Open Floor Plans	Fair	Lacks directional strategy
Many Small Rooms	Poor (map confusion likely)	Boundary transitions difficult
Cluttered Spaces	Poor (high stuck risk)	Requires extensive pre-cleaning
Robot-Proofing Needed	Extensive	Cords, rugs, tight spaces must be managed

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT

M80 Pro vs. 2025 Budget Competitors

The M80 Pro (2017) vs. modern entry-level models shows significant feature degradation:

Feature	M80 Pro (2017)	MOVA S10 (~$180)	Tapo RV30 Max (~$300)
Suction Power	500 Pa	7,000 Pa	5,200 Pa
Navigation	Basic sensors	LiDAR mapping	LiDAR mapping
Mapping Capability	None	Multi-level maps	Multi-floor support
Virtual Barriers	No	Yes	Yes
Mopping	Basic (manual)	Auto lift on carpet	Spinning pads
Battery	3000 mAh	Modern Li-ion	2600 mAh
Runtime	110 min	Comparable	150+ min
Auto-Empty	No	No	No
App Features	Basic scheduling	Advanced zoning	Advanced zoning
Price (2025 equiv)	$229 (2017)	$180	$299

Key Takeaway: The M80 Pro’s 500 Pa suction is 14x weaker than modern budget options. The lack of mapping creates inefficient coverage and frequent getting-stuck scenarios that modern competitors have essentially eliminated.

Who Should (NOT) Buy the M80 Pro

Potential Use Cases:

• Existing owners seeking replacement parts (limited options)
• Hard-floor-only homes without pets (where low suction is less critical)
• Very small apartments (<400 sq ft) where runtime suffices
• Budget-conscious buyers willing to accept manual intervention

Who Should Avoid:

• Pet owners (carpet pet hair performance is poor)
• Multi-room homes (no mapping = inefficiency)
• Carpet-heavy households (insufficient suction)
• Users seeking reliability (2+ year failure rates are concerning)
• Anyone wanting mopping quality (manual mop attachment, no automation)
• Smart home enthusiasts (limited automation compared to 2025 models)
