And it's a vacuum, you worry on Chinese people knowing the map and layout of your house and how frequent you use the vacuum? Same thing will happen if this products is made in the US, US companies will also track the same data.
The discounted pricing is basically the same as past deals we have seen here. It's a shame, i was waiting to see the S7 MaxV Ultra, but it's still very pricey.

Lol at security concern. I don't care someone knows my floor layout or pictures of furnitures. Let me know how we can monetize that info.
What's to stop them from recording audio or video at any time?

1. Dreame L10S Ultra - The best overall right now. The only reported problem with it requires a bit of a one time manual fix to ensure the clean water gets to the mops. Other downside is proprietary cleaning solution that you'll need to keep buying for the mop - but some view this is a positive so you don't have cleaning solution sitting in the clean water tank. Other complaints are that it's only offered in white so it looks stained/dirty after a few runs.
2. Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra - Main problems with this unit are (1) it does not have a built in mop dryer, so most folks report the dock station getting smelly (and unhygienic), BUT you can buy an add-on one for another $80. I imagine the next model will definitely have this built in. (2) The mopping mechanism is very effective, but the engineering of it is such that it will fail much earlier in it's lifecycle than the mop types that you see in the Dreame or X1 below. I don't like the idea of having to replace the $1k+ robot in 2 years. That's mostly "engineer" design opinions though, because it hasn't been out long enough for real world reports on whether or not it holds up over time.
3. Deebot Omni X1 - Terrible app, bad reputation for the company. Ridiculous that you have to manually remove or put on the mops since it doesn't lift on its own for carpets. Doesn't clean nearly as well as those listed above in direct comparison tests. I do think it's one of the better looking units though and was the first to heat dry mops.
4. Narwal Freo - Newest release so less info out there, but a lot of reviewers said it leaves something to be desired in terms of ability to actually clean, which is really the most important thing here. The Pa of suction is also notably much worse than the others. The deal breaker for this one is that it doesn't automatically empty it's vacuum cleaning bin, it only does the dirty water automatically.
This is all based on my personal opinions from fanatical research going through countless product reviews, consumer complaints on Reddit, and direct comparison tests on YouTube. As well as specs/functionality that I think is important. I really think you can't go wrong with either of the top 2 if you're aware of the shortcomings. Most people that have these are extremely happy with their purchase.
What am I doing? I'm actually waiting for the Dreame X10 Ultra that will come out in 2023. Has automated mop removal functionality that I think is a game changer and it's gray. Fingers crossed it will allow you to use whatever cleaning solution you want in the tank too. There's some reviews already out there from conventions where they demonstrated it.
I hate being impatient as I am though lol...

I appreciate your feedback as there seems to be areas of improvement in each. I picked up the x1 Omni from Best Buy yesterday. This thing looked bad ass and my wife said she doesn't mind it being in the living room as it's not "industrial" however the mopping on it seems to absolutely suck. I have all hardwood floors with a few high pile carpets. It will avoid those like the plague.
Another note on the x1 is I have very small transition strips from room to room (hardwood) no bigger then 2mm thick or so. The x1 tends to get stuck on these & struggles to go over them each time which I found surprising.
The deebots/s7 video/roaming feature is interesting for me as I have many home security concerns and large dogs. However the ecovacs app roaming is a joke. It's clunky, the video is grainy and it's almost unusable.
I ordered the S7MaxV Ultra from Amazon, while the robot seems great the dock is my concern, the reviews I on YouTube did question is long term usability due to the many moving parts. We'll see how it goes, but I was toying with the idea of getting just the S7MaxV alone on this sale and waiting for a next gen dock but who knows how long that will take.
The dreame looks good, but the only retailer I can find with a BF sale is Amazon and it's currently at 1100 on sale, which seems a tad high compared to the others. I can't find very much info on it, but I'd like to get feedback on the app also.
The only robots I've used are ECOVACS & IRobot so I'm open for anything.

Also, while I think the automatic solution mixing is a feature that's a plus, you don't have use it. You can mix your cleaner if needed. As for color, I've found the opposite. White doesn't show dust like the gloss black machines. With my old Roborock, I needed to wipe it down after each cleaning. The white can go a week without wiping down.

What is to stop Xiaomi? How about selling 15,000,000+ expensive vaccums each year? I don't have a problem with Xiaomi or other Chinese companies, even if my government did. They make cool products. What is so exciting about my life, anyway? If they manage to get nude pictures of me, the joke is on them.
S7 Max Ultra is top of the line, best of the best, and in my book tech product of the year 2022. Don't knock it until you try it.
the point is very simple. the best time to get an electric car is not when only Tesla is making them, but when everyone is making them (significant technology improvement, much lower risk, and better price due to competition). that is unless you like novelty and risks . . .

With a car, it's point it to get one from point A to point B. One can buy any type of engine or motor to accomplish that.
What's the alternative to a robot vacuum? Doing it oneself? A cleaning service? Both alternatives are much more expensive for a lot of people. They're at a point now that saves people time and, at least indirectly, money.

While it definitely slows things down, the fact that the Dreame goes back to the dock to clean the mop heads and refill the bots water bin periodically means you'll end up with less dirty water dragging.
- This guy
for example, my space is very simple and relatively clean, I do not need the wifi, apps, map, self-empty . . . so I can get a < $100 vac and it will do a great job. if I had pets, sensitive furniture, exclusion zones, tall carpet . . . i would look at vacuums that can to that job.
so the answer is simple, the best vacuum is the one that cost the lowest and yet gets the job done . . . . everything on top of that is not a "need" it's a "want".

In my post I am referring to the newer better version of the Nova... The Ihome Nova Pro currently on sale at walmart for $285 which is normally around $400 is a complete improvement on the Nova and even upgraded the mopping to agitation. Suction improved to 2700 from 2100 too, still has LIDAR. Has the hard plastic base and self empty base which means you can set it down on carpet, all that for $285 and thats not counting the rebate site which lowers the price even more.
If they fixed the mopping experience issues I experienced its the best deal in smart home vacs.
