A capable mopper with a full dock for about $500 to $570, but a step back from the original L40 Ultra in obstacle avoidance. Vacuum Wars saw it avoid only 2 of 24 objects and wrap 67% of long hair. Pick it only for tidy homes without long hair; Vacuum Wars itself points pet owners to the L40s Ultra.

A good pick for hard floor homes that care about mopping and hair, since Vacuum Wars measured zero hair wrap and above average stain removal. Its measured suction, carpet sand pickup and coverage per charge trail the cheaper P10 Pro Ultra. Skip it if you have lots of carpet.
