Indeed, our society has not advanced as far as the world of iRobot, where fully functional animatronic robots are available for in-house chores and support. However, the Roborock Qrevo Edge’s features are quite similar (although without the less-than-ideal flaws of the iRobot robots). This model can literally check off about three chores from the average household to-do list. This robot vacuum and mop can smart-map your home, vacuum and mop the floors, then return to its dock to empty and clean itself. The robot vacuum cleans itself with hot water and dries with warm air to reduce post-cleaning odors, then lives in its docking station until its next use. 

The Roborock Qrevo Edge also has AI obstacle recognition and an industry-first "adaptilift chassis," allowing it to get over doorframe ledges up to 4cm high. The vacuum also comes with voice assistant technology and pet-friendly features, such as video calls for checking on your pets, pet hair pickup, and low noise. It also notes places in your home that accumulate more dirt, so you can be sure to double-check those areas in the future.

The device can map your home all by itself, although you can indicate no-go zones in the corresponding app. A common critique in the device's reviews is that the cost doesn't always match the perceived value. The 43% discount on Amazon this weekend can alleviate some of that dissonance, but it likely won’t last long.
