Thank you. Funny enough it looks like I've already watched both of those videos last time I was looking into this. I'm comfortable soldering but it was yet another barrier to me actually making a purchase.
I'll check out Dreame, I have not heard much about them.
I've had two Neato's in the past and I really miss having one but I now live in a split-level house and the convenience factor drops down a lot when you have to carry it between floors all the time rather than just coming home to a freshly cleaned carpet.
Roborock, Dreame and Xiaomi are functionally almost identical. Some of them even share the same parts.
If you want to root them, get a Dreame or a Xiaomi. Most of them are rootable without disassembly, see the list linked above.
