Yes pricier). I think I would get a vacuum and something to wash floors more easily. Any opinions between the 2?

I agree. I have someone 2 hours a week and it keeps me sane. She does the bathrooms and kitchen. It also forces me keep the house neat enough for her to come to every week.

An alternative to the Roomba is a Sweepovac — a built-in electric dustpan. I am putting one into the side of a a base cabinet in my own kitchen when I remodel in a few months. It does need an electric outlet.

I had both and the roborock is much better. It's smarter and doesn't bump into things whereas the roomba did. The roomba got stuck a lot too.

The Roomba is great but just a vacuum. It's priced very well. Their separate mop isn't good.
Those who want a combo piece go with the Roborock.
