The one on the left in the pictures is the generic one, while the right is the original one that was already installed in the dust bin when I opened it. The dust bin pictured has the generic one installed.

Tl;dr: I would recommend this vacuum.
This is my first robot vacuum, and I have been very impressed and happy so far. It does a great job on my hardwood floors with vacuuming, each time it manages to find plenty of dirt and dust that make me realize I was not cleaning nearly enough before. Like another comment mentions, mopping is a joke. They should just call it wet dusting, because it's just a pad that sits in the back of the bot, and it goes forward 3', backwards 1' at a slight swivel, and then repeats that process around the room. Stains are still left on the floor after it goes over it.
The auto-empty feature is really what sold me on it though after using both it and the Wyze. My floor is about 500sq ft and I have one cat, one wife, and a one year old. Even with a daily cleaning, I think I would be emptying the Wyze every third time whereas this just dumps it's junk into the container in the charge station.
I have a large rug that's about 1/2" tall, and it's able to get up on it no problem. I also like that when it senses it's on my rugs, it ramps up to higher suction power compared to the hardwood.
The mapping is amazing, and super accurate. Within the app you can designate rooms and no go zones. The no go zones can be for either no mopping (rugs/carpet) or just total no go (no vacuum or mop). You can designate the rooms as a 1x or 2x clean as well, where it will redo the room again after finishing. Along with the mapping, the logic for cleaning I find is better that Wyze. When it encounters a chair leg, it's much smarter and more intentional about how it will clean a circle around it and the path it takes after.
The areas where I have concerns and I think why you end up getting what you pay for is with the support, app, and availability of parts. I have been unable to find replacement bags for the container anywhere but from iHome directly ($20 for 3 plus shipping). The iOS app has a pretty major flaw where I cannot set a custom schedule, the only ones that work are their premade ones (all days, weekdays, weekends). I messaged support and they said they are aware of the issue but there hasn't been an update to the app in the 3-4 weeks I've owned it. I also asked about support for multi-floor maps and they have no intention to support it. The app itself is responsive though, I can go from a dead close to running a new cleaning in 5ish seconds.
When I first got it I explored running it on my carpeted floors and it did a good job there as well. It actually was able to go over the shag rugs in my bathroom without getting stuck. The roller also didn't get completely full of hair like the Wyze did; this could be good or bad if it wasn't actually able to pick up the hair?

Some quick notes: the vacuum is pretty loud for a robot vacuum, the suction power is pretty good (but don't expect it to do heavy-duty vacuuming to remove more heavy soiling, it's more about maintaining a dirt/dust free floor on the surface), the floor mapping is really accurate and it does a great job with coverage, the app works just fine, and the self-emptying into the docking station is a great feature. Overall, I am satisfied for the price.

Yeah it does leave some water behind at default setting, but I usually adjust the water setting to 25% on laminates, 50% on tile, increase brush speed to 100%, and slow the travel speed down to 50% so it has more time to suck the water back up.
Alternatively, you can run at 100% speed and just schedule an additional drying mode to suck up the excess water. I find that the amount of water left is so little that it already evaporated by the time it starts the drying mode, so I skip this step.
Interestingly enough, the N8+ review that he does, he has what I can only hope is fake dog poop. He states that it does a good job of avoiding "stepping in it".
I think the N8+ doesn't have the self-emptying portion to it (as opposed to the N8+ Pro), so you need to make sure to compare the same models. I paid $560 for it on Amazon. It went for about $40 off a few weeks ago. So far it does good. I will find one or two pieces of trash up against the wall, but this was after I unpacked a lot of boxes, so otherwise it did a good job.
Only complaint though. Going to try brushing my dog better

Not sure if I'd buy a w450 at the current ~$300 price. Will keep an eye out on this in the future though!

Anyway, the iHome is coming tomorrow, so I will find out myself. Looks like at least the app, iHome's mapping and navigation seem stronger than T8+ from the reviews. And at almost half price, it's worth checking out.
