All hard floors. One floor is slate so a bit uneven.

In my opinion after researching some of them I found that they are generally not brilliant in corners which makes sense when they are circular, if you want a vac/mop combined you’ve got to faff around changing the chambers from dry to a water one or spend big money, some have boundary strips but some have mapping, but again a lot of reviews say that some of the cheaper ones don’t know where they have been and just go round in circles until you pick it up and move it. I found them a false economy when I would have still mop & vacuum corners. Maybe they are getting better but some of them are silly money.
I saw one that won best vac/mop and it’s £849 on Amazon!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09NPJZSJJ/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?pd_rd_i=B09NPJZSJJ&pd_rd_w=y1pBB&content-id=amzn1.sym.8d91a06c-52c8-441e-afa4-963e53268566&pf_rd_p=8d91a06c-52c8-441e-afa4-963e53268566&pf_rd_r=FME3F3PEDW9S18KKHVNB&pd_rd_wg=yFr8a&pd_rd_r=8472abc3-381f-48cd-967d-db7fcef0cfef&s=kitchen&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw&th=1I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

I have a cheap generic one from Amazon and the vacuum function is OK, but the "mop" is a bit feeble. I find I rarely use it now as it's such a faff to make sure it has clearance around table and chair legs and to remove rugs and cables that it tries to chew up! It is good at getting under beds and sofas to collect dust bunnies. It doesn't map, but it follows a pattern that means the coverage is quite good.My son has a proper Roomba that maps, sends pictures of obstructions to his phone and empties itself, but it was very expensive."Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.1
