I’ve been using Roborock Q5 pro which is within your mentioned budget.Quite good for vacuuming as an entry level robot.btw i got it for $124 (from japan).it has dual rollers,large dustbin ,good battery backup and very good mapping.Only downside is mopping.

Depois de adoptar a minha cadela Camila comprei um porque largava muito, muito pêlo. Foi a melhor compra do ano e mudei de casa em fevereiro. Poupo muitas horas de trabalho e dinheiro. Nunca usei em carpetes porque ainda nem os comprei. xD Funciona bem em mármore, azulejo e madeira. Aconselho o Roborock Q5 Pro. Vem com mopa e não é daqueles monstros que chamam muito á atenção.

Picked up an S1 Pro about a month ago ( < $600.00 price mistake... bragging). It's my first roller mop and it does absolutely great cleaning and navigating on my hardwood/LVP.  I agree about carpet. That's why I've kept my Roborock Q5 pro. It vacuums really well. The 'win/win' is this lets me keep the Eufy vacuum setting on low and that helps with battery life. I run the Q5 pro first and after it cleans one room, I have the Eufy follow always one hardwood/LVP room behind the Roborock. Lastly the Q5 pro will vacuum my carpeted rooms while the S1 pro is finishes on the hardwood/LVP. This works out well. I've found except for inner corners the Eufy does well getting under kickplates. And luckily it has not leaked like I've read on other posts when I was researching. For mopping, compared to the Dreame L20 Ultra's it mops significantly more dirt. Never going back to mop pads.  Given the posts on Robot Vacuums detailing problems with the new roller/vacs by Mova and Narwal and Dreame I'd wait a good while to see if bugs can be worked out with firmware software and how these robots will hold up after a good six months on the market. The added bonus of waiting is prices usually come down.

Vi kjøpte S50 eller noe sånn i 2019 for cirka 3000. Fungerer som bare pokker. Byttet en sensor i fjor, kostet 55kr. I dag ville jeg kjøpt Roborock Q5 Pro, koster cirka det samme. Men har støtt for flere etasjer og børste du ikke må krangle med når den skal rengjøres.

Based on what you shared, I would rank them like this: Roborock Q5 Pro then Q7 M5 then Q10 S5. I put the Roborock Q5 Pro first because of its High suction (5,500 Pa) great for feathers, pellets, dust. No frills — mopping is minimal, which suits your needs. Simple, affordable, and reliable navigation. Handles small obstacles if floor is mostly tidy. And it is within your budget. Q7 M5 is Decent unit but lower suction, older motor design. Mop lift is nice but you don’t care for mopping. Usually more expensive than Q5 Pro despite less suction. Q10 S5 is a Great vacuum, strong suction and smarter sensors. But unless on big discount, it’s outside your budget. You will have to pick up small toys regularly if you go with Q5 Pro since it doesn’t have advanced AI object avoidance like the Q10. If you're okay with buying used or refurbished, the Q10 S5 may be a killer deal if found under €280. If you have more specific needs, [this comparison](https://technoranks.com/compare-products/?compareids=1969,2343,2342,1931) table would help. Good luck.

The amount of hair my roborock Q5 Pro+ Robot Vacuum picks up has completely taken over all our vaccuming minus stairs. 100% would recommend with the auto empty dock. The app is easy to use and setup rooms, the dual brush design also makes it super simple to clean.

Another Roborock. I wanted something cheap to try so I only got the Q5 Pro. I purposely not getting the mopping since I like to manually spray different cleaner and change a microfiber mop pad after every use. I might be lazy but this thing really save me from mental breakdown with a toddler at home. I run it twice a week on a high traffic area then mop. I never bought a "good" vaccum so I can't really tell the difference. Maybe a bit cat fur flying? We are also a shoe off house with zero carpet and only couple rugs. The only issue is that recently it started to disconnect itself (twice only) and since our moderm can't change the frequency manually it was an headach until I figure it out on my phone last time. If I'm getting another one, I'm going with Roborock

The roborock Q5 Pro+ is a popular model that seems to last rather long with proper care. The dual rubber brushes do best to pick up fur and hair, especially on carpets, and will best resist tangles.

If I were you, I’d spend a bit more for a combo and look for a reliable and good vacuum only model for the top carpet only floor which is generally cheaper than a combo model. I’d also consider the dreame L40S Pro Ultra (£799) is going to be better for heavy fur shedders since it has the onboard fur compression feature which works when it’s vacuuming to best utilize the dustbin’s space that has a volume of 395mL. The dual brushes mean it’s better for fur pickup on carpets but won’t be as good for just vacuuming carpets compared to vacuum only models . The E25 will be better for raw mopping performance which is better suited for homes with more hard floors than carpet. The E25 will also be a good option for the bottom floor. I’d get something like a cheap second hand roomba or a roborock Q5 or Q8 with or without an autoempty station for the upper floor.

Vacuum only: roborock q5 or q8 max+ or the switchbot k10+ with a tangle resistant all rubber brush. Vacuum and mop combo: MOVA P10 Pro ultra at 399 (I think on Amazon US). This is a de facto last gen flagship and the antitangle TriCut brush (may ship in a bundle or needs to be bought separately from MOVA/dreame but AliExpress resellers can be cheaper) worked great with my long fur corgi’s fur and tumbleweeds. This one is least likely to get stuck compared to the previous options. Compared to other vacuum and mop combos under 400 which are solid budget robots, the p10 pro ultra blows them out of the water. As for the curved legs, I think the MOVA may at first try to ride up them then eventually learn how to properly avoid them. I have the MOVA V50 ultra and after it humped tripod legs on the first day, it was able to “learn” how to smoothly follow the tripod legs and avoid riding up on them on the third day (second day produced mixed results).

That’s fair! My home simply is fur mayhem so I love the autoemptying. Check out the roborock q5 or q8 without an autoempty dock.
