"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"I absolutely do not regret buying the robot vacuum. ... My room is a lot cleaner and dust-free now, and I can tell just by wiping my floor with a wet toilet paper and seeing barely anything picked up. ... I've been getting allergens a ton less, most of which not even in my room. ... All this for the commitment of a weekly emptying is miles more convenient than vacuuming traditionally, as opposed to making a few taps on my phone. ... looking back it was definitely worth the investment."
"My cat has very bad mite allergies, and this vacuum is a must have for us for keeping the floors clean of all dust, dander, and dirt."
"The second floor of my house is all carpeted, and I used to clean with a Dyson V8, but since I got the E28, I haven't vacuumed myself."

"It picks up all the cat fur, all the dog fur, all the litter, all the human hair."
"I have one teenager who’s messy and a dog who sheds like it’s her job. It’s been a game changer."
"I’ve seen on the camera the poor guy making multiple trips to self empty while in one room but it’s cut the hair buildup tenfold."

"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."
"splurge for the self emptying because if you have to empty it every time you're less likely to use it. We only have to empty ours like once a month and I have a 14mo and a 3yo who drop crumbs everywhere. ... we have a Shark with a large self emptying bin and that thing is great for the price point."

"watching it move right up to furniture but not quite touch it"

"it's also the only robovac I've ever had that ran over dog poop..."
"It gives up quickly and does not map well. ... For example, first time out, it was unable to leave the kitchen. ... So it mapped the kitchen and a space outside the kitchen that it could see was called a room. But it was only able to see 30% of the actual room. ... It did not update the map as the dreame would each run. ... Sent out for a remap. Got the center room and failed to get the hallway that did not have a threshold to cross, got 20% of another room it could't get in and didn't place a wall where there was a wall."
"my Qrevo Edge was not able to avoid some cables or other things like small pet toys my puppy would bring out at times. ... Once it even ran over a little log (of shit) my puppy left out for it which caused me to have to open it up and clean it out."

"it is also way more prone to tracking pet messes about, that happened once with a pile of cat vomit and I was a little traumatized."
"if you take if off the dock yourself it loses the mop function unless you restart it literally 10 times"
"for the love of God please don get a roomba combo model. They don work… ever."

"It ’s super loud ... Noise at least on hardwood is easily double the qrevo"
"Roborocks are way too noisy to run at night."
"I don’t run it very often because the sound makes my dog bark so I have to only run it when the dog isn’t in the house, which isn’t that often"

"I can't get my q7 max to connect to my phone anymore. ... It's so frustrating."
"I have to use google assistant to schedule run times. If I use the app, it runs whenever it wants ... That’s exactly what’s happening with mine."
"And right after 1 year, the WiFi dropped all of a sudden. And I can’t get it to connect to my network. Tried everything."

"The first brush was cut in two by long hairs that we don’t remove often enough"
"because i have very long hair and they clog up the rollers of the Q7 often"
"Just make sure you clean it at least every 2-3 weeks, because hairs get stuck everywhere inside, but if you use auto-clean mode, it does 90% of the job already, but still some hair might be stuck."
Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.
r/CleaningTips • Which robot vacuum is really GOOD at handling PET HAIR? ->I’ve got the Roborock Q7 Max, one of the cheaper Roborock models. Seems the main difference is that the fancier models do better mopping, which I believe - old mate basically just drags a wet cloth around behind himself 😆 The vacuuming is great though and I love the auto empty.
r/homeassistant • What's the best robot vacuum and mop IYO? Is it really worth its expensive price tag you paid? ->We have the roborock q7+ max and it is the best thing we’ve bought for our house. 2 dogs (1 is a German shepherd), a cat, and a baby. Can’t go wrong with a roborock and can’t beat the price.
r/CleaningTips • What's the best robot vacuum for pet hair widely loved and highly recommended by Homeowners today? ->My roborock q7 runs every time we leave the house and comes back home when we do if its not already there
r/homeassistant • Robot Vacuum with good integration? ->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.
r/workingmoms • What's considered the best Robot Vacuum Value for Money rn in your opinion? ->We got the Q7, it is a vacuum and mop. I got it on prime day in 2024 for $219
r/workingmoms • What's considered the best Robot Vacuum Value for Money rn in your opinion? ->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!
r/AmazonVine • Told myself I'd never buy another robot vacuum.. Now I don't need to! ->I have the Q7 Max. No bells nor whistles but does an excellent job cleaning up after three inconsiderate cats and their messy human.
r/AmazonVine • Told myself I'd never buy another robot vacuum.. Now I don't need to! ->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.
r/VacuumCleaners • What’s actually worth it for hardwood floors? Tineco? Roborock? Or something else? ->Roborock Q7 Max. Haven’t used our normal vacuum since we bought it 1,5 years ago. No pets but long hair. The first brush was cut in two by long hairs that we don’t remove often enough, but a replacement was cheap. The mop function is ok. Had a dumb one before that didn’t map our home and this is vastly better. Our home is always clean.
r/Apartmentliving • What are the best robot vacuums you've tried - Do they really keep the apartment clean everyday? ->I wanted to update that I've gone ahead and purchased the l40 ultra however I'm noticing that it's vacuum and capability is not so good as compared to my old Q7 Max Plus. I have also ordered the QV35A which I will be comparing with and returning the one that I don't like. I do have a question though, I'm trying to figure out how to mop my second floor since my robot lives on my first floor. I have seen posts where people said to manually trigger the wash mop function and then take the robot to the second floor but that leaves a question if the water tank would also be refilled so that the robot is making sure to keep the mop wet? Do you happen to know? Would love to hear thoughts and Ideas
r/RobotVacuums • Need a robot vacuum and mop combo help ->Valetudo has been a great solution for me. What I did was found their list of supported robots and researched from there. I found a roborock q7 max+ (or something like that), installled valetudo, and connected to HASS. It has its own Web UI, but works with HASS through MQTT
