Q10 S5+

I have a q10 s5+ and a German shepherd that would shed if she was shaved naked. It does wonderfully, BUT 6 months in hair had gotten wrapped around the wheels where you can’t access to clean, unless you take it apart, which voids the warranty. We had to send it back for repair. Major design flaw, imo

I’m fairly new so definitely not an expert. I got a Roborock Q10 S5 which is one of the cheapest models and was on sale for $229 Canadian recently. This vacuums and mops. I bought it mostly for my golden retriever hair to be a vacuum. I didn’t get the S5+ which allows it to empty into a bin so I have to clean it often but I feel like with the quantity of hair I’m dealing with it would clog the filter anyway and it’s a 1 min job to clean it. So far it’s been really good at doing its thing. I also use the mop once or twice a week and that is also surprisingly good even though it’s just a pad. I am not cleaning wine or coffee like on all the test videos, it’s just a bit of a wipe, and it does a pretty good job on dog paw prints so it meets my needs. I have to manually clean the mop pad after each use but that’s not huge deal for me. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it is. I may eventually move this one upstairs and try the one that empties for the high traffic area this one currently serves.

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.

\+1 for roborock I have the Q10 VF+

Skip the Q7M5 if you can afford upto \~$350. Roborock [Q10 S5+](https://redango-delta.vercel.app/g/A9F2M7XQ) is way better. It offers better obstacle avoidance (except wires which almost no robot vacuum will avoid in this range) and its mopping system can lift itself off area rugs. If you dont have issues with auto-docking then go with Q10 S5 base. Another model worth looking at if you have pets is [Dreame D20 PP](https://redango-delta.vercel.app/g/F3QX7M2A) if you want better suction and an extending brush but you will lose the auto lifting and sonic vibration on the Q15 S5.
