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.

Carpet? Get the highest suction you can, with dual rubber rollers. Normal brush rollers will just get wrapped with fur, but the rubber ones never have that issue. My Roborock q5+ does a great job.

Roborock Q5+ if you want pure vacuum power. It is great for pet hair, smart nav, no mop nonsense. If you want mop too, Q Revo or Dreame L20 Ultra, but vacuum takes a slight hit.

Roomba 105 said “docking? never heard of her.” If nav + no-go zones matter, go Roborock Q5 for laser brain, pet-hair beast. Shark Matrix is better than old Shark, but still a bit lost sometimes. Just pick the smart one.

I have a Roborock Q5+, which is self-emptying. I think it was about $350 on sale. I love it! It was probably my best purchase of last year. I run it every single day. Does it take care of all of my dog's hair? No, I still need to vacuum once a week or so. But is it way better than nothing? Yes. It probably does better with short hair than long (luckily my dog is short-haired). What it really has trouble with is my own shoulder-length hair, which just gets wrapped around the brush. So I can see not liking it as much if you have an Afghan hound or some other breed with luscious, flowing locks.

I can't speak to the Roomba, but I have the Roborock Q5+ and love it. I have about a 50/50 split of hard floor and carpet and it works well on both. It transitions from one surface type to another with no problem either. If you run the vacuum enough even pet hair shouldn't be a problem. I'd suggest doing a manual first sweep/vacuum to get a good chunk swept up first. Then run the robot vacuum frequently.

Yes! My entire downstairs is hardwood and tile. Vacuuming and mopping works well on both. I have it do two passes, so it makes a checkered pattern. So even if it misses something the first time, it'll usually pick it up the second pass. I have two Roborocks, a Slim and a Q5+.

My old Neatos, and Dreametech clone were fine with dog and cat hair, sure it caught a lot of it in the brushes, but that was easy to cut it out of. I never had "hair cutting through the brushes". Neato had a "pet hair" specific brush that they all came with, I never used the non-specific one. Dreametech clone's brush is same. Just use a knife or the cutting tool that is included with most new vacuums to cut it out occasionally (i have an alexa reminder setup for every wednesday to remind me to do it)

Whirlpool’s solid and reliable, especially for dryers. Samsung/LG are flashy but can be hit or miss and LG is usually better of the two. For robot vacs, check out Roborock Q5+ or S7+..it is great with hair, better than Ecovacs IMO. Stick to budget-friendly, easy-to-move stuff since it’s a rental.

Roborock q5+ with dock. Split the room into two separate rooms and schedule the cleanings separately. This means it goes back and cleans out the bin before starting the next one. Also run it every day these are machines designed to run each day. Have a husky that sheds so much....this one has worked. We got the q5+ because it doesn't have mopping, something we didn't need. Instead it has a slightly expanded dust bin.

Hey I made a comment earlier and wanted to expand on it a bit more. We've bought two refurbished roborock vacuums and both have been great (basic Q5+ since we have carpet on two floors). Ebay is currently having a sale on refurbished roborocks Roborock Q Revo - $343.99 with coupon code MEMORIALDEALS (ends may 26th) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/404828308363 Roborock Q7 Max+ - $247.99 with coupon code MEMORIALDEALS (end may 26th) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/404335248662 If you can swing the Q Revo, it would be best, otherwise get the Q7 Max+ Both can be returned for a full refund within 30 days, and both come with a two year warranty otherwise.

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.

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.

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.

Really? I have two Roborocks Q5s and they are definitely inferior to iRobot’s S9 which I also have. Worse mapping, worse suction by far. The Q5 struggles with any elevation differences: it struggles to get over thin rugs or floor transition strips. That said, I got the Q5 at a cheap price and it’s been OK. I would just rather the S9 if the price was equal. Of course, Roomba has its own problems.

I would recommend Roborock Q5+ Pro it has self emptying dock you just need to change vacuum bags when it's full. I have 2 cats and before I got mine I had to vacuum every single day. And after I started using it there's no hair on the floors, and it's also really good on the carpets. It deals with long hair well not getting tangled on the rollers. Also Roborock's app is the best in the business you got various of features you can choose to get the most of your robot. Q5+ pro is not really made for mopping even though it has that ability, but I only care about vacuuming since I mop myself anyways. And it has no obstacle avoidance but if you pick stuff up from floors that can be sucked up you got nothing to worry about, obstacle avoidance has gotten overrated imo some more expensive models with that function still sucks things up as it's no guarantee. Save some extra bucks and go with the Q5+ pro. Hope this helps:) Cute puppy btw

I find the roborock far superior than roomba (and i think it might be cheaper). I have 2 and one of them is self emptying and mops very well (q5 plus). It hoovers very well and it helps to decrease the amount of dog fur from my dog (that sheds a lot) You can disconnect the mop from the vacuum.. you don’t have to use the mopping function (even though it’s pretty great). Next one I’ll get will be the roborock qrevo because its mopping skills are superior.

Older roombas are simple, reliable, durable, effective, and cheap. But they don't have smart navigation or mapping where you can ask them to clean specific areas. If you want navigation they become less cheap and less durable. I have a 10yo 600 series roomba and a new Roborock Q5. Q5 is great but I'm skeptical that it's going to last as long.

great news! Almost ANY roborock you get (for that matter, any robot) is going to far surpass your i7 experience. I would not grab the Q5, TBH. There is, actually a very big difference between $500 and $1000 robots, but if I may recommend... I'd say the best CURRENT value on a Roborock is the Curv/Edge, the S8 MaxV Ultra and the QRevo MaxV. While the Saros are great... I don't think they're better \*enough\* than the models listed about to justify the price. Also, I'd wait for Prime Day, regardless. Also, I test robots for a living for Lifehacker, and am not sponsored by anyone, and test robots in my very real house.

aroha93 • 5 months 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.

Dirks_Knee • 10 months ago

I've owned a few, my experiences with different brands in order of ownership: Neato - My first and way ahead of it's time. I loved this vacuum, it had lidar way before the rest of the competition. Didn't save maps but navigated the house systemically and did a great job cleaning. Lasted from 2013 until 2019. I wish this company had continued to improve their product lines but they've sky rocketed in price compared to their competition without really adding new features. ECOVACS DEEBOT- The shortest lived vacuum I owned, less than 6 months. Piece of shit. iRobot Roomba 960 - Had it from 2019 until 2023. Claimed to map rooms but it didn't really short battery life forced it to recharge at least 1 time and often 2 while cleaning my home. Honestly...I didn't care for this vacuum and was happy when it died as it was the perfect height to get itself stuck under my kitchen cabinets in 1 spot nearly every time it ran. Claimed to map rooms but just did the iRobot crash into things random path thing. Shark RV2502AE - It was good...until it wasn't when the lidar died, just over 6 months in 2023. I bought it new off Amazon, but Shark claim it was refurbished, the refurbisher claimed it was out of warranty, and Amazon is impossible to get someone on the phone with any real power to fix things. Even beyond those issues, the app was wonky and always very slow to connect. I will never buy another Shark product after that experience and I was almost to the point of giving up on robot vacuums. Roborock Q5 - Current, had it for almost a year. It's a great vacuum so far. It cleans quick and is smart enough to know when it hits rugs/carpet so kicks in extra power at those points. It did get stuck once under my bed, but I've since used the app to make it a no go zone and never had another issue with that. My 1 issue with it is not with the vacuum but it's empty dock design. The bags do not seal perfectly allowing some dust to escape which will clog a vent preventing proper emptying. Not a huge deal as...well it still can run 5+ times without needing it cleaned out. I bought an extended warranty with this one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

FoxyLoxy56 • 8 months ago

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

For the record - I recently bought Roborock Q5, and I'm pretty disappointed. Carpet everywhere. It performs as good or a bit worse that the first version of the Xiaomi Vac Robot. The only improvement is the app.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.
