Ho il RR flow e il Narwal flow2, 2 cani con tanto pelo, piastrelle e parquet e un solo tappeto. Il RR è più affidabile e preciso in generale ma più basico e per avere un buon risultato nel lavaggio occorre farlo tornare a pulire il rullo ogni 10 minuti altrimenti lascia le righe, e con un po' manutenzione manuale. Il flow2 lava i pavimenti come nessun altro ma sul mio tappeto è un disastro, ha IA ma non è il massimo però è il massimo per la poca manutenzione manuale, ha tanti sistemi automatici che funzionano molto bene.

Roborock q7 max with mop and dock  The dock is must have. Empty every second month.  Having clean kitchen and living floors is AMAZING. I run it after every meal as one of the kids makes a lot of mess.

If the Roborock has LIDAR (should have a short tower in the middle), then get that one. The G50 doesn't, and some kind of LIDAR is going to be better.

It's very likely that no Roborock currently on sale is supported by Valetudo. The page mentions the Q7 Max, but also points out that recent Q7 models have changed something that makes the rooting process not work.

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+.

My s5 started getting lost during runs last year and I replaced it with a q7 m5. I feel like it kinda sucks, no pun intended. It takes longer and it gets caught on things and the brush guard comes off a few times a week. Since you have multiple: Have you bought a s5 recently and is it working well?

Awesome score, congrats! Roomba sucks (no pun). They used to be a leader in the space but skated on name recognition for too long while the Chinese brands swooped in and started kicking their ass. Last I heard they're really struggling and close to bankruptcy. I absolutely adore my cheapo Roborock, it's amazing and I wish I'd gotten it sooner but I was hesitant to get a robot because of all the shit people had to say about Roombas. Shark can be hit or miss these days I've heard. Hope it fulfills all your wildest home cleanliness dreams!

I have the Q7 Max. No bells nor whistles but does an excellent job cleaning up after three inconsiderate cats and their messy human.

I run a Roborock Q7 Max daily (vacuum only, not mopping) on similar flooring with 3 dogs. It’s fantastic for staying on top of all the shed hair—runs every day at 3pm, auto-empties, and I come home to clean, hair-free floors. My fiancée uses the mopping feature weekly. Personally, I find it just okay… it saves me from mopping the whole house but still requires spot-mopping visibly dirty areas. Of course, we still do occasional full vacuuming (lots of rugs), but the Roborock is surprisingly effective on hair, crumbs, and dust. I used to be anti-robovac after owning a couple weak (comparatively) ones a decade ago, but the tech has seriously improved. Side note since you have cats: I’m paranoid about dog smell with three in the house, so I went deep into the air purifier subreddit and bought a few. They’ve cut down dust and dander, and trusted friends say the house smells great.
