## Verdict

A top end pick for homes with high thresholds, mostly hard floors and pets, since the roller mop and 3.46 in climbing set it apart. Reviewers praised its mopping and pet hair handling but noted weak corner and edge cleaning. Skip it if you want the cheapest way to get a self cleaning dock.

## Questions buyers ask

### Can it get over tall door thresholds?

Roborock rates it for double layer thresholds up to 3.46 in. House Digest saw it climb a baby gate, though it landed hard.

### Does it fit under low furniture?

The LiDAR retracts and Roborock lists a 3.54 in robot height, so it fits under furniture with more than that clearance.

### How often do I change the dust bag?

Roborock says up to 65 days per bag. A 6 pack was $25.59 on the Roborock US store on 2026-10-30.
