Q7 MaxV

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.

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.

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.
