Robot vacuum+mop with large wheels recommendations?
Tldr: I have found the Eufy C20 to be the most noisy due to the smaller wheels, Dreame and Mova are less noisy but still too noisy so I'm looking for recommendations for robot vacuums with larger (less noisy) wheels.
I have an apartment under my unit, and I am concerned about the noise these robot vacuums make as they roll on the floors. We can hear the wheels and especially when the robot goes off/on carpets and from tile to tile (we have wide grout lines). The noise of the wheels on grout lines has woken up a family member sleeping in the bedroom upstairs while the robot was running one floor beneath. Nobody is living in the apartment under but we're concerned it will be too noisy once someone moves in. I want to make a decision before the return period expires.
Since I have pets, and I want to avoid getting it clogged or letting dust accumulate in corners it can't reach, I have it run everyday. Takes 1h each floor (yes I have to take it up and down each day, but it's better than manual vacuuming and mopping).
The Eufy is more noisy compared to the Dreame and Mova. The Dreame and the Mova are the same. I figured it's because of the size of the wheels. It makes sense because the smaller wheels have a deeper fall into the grout lines/gaps, making more "colliding" sounds with the tile as they go from tile to tile. This noise travels through the floor whereas the vacuuming noise itself doesn't.
