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 love mine. I love on a ranch so have soooooo much dirt and mud. I also have three kids and a husband. This helps knee down on the dirt and dust that feels overwhelming at times. I run it almost every day. It also makes you keep the floor decluttered. I’d recommend it !

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.

I got the q7 L5 and it vacuums well, I have two cats that shed quite a bit. I haven't tried the floor washing function yet, but if you're interested in a deeper wash, the model with the rotating mops is better.

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.

Canada here too. I ended up getting the Roborock Q7 L5+ from Amazon on Wednesday. For my first robot vacuum I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on case we decided it wasn’t worth it. We have vinyl plank on the main floor and thick plush carpet in the basement. And a dog that shreds. It’s been great! The mop isn’t obviously the best as it’s just wet mop that gets pulled along but by mopping a few times a week I figure that better than was I was doing before. The mapping and scheduling is super handy too.

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.

You will need a dock but it doesn't have to be a self emptying one. I have one without self emptying function. I actually specifically wanted the charging only dock because I don't want something that takes up space (I live in a 1000sqft apartment l). I don't care/need mopping function since my place is clean as it is, only gets dusty (no shoes in house, no pets/children, just 2 adults with a man that sheds lots of body hair, wooden floors throughout with a few rugs). I like using my upright steam mop for deep clean anyway (I do that every few weeks). My bot vacuums daily and I usually empty the dust bin every couple of days...but it's not even full. The first couple of runs I did had to empty more frequently, but once it got to a baseline level of clean, bin emptying isn't too bad. I would feel differently if I live in a much larger space and/or have kids/pets since they tend to make the place dirtier.

I have the Q7 L5 - dust bin capacity is 400ml. It's on sale now so it's a great deal for my needs.

I tried a Eufy one years ago and it constantly got stuck under our dining room table just spinning around aimless. Just bought a fairly inexpensive RoboRock Q7 L5 -- and it is sufficient. It's not perfect, but it doesn't get stuck and doesn't kill the bank at only $140
