Roborock - Q10 S5+

Hey guys A quick update for those who are waiting. So I ended up buying q10v+ from jb HiFi for 662. Here are my initial thoughts, of course based on comparison with dreame d10s plus. Quality: quality is sturdy, how a few nooks here and there definitely yells out budget vacuum. For example, for the base of the system is a sticky plastic to prevent mop from leaking water. Compared to dreme, definitely dreame gets the points. Map: ok so this was new to me. Dreame used camera and lidar. Whilst mapping it went to every corner of the room to get the map working. I was tad bit surprised with roborock as it only went not even half way, but got the mapping pretty spot on. Though I would have to redo but boy was I wrong. Point roborock. Initial setup: dreame was pretty darn seamless with initial setup, however, roborock struggled a bit. We eventually got their but took us a few tries. Point dreame. App: hands down roborock. So many more options, quick and snappy. Point roborock. Overall vacuum performance: boy roborock really shows it's 10000 pa as compared to dreame 5500. Did notice it vacuumed my living area and kitchen twice even though I had to vacuum once. Seems like roborock was intelligent enough to not be happy with the first attempt. Point roborock. Battery: this one is a tough one, roborock went from 100 to 29 whilst vacuuming my living area and kitchen, where dreame used to average around 60 percent. That could also come down to higher power and having a few gos. Mop: I hated my dreame for it's mop performance. Broke down twice. Roborock also has somewhat similar mop pad but with added pressure and vibration it gets the job done. Point roborock. Overall: hands down roborock. The performance of the vacuum was so much better. Though dreame used to follow a similar pattern, it tend to miss a few craves, roborock really outshined. Quality wise I would still say dreame was better quality vacuum and base, but don't be fooled by roborocks budget tag. It's performance is far superior. Also, some might find the comparison a bit counterproductive as I am comparing a 2023 model with 2025. But for the price, this little vacuum is a must have. Thank you all.

I bought the Roborock Q10 S5 during the Amazon Prime sales, 230$ before tax. It’s my first robot vacuum and I’ve be running it for less than a week and I love it. No more pet hairs, litter or pet food on the ground. I’ve used the mop function which is vibrating on this model and it’s good. I can’t speak of its performance against other robots tho. It doesn’t have a self emptying base and you need to manually wet the mop before use if you want to use it (it has a little tank of water but not enough to initially wet the entire mop) but I don’t mind for the price.

20%Notes: this is a placeholder so you can bookmark. I'll begin filling this in as prices come off embargo. For a list of every single prime day deal, [go here](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1ljl8wd/prime_day_deals/). These are not the cheapest robots in each band, these are my recommendations based on the final Prime Day prices. Some prices do not fall off embargo until 7/8 (Prime Day) so you may not see them until then. I will be incredibly busy during Prime Week, so may not be able to answer comments. I haven't tested every vacuum on the market, but I've tested a lot of them. Not offended if you have a differing opinion and voice that, my opinions are based on real world testing in my home, which I write about on Lifehacker. The links below will be affiliate links, you don't have to use them, but it is appreciated. # Best vacuum under $100 Controversial opinion, but I don't believe there is a best under $100. Infact, robots worth the investment under $700 are rare, as I explain in [this post.](https://www.whatrobotvacuumshouldiget.com/2025/06/20/are-budget-robot-vacuums-worth-buying/) So these robots should be viewed as tech toys you're playing around with, rather than cleaning tools that will make your life easier. Buy whatever strikes your fancy, it's unlikely to be useful as a robovac, but might be a worthy cat toy. # Best vacuum under $300 People just don't talk about the Switchbots enough in here, and I wish I knew why. Aside from having a kick ass brand identity (chonky robots that bridge a technology gap for people), they are affordable and work better than most tech products out there. I'm a huge fan of their smart home sensors and the SwitchBot button. When I got the [K10+](https://lifehacker.com/tech/switchbot-k10-plus-robot-vacuum-review) to test about 18 months ago, I was just tickled. First, it's tiny. It's like an M&M roaming your floor. At 8 inches, it cuts a tight radius around your chair legs, and can get into tiny spaces. There's no advanced tech on here, it just does a bangup job vacuuming, and then returning to its humbly small self emptying dock. Sure, there is a "mop", kinda sorta... but its just a swiffer situation, and it sucks. Ignore it (easy to do). This is a vacuum, and can more confidently manage carpet (under your bed, too!) better than most I've tried. Sure, you'll have to unclog it occasionally, but that's what you get at this price. The pro took the suction from 2500Pa to 3000Pa, which doesn't seem like much, but I can go on for hours on a nerdy rant about how much suction doesn't really matter. Whichever you get, this is the bot to beat at this price.

The only interesting nugget about the 3i when I agreed to test it was that it promised to never need a water refill. i'd just finished testing the narwal Freo Z, which has to be topped up a few times a day and an autonomous robot sounded fantastic. You shouldn't like the 3i. It looks like an exhibit in a kids science museum. It weighs like 50lbs, and there is nothing notable about the robot itself. it looks like a generic robovac. I was so blown away by the performance, I haven't shut up about it since. In the history of my testing, i have kept 3 robovacs, and this is one of them. I just place new robots I'm testing in front of it, because I'm not moving that Gdamn tower for anything, it lives there now. Theres the design: these 2 forward sweeps rotate inward, and have constant downward pressure on the floor. They're huge, and very effective. The roller doesn't get clogged. Let me repeat. I let it vacuum up dog toy floof. Mulch. Receipts. NOTHING deterred this robot. And the mop was very effective, too. Was it the best mop I've tested? No. But it ranks up there. And the water cleaning actually works, I know because for a week, we had it mop up anything we could think of. Vinegar. Black dye water. Maple syrup. Tomato juice. And not only was the resulting clean water tank crystal clear, I used PH strips to test it, and it remained stable. It just metabolized anything we ran it over. It's been a few months and I've never had to refill the water, not once. It's finally an autonomous robot, and for that, it'd be worth it at $1899. But for $1139, I don't need to think about whether its better to spend less on a high end Roborock, the 3i is cheaper. |3i S10 Ultra|$1899.99|$1139.99 w code: S10USAVE5|40%|[https://amzn.to/3GsRZlm](https://amzn.to/3GsRZlm)| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| # Best vacuum if you have no budget Embargo'd til 7/7 # Best vacuum if you have thresholds The good news, since many of you are trying to decide between the Saros 10/10r and the Dreame X50 Ultra, is that I can make it easy. Get the Dreame X50. You won't like the reason I recommend it, though. It's simple: the Roborock Saros 10 is not, for reasons I don't get, on Prime Day special, only the 10R is. While the 10 and 10r are [supposed](https://lifehacker.com/tech/roborock-saros-10-vs-saros-10r-robot-vacuum-comparison) to have very similar builds with a lifting chassis, they don't act like it. The 10 is a better robot than the X50, so if you can afford it, buy it. If not, the X50 is a fine robot. Genuinely. And I never got tired of watching it yeet itself over thresholds and steps. The AI onboard helped the robot get better over time at navigation, and if anything, my only complaint is that it had to return to dock all the time to top up or recharge, so cleaning a whole house took a long time to get done. Worth mentioning: I recently tested the Mova P50 Ultra, and while I thought the robot wasn't worth the price (by a lot), it did delight me in how it sailed over thresholds but also turned sideways to actively clean the threshold itself (but don't buy it, the build sucks). |Roborock Saros 10|$1599.99|$1599.99|0|[https://amzn.to/40xGAHO](https://amzn.to/40xGAHO)| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |Dreame X50 Ultra|$1699.99|1199.99|29%|[https://amzn.to/3GrCzhm](https://amzn.to/3GrCzhm)| |Roborock Saros 10R|$1,599.99|1,279.99|20%|[https://amzn.to/4lFxi4W](https://amzn.to/4lFxi4W)| # Best vacuum for pets Embargo'd til 7/7 # Best vacuum if you don't want a mop Embargo'd til 7/7 # Best vacuum if you don't want an auto-emptying tower This is absurd, you should want the tower, or there's almost no point in getting a robovac to begin with.

I hated the Dyson 360Visnav, and the iRobot Roomba 205 was a total flop.

Roborock!! I have 5 dogs plus a rotating foster dog. 2 huskies, a shepherd, a Pyrenees, and a Malinois. Foster is a shepherd/husky mix. I finally caved on prime day and got the Roborock Q10 S5+. I am EXTREMELY pleased with it. It does an awesome job at keeping up with the hair. A friend of mine also has 5 German shepherds and highly praised Roborock which is why I went with that brand. Very glad I did!!

So I got the black one for $300. Not sure why the black one is back up to $550 and the white one is still marked down to $350 lol. But I would buy this for $350! It does have the mop function though. Black Friday will probably hold another good sale if you want to hold out. But from one person with a lot of dogs to another person with a lot of dogs: this thing is life changing!!!!

I have 5 dogs + a rotating foster. 2 huskies, a GSD, a Pyrenees, and a belgian Mal. I feel your pain on the dog hair. I just got the Roborock Q10 S5+ for prime day. I am thoroughly impressed with it so far and I don’t think my floors have ever been cleaner. I do not have rugs though, hard floor only. It also is a vacuum mop combo but it does self empty. I paid $300 on prime day for the black one. The white one seems to still be priced at $350. I chose Roborock because I have a friend/fellow dog rescue volunteer that has 5 GSD’s and she spoke very very highly of her Roborock and she has an older version. I concur with her high praises!

I have the Roborock Q10 S5+, better suction then the QV35A

Got the Q10 s5+. Seems about cheapest at $300. Got a week ago, smartest cheap one to buy feels like. No water tank is a con, having to fill up in tiny vacuum. L10s dreame looks nice for same proce, but don't want a camera.

I have a Q10 S5 and it’s working pretty well. It has a mop attachment but you can remove it. It navigates and avoid obstacles amazingly. Moreover if you ever feel like trying the mop, it’s the vibrating type (so not purely dragging the mop around) and it does a great job with it.

Since nobody has written anything about this model so far, I am taking care of the task. I couldn't find any direct experience with this model beyond some promotional material on youtube and the Vacuum Wars [Roborock 2025 Buying Guide](https://vacuumwars.com/ultimate-roborock-breakdown-2025-buyer-guide/) that described its features. I live alone, I have hard floors, no pets, wear no shoes inside and I was mainly looking for a vacuum-only model without a gigantic ugly dock, so that I could house the robot below my coffee table. Moreover I find the idea of having to replace bags very abhorrent: I can empty the canister myself well enough, thank you very much. Initially I ordered a Eufy C10 for 270 euros... oh boy that was the wrong choice (maybe I'll talk about it on r/eufy): I returned it after a day. Eufy's navigation was slow and awful. I then briefly considered the very cheap Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2, whose base wouldn't wouldn't have fitted under my coffee table. What really pushed me to the Q10 S5 was Roborock's famous superior navigation and the fact it has proper obstacle avoidance. The optional vibrarise 2.0 mopping system with onboard water, and 2 extra mopping pads for 300 euros in total sweetened the deal. And yeah this thing is a beast at navigating. I wish it had the extending brush like the Eufy C10 but it seems to be cleaning well even without it (and I'm sure Roborock is eager to create a new annoyingly named SKU featuring it). The app is much better than Eufy's, although Eufy's can make you edit how you want each room to be cleaned (this after always hearing Vacuum Wars saying how "granular" Roborock's app was). And yeah the mopping is great, despite hearing that the Vibrarise method isn't as effective as other mopping methods. Eventually I guess that I'll upgrade to a higher end model with a proper mop cleaning dock - one that doesn't look hideous, maybe the Curv's - when an Amazon sale comes, but for the moment I can throw the pads in the washer myself and I'm quite satisfied.

Hi! First, a dogmatic premise: I'm a dock station hater. I don't care for the current robot docks that exist for the only purpose of washing your dirty mop pads. I find them unsightly, big, and hard to meld them into most homes' decor. Most of all, I find them highly inefficient: these things take hours to wash and dry these mop pads. All the while I could just replace those pads with some clean ones and put the dirty ones in the washing machines waiting for the next wash cycle. This works for me and the use I do of my robot. Given this situation: which would you consider to be the best almost-stand-alone **mopping robot** with no pad-washing dock (it's ok, but not necessary, if the dock puts the dust in a bag. It's also ok if the dock only charges)? It seems to me like all the most advanced mopping robots are tied to cumbersome dock stations. I currently own a Roborock Q10 S5 and I quite like, but I was wondering if something even better was out there. Does anybody know? I had my eyes on the DREAME L10s Pro Gen 2 but my real *DREAM* would be to have one with an extending brush and - I might be wrong - it doesn't seem to exist yet. Thanks for reading!

Interesting! It’s like a slightly more premium version of the Q10 S5 I have. Mine has a 10000 pa of suction and a single hybrid roller (it’s not completely smooth, it has some bristles which I think help to avoid tangling) and no side sensors. And I guess the obstacle avoidance is also not as advanced as the S8’s but it’s ok as I don’t have clutter. Both have vibrarise.

HI! I have a Roborock Q10 S5, only hardfloors and no pets. I like it quite enough, it navigates efficiently and it vacuums and mops nicely. I wish the dustbin and the water tank were separate entities instead of a combo item: it, in fact, requires a bit of care when dumping the dust as you could potentially spill water in your trashcan. Replacement mop pads are cheap, just a bit finnicky to install: you need to carefully slide them in using two hands, it's not a mindless velcro situation. Very cheap these days for the Amazon Prime discounts.

Definitely Roborock. [Q10 s5+ is also on sale for $349](https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q10-S5-Self-Emptying-Anti-Tangle/dp/B0DWXBCQVP) with the clippable coupon. It’s the q8 max+ upgraded. Better suction power, Object avoidance and nav.

My S4 is thankfully still going fine (except it 'mystically' stopped cross-hatching), however i did want something with some basic obstacle avoidance and having replaced the original use-case for the S4 with something that had an auto empty dock, i really wanted that function too. I get your waste to have a mop function and not use it, and i also understand the getting used to manually emptying every day, but honestly, the ease and improvement in suction when the bin is frequently (and automatically) emptied, is worth it. For the mop, manufacturers are shoving one on there whether it's any good or not, it's a check box for the showroom brochure, i would just ignore the fact it has one. Now, i replaced my S4 with an Q10 S5+ - it's the auto-dock'd version (the +) and whilst it has the fancier mop compared to the otherwise identical Q10 X5+, for some reason, the S5+ is frequently available for $299 on sale. Finally, bear in mind our S4 has a great/large dust bin capacity, that's not typically the case with newer models, they're more or less designed to have an auto empty dock to compensate. To go back to my point of getting max performance during the vacuum run, i have mine empty every 15 minutes, keeps the bin and the filter more clear, as the more full the bin, the lower the suction will be. I tried various replacements for the S4 for carpet-only performance, and the Q10 was the best.

Maybe the roborock Q10 S5+ since it has vibrating mops which are better than passive swiffer-like mops. Please remember to wash and dry the mops after every cleaning run. 299 USD.

Q8 Max wasn't really made for mopping. Since it cannot lift the passive mop, you have to detach the mop everytime you want vacuuming. Make the no mop zones a little wider, even when risking a small strip remaining not mopped. Serious multi-mode cleaning with active mop and lift for combined hard floor / carpet rooms starts with S8 or Q10 S5.

Well, the S5 vibrates and also has a mop lift. So it's both here.

S5 data lists VibraRise 2.0. It's the same tech als S8 Pro Ultra had. Also the name tells that the mop vibrates and is rising.

That's not the point. Roborock has been supported well for ages, although somewhat inofficially. People are buying Roborock vacuums because you could trust them in being supported. Now there's two new models where they messed with the API for no good reason.

Your Edge C doesn't have the API issue. Affected models are Q7 L5/M5 and Q10.

I have the Roborock Q10 S5 which is much more basic than the Saros 10R. Large apartment, tile floors, a couple of carpets. I have been really happy with it. I can’t believe the amount of dust and dog hair it picks up every day. I didn’t realize how dirty my floors were. I’m also happy with the mop function. I didn’t think it would make much difference but it does. So, while I can’t speak to that model specifically, my budget version has been a winner for my home

I just picked up the same one on Amazon and so far I’m thoroughly impressed with the tech and functionalities for the price. Huge upgrade from my old Roborock E5. I read this model came out just a few weeks ago so looking forward to the overall rating and reviews!

Cheers from Canada, set mine up just a few days ago and it’s incredible!

The one from the post, the Q10 S5.. and yes very happy. It’s excellent value!

Q10 S5(+) is best value

Got my Q10v today, literally got my feet up tuning it at the moment, and after a couple of hours of my willing attention it knows the house perfectly and I can deploy it to the furthest room in under 40 seconds!

Awesome update! I got my Q10v today and went online afterwards looking for validation that I made a good decision, thank you!

I had originally bought the Q8 Max+ for $399, but a day later they released the Q10 S5+ for $379 and The Roborock website offered an additional 6% discount ($356 total), so it seemed like a no-brainer to return the Q8. I think maybe that low price was just for a few days initially, it’s now around $419. The Q10 has more suction power and the vibrating mop pad were a nice upgrade. The only thing I don’t love is how difficult it is to get into the tank and to swap out the mop pad. The Q8 with the docking station had the mop pad and the water tank facing the user and it was easy to access both without having to remove the robot from the docking station. With the Q10 and the dock, you have to pull the robot out of the docking station to access the mop pad because it is on the dock side, and to remove the water tank, it doesn’t easily pop out of the robot from the user side. You need to left up the top lid, and then lift out the water tank.

I recently got the Q10 S5 as well. The Robot vacuums fast and mopping is actually usefull. I was able to add it to Google Home, but I am unable to start specific room cleaning. It just starts full cleaning when asked to clean a specific room. Anyone managed to get specific room cleaning to work with the Q10 S5 and Google Home?

So an unknown brand just came out with a fairly pedestrian robot with stationary-pad mopping, and it has a higher rating than some of the highest-regarded robots on the market? Nope. If you really need mopping on a budget, take a look at the Dreame D10+, Eufy L60 Hybrid, or one of the Roborock Q series robots. For a big improvement in mopping for not much more money, look at the Eufy C20 or Dreame L10s Ultra series. Mova can be good, if they've solved their problem with fragile front wheels. If you don't care about mopping, look at the Eufy L60 SES or SwitchBot K10+.

The Q7 has the dock, but the Q10 has significantly better obstacle avoidance and significantly better mopping. So, the question is: which is more important to you? Self-empty base stations are definitely useful. Besides the obvious labor savings from not having to empty the robot's dustbin frequently, it helps make scheduling effective; since you're not directly interacting with the robot to cause it to clean, you tend to forget a robot on a schedule, which will lead to a clogged dustbin and ineffective cleaning in just a few weeks. Plus, most self-empty stations have a way to seal the dust bag when removing them from the station, which prevents the cloud of dust that comes from emptying the robot's dustbin. OTOH, better mopping and obstacle avoidance are also useful, so it's your call. I can't see you going wrong with either deal.

Roborock q10 s5 will suck up everything and leave you just needing to mop. 

Roborock q10 s5. I have a q5 pro and it’s pretty good. But the q10 has twice the suction.

I'm a new owner of the same model you linked and I can confirm it sounds suitable for you if you're happy with the price. The mop vibrates which probably means it does a slightly better job than the fully passive pad (which a lot of people here think is useless but even it helps a great deal when you don't normally mop often). The control you get within the app is pretty granular, so you can easily set up routines for rooms that might require different water levels or number of passes. Eg I've set it to double mop my tiled kitchen because it gets the worst pawprints; and mop with the lowest water level on my laminate wood floor living room. At this price point you're not going to get much in the way of automated mop cleaning and water refilling, the former of which would be a big value add for you given your disability. This is the one slightly annoying bit - having to take the mop pad off for cleaning, and dampening it before reattachment (the water provision only goes to the centre of the mop and doesn't soak to the edges when the mop is dry). I'm fully able bodied but lazy and this does bug me a bit - but I find the mopping functionality is good enough to be worth doing it. Just wanted to raise the issue in case your personal tradeoff calculation may be different. Vacuum wise it's great at picking up loads of husky hair, even on dark wood floors where it's super visible. I'm also very impressed with the job it does over rugs on a single pass (default behaviour is to boost the suction and lift the mop when it detects carpet, which works really well). Hope this helps! If you have any other everyday use questions I'm happy to answer them.

Personally, I went for the Roborock Q10 S5 (you can get the + version with the base). It has a vibrating mop and it works so well. It's around your price range.

Same as you. Recently replaced my old iRobot with Roborock Q10 S5 and it’s handling my long hair brilliantly. Not tangling in the brushes at all.

Yes! I did find an occasional long hair around the main brush and the front wheel, but it was really easy just to pull out. No more messing around with cutting hair forever like with my old iRobot! It makes things so much easier. I now run the Roborock daily, since my daily maintenance is just emptying the dustbin, not cutting hair (I don’t have the plus model).

I prefer ROBOROCK as well and have used EUFY as well. Prefer ROBOROCK as it lasts more , easy to get parts , I had Eufy just for upstairs but needed more maintenance than roborock and i felt it did not get app upgrades that made it stale sooner than Roborock.. Some tested vaccum only or optional mop from roborock a d vaccum.in order or prefeence especially for long hair and dogs ( I have 2 dogs + long hair) 1) https://amzn.to/3TiJqMI Q5 Max+ roborock vaccum only, self empty 2)https://amzn.to/3SHgEoY Q10 Roborock anti tangle with a light mop if needed one in a while. Mop is ok and I have used in bathrooms etc but not like a spinner mop 3) if you want to consider Eufy then l60 is decent at the price as it's modified for pets https://amzn.to/4kZaexG with anti tangle etc

Yes, but X20+ doesn't have anti-tangle features, so you will end up with the main brush full of hair after each cleaning session and you have to manually clean the brush after that. Roborock Q10 S5+ is the continuation of Q8 Max and is around the same price (better to check it out), and it has a comb system to detangle hair from the main brush.

Get the Roborock QR 798 or Q10 PF/VF or its + variant if you want an automatic empty station included. I'm in Southeast Asia, too! I have had a Q7 TF (similar to Q10 without a vibrating mop and obstacle avoidance) for three weeks, and I love it. I mainly use it to clean hard floors and low-pile rugs. - Q10 has two versions PF (lifting mop) and VF (vibrating mop similar to S8 Max and Saros 10). The + variants included the auto-empty station. - QR 798 is similar to QRevo S but slightly cheaper at least in my country 🇮🇩 - Xiaomi X20+ quite similar to Dreame L10 series and cheaper than QR 798 and L10 (in 🇮🇩). It already has obstacle avoidance features, but unlike Roborock Q7TF and Q10 PF/VF, it doesn't have an anti-hair tangle feature. - Xiaomi X 20 Max - Dreame L10s Ultra gen 2 All these robots use structured light sensors for obstacle avoidance. Unlike the AI camera sensor, it performs less than the latter. Structured light performs worse in detecting very small objects or objects on a high pile and carpet with complex patterns.

Based on your needs, Sados 10r is an overkill except you are planned to move into larger place in the next months. For Roborock, if you don't mind washing and changing the mop pad before every mopping session, you can go with Q7 M5/L5/TF with + designation for auto empty station. The Q10 S5+/X5+ gives more features above Q7 like obstacle avoidance sensor, vibrating mop pad and lifting mop pad unlike passive mop like in Q7. If you need a bit more automation, you can spend a little more on QV35A/QV35S (different only in suction power 8000Pa vs 10000Pa), and Qrevo S (7000Pa but come with warm air mop drying unlike ambient temperature drying in QV35). The QV35 has other names in some regions called Qrevo L. For Dreame, you can go with their D9 Max Gen 2 (no auto-empty dock), D10 Plus Gen 2 (with auto-empty dock), D20 Pro Plus (upgraded from D10 with more features like obstacle avoidance, extendable side brush, dual roller main brush great for anti tangle, and 13000Pa suction). There's also D20 Plus with almost similar specs to D20 Pro Plus but without the extendable side brush for corner cleaning and obstacle avoidance sensor. If you need a bit automation, there is D20 Ultra (offered in certain regions), L10s Ultra, L10s Ultra Gen 2, and so on. There's also Mova (Dreame's cheaper sub-brand) with S10 (cousin to D9), E30 Ultra for a bit more automation but cheap (cousin to D20 Ultra), S20 Ultra, or P10 Pro Ultra. You could also try to check Xiaomi's robots if available in your place. Their customer service is mostly decent and their robot is designed by Dreame using Dreame's older design and sold at cheaper and competitive price than Roborock, Dreame, and Mova.

Roborock has upgrade version of Q5 max+, so if you don't have any extra needs, you can go pick between Q7 and Q10. Q10 S5+ is a nice one, greater suction power and not over-priced as well.

I couldn’t find any reviews either, but I decided to give it a try—and I’m really happy with its performance. It’s my first robot vacuum, and the Q10 VF+ has definitely impressed me, :-)

I recently got the Q10 VF+ as my first robot vacuum, and I’m truly pleased with it. The app is also very intuitive and user-friendly. I had considered the Q7 as well, but after comparing the features, I decided to go with the Q10 to avoid any regrets later on. A happy mind makes for a happy life...

I also considered Xiaomi's robot vacuums, but the X20 Plus was the only model available in our area. After learning that it still requires some manual cleaning due to water dripping, I ultimately decided to go with the Q10 VF+ instead.

I got a CurvX during Octobers prime days for 899.99. It is very close to the Saros 10R minus a few luxury’s (mop detaching, detergent dispenser, higher threshold climbing) and it was $300 less. I really wanted the Saros10R, but couldn’t justify the price premium vs the CurvX, especially with the 10R approaching a year old. I don’t regret making that choice (though if the 10R replacement in 2026 gets the plumbed water and drainage dock in the US this time around I would consider an upgrade for that and the detergent). I have had zero issues with it, and it runs for around 2200sqft of mostly LVP on my main level daily in the middle of the night. Only one of the missing features I wish it had was the detergent dispenser. It’s not hard to put two splashes in the clean water tank, but it’s just one more thing when already having to empty and fill the tanks daily. No hair tangles on any of the brushes (one long hair human, one short hair human, two short hair dogs), no issues with self emptying completely. Auto mop cleaning seems to be doing a great job. And the two price removable tray beats the dreame cleaning dock where part of it is fixed to the base. I would recommend the CurvX 1000x over. I had issues with (and returned) both the EcoVacs X11 and Mova Z60 and decided to go with spinning mops hoping the more mature (mostly older) mop technology and Roborock brand would come through. It has been flawless running for around three weeks now (73hrs—52,000sqft). As a side note for anyone with mostly carpet, I just also set up two Q10 S5+ to run as vacuum only on my second floor and basement, and have been incredibly impressed with them for $299.99/ea. They have only been running for two days, but it’s been a good start. All three of these vacuums were bought a few weeks apart in October, and are my first robot vacuums since a few different roomba models that I stopped using around 2017.

Was in the same boat as you. By the time I made up my mind on Roborock Q10 S5+, prime deal ended (on this model). Ended up ordering from Roborock website.

YES, it is worth it. i had my doubts, and im only using the Roborock Q10V+. No better dog hair feedback than a Husky owner here!. We have two adult size huskos and the amount of dog hair this thing collects is unreal! Before, I was manually vacuuming twice daily or more, and there would always be fluff flying around regardless no matter what i did. Now dam man, I barely even touched the vacuum. I make it run 3 times a day, and it might be overkill, but honestly, the house hasnt looked better. I have not seen fluff or hair anymore. It really has taken the load off me. I highly recommend these vacs. They are fantastic! Truely something I thought i didn't need or was going to be gimmicky and it exceeded my expectations!

You schedule it through the app. There, you can pick different times and how strong you want it to vac, deep clean, mop, or use water options. Morning and lunch I just do regular, nighttime is deep clean. The house stays immaculate (again im going abit over kil here). The only real risk is if your dog isn’t fully toilet trained has an accident or of course gets sick. To avoid that, just don’t run it when you’re not home or place your dog in another room while you go to work. (its really up to you). If i do set my midday one. I usually aim that when im working from home. My huskies just lay there, and it cleans around them its funny as. Most pet owners worry about the “surprise smear” but it’s easy to avoid if you schedule smart. Even once a day on deep clean/max vac works great. Another tip Since my huskies shed like crazy, I pull their fur out of the bag with gloves on straight into the bin and reuse it to make it last longer. I also grabbed replacement bags from Temu to save money, and they work fine. Honestly, just fit it into your routine. I can’t go back without one. It's changed my life and has taken that whole chore and never ending battle. If this one dies, I’ll replace it straight away. Again, i have honestly found it's not gimmicky or just a "oh guess its ok." it really does clean really good and does its own thing. I legit still haven't vac'd my house in months. About the only thing I do is mop, lol. This model has better Suction then even some of the higher up models in its range for comparison. Goodluck! 😎🇦🇺

As ive answered this. Like i said im going overkill with 3 times a day. But that's because I'm a clean freak and I have a large place. I could honestly get away with once a day deep clean.

Hope this helps: Under $300/400 look at the Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2, roborock Q10 S5+ Under $600 look at the Mova P10 Pro Ultra, roborock Qrevo Series, Dreame L40 Ultra Under $1000 look at the Mova P50 Pro Ultra, Narwal Freo Z10, Narwal Freo Z Ultra, Dreame X40 Ultra Love Narwal for pet hair so with 2 dogs and 1 cat I think that might be the way to go with your hairy household! If I had to pick the P50 Pro Ultra, either Narwal you would be happy with. The Mova P10, Qrevo Series, L40 Ultra are very respectable as well!

yes, worth it. I just got a Q10 S5, and it usually finishes the job where as an older wyze robot (lidar but no camera) always got stuck on stuff. it still can't see totally flat objects, but it's petty good.

I just had a full refund (and collection) from Roborock after buying the Q10 S5+. I gave it a 3\* review and they contacted me to ask why. I said I wasn't happy about the lack of HA Integration and they offered my a refund. Being collected today

I didn't actually check. The link they sent to view it requires a Shopify account which I don't have and won't be signing up for (and my AdBlocker didn't like it). Didn't require an account to leave the review though. This is the link from "click here" [https://accounts.shopify.com/lookup?rid=fa3aff75-cd1b-4a1e-840c-3efa0cc0f029&verify=1758018437-V%2BbI4LQoiZaVv1QvvKHgKDQ5z0fmv9ExYjR%2FpGrxJ40%3D](https://accounts.shopify.com/lookup?rid=fa3aff75-cd1b-4a1e-840c-3efa0cc0f029&verify=1758018437-V%2BbI4LQoiZaVv1QvvKHgKDQ5z0fmv9ExYjR%2FpGrxJ40%3D) https://preview.redd.it/28w0zf1z7ipf1.png?width=1476&format=png&auto=webp&s=7797e91350adae4f8827dbd36748963a0c19c2f7 Again, I didn't ask for a refund, they just decided to offer me one after I left the review and confirming that HA was not supported on this model. I was actually quite happy with it, just disappointed about the lack of integration.

I love my q10 upgrade from a basic roomba. Its amazing

I just upgraded to a roborock q10 with mop from a basic roomba and live it so much. I feel super smug every time it does its job and it does it far better than I ever did

my roborock q10 could do this

Getting a robot vac as a suplement to perform a daily sweep and help keep on top of the floors can be helpful ideal. Replacing a normal upright entirely with a robot is not such a good idea. No robot can match the rug cleaning performance and power of a normal vac, they can't reach a lot of spots or vacuum furniture and corners either. I would always recommend having a normal vac around for deeper cleaning. Robot vacs do require maintenance themselves especially if long hair is involved. The rollers, even "anti tangle" ones accumulate hair in the brush roller ends which need to be cleared out regularly, on top of the regular filter cleaning and emptying. Plus they can struggle if cords, sock, and pet toys are laying around. All that said and if you think the maintainence won't be a burden, I'd look at the roborock q7 and q10 series of models. I've had relatively good luck with robotock machines, and they should help keep up with the floors. I wouldn't pay much attention to mopping functions either. Usually they're more work than help.

I have Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra with refill system, one of the negatives is that hair gets stuck in the edges of the brushes and i have to keep removing it. My roborock Q10+ has very good tangle free. Am looking one for my family and want to know if ecovacs or dreame is better than roborock from someone who has used all three is possible.

Warning: some Roborock models are not supported (yet?). Returned my Q10 because of that. Now I have a Qrevo S that works perfectly.

This is why I am hesitating on the roborock q10 pf in my country. It is the q10 x5 in US. Will the spare parts be found in 3 years? Only if sales are good enough. The spare parts if too different may not be found so easily. Like the Dreame D20 (only with charging dock) in my country that is not the Dreame D20 Ultra in any way. And so far I have been unable to find the spare parts or know its equivalent elsewhere. For my Xiaomi 1C, I have managed to find parts to it. I have sent it in to get the wheels switched out under warranty, I have changed the filters and brushes at economical prices and I have switched out the batteries twice so far. The new ones are larger capacity but cause the robot vac to be a bit haywire. Perhaps I need to service the front wheel and clean the sensors? Either way, I am undecided between the roborock q10 PF and Xiaomi S20 or S20+. The S20 seems to fit my needs as a basic vacuum and is more compact allowing it to get into slightly tight areas but feels like just a little upgrade over my 1C that still works albeit haywire sometimes. It gets fixated on areas some times. I have put furniture risers ro accommodate the LiDar puck as that was the only hindrance on the new vacuums.

I love my Roborock. He vacuums the family room and kitchen every night and will even damp mop if I add the mop pads. Keeps all the crumbs and pet hair (4 house bunnies and a cat) under control so that I only have to do a full vacuum/mop a couple of times a month.

I believe it is a Q10. I've had it for a couple of years.

I had a backdoor in my switch and android TV box from aliexpress so yeah... It's not about where it's made but who is making it. Do you know new roborocks (tested with my q10 but it's for all new models. Roborock changed protocol completely) don't work at all without internet connection? Like if your internet is down it won't vacuum. Do you think this is alright? Ps. My iPhone is made in India.

Ecovacs are junk, as least the T20 I had for 1 week was. I know have a Dreame bot, the mapping is still a bit crap but at least the robot makes it to each room, even if in does only mop half the kitchen. The best mapping I've had was my old Roborocks S5

I deffo wouldn't return both and get something that's supposed to be better, because the robot vac world is a con anyway, more expensive and more features doesn't equal better experience, also obstacle avoidance while a great thing, with some models it's hindrance as it doesn't work properly and causes all sorts of navigation problems. Do your parents a favour, and provide them some redundancy by keeping both, better to have one on each floor, plus if one breaks you have a back up vac. The mid to high end vacs make a lot of claims but in real life situations they aren't much better imo. By the way the YouTube reviews are a real bum steer as well, God knows how they manage to rate the Vacs as they did, don't trust those, it's a mistake I made. I also wasted money on Ecovacs and Dreame mid to high end and they are both worse than my old Roborocks S5, which is worth about 20p at this point, don't buy into that hype, it's not real.

Second the OP.  I'd recommend getting a Roborock or similar with self emptying vacuum. It works best on hardwood floors. Carpet not so much. Look into robots with high suction power. Like the other OP, you will still need to dyson up nooks and crannies manually, but the ability to schedule frequent self vacuum in high traffic areas cuts down on your workload significantly.  The self mopping feature imo is not worth it, but maybe the newest models have improved.  From experience, you will want robots that can detect animals (I've seen videos where the robot runs over the dogs tails, gets stuck, and terrifies the dogs). Also look for ones that can detect objects like poop, so you don't come home to a Jackson pollock painting. Look into the clearance height of the robot as well, and compare to your furniture if you are looking to have the robot go under couches and stuff. For example, our roborock barely fits under the couch, and even with 1 cm clearance, will avoid going under the couch if it detects the under-couch fabric is hanging too low (we fixed this by reholstering the bottom of the couch). Worth mentioning if you work from home that the self emptying vacuum feature can get loud, but it is usually very brief and you should be able to schedule emptying times. The robot vacuum companies get you on the replacement parts, which are not cheap. You do get what you pay for though, and routine maintenance (cleaning sensors, replacing brushes, untangling hair from rollers) goes a long way in longevity. I haven't found a robot vacuum that does not pick up hairs in the dog roller yet, so expect to periodically open up the robot to remove hair (usually very easy). For replacement parts, you can go third party for cheaper. Especially so when buying replacements for big brand/popular models. For example, you can get an unofficial 5 pack of vacuum bags for the self emptying vacuum for the same cost as 1 official one (or something like that). For carpets, I'd just go with those manual carpet brushes. Picks up way more hair more efficiently than any vacuum. Just my 2 cents. 

The Z70 is a new class of product for the whole market segment. I wanted the Z70. But realllyyyy wanted to be connected to the utilities for water and drain. So I couldn't justify it. I got the 10 utility and love it. If the Z70 performed 70% as well, I think you'd still be happy. It's amazing at cleaning without getting stuck... It detects cables, socks random objects and generally doesn't get stuck. While giving a solid clean and mop.

Don't spend $1000 on one, go for one around $350-$400 with an auto emptying dock. Roborock is my favorite. You'll get 99% the same features and function as the $1k one, and if you like it then you can get a second one and still be under $1k!

Depends on your flooring and needs If carpets - Roborock - best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock (most newer models) If hardwood and no pets (Read not an inordinate amount of vacuuming) - Eufy S1 Pro - Best mopping hands down along with pretty good vacuuming

Ich sehe das ein wenig anders als die meisten Kommentare: kein Staubsaugerroboter zu besitzen ist schlimm. Irgendeinen Staubsaugerroboter zu nutzen sind 80%. Hauptsache ist, der Roboter lässt sich programmieren, findet seine Ladestation und läuft regelmäßig. Teurere Modelle zu kaufen schließt dann irgendwann die Lücke, die man ab und an noch selber saugen muss, je weiter man an 100% will, umso mehr kostet es im Zweifel. Ich hatte schon verschiedenste Modelle, habe im Keller einen Chaosrobo, im Erdgeschoss einen Roborock mit Absaugstation und oben einen Eufy. Eufy wäre mein Preis-/Leistungstipp.

Yes! Don’t get the Curv plus it’s cheaply built and ugly. The S8 MaxV has premium materials. They are all plastic but the Curv and Q series feel flimsy.

You might not be happy with the build quality of the lower end series like the Q. Stick with Premium. I would get the S series or Saros. The Q series feels very cheap compared to the S plus it can handle the hair NP. It’s a more attractive unit too unless you like a shiny egg that looks like it came out of an 80s movie. lol

The comment about robot vacuums only being for small places is probably based on the old random pattern robots. Most robots now map and do well in large houses. It sounds like most mapping robots would work for you, since you don't want mopping, have hardfloors, and no pets. So anything with lidar (prefered) or vslam navigation. Obstacle avoidance might be a useful feature for cords, shoes, toys etc. left on the ground. It might be worth looking into a Eufy L60, iRobot Roomba j series, Roborock Q series, or shark. I'm biased because I have three robot vacs (Roborock S6, Ecovacs x1 omni, and iRobot Roomba j5+ combo) and my roomba j5+ is the only one that is reliable and working at the moment

I saw recommendations for the Roborock vacuums. Having used it for 2 days, it's been solid, and the new Q-series does seem to work well with the native homeassistant plugin.

Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.

We have two shedding dogs and we love our Roborocks. The first one, while it was fantastic filled kinda quickly (not their fault, our dogs shed A LOT) so it was a minor inconvenience to empty it halfway through it's cleaning 2700sqft. My brother became disabled so I gave him that one for his apartment. He loves it and his helper can empty it and help him with harder care items so it saves him money (he was initially being charged an hour every day for vacuuming, now he's not). The second one I got was self emptying so it can continue all by itself and I really appreciate it. I only have to empty the main basin once a week and that's it. Super convenient and does a fantastic job cleaning. I used to vacuum at least twice a day to stay on top of the hair. Now I do a "deep" vacuum once a week- baseboards, under carpets, etc. Roborock gave me hours of my life back and that's not an exaggeration.

Get a self emptying Roborock one. Roombas are crap that are basically all about their name now. You will have to clean the fur out of some spots on it at times, but if you run it every day it will keep most of it out of the way.

I have an expensive roborock and it's great. It's the self emptying one, was like $1k on sale last year. Wait till November/Black Friday sale and they are 30-50% off regular price. Can definitely find a good one within your budget

I bought a barely used self-emptying Roborock on Facebook marketplace a few months ago and it is hands down one of the best purchases/decisions I’ve ever made. One dog and a cat and I was losing my mind trying to keep up with my floors.

For the price (£250) I am very impressed with mine. Its got LiDAR, a mop, empties itself, etc. Its really neat to watch on the app as it goes about your house and maps it out. Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle. Definitely does not replace vacuuming as a whole though as it just cant physically get into the corners, and the vacuum itself isnt enough to really suck stuff out of the carpet, more just pick up things on top. I treat it more like a broom than anything else, but having a pet it helps me keep on top of things.

I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
