I have a roborock q5+ and love it. I have 2 big, double coated dogs and it gets overwhelming. Every night before bed I tidy up my main level and run it and it empties itself (warning that part is loud). Once a week I have to maintain it which just means taking out the filter and giving it a good whack (I don't even wash it lol) and wiping it down. Couldn't be easier.

I love my Roborock Q5+ and I want to get one for my parents. I love how easy they are to maintain and how readily accessible replacement parts are when it comes to it. Filters and bags can be emptied, washed, and reused. (I have a short haired dog that sheds and my allergies have improved a lot since getting the Roborock)

I've really really liked my Roborock Q5+. It's well under 500 and I'm sure you could get a slightly better vacuum for a bit more but I'm glad I spent less, as the Q5+ covers my needs (mainly a ton of golden retriever fur). It also works well with HA, sharing maps and such.

We got a Roborock Q5+ a few months ago and I am not exaggerating when I say it’s changed our lives. It normally retails for $550 but looks like it’s on sale on their website for $370! Google “wire cutter best robot vacuums” and you’ll see the link plus a promo code. What I adore about this one is that every time he returns home, he empties his own dustbin!! The debris goes into a massive bag that you only need to change out a few times a year I believe? We have a VERY sheddy dog and kids aged 3 and 1 so the floors are regularly pretty filthy and in the few months we have had it, we still have room in the bag. The downside is that you can only buy the bags through Roborock so factor that into your budget but wow it’s an incredible feature. I also like that he automatically senses carpet/rugs and the suction increases to account for it. Also he can sense stairs (we have a split level on the ground floor) and he doesn’t fall off! The only downside (other than having to buy their specific brand of bag) is that we have a washable Ruggable rug and it doesn’t quite pick up all of the dog hair off if (but still gets a good amount). Not a huge deal since we can wash the rug, and I think you can buy a pet hair attachment.

My roborock is 3 now and i love it. I got the q5+ on a prime deal. That one does not mop and self empties. It's one of the cheaper ones. I did think it was dying but i figured out the replacement spinny side brush was a little too long and it kept tripping over itself. I cut a half inch of each of 5 rubber arms and it's great again.

Yes, robo vacuum is amazing and even my bf who hated the idea of robo vacuum caved in quickly after getting two ragdolls. However, I don't think you'll have much luck under 200$. Cheaper vacuums are usually not made to be able to handle pet hair very well. You want a vacuum with a double roller? not sure how it's called. It's better for pet hair because it doesn't get covered in the hair and stuck like the normal sucking system. Mine is Roborock Q5+, it's out of your price range but just as a reference what to look for in a robo vacuum.

We have a Roomba and a RoboRock. I highly recommend the RoboRock Q5+. It doesn’t have the wet mop feature of the Q7 but it works great with GSDs. I loathe our Roomba , it cant find its base to save its life and it is noisy as hell.

I have a gp\newfie and two golden\newfies. I have a roborock q5+ and a q revo both on a good sale on amazon. I have been happy with both. If I forget to run it one day, it will leave little hair balls but they are easy to pick up haha. Still doesn’t get deep enough though on the carpets. Had to get a Miele for that. Never had problems with the vacuum or the app had them for about two or three years now. Replacement parts are easy to get. The Q5+ was 300 and the Revo was 650. If you have a high pile carpet it does okay but low it’s good at.

I've had mine for longer. Even got a Q5+ secondhand without issues. They're the only ones that can navigate my house without getting stuck unless they eat a cable by accident. I'd get replacement parts ASAP as it's best to buy them from aliexpress.

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.

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

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.

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.

>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

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.
