i5+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum

Our first ever robotic cleaner. Impressed so far and the final straw was having the ability to return to Costco if issues occur or doesn’t clean like I would have though. Looking for hacks or secrets to make it even better.

I have it and it's been great. Can't speak to the future but so far so good. Let me know if you have any questions

Good for me for hardwood, the mop water is consistently dirty which means it's doing a good job. Also no more dirty socks and occasionally sticky floors.

It's louder on carpet but does a good job, would have a hand vac on hand too

Bought this one - returned it after one week. It cleaned well for sure but after roller stuck lots of hairs and after i cleaned them - the sensor won't detect the garbage bag is inserted back, so basically it bricked.

I just got this one and I LOVE it!!

Just got this one it’s pretty good. I had the regular vacuum one and it broke after 8 months and was able to get a refund at Costco

I've had a few robovacs over the years, and I have to say the Roborock Q5 has been my favorite. Great suction power, it's pretty damned good at following maps, and it's low maintenance. I've been using it to clean my upper floor everyday for the last 2 years. Downstairs I have a Roomba i5+ and an M6 mop in my kitchen. The i5+ does a decent job on wood floors, but despite having a camera and the ability to ID objects, it still gets stuck under furniture a few times a week. The mop part of it is decent, but the tank on it is tiny and requires constant refilling. The M6+ does a good job at keeping up the kitchen floor, but again I have to tend to it 3x a week. Roborock is probably the brand you want to go for.

For carpet and dog hair in your price range, look at the Roomba i5+ or the Tp‑link Tapo RV20 Max. Both have strong suction and handle thick carpet better than cheaper bots. The Roomba Q011 is also worth considering if you want something simple and reliable. They all do a better job on carpet than basic models.
