After cycling through 3 different robot vacuums, the Tikom L9000 is the one that finally stuck. The moment it finished mapping my 1,200 sq ft apartment, I knew this was different - it remembered where my cat's scratching post was and deliberately avoided getting tangled in the frayed edges.

The 4000Pa suction is no joke. I literally watched it inhale an entire Cheerio that had been lodged under my couch for weeks (don't judge). What's wild is how it automatically increases suction when transitioning from hardwood to area rugs - like it's got little vacuum ESP.

Here's the real magic: the mopping function actually works. My kitchen floors went from 'questionable' to 'could eat off them' status. The smart water pump leaves just enough moisture to clean without warping my hardwood. Pro tip: schedule it to vacuum first, then mop - the combo is unstoppable.

After 45 cleaning cycles and nearly 3,000 sq meters cleaned, it's still using the original mop pad. The only maintenance? Emptying the bin daily and occasionally rescuing my hair from the brush roll (long-haired problems). At under $250, this performs like robots costing three times as much.
