iRobot's entry LiDAR Roomba: cleans in neat rows with room targeting, keep-out zones and edge sweeping.
Verdict: A safe, simple Roomba at a budget price. No mopping or self-emptying at this price.
A budget LiDAR-mapping vacuum: 8,000 Pa suction, anti-tangle brushes and multi-floor maps.
Verdict: The best way to get real mapping and room control for about $200. Mopping is basic drag-mopping.
