Fit verdicts by condition for each robot
Condition Roomba Combo j9+ Qrevo Edge 3 Pro
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. GoodIn independent lab testing, it took 18 minutes to clean a 204 sq ft area on the normal cycle, so small homes finish quickly.
1,500 – 3,000 GoodHandles 1,500-3,000 sq. ft. with scheduled multi-session runs. Dock location centers coverage for efficient path optimization. GoodStuff ran combined mop and vacuum cycles of nearly 90 minutes without the battery running out mid-clean.
Over 3,000 DependsOver 3,000 sq. ft. requires split-session runs or advanced scheduling. Separate maps needed for multi-floor homes; adds complexity. DependsRoborock claims about 3,770 sq ft per charge; no independent run across a home this size has been published.
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. GoodIndependent lab testing recorded 94% flour pickup on hard floor, and another reviewer saw an upturned flour bag cleared.
Low / medium pile GoodVacuum suction rated for low-pile carpet. Mop-retract prevents wet-carpet damage on thin carpet; owner reports confirm reliable detection. GoodOne reviewer found fine dust, crumbs and rice lifted from carpet, with pads raised so rugs stayed dry.
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. DependsRated for pile up to 1.18 in; independent lab testing measured 57% flour pickup on carpet and missed a sock there.
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 30 minutes of upkeep a month.
Some upkeepthey differ DependsAbout 115 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. GoodAbout 30 minutes of upkeep a month.
Minimal upkeepthey differ PoorAbout 115 minutes of upkeep a month, which is over an hour. GoodAbout 30 minutes of upkeep a month, and the dock empties the bin.

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.
