roborock S8+ Robot Vacuum

Ok - brief update 6 months now since the purchase: I love that vacuum! Now where I understand most of the app and the abilities of this robot (it took a while, seems I am not the sharpest blade in the cabinet) - I am so impressed.
We use it right now at a house we will move into soon. We are already bringing boxes in, which are sitting on the floor and occasionally some furniture. So the obstacles are constantly changing. The robot is quite excellent in recognizing new items, large or small on its once programmed in map and navigating as much floor as possible while avoiding the new items.
We also have a dog and sometimes already friends over with dogs. The vacuum gets most of the dog hair out of the carpets nicely (can't see much of it even when looking for it, lying on my belly on the floor). Sometimes I have to set it on the high suction setting and then it gets visibly (visible in the dust bin only) a lot more out.
The mop function similarly - after we had guests I set it on the "high" water dispensing. Also nice - I can just set the rooms up with whatever they usually need, like the living room gets the high vacuum setting and the kitchen the high water mop setting. It automatically applies those.
Oh - one more thing - since the documentation said one can not use any cleaning fluids but should only use water - I found the Roborock cleaning fluid which is labeled to work with all Roborock vacuums. And used it - hopefully this won't do any damage. But I do mix sessions with just water in (non chlorinated water, I'd think the regular chlorinated tap water might be more corrosive). So far so good.
Overall - I don't want to live without this vacuum any more :-)
