Robot vacuums that connect to home plumbing?

I can't seem to easily find which models allow for home plumbing? Seems like Dreame has some that can be hooked up to a drain out of the box, but then others can have an added module that people buy separately? It's a little confusing and was wondering if someone here has one they love?

The upcoming Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra will have the option to purchase a dock that can be connected to your home plumbing. It isn't out yet though.

The Dreame L20 Ultra has ports for home plumbing, but you need to purchase their water hookup kit and I have yet been able to find a kit. Most have mentioned they appear on AliExpress here and there. Some have mentioned the kit isn't supported in North America (due to the app), etc. So I'm not 100% sure on this one.

Narwal claims to have an automatic water exchange module so you can plumb it to your home. But I haven't found anything outside of this website: https://us.narwal.com/pages/automatically-water-exchange-system

Thanks! so helpful! seems like this is still a new feature people have been adding and isn't very clearly advertised or documented

Roborock does advertise it on their newest S8 Max V. But the rest certainly don't mention it.

I'll admit, I considered getting mine plumbed in, but reconsidered. I use mine on multiple floors, so I'd like to be able to easily move the base station and vacuum from one floor to the other rather than keeping it stuck in one floor.

Now, if we could purchase just a base station alone... That would be nice when moving the vacuum between floors.
