- ✅ Flagship robot vacuums must properly perform the AI obstacle avoidance function promised in advertisements.

- ✅ The value of a flagship is that it avoids obstacles on its own to a certain extent, even if the floor is not cleaned up.
- ✅ The price of 1.7 million won reflects these expectations.

4. 🚧 S9 MaxV Ultra Obstacle Avoidance Test: Still Some Disappointments
- ✅ The test was conducted by laying down the same wires and colored paper that stopped the S8, on the S9 as well.
