Q7 MaxV

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.

I have a Roborock Q7 max. Totally delighted with it! I’ve schedule it to run 3x a week (M-W-F). House is clean and well dusted. It recognizes carpet and lifts itself up and stops the wet mop on carpet. It’s cool!! 😎 been using it for 3+ years now. No complaints.

Same here! I was super skeptical at first, but after moving in with two dogs (and a long-haired partner lol), I finally caved and got a Q7 Max. My experience is basically the same, keeping the floors clear made a huge difference, and regular runs pick up so much hair I didn’t even know was there. Honestly, it’s like my most-used gadget now. The self-emptying bin is a total game changer too. The first week I tried running it only once every few days and it was constantly getting overwhelmed, but switching to daily runs made everything smoother.

I can't get my q7 max to connect to my phone anymore. It's so frustrating. No issues with q5 pro, but not sure I'll go when roborock again.

Anything that can run Valetudo. I have Dreame L10s Ultra downstrairs and Roborock Q7 Max upstairs.

You have to disassemble the whole unit. Other than that, it was easy. But as the other commented, on new units it's not possible anymore.

? I've had a Q7 Max for over a year now and HA support works great for it. There **was** a brief period when Roborock changed something on the back end and it didn't work for like a week, but that's long since fixed.
