Roborock - Q7 L5+

Go with the Roborock Q7 L5, It’s $250 (CAD), it doesn’t have the auto-emptying charging base but it has all the other leading features and a mop feature too, which makes it very dependable without spending $500>

I have a five year old Roborock and recommend this brand. There are a number of models, but the non-self-emptying ones seem to be a current bargain. Q7 M5 40% off for $179 at Amazon makes me want to get a second one (the M5 has more suction power than the L5)

I have a Narwal and a Roborock. Wanted to try different brands. We use the Narwal Z10 for mopping and it's great. Sometimes has hiccups where it slams on the breaks every 5 feet (like it detects something that isnt there), but restarting it fixes it. The roborock is a cheaper model, Q7 L5+, but just used for vacuuming, also does an amazing job vaccuuming pet hair especially at the price point.

Q7 is outdated.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.

That's not the point. Roborock has been supported well for ages, although somewhat inofficially. People are buying Roborock vacuums because you could trust them in being supported. Now there's two new models where they messed with the API for no good reason.

Your Edge C doesn't have the API issue. Affected models are Q7 L5/M5 and Q10.

I got the Roborock Q7 L5 recently, I didn't want to spend a lot because I was skeptical but honestly, it's been great! I run it every day or two, it vacuums everything and then I run it again with the mop. It's not perfect but it saves so much time and hassle.

I had the similar criteria and am happy with Q7 L5. Got it on sale for $230CAN. It was on sale for $199CAN on Prime Day but thought it was worth the $ I paid and didn't bother returning and repurchasing or ask Amazon for a price match. It has passive mopping feature but I don't use it. My floor is already clean and I like steam mopping to keep it clean. I find it interesting how people keep making recommendations about mopping feature even when the person explicitly stated it isn't what they want/need.

The reliability is also related to the brand reputation. I have a budget Roborock Q7 and for me budget model means cheap enough to be replaced if it's broken in 2 to 3 years. Try to find a model where you can easily find replacement spare parts and you can service it by yourself.

It's decent if it's used for a small room like a dorm and has no carpet at all. I have Xiaomi E5 alongside Dreame F9 and Roborock Q7, it did quite well picking up dust on hard floor (not carpet obviously). But, the less efficient gyroscope navigation drains the battery more than my F9 and Q7, and takes half an hour to clean my small studio-size dorm. My Q7 takes only 15 minutes, F9 is 20 to 30 minutes, and E5 takes 30 to 40 minutes.

Based on your needs, Sados 10r is an overkill except you are planned to move into larger place in the next months. For Roborock, if you don't mind washing and changing the mop pad before every mopping session, you can go with Q7 M5/L5/TF with + designation for auto empty station. The Q10 S5+/X5+ gives more features above Q7 like obstacle avoidance sensor, vibrating mop pad and lifting mop pad unlike passive mop like in Q7. If you need a bit more automation, you can spend a little more on QV35A/QV35S (different only in suction power 8000Pa vs 10000Pa), and Qrevo S (7000Pa but come with warm air mop drying unlike ambient temperature drying in QV35). The QV35 has other names in some regions called Qrevo L. For Dreame, you can go with their D9 Max Gen 2 (no auto-empty dock), D10 Plus Gen 2 (with auto-empty dock), D20 Pro Plus (upgraded from D10 with more features like obstacle avoidance, extendable side brush, dual roller main brush great for anti tangle, and 13000Pa suction). There's also D20 Plus with almost similar specs to D20 Pro Plus but without the extendable side brush for corner cleaning and obstacle avoidance sensor. If you need a bit automation, there is D20 Ultra (offered in certain regions), L10s Ultra, L10s Ultra Gen 2, and so on. There's also Mova (Dreame's cheaper sub-brand) with S10 (cousin to D9), E30 Ultra for a bit more automation but cheap (cousin to D20 Ultra), S20 Ultra, or P10 Pro Ultra. You could also try to check Xiaomi's robots if available in your place. Their customer service is mostly decent and their robot is designed by Dreame using Dreame's older design and sold at cheaper and competitive price than Roborock, Dreame, and Mova.

I love our Roborock (bought in Amazon, I’ll look at what model and price it was) but it was huge pain to get on our wifi. My husband did it and was super annoyed.

We got the Q7, it is a vacuum and mop. I got it on prime day in 2024 for $219

My roborock q7 runs every time we leave the house and comes back home when we do if its not already there

I got the Q7 for $250 so $1800 seems absolutely insane to me but do you boo

I just got the Roborock Q7 and I love it! It also mops and is quieter than my roomba. It’s not totally quiet but my roomba was distracting when I was working while this one is not Edit: I should also add that the white one is on sale on Amazon for about $350 which is a steal considering it self empties, vacuums and mops. Before the black one was on sale so make sure to check the different color options for what is the best price currently!

In bezit van een Roborock Q7 met volledig station om je stofzuiger in te legen. Dweilen stelt niks voor, maar het stofzuigen gaat meer dan prima. Heb nog een Dyson voor de trap en de rest doet de Roborock. Goede app en gaat al een aantal jaar steady mee hier. Erg blij mee

The q7 is mostly vacuuming focused, the previous model puts a bit more focus on mopping. If you want a more vacuum only focused bot too there’s also the switchbot k10+ Amanda mentioned which I also think is a good choice for a vacuum only robot.

Getting a robot vac as a suplement to perform a daily sweep and help keep on top of the floors can be helpful ideal. Replacing a normal upright entirely with a robot is not such a good idea. No robot can match the rug cleaning performance and power of a normal vac, they can't reach a lot of spots or vacuum furniture and corners either. I would always recommend having a normal vac around for deeper cleaning. Robot vacs do require maintenance themselves especially if long hair is involved. The rollers, even "anti tangle" ones accumulate hair in the brush roller ends which need to be cleared out regularly, on top of the regular filter cleaning and emptying. Plus they can struggle if cords, sock, and pet toys are laying around. All that said and if you think the maintainence won't be a burden, I'd look at the roborock q7 and q10 series of models. I've had relatively good luck with robotock machines, and they should help keep up with the floors. I wouldn't pay much attention to mopping functions either. Usually they're more work than help.

Please dont buy an roomba maybe an refurbished roborock they also haf great quality and longeity. Maybe an s7 ore the q8 q7 q5

My answer is whatever you can install Valetudo on it. It's fantastic having a robot vacuum where the entire management of the robot, is on the robot. Internet goes out? No worries, everything still works. I wasn't sure what to expect when I got into the mod (on a Roborock Q7) but I'm really happy with it.

The Q7 only has 4200 pascals of suction and I believe is on close out. The Q5 and Q8 both have 5500 pascals of suction.

I got Q7 roborock. It was amazing for a few months but now everytime I turn it on it says "error 2 bumper stuck" I tried to fix it but no luck. It is useless now and I feel scammed.

I have the Roborock Q7 and bought it on sale due to the wonderful recommendations from here. I have two dogs and too many cats. I love this thing! If I ever have to buy a new one I will pay the dollars for the latest Roborock!

The chair legs are 300mm and cat hair is everywhere, that's why :) Small base like the new q7 is adequate.

I love my Roborock Q7

RoboRock has some awesome sales on Amazon right now and I have yet to see negativity about their products. My Q7 just arrived today.

Not comparable.

I’ll give you an explanation since you seem interested. Anything roborock will be subpar. Contrary to what these marketers will tell you. You can buy the x30 or x40 I think x40 is sold out. Or even l10s ultra for the same price and the tech is SOOOO much better. I will never go back to roborock. I had a q7 and I paid 400$ for it. I swore by roborock I bought 2 other robots trying to fill the void. I randomly bought a dreame on eBay for 799$ (x40 ultra) because it had a warranty. It cleans better avoids objects. Is smart. Bigger battery. Better pickup. Better mopping makes my house smell good I got a huge tank of solution and it dispenses on the mop pads. Roborock owners will tell u that the solution in the water of the revo is better. I can smell the difference between the mopping on dreams my house is beautiful and smells clean. Roborock never did that.

Yea.. didn’t fit my needs. 2k was the price of all the roborocks not the dreame.. The dreame was 800$ on eBay

This and a stick vac to spot clean is what I have

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!

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

Ich sehe das ein wenig anders als die meisten Kommentare: kein Staubsaugerroboter zu besitzen ist schlimm. Irgendeinen Staubsaugerroboter zu nutzen sind 80%. Hauptsache ist, der Roboter lässt sich programmieren, findet seine Ladestation und läuft regelmäßig. Teurere Modelle zu kaufen schließt dann irgendwann die Lücke, die man ab und an noch selber saugen muss, je weiter man an 100% will, umso mehr kostet es im Zweifel. Ich hatte schon verschiedenste Modelle, habe im Keller einen Chaosrobo, im Erdgeschoss einen Roborock mit Absaugstation und oben einen Eufy. Eufy wäre mein Preis-/Leistungstipp.

So an unknown brand just came out with a fairly pedestrian robot with stationary-pad mopping, and it has a higher rating than some of the highest-regarded robots on the market? Nope. If you really need mopping on a budget, take a look at the Dreame D10+, Eufy L60 Hybrid, or one of the Roborock Q series robots. For a big improvement in mopping for not much more money, look at the Eufy C20 or Dreame L10s Ultra series. Mova can be good, if they've solved their problem with fragile front wheels. If you don't care about mopping, look at the Eufy L60 SES or SwitchBot K10+.

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

I saw recommendations for the Roborock vacuums. Having used it for 2 days, it's been solid, and the new Q-series does seem to work well with the native homeassistant plugin.

Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.

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.

I have an expensive roborock and it's great. It's the self emptying one, was like $1k on sale last year. Wait till November/Black Friday sale and they are 30-50% off regular price. Can definitely find a good one within your budget

I bought a barely used self-emptying Roborock on Facebook marketplace a few months ago and it is hands down one of the best purchases/decisions I’ve ever made. One dog and a cat and I was losing my mind trying to keep up with my floors.

For the price (£250) I am very impressed with mine. Its got LiDAR, a mop, empties itself, etc. Its really neat to watch on the app as it goes about your house and maps it out. Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle. Definitely does not replace vacuuming as a whole though as it just cant physically get into the corners, and the vacuum itself isnt enough to really suck stuff out of the carpet, more just pick up things on top. I treat it more like a broom than anything else, but having a pet it helps me keep on top of things.

I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
