This model is able to handle floor cleaning tasks without any assistance, including mopping, sweeping and dusting. Its base station takes slightly more space than other models, with 50cm on either side and 150cm in the front.

It's still a great choice but it also offers plenty of customizability for those looking to get the most of its features.
