I have 1 of these I got back in March on a previous SD for downstairs (tile) and another I got recently for upstairs (carpet). These replaced 2 Roborock S5's I've had for several years. The auto-empty is a big time saver for me because I have a German Shepherd who sheds all year long and I don't have to empty it often. I recently started using some generic bags I got off Amazon for close to $1/piece and they are working out well. I also buy the generic side brushes and filters.
I had an issue initially with the long hair from my dog not being sucked out of the bin on the robot. I found a fix on Reddit where you tape up one of the 2 holes in the removable bin on the robot. After that it worked like a champ for me. The mopping is no better than I had on the Roborock S50, because it's just a pad it drags around.
That's about 3-4x more :p
I had this and returned it, personally waiting for a roborock clean/dirty mopping reservoir option in the ~$600 range; while this has "AI" it still sucked up socks and got caught on a bunch of cables and rug ends. Bumps the shit out of everything and will get itself stuck into situations it can't get out of like a drunk. The dirt reservoir is solid but this requires bags. I think a shark or something cheaper might be better.

We bought this in Nov 2020 and it's been helpful but not perfect. The reason is that we have a golden retriever and with his shedding it won't fully remove the collected hair from the collection bin - what's key is to run it daily to manage this issue. We also need to get the poor boy groomed more often!
The app had issues with mapping but they seemed to have fixed it. We replaced the roller once from an Amazon generic one and it had problems - the key was to buy the OEM replacement rollers. For the bags, you can get them from Aliexpress in bulk for much less but you just have to wait 4-6 weeks for them to arrive. There' weekly maintenance on cleaning the brush and removing it to remove the hair that collects on the outside axles.
I'd buy it again and this is a good price compared to what I paid two years ago at Best Buy for $485 all-in.
There really is no good mopping bot with smart features. The mopping on this is not great, but it's about as good as it gets. I recommend putting a disposable pad on the mopping plate along with the reusable to make it thicker so you get better contact with the floor.
Also note, the picture shows a N8 Pro+ with additional sensors on the bumper (fourth photo). The N8+ doesn't have those. This is a walmart error with the listing.
I have this. The most annoying thing about it is that sometimes it loses its map memory and can't locate. The solution is to remove the new map it creates and put it back on the dock. I never use the mopping feature because there's a rug in between where it's docked and the reset of the downstairs. It literally will not go over the rug with the mopping feature enabled, so it's pointless.
I got one of these on black friday for 299, I love it! I run it daily. I don't know about the mopping cause I don't use it, but the vacuum is great. I have pitty (so, short hair) and it does a good job on my low carpet of keeping it clean. Plus, it leaves tracks showing where it vacuumed and that's just satisfying to see lol.
The mopping capability of any combo robot vac/mop is fair at best. I am holding out for a reasonably priced dedicated robot mop. I may be waiting awhile, but the Botslab M20 robot mop looks promising if it ever sees the light of day (crowdfunding via Indiegogo so you never know)

There seems to be a lot of deals on these robot vacuums recently. But this is the first one I've seen for a mop unit. How well does it work on hardwood floors ? Does it work at all on carpet ? Does it dispense any solution ? Overall, how well does it deep clean ? I saw one negative review on Walmart's site about it marking hardwood floors. I have a wyze and a eufy from a recent deal. I like the wyze more as it's efficient and picks up more dirt than the eufy. But eufy can get into smaller spaces and is more quiet. Will probably return the eufy but I'm looking for a mop unit now. So curious how well these work
I literally just purchased a debit ozmo t8 aivi+ from Costco for $300, haven't took it out of the box yet. Not sure which vacuum is the better option though

How long has the campaign been going ? Any kind of tentative release date or price ? I can imagine the pads getting really expensive as well as grungy
I have one of these sitting brand new I got from best buy. It's still sealed and unopened. I got it less than two months ago. Will ship to anyone for $200 total. You can pay via PayPal invoice so you are protected if I don't ship it (or any other payment method of your choice). I will also provide you the original receipt in case you need to make a warranty claim within the next 10 months of the remaining warranty but these things are built well.

If I recall correctly from purchase last year , T8 has larger battery so if you have a larger floor plan, stick with T8. Suction is comparable. Auto empty stations and mopping are identical. Some have bought oscillating mop attachment add-on but mopping is still not amazing. Buy it for the vacuum, mop is an extra.
Read some reviews where folks preferred T8+ (LiDAR) vs T8 AIVI for object detection. N8+ is also LiDAR.
I'd also add that the T8 series is the only one that allows for the OMZO pro mopping attachment that oscillates, the N8 doesn't have the motor attachment that will allow for oscillation, just mops by dragging the wet pad around.
With that said, from reviews it doesn't look to make a massive difference. It's still not going to mop up hard set in drips or stains and more for general upkeep cleaning.
