I already own a Roborock Qrevo and I’m looking to buy a robot vacuum for my parents.

Their flat is small (around 50 sqm) but the floor layout is tricky: mix of carpets, tiles, and wood and
very short transitions.

Example: you enter the flat → carpet, then less than 1 meter later tiles, then 20 cm later carpet again, several carpet sections throughout the house.

Because of that, I’m worried less about suction and more about: carpet detection, mopping without wetting carpets, frequent switching between floor types, not getting confused in small mixed areas.

Would really appreciate real-world experience rather than spec sheets :D

I’ve been working for this company for a year and a half. I’m in product management, female, 30s. The company is relatively small, but it’s been bought by a massive insurance company.

Our team consists of a few product people and a few sales people, in total about 10. Last year, they went on a team building to Mallorca. At first I agreed to join, because when they asked me about it I was still in my trial period. Then they reserved the hotels without telling me and asked me to pay for it (because they don’t have the budget for team buildings), and I was angry but I bit the bullet. Then they started reserving activities such as jet skiing and clubbing, I was the only woman in the team back then and I kinda got scared of the frat-like attitudes so I came up with an excuse and didn’t go in the end.

This year, a female intern who they decided last moment they’re not gonna keep anymore is organizing the team building. She is very angry at the company and says she can’t wait for her contract to finish (because they’re not keeping her), but she just sent me a questionnaire asking what weekend would be best for me for the team building, and that she will announce the location and activities later.

Yeah, no, I’m not going and paying for it. I have the option to choose “not able to participate”, but questions are going to come and it’s uncomfortable.

I perform well and got the maximum bonus last year, lots of praise yada yada, I do so much for work but a paid team building during my weekend is too much. I’m bad at setting boundaries and don’t know how to handle this.

I had a phone call with the neurologist (I always get a new one every year when I need to renew my Sumatriptan prescription) and my hope was that we explore something else other than Sumatriptan, because March has been awful for me and even now I’ve been having more than 4 attacks a month, especially when I’m in the office and don’t work from home (which is every other day). I’m 31F living in Switzerland.

He told me about some preventatives, but told me that they might lower my blood pressure (which is already low) and make me lose weight (I’m already skinny), and he seemed very skeptical about them (he was talking about some antidepressants and something else, I don’t remember the class). He also mentioned the newer Emgality etc, but said that they’re expensive and have to be approved by the insurance, which can be a bit more difficult.

Eventually, he gave me a prescription for Riboflavin and magnesium (tried it in the past, trying it now again, I don’t see any difference so far) and I pushed to at least try a new triptan (he started looking up other triptans and prescribed eletriptan, it works well, even faster than Sumatriptan, but I don’t see a difference in the frequency).

I was venting about it and my boyfriend got upset I didn’t explicitly ask for a preventative and didn’t wanna try one yet and that upset me even more lol. I feel like every neuro I talk to is skeptical about them or think I’m not in a situation bad enough to really try them, but then I see how much I suffer every time I get a migraine in the office, and how often I sometimes take triptans.

I can call the neuro anytime and he is ready to give me anything, it’s just that I don’t know what to tell him because nothing convinced me.
