Hmm, to be fair, I didn't come across a single robot vacuum with a reliable track record, regardless of price. They all have trouble getting themselves stuck on cables lying on the ground(certain laptop charging cables seem to strike the perfect balance of thickness and mobility to get them hopelessly stuck almost every time), bump into obstacles, and get lost in a medium sized residence pretty frequently. The moronic Haier model I tried would even delete its half-scanned floorplan semi-randomly, and each complete scan takes over 4hrs with multiple manual intervention required. Admittedly I wasn't looking very hard but I have to say I'm disappointed about what capabilities an integrated lidar could actually provide.

I've been using the Roborock S5 Max for a while (personal use) and it manages everything pretty well. Proscenic make some good vacuums too. Most Roborocks and Proscenics are more expensive the Tesvor, mind you.
