I actually do remember about this concern and you are right. It can be a problem in some pump designs (don’t remember which ones). I’m assuming the ones in these vacuums would be able to deal with it because it’s designed to run when there is no water left in the tank as well, but no way to be certain I guess. I have been putting the drop of liquid soap every now and then and things are working normally is all I can say.
Planning to buy one & came across this thread. Leaning towards option 1 from below list. If anyone have used the first one & can give firsthand review, would really be helpful or any other suggestions. TIA.
Here are the options I’m considering (solely based on third party reviews on this websites):

Hey there! Based on your requirements and budget of around 25K, I’d suggest looking for a model with Lidar navigation—it really helps with precise mapping and efficient cleaning. Having a good Android app for remote control and scheduling is super handy too. You’ll want something with over 2000Pa suction power for thorough cleaning, and make sure the filters are easy to clean and the mop is reusable.
I’ve heard good things about the Ecovacs Deebot U2 Pro—it’s got decent vacuuming and mopping capabilities. Roborock E4 is another solid option with strong cleaning performance and a user-friendly app. For a more budget-friendly choice, iLife V7s Pro offers a good balance of vacuuming and mopping.
I get why you’re hesitant about Xiaomi and Viomi, so these alternatives might suit you better.
I started reading reviews for EVOVACS Deebot U2 Pro & also use Fakespot Analyser to check for fake reviews. It’s amazon listing has D rating reviews which means many reviews are fake. Even while reading the reviews, all reviews kept mentioning the person with name in their reviews who helped them setup the whole thing which looks quite fake. I can’t seem to find any trusted seller selling Roborock E4. Any other suggestions in <30k would be great.
I would advise against iLife.
It is similar to LifeLong brand, who just imitate other implementations.
Which one did you end up buying?
Didn’t buy any1 as moved to another city.
