Fit verdicts by condition for each robot
Condition Roomba Combo j9+ Roborock Qrevo Edge 2
Home size
Under 1,500 sqft GoodRuntime covers typical 1,000-1,500 sq. ft. in one session; single-tank water coverage sufficient for mopping. GoodIndependent lab testing estimated about 1,208 sq ft per charge, enough for a home this size in one run.
1,500 – 3,000 GoodHandles 1,500-3,000 sq. ft. with scheduled multi-session runs. Dock location centers coverage for efficient path optimization. GoodRecharge and resume plus efficient navigation let it finish larger homes, per independent lab testing.
Over 3,000 DependsOver 3,000 sq. ft. requires split-session runs or advanced scheduling. Separate maps needed for multi-floor homes; adds complexity. DependsThe 240 mL bin can overflow before docking, and battery endurance tested below average.
Primary floors
Hard floors GoodVacuum and mop both perform well on bare wood and tile. Obstacle avoidance works reliably on hard floors; no carpet-retract needed. GoodA hands-on review found oatmeal, rice and coffee beans cleared from hard floors in one run.
Low / medium pile GoodVacuum suction rated for low-pile carpet. Mop-retract prevents wet-carpet damage on thin carpet; owner reports confirm reliable detection. GoodIndependent lab testing measured 94% embedded sand removal from medium-pile carpet, one of its highest results.
High pile / shagthey differ PoorSuction loss documented on shag and high-pile carpet. Mop-retract detection fails on deep pile; wet-carpet risk even with auto-retract enabled. DependsA hands-on review found a fluffy high-pile rug hard for it to clean and to drive across.
Mopping needs
Vacuum only GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed.
Light mopping GoodFlat mop pad handles light, routine wiping of hard floors. GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily.
Frequent moppingthey differ DependsA dragged pad freshens floors but lacks the pressure or scrubbing for heavy, frequent mopping. GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping.
Upkeep you accept
Regular upkeep GoodAbout 115 minutes of upkeep a month. GoodAbout 40 minutes of upkeep a month.
Some upkeepthey differ DependsAbout 115 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. GoodAbout 40 minutes of upkeep a month.
Minimal upkeepthey differ PoorAbout 115 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. DependsAbout 40 minutes of upkeep a month. Minimal is 30 or less.

A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
