## What reviewers found

### Ecovacs Deebot X12S OmniCyclone

- BGR: Picked up debris well on carpet and hard floors and mopping was strong, though some stubborn stains stayed; first map merged rooms and needed about 15 minutes of editing, and the dock full alert was easy to miss. [Source](https://www.bgr.com/2251627/ecovacs-deebot-x12s-omnicyclone-review/)
- The AU Review (5/5): Three weeks in an apartment with a shedding dog; cleaned hardwood and light rugs thoroughly in under an hour, but got stuck on a sock once. [Source](https://www.theaureview.com/?p=311464)

### Roborock Saros 10

- TechRadar: Good mopping on higher settings and an excellent dock, but patchy obstacle avoidance: it chewed a charging cable and tried to eat a sock.
