Yes, it will do the job.👍 The dust bin is quite big and it's easy to remove hairs from the rollers if anything get stucked.
r/Roborock • Roborock Q5 Pro for vacuum cleaning incl. dog hair ->I use roborock q5 pro, i belive that should be in your range. I have 3 cats(2sibs) and have this running downstairs where toilets are 2x/daily and im happy. Once budget allows it a dyson handheld vacuum is also life changing xD
r/SiberianCats • Is a Robot vacuum worth it for Pet Hair? Best options under $200? ->Good to know, thanks. Our old Wyze had to stop and recharge in our single-story house but Q5 Pro has better battery life so I think it will get the job done on a single charge no matter what setting we use.
r/Roborock • Roborock Q5 Pro for vacuum cleaning incl. dog hair ->For someone with multiple dogs that shed, it’s a godsend. I have all carpet, so I got a dual rubber roller model with high suction (Roborock q5 pro). I still vacuum with my big Dyson once or twice a week for a proper deep clean, and it does pull up a good amount of dirt, but the robot vac does do the day to day for me just fine.
r/homeautomation • Can robot vacuum truly deep clean your home? ->Do you have bristle brushes? If so, that's your problem. See if any of these kind will fit your model- [https://a.co/d/07ErAUvj](https://a.co/d/07ErAUvj) I've got the Q5 Pro+ and it's never gotten tangled. Hair will still get wrapped around the shaft end a bit, but it doesn't impact performance. Golden, Lab, Border collie / bernese mix. Lots of fur flying around here.
r/homeautomation • Looking for a robot vacuum that's good for a home with two dogs. Any suggestions? ->I bought the Roborock Q5 pro about 6 months ago based on the recommendation of vacuum wars. It is still holding up as well as it did the day I bought it. It's not as powerful as an upright vacuum but scheduling it to vacuum once a day and cleaning the brushes once a week keeps on top of the hair from 2 cats very well. I don't even vacuum anymore I just set off the robot while I clean up the rest of the house, it's especially good for hard floors and also has a mop pad it drags behind itself which doesn't really mop but instead picks up the smaller particles the vacuum isn't strong enough to capture.
r/BuyItForLife • Pet owners, what's the best robot vacuum for TONS OF PET HAIR that's worked really well? ->I have been a faithful user of iRobot for over a decade. However. My latest (expensive) Roomba looks like an absolute JOKE compared to the Roborock Q5 Pro & Q5 Max Plus that I now own. I have three stories plus a sunken living room so a plethora of robots.
r/homeimprovementideas • Robot vacuum for home - what is the best under $500 ->I got a Roborock Q5 Pro in November and have been really impressed with how well it handles pet hair. Unlike the other model the hair almost never gets tangled up around the brushes but it still clearly does a good job vacuuming the area rugs. I generally prefer roborock over other brands because they have excellent lidar navigation. My oldest one is ~5 years old and doing fine, but has been relegated to the upstairs.
r/BuyItForLife • Pet owners, what's the best robot vacuum for TONS OF PET HAIR that's worked really well? ->After getting a robot vacuum, I realized it was a pain to constantly empty the tiny dust storage container on the vacuum itself constantly. I would not recommend any robot vacuum that does not have a station that empties the vacuum automatically. That being said, if you are set on your 4 choices, I would go with the roborock. That was my first vacuum and it worked well besides the issue with constantly emptying it. I would not recommend eufy due to privacy concerns and dreame apparently has horrible support from what numerous reviews said. Never heard of tikom.
r/smarthome • Best hybrid robot vacuum & mop for under $250? ->I agree with this option for those only concerned about vacuuming. Robot vacuums have *evolved* far past being a bumbling hunk of plastic that constantly bumps into things and gets stuck (though you could still buy this sort of robot if you'd like).
r/RobotVacuums • I'm searching for my first robot vacuum under a budget! ->For a vacuum only option, the Q5 Pro is a good workhorse :)
r/RobotVacuums • UK Recommendations ->Maybe a refurbished roomba for carpets but navigation is an option. A roborock would be better at navigation. The Q5 Pro with no autoempty station would be better at not disturbing people if it will autoempty during working hours but the Q8 Max+ or the Q5 Max+ can be considered if you’d like one with an autoempty station.
r/RobotVacuums • office carpet - 70sqm. - best value for money vacuum robot? ->What’s your purchasing region? Perhaps the Roborock Q5 duoroller model with no self empty station or the Eufy L60 would be a good choice.
r/RobotVacuums • 650 sqft Apt, no carpet, robot vacuum recommendations ->Q7 is outdated. Q5 is the better and even cheaper successor. Don't be fooled by the "5" vs. "7". Q8 is the same as Q5 but with obstacle avoidance. Q7 and Q5 have none. Still don't trust the Q8 avoiding pet waste. It works most of the time but never risk an accident. With the idea of running 2x a day the "+" dock is surely a must-have.
r/Roborock • Best Roborock under $400? ->If Q7, then I would pick the latest variant Q7 M5 for the same $200. [https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q7-M5-Anti-Tangle-APP-Controlled/dp/B0DSJ93KPD?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q7-M5-Anti-Tangle-APP-Controlled/dp/B0DSJ93KPD?th=1) It has improved suction power and better anti-tangling brushes. Q7 Max is comparably old and noisy. If you are very short on budget, there's a refurbished Q5 Pro here ($170) [https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q5-Pro-DuoRoller-Navigation/dp/B0D9QF6BF2?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q5-Pro-DuoRoller-Navigation/dp/B0D9QF6BF2?th=1) Which would be newer and even better than Q7 Max, and much more silent. Don't fall for "5" is less than "7" because it's not. ;-) However the Q5's are about to be phased out.
r/Roborock • Should I buy Q7 without an emptying dock? ->Q5 is NOT an everyday mopper. The mop is completely passive, does no scrubbing, and you have to wash and mount/unmount it yourself all the time. I.e. cannot go over carpet while mop is attached. Really serious active mopping starts with Qrevo, which comes with a full automated washing dock and water management. Even much better than the standard S7+ was. You can make a good deal on this during Prime sales.
r/Roborock • First Robot Vacuum: Is a Q5 worth it? ->You are right. I didn't expect the Q5 still being available anywhere so I had Pro in mind.
r/Roborock • First Robot Vacuum: Is a Q5 worth it? ->Q5 / Q7 / Q8 aren't real combos. They have a mop add-on for occasional use. That's cheap, has no motors and consists of a plastic plate with a cloth. Worth $20 maybe, added manufacturing cost somewhat <$5. So almost all models have these add-ons so they can be sold as "combo". Real mopping starts with scrubbing robots like S8, Q10 S5 or Qrevo.
r/Roborock • First Robot Vacuum: Is a Q5 worth it? ->Works great. A daily run and keeping the rollers and the machine clean will do the job.
r/Roborock • Roborock Q5 Pro for vacuum cleaning incl. dog hair ->I’m a huge fan of the Q5 Pro. I have a black lab Great Pyrenees mix and it’s doing a great job cleaning multiple levels. Mopping isn’t a huge concern so I forwent the higher tiers and haven’t looked back. I was considering the Eufy but I think I read that you have to move the base with the vacuum if you want to clean multiple levels but I could be mistaken. If price isn’t an issue, which it seems like it’s not, I’d probably go for the Revo
r/RobotVacuums • Newbie Looking to get first robot vacuum on Prime day ->We just bought a Roborock Q5 pro as it was very highly recommended everywhere, and is currently on sale at Amazon for Cad$283
r/homeassistant • What's the best robot vacuum and mop IYO? Is it really worth its expensive price tag you paid? ->I have a shepherd mix and this time of year he's shedding like crazy. I have a Roborock S7 on my first floor (hardwood and I like having the mop) and a Roborock Q5 Pro for the second floor (medium pile carpet and I don't need the mopping). I didn't opt for self-empty bases for either and I'm actually happy I didn't because I would be filling up the bags every week. I simply empty the bins into the trash once a week (more so now because of shedding) and I'm good to go. A few notes: * the Q5 Pro has a much larger dust bin than the older Q5 and an updated roller design. I'm seeing good results with dog hair pick up and the larger bin is welcome. * The Q5 Pro dust bin design is WAY better than the S7...so make sure to look at dust bin design whatever you buy because some are annoying to empty. * I also like Roborock's software, mainly the ability to schedule cleaning of different rooms at different times. * you can absolutely get a good vacuum under $500, I think I got the Q5 Pro for $299. w/Self Empty it might be $499.
r/RobotVacuums • Basic Question - Best Robot Vacuum for Dog Hair ->I bough a roborock q5 pro from amazon a few weeks ago. It was on sale for $250 so I pulled the trigger on it after watching some reviews on YouTube of it. I have a smallish place with carpet in the bedroom while everywhere else is tile. It does a good job on both surfaces and has been able to pick up everything on my carpet. I run it every other day to keep the dust under control as my place is often dusty. I was using a Dyson vacuum but it’s been in the closet since I got the roborock. One of these days I’ll empty the Dyson and do a vacuum with it to see if the roborock is leaving anything behind. I bought mine assuming it wasn’t going to replace my normal vacuum and I just wanted it to keep my place looking fresh in between vacuums. In reality, it’s exceeded my expectation and I have not used my normal vacuum since I got it. I think they are worth it assuming you get a good one. This is the amount of stuff mine picks up every time it cleans https://preview.redd.it/bouadjz8hsme1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e5cff134294ae84ad47a7e297f47fcc8ebc3ab7 Edit: also be aware that some of these robot vacuums have consumables (parts that you’ll need to replace after a while)
r/homeautomation • Can robot vacuum truly deep clean your home? ->Even on the mid-range Q5, I never noticed any corner spots with crumbs or dust that it missed. The suction seems plenty strong, you can just run it on turbo when not home. The more challenging spots are behind the couch/TV where there are wires on the floor, or legs it can't fit between. I'm okay with that I just vacuum those manually infrequently.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->Can't go wrong with Roborock. I have Q5 Pro, great vacuum performance, it maps and cleans unattended. For pets you might want the vacuum dock. Under $400-500USD. The higher end robovacs are all about mopping, avoid them if you don't care about that, go mid-range.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->I got mine for $200 on Amazon sale. Perfect for vacuuming hard floors. Downsides would be the mop attachment, doesn't do much, you fill it with water and it only wipes not scrubs. The rubber brushes are fine for throw rugs, would not do well on deep carpet. Only had several months, but it been sturdy and parts can be replaced. The app shows life of each part (filter, brushes, etc.)
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->Got the Q5 pro (with dock) on black Friday for around $250 and it's honestly all we need in our 2B with a mix of hard floors and carpet. The mopping never gets used. Be prepared to set no go zones in tight corners and where wiring is exposed.
r/Roborock • Should I drop $1800 on a robot vacuum or go cheaper? ->I bought the Roborock Q5 Pro and it was $130. I couldn't imagine spending over a few hundred on a robot vacuum since they likely won't last for that many years. The mopping feature seems useless on most robot vacs, we use ours to vacuum and then quick mop things manually as needed. We love our Roborock, but had it been over $2-300 bucks I wouldn't have been able to justify the purchase.
r/Roborock • Should I drop $1800 on a robot vacuum or go cheaper? ->Same here. Had it for a few weeks, and so far very happy with it. One cat and hardwood floors, so mostly picking up tracked litter and some car hair. Great app and not very noisy. Wish it was a bit less tall, doesn't quite fit under my sofa like my Eufy 30C did.
r/RobotVacuums • Which one is better for dog hair? ->There's a $90 off coupon... I bought one a few weeks ago, very happy with it .
r/RobotVacuums • Which one is better for dog hair? ->I did some research digging and found the roborock Q5 pro was best for my 3 dogs and mostly hard floors. So far it has been a dream for setup and the app is amazing too for mapping and scheduling.
r/RobotVacuums • Dog parents! What vacuum-only robot works GREAT for pet hair? ->Roborock Q5 pro is doing a fantastic job for us as a vacuum on hard floor. We’re not using the mop attachment at all though. But have really clean floors now.
r/RobotVacuums • Hard wooden floors - up to 400£ ->I just got a Roborock Q5 Pro. It’s working great. Love the app way more than the Shark app! It does mop, but I’m not curious enough to try that feature yet. Most reviews say that though it can mop, it doesn’t do that great, but it is a pretty amazing vacuum, so they just got it for the vacuum feature.
r/RobotVacuums • Best no mop vacuum? I'm overwhelmed. ->I wouldn't buy a shark from complaints I've seen on reddit, I have owned the l60 and the Q5 Pro which is pretty much the same as the Q5 Max but has the water tank. The L60 only has a 2600 mah battery compared to 5200 mah battery for the Q5 Max and the L60 seemed to bounce along low pile carpet for me and I've seen other people complain the same thing. I'm very happy with the Q5 Pro. Good Luck
r/RobotVacuums • Of these three options, which are the best for hardwood/carpet/rug combo, and pet hair? ->I'm on my 4th Roborock The S4 Max. Q5 Pro, Q8 Max and Qrevo Pro which all have lidar navigation and none has ever failed. I watch these forums closely and have notg seen anybody complaining about lidar failure. The top cover of the lidar navigation is actually a button that gets pressed down if a vacuum tries going under someplace where it won't fit such as a couch. Narwal is fairly new to the scene and I have not used their vacuums. I know one thing that I don't like about them is the vacuums don't have on board water tank so if you want to take it to a different floor to mop all you have is the moisture that is on the mop, no tank to replenish the water.
r/RobotVacuums • I’m quite unsure about which robot vacuum to buy ->As someone else said the [Roborock S5 Pro](https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q5-Pro-DuoRoller-Navigation/dp/B0C7VLHMQR?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1) is a steal at $140.00
r/RobotVacuums • Hi everyone, I wanted to get my sister a robot vacuum. Amazon has a lot of sales going on. Wondering if anyone has favorite brands OR brands to stay away from? ->I would think for your specs the Roborock Q5 Pro would be best. It has the dual brushes which is good for hair pickup and it also has a dust bin that is 770 ml which is close to double what other vacuums offer. I does come with a gravity feed water tank for mopping which is totally useless so it just clips off and just use the vacuum. With the larger dust bin on the Q5 Pro you won't have to empty it as often if you don't have an auto empty dock. [https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q5-Pro-Self-Emptying-Hands-Free/dp/B0C7VLHMQR?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q5-Pro-Self-Emptying-Hands-Free/dp/B0C7VLHMQR?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1)
r/RobotVacuums • Best non-mopping robot? ->\+1 for Roborock Q5 Max or Q5 Pro. I've got the Q5 Pro, which is basically the Q5 Max with a very basic mop attachment included in the price. I believe you have to buy the basic mop separately for the Q5 Max. You can also opt for the Q5 Pro+. The "+" means you buy the vacuum with the larger self emptying dock. No "+" means you only buy the vacuum with the basic charging dock. My Q5 Pro works great in my apartment with one Shiba. I went for the basic charging dock because the large 770 mL dustbin is larger than other models usually around 300mL so it's adequate for my one dog and apartment (tiles and hardwood floor. no carpets). Also means with a basic small dock, I can hide the vacuum under a cabinet.
r/RobotVacuums • Best robot vacuum for cat hair ->I’ve got a Roborock Q5 pro and love it. Got hardwood / tile floors and a Shiba Inu in my apartment. Picked the Q5 pro for the large dustbin and duo roller. I don’t want any mopping function or auto empty. I just park my charging station next to the trash bin and empty the robot daily.
r/RobotVacuums • Which one is better for dog hair? ->I've been in the robot vacuum game for awhile. Had an OG Roomba Pro back in 2003, then a Roomba 500 series in 2008, Roborock S6 in 2020, and just got a Roborock Q5 Pro a month ago. The budget models of today are SO GOOD and SO CHEAP, that it is very hard for me to justify any of the higher tier models. I got the Q5 Pro for $139. Considering it has similar features but better cleaning performance than my S6 but costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6, it is the best value option out there imo. While the techie in me enjoys all of the latest features, I think adding pumps, water, and moving base parts is an order of magnitude more complexity and increases the odds of breaking something. My Roomba 500 still runs and it just needed battery replacements and a new vac motor over its 12 years of service. Granted, I have the perspective of having a robot vac for 2 decades, so picking up things on the floor that it'll get stuck on is second nature.
r/RobotVacuums • [deleted by user] ->For crevices, you need a robot with a bristle main brush. Dreame L series and Mova usually use rubber brushes, which, according to reviewers on YT, don't pick up dust in crevices well unlike bristle ones. Some Roborock model like Q5 Pro, Q8 Max, Qrevo S, and QV35A/S also uses a similar brush. I think if you don't mind with prices, E28 or E25 is a good candidate because its roller mop is superior. Roborock also has a new lineup called S5A which is the cheaper version of Qrevo Edge. Now it's $899 on Amazon. S5A uses a similar Duo Divide split brush as in Qrevo Edge and Eufy E28, a self-empty station, and obstacle avoidance but only using structured light without a live camera.
r/RobotVacuums • I just want the best robo vac available and the research is killing me ->I have just the Q5 pro with 5500 suction. Paid $179 on Amazon. Got it because I didn't want to have to deal with expensive bags that it self empties into. Super easy to empty..just barely press button, pull out cannister and tap. Take time to brush filter or better yet blow out with compressor if available. The filter is the lifeblood of your roborock suction power. Keep it clean as possible. I don't mind cleaning myself as it literally takes 2 minutes.
r/Roborock • So thrilled with the Roborock Q5 Max+ ->Maybe every 3 cleanings and even then filter is much more dirty than cannister is full.
r/Roborock • So thrilled with the Roborock Q5 Max+ ->Are you in US? If so get Roborock Q5 pro - currently on sale for $140
r/RobotVacuums • Hi everyone, I wanted to get my sister a robot vacuum. Amazon has a lot of sales going on. Wondering if anyone has favorite brands OR brands to stay away from? ->Roborock Q5 Pro is alright for that case and very cheap as long as you're fine emptying it, filling it and rinsing it yourself.
r/RobotVacuums • Best (budget*) vacuum with mop function for small apartment ->The [Roborock Q5 Pro](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+Q5+Pro&crid=238S673WWZ5OG&sprefix=roborock+q5+pro%2Caps%2C307&linkCode=ll2&tag=sedx3d0d-20&linkId=565fcfddcf209b6758b5f878207cba93&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) is a great value-for-money robot vacuum. It offers strong suction, good navigation, and a reasonable price.
r/RobotVacuums • Overwhelmed with so many options. What's the best value-for-money robot vacuum? ->Roborock Q5. I believe the Q5 “Pro” is the only model available now and does have mopping but it’s a simple mopping feature and you don’t have to use it at all if you remove the mop. Maybe it’s not MSRP under $200 but pretty sure it’s been on sale for near $100 a few times in the last couple months. My Q5 has been going strong for about a year and a half handling everything my corgi puts out. I can hear it running on its scheduled morning clean as we speak. I have to empty it daily since I didn’t get the version with a dock.
r/puppy101 • Best Budget Robot Vacuums for Pet hair under $200 ->I just want the duo divide rollers and strong suction, the q5pro is great, but long hairs clock up and stop the rollers every second run. Roborock just seem to focus on the 20th model of mopping "gimmick" to flood the market. Most of us don't have 300m2 marble floors that require 180minutes of runtime.
r/Roborock • All I want is a kick ass VACUUM ONLY robot with the best object detection, why can't you make this? ->I have a roborock q5 pro and it can take the whole hours worth of hair easily what it takes to clean the house. It has a self emptying dock but a few times it haven’t been able to empty the bin when it gets clogged with hair.
r/germanshepherds • Robot vacuum? Best ones? ->I just got the Roborock Q5 Pro on Prime day. It ran for the first time, and it was literally packed to the gills with dust and dirt. We aren't a dirty house mind you. Ran it again and now its more normal. It integrate into home assistant super easily, and I setup and automation that anytime my wife and I are not home it vacuums. It's been great so far.
r/homeautomation • Does a Robot Vacuum Make a Difference? ->Honestly if you don't care for mopping and don't want to spend extra for mopping the Q5 Pro you had is hard to beat for the price of a little over $200. What is your budget and what are you looking for that the Q5 Pro did not give you?
r/Roborock • Best Roborock for hardwood floors? ->I second the roborock Q5 pro recommendation. I started off trying a Eufy L50 because I was able to pick it up from Walmart, it did great at everything besides getting dog hair out of my rugs. The Q5 pro does everything just a little bit better than the L50 in my opinion and I paid $50 less for it. I was somewhat shocked at how much better it was at getting hair out of my cheap door mat type rugs. I'd get the Q5 pro + (the + comes with SES) if I was you, you have over double the space as me.
r/RobotVacuums • Dog parents! What vacuum-only robot works GREAT for pet hair? ->Yep, bought one when we got our dog a year ago. Haven't run in to any issues. Our house is about 50/50 hard floors and carpet. Does a sufficient job at both and haven't had any problems with hair tangling. We set up the charging dock right next to our kitchen trash can so it takes 10 seconds to empty the bin every few days. Really like it at it's price point so if it does get destroyed by the dog, it's not a heart breaker to replace it. Plus the thing is so simple and easy to clean compared to the higher end models with a lot more mechanical parts. Big fan, highly recommend
r/Roborock • Roborock Q5 Pro for vacuum cleaning incl. dog hair ->Yep, we have the Q5. With a German Shepherd, Jack Russell and 2 cats it manages just fine. We sent it round once a day and has no issues.
r/Roborock • Roborock Q5 Pro for vacuum cleaning incl. dog hair ->I just sent it round on Max power. There’s enough battery life on one charge to do both floors of the house.
r/Roborock • Roborock Q5 Pro for vacuum cleaning incl. dog hair ->But to answer your question, look for the roborock Q5 pro+. I believe that is the auto empty robot. Maybe the Q5 Pro is cheaper and without the auto empty. Regardless, buy a refurbished one directly from roborock on eBay. It will come with 2 year warranty backed by all state. If any issues happen after the 1st year, all state will fix or refund you the entire amount you paid. This paid off for me with my previous ecovacs robot.
r/RobotVacuums • Simple robot vacuum, what to buy? ->Absolutely love my Omni S1 Pro and Q5 Pro.
r/RobotVacuums • I analyzed the 25 most recommended robot vacuums on Reddit ->The omni is excellent at mopping and cleaning, good edge clean and obstacle detection. It’s very quiet too. The Q5 is good on carpet, much cheaper but needed it for upstairs where there’s mostly carpet. The apps good on both too. I came from a 7 year old Neato D7 that had gone senile so a bit of a jump!
r/RobotVacuums • I analyzed the 25 most recommended robot vacuums on Reddit ->Im happy af with q5 pro. What i need to do is change bag once for 3-4months and that's it
r/RobotVacuums • Are robo vacuums worth it? ->My Q5 Pro sometimes could get on it, sometimes not but when it could vacuuming it was no problem.
r/RobotVacuums • Ist this carpet an issue for modern robot vacuums? ->I have the Q5 pro. I love it! I bought a Eufy and it worked like a toy, didn’t dock and had to get a refund. I don’t use the mop function since it’s upstairs in the bedroom areas. But I run it everyday multiple times a day if needed. It leaves beautiful lines, I highly recommend the Q5. My ex had sharks and went through them so quickly. Shark had to keep sending him models because they kept breaking or having errors.
r/RobotVacuums • Of these three options, which are the best for hardwood/carpet/rug combo, and pet hair? ->My ex had sharks that kept breaking. He hates them but they keep replacing them in the mail with another broken vacuum robot. I highly recommend the Q5. I have the pro without the self emptying, it’s perfect for 1,300 sq ft and two cats. I can go a week without emptying but I empty it every few days. Highly recommend the Q5
r/RobotVacuums • Of these three options, which are the best for hardwood/carpet/rug combo, and pet hair? ->There are very few sources that are reliable. Q5 Pro should perform better than Q5 on carpets thanks to the double brush which provides much better agitation. Roomba's navigation is much better than it actually seems by looking at it, and M6 yeah is one of the iRobot products with worse navigation... And most importantly, Roomba's pickup performance is miles above all other robots (unless you go with extremely expensive ones such as Dyson 360° VisNav, or discontinued ones like Electrolux Pure i9.2) so if that's factor #1, you really should keep them in consideration :)
r/RobotVacuums • Best Value for money Robot for only vacuum for ~60sqm carpeting? Anything beats the S7 vfm? ->This and a stick vac to spot clean is what I have
r/BelgianMalinois • Best robot vacuum for Pet Hair, option under $200, what's your pick? ->Roborock Q5 and elbow grease.
r/goldenretrievers • Best vacuum/ hardwood cleaner for hair? ->Source: https://preview.redd.it/7oa86gju1lkd1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e97a2bf5c350374adf879426cc6b62c41b94243
r/goldenretrievers • Best vacuum/ hardwood cleaner for hair? ->Roborock. I have a q5 and an S8 Max v ultra. Both awesome machines.
r/RobotVacuums • Overwhelmed with so many options. What's the best value-for-money robot vacuum? ->I like my roborock q5 I bought it 2 years ago for our main floor. I would take it upstairs and let it do up there also weekly. I liked it so much that I bought a qrevo(has a mop) and moved the q5 down to the basement. My basement floor is cleaned every night now. I could not be happier.
r/RobotVacuums • Best robot vacuum with no mop ->I had a roborock Q5 in my apartment. Myself and my cat. Loved it, it was fantastic. Easy to use, easy to set up custom cleans if I made a mess, and easy to set up no go zones with the app on my phone. Never had any issues with it. I have a shark now in my house, and will absolutely be replacing it with the one I used to have because I hate my shark.
r/Apartmentliving • What are the best robot vacuums you've tried - Do they really keep the apartment clean everyday? ->I had a Samsung Jetbot that broke after a year and a half, and would have cost me $150 to fix. I went back and forth on fixing it, but ultimately realized that I could buy a brand new robot for that price. The Roborock Q5 happened to be on sale for exactly that price, so I ended up buying it, and have been using it obsessively to clean up the buildup from the past several months. I didn’t realize how much dust and hair had accumulated on my carpets in that time (I live in an apartment, and don’t own another vacuum), and looking at what a difference it’s made to have a freshly-vacuumed carpet has just given me so much tranquility. I have a cat, but really the buildup had come from me, because I have long hair that tends to shed. There was literally a mouse-sized amount of hair tangled up in the side brush after running the vacuum four times, with the main rollers covered in hair. The advice that was given to me by folks in this subreddit is to make sure you get a robot with Lidar. Lidar is the mapping technology that actually allows the robovac to clean every inch of the floor. The robovacs without Lidar just kind of bounce around, and aren’t nearly as effective at cleaning because they don’t keep track of where they’ve been. They go in zig-zag patterns, and Lidar robots go back and forth. It’s more expensive, but to me the difference is worth it. I’ll also say that what convinced me to get a robovac in the first place is that someone told me it forces them to keep their floors clean. You can’t have your floors cluttered because it will block the robot and stop it from doing its job, or even get it tangled up. So that’s just one more reason to get one.
r/RobotVacuums • What's the best robot vacuum? ->I have 2 Roborock q5’s - not happy with them. Frequently get stuck on kids toys or the bottom of chairs (bottom rail is on ground at height 0.5”-1”). And the maps keep getting distorted/shifted with time.
r/RobotVacuums • Recommendation for carpet only + great object avoidance. ->What are some of the missing features? I have a Q5 and I'm curious what I'm missing out on
r/Roborock • First Robot Vacuum: Is a Q5 worth it? ->Ya it’s crazy. Yesterday I vacuumed and mopped with the Dyson and a few hours later the cats and dogs had hair everywhere. It’s nice waking up and coming home to a fully vacuumed and mopped house. These newer robots are so much better than the roombas my parents had 20 odd years ago.
r/RobotVacuums • Wirecutter says don't get a robot vacuum-mop combo. Do you agree? ->Funny I just bought a roborock q5 and its amazing. Did not expect it Actually vacuums Mapped the whole apartment in detail Cleaned carpet pretty well Dead simple Has a mop (to test out this weekend)
r/RobotVacuums • I fucking hate this thing ->Well I dont want the best mop, I wanted a simple robo vacuum....mop is bonus
r/RobotVacuums • I fucking hate this thing ->Stay away from these no-name brands. Stick with Roborock, Dreame, Eufy, Irobot, and Shark. Roborock Q5 is a great deal at the moment. The no-name brands are almost always worse in functionality, much harder to get spare brushes and filters for, impossible to get other parts for etc.
r/RobotVacuums • Hi everyone, I wanted to get my sister a robot vacuum. Amazon has a lot of sales going on. Wondering if anyone has favorite brands OR brands to stay away from? ->It'll help keep up, but no robot is going to really handle that much hair without daily or twice daily running. And you'll be emptying it a lot. The q5 is still a good performer from what I've heard and will help.
r/RobotVacuums • Hi everyone, I wanted to get my sister a robot vacuum. Amazon has a lot of sales going on. Wondering if anyone has favorite brands OR brands to stay away from? ->We have a roborock q5 I believe and I like it. When talking with a friend about them, her complaint was that it took too long and in the amount of time it took for the robot to vacuum one room, she could have done the whole downstairs. And while that is true, if that’s the complaint then she’s not doing it right. I pick up all the stuff off of the floor and run the vacuum while I do other things like fold and put away laundry, the dishes, organize rooms where the vacuum isn’t running. I find it helps keep the amount of cat hair and litter everywhere down and I like that it keeps crumbs at a minimum. Does it replace actually vacuuming? Most people say no. And if you are actually vacuuming your home currently every few days, then it’s not going to do as good of a job. But I personally was only vacuuming once every couple of weeks (I know, gross) so it’s made a big improvement in our home for sure.
r/homemaking • Best robot vacuum recommendations - Do they really ease your burden with cleaning up? ->>A deep clean should be done before using and they should be vacuuming every day or so and mopping every few days. A tiny robot cannot do what a large upright or stick vac can do. This is true, but I am always amazed how much my Roborock q5 can vacuum up
r/RobotVacuums • Wirecutter says don't get a robot vacuum-mop combo. Do you agree? ->Just the Roborock Q5, nothing more to it's name
r/RobotVacuums • Wirecutter says don't get a robot vacuum-mop combo. Do you agree? ->Just vacuum, the Q5 pro does both though I believe
r/RobotVacuums • Wirecutter says don't get a robot vacuum-mop combo. Do you agree? ->Maybe try a roborock q5? I have an old model roborock e4 or something like that has been going for years and does a good job for my corgi.
r/dogs • Seeking best Budget Robot Vacuums for Pet hair under $200 ->Of these, the worst mopping will be the Q5 and Q8 robots, which just have stationary pads attached to the back. The S8 also has a pad attached to the back, but includes a scrubbing motion via a plate that vibrates at a high speed. It's better than the Q5 and Q8. The best mopping will be on the Qrevo and Eufy X10. They have spinning mop pads, a dock which refills the water tank on the robot from its own water tank, and also cleans the pads automatically and stores the dirty water in another tank on the dock. Of the last two, each has its strengths and weaknesses. The X10 will be better at obstacle avoidance. The Qrevo is a Roborock, which has a better reputation for quality and reliability than the Eufy, and is also rated a little better than the Eufy at a lot of things: vacuuming performance, mopping performance, etc. It also can swing out one of its mop pads for better edge and corner cleaning, something the Eufy can't do. In some cases, obstacle avoidance is really critical, in which case I'd recommend the Eufy. Otherwise, the Qrevo is likely your best bet.
r/RobotVacuums • Home Depot sale. Are these a good buy? ->I just got the Roborock Q5 and it is the second best thing I've ever bought for my house! Litter robot was the first lol. It saves soooo much time and soreness and my floors are clean even when I'm exhausted! No complaints so far, it mops and vacuums and hasn't had any issues yet. We have 2 dogs and a long haired cat, and one of the dogs is a Newfoundland with an insane amount of fur!
r/ehlersdanlos • I got a robot vacuum/mop and it’s worth every penny! ->I went with the Roborock Q5 for our upstairs, it’s all carpet(except for the bathrooms). Was also looking at the eufy x8, which is only $200 right now
r/RobotVacuums • What’s the best vacuum only robot out there? ->Thanks! That’s more than one vote for the roborock Q5
r/RobotVacuums • Dog parents! What vacuum-only robot works GREAT for pet hair? ->Thanks so much! I’m comparing the Q5 models right now! What is SES?
r/RobotVacuums • Dog parents! What vacuum-only robot works GREAT for pet hair? ->That’s what I decided on! Thanks!
r/RobotVacuums • Dog parents! What vacuum-only robot works GREAT for pet hair? ->That exact Roborock is my first robot vacuum. We have two Pyrenees/Lab mix (one white, one black), and two cats. I generally schedule rooms individually after my docking station started to clog with debris and hair. The Q5 Is amazing, but it'll pickup clothes and socks if they are on the ground. Just have to make sure things are off the floor before the vacuum starts it's schedule and you're golden. I've been running the cheap Amazon special bags and filters and haven't had any issues yet.
r/RobotVacuums • Of these three options, which are the best for hardwood/carpet/rug combo, and pet hair? ->I have a q5 roborock without the self emptying dock because I think that’s a waste of money. I’m going to buy another one for my second level. It was only 150 bucks on Amazon and it has been a game changer for pet hair. I have mostly hardwood floors, a few rooms with carpet and some rugs, cleaned them all with no problems. Highly recommend
r/RobotVacuums • What’s the Best Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair? ->I bought a Roborock q5 for $140 and it has been fantastic. I must be getting old because I’ve never been this excited about a vacuum ever. The app is easy to use. The LiDAR mapping worked great, it hasn’t gotten stuck on anything. It has different levels of suction, and it changes depending on the floor type. Higher levels are louder, but it’s still not that loud. We have some pets who shed a lot and it works wonders. It does have a mop attachment but you don’t have to put it on. Mine runs once a day and cleans three rooms with hardwood floor and two rooms with carpet, and then I bring it downstairs and it does four more hardwood floor rooms. I like it so much I’m going to get another one so I don’t have to carry it downstairs. But this thing has been a game changer in a house with shedding pets.
r/RobotVacuums • What vacuums are worth getting if I don't care about mopping? ->Mine has not. When I bring it down and tell it to clean, it does a little dance to figure out where it is and then goes to work. It made a new map and it’s also saved in the app. I’ll also mention is pretty easy to clean. I did notice hair being spun around the end of the rollers but they come apart and cleaning them was a breeze. Like you can do it in less than ten seconds. I did have to take the rollers out also because a Christmas ornament my cats knocked down got stuck behind the rollers. But it still finished its cleaning cycle and went back to its dock. I only noticed because it sounded different.
r/RobotVacuums • What vacuums are worth getting if I don't care about mopping? ->I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve done extensive research and reviewed numerous sources, and I’m thoroughly impressed with my Roborock Q5. There haven’t been any complaints, and the robot is incredibly easy to disassemble, repair, and clean.
r/RobotVacuums • Overwhelmed with so many options. What's the best value-for-money robot vacuum? ->I've had the Q5 and Q8 maxand I will say the Q8 is markedly better. The "mop" on it is not really mopping, it's more like a light wipe-down with a damp rag, which is good enough for me. I don't want to deal with the added complexity and potential leakage with a true mopping setup. The app is the best I've seen so far. The Roborocks in my experience don't get stuck as much either. The navigation is more intelligent.
r/RobotVacuums • So many mixed reviews, the more I read the less I feel I know! ->Agree!!! We have an older roborock Q5 and it is still a powerhouse!!! Won’t be without one ever again
r/workingmoms • What are the best robot vacuums in your opinion - Are they really worth the money? ->Roborock q5, I believe they stopped selling the q5+ which self empties but it’s a great robot that’s cheap too
r/RobotVacuums • Best Vacuum Robot without camera / at least without remote monitoring function ->Yes it’s a great vacuum. But be aware, you’ll want to upgrade in the future. Question is if you’re okay with that.
r/Roborock • First Robot Vacuum: Is a Q5 worth it? ->Are you joking? It’s Roborock’s cheapest, least featured product. It’s missing everything. I have 2, I’m not knocking it, but there *obviously* tons of features it’s missing that OP might want.
r/Roborock • First Robot Vacuum: Is a Q5 worth it? ->Google banned in your country or something? It’s literally the most basic model.
r/Roborock • First Robot Vacuum: Is a Q5 worth it? ->This. every manufacturer is making a ton of money on mopping models so not really any reason for them to focus on vacuum only models. If I was too buy something right now and focus was NOT on active mopping I would choose the Roborock Q5 series. You'll still get the gravity mop system but no need to use it. Just be aware that in regards to software development and so on you'll probably be left behind at some point.
r/RobotVacuums • Is there high end robot vacuum without mopping? ->The Q8 already has a bit more "mop" stuff, as the water tank is internal and with the dust bin. And you can control the amount of water dispensed. The Q5 is the least "moppy" one, as the water tank gets attached to the bottom, along with the mop and there's no active water strength control.
r/Roborock • What's Roborock's best vacuum-only model for long-term use? ->I started with a dumb robot and spent a lot of time 'robot proofing' the house so it wouldn't get stuck on cords, or trying to go under sofas and dressers. Adding bumpers under couch edges, raising up furniture with foam pads so it could go under, etc. and it still got stuck somewhere random 20% of the runs. the lidar and mapping go / no go zones completely changes the ability to complete the job. That is easier than dealing with a dumb robot. My roborock S7 rarely gets stuck. A roborock Q5 is $140! You could buy a new one if it broke after warranty and it'd still be cheap.
r/RobotVacuums • Best "Dumb" and Durable Robot Vacuum? ->I got the q5 on a nice Amazon sale. I never use the mop function, only vacuum. So far it’s been great, and we have two dogs and a cat. We get the house cleaned once a week and I’ve been running the robot once a day, or couple days to keep up with it. So happy on this ourchase
r/RobotVacuums • Which one is better for dog hair? ->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.
r/Roborock • Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra Review from a 7-Cat Household ->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
r/Roborock • Upgrading from Roborock S6 MaxV – Best Model for Pet Hair? ->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
