Roborock - Q7B

I have the Q7B. Despite good enough specs IMO it just feels cheaper. In real world it gets stuck a lot more frequently than my 3 other robot vacuums (combination of Roborock and Dreame) Mopping setup is more annoying than the others also but functionally is as good (bad) Would say that the firmware has updated a couple of times and it seems to function better, get stuck less, so maybe long term it’ll be ok but not ready to call it yet.

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.

We got the Q7, it is a vacuum and mop. I got it on prime day in 2024 for $219

My roborock q7 runs every time we leave the house and comes back home when we do if its not already there

I got the Q7 for $250 so $1800 seems absolutely insane to me but do you boo

I just got the Roborock Q7 and I love it! It also mops and is quieter than my roomba. It’s not totally quiet but my roomba was distracting when I was working while this one is not Edit: I should also add that the white one is on sale on Amazon for about $350 which is a steal considering it self empties, vacuums and mops. Before the black one was on sale so make sure to check the different color options for what is the best price currently!

In bezit van een Roborock Q7 met volledig station om je stofzuiger in te legen. Dweilen stelt niks voor, maar het stofzuigen gaat meer dan prima. Heb nog een Dyson voor de trap en de rest doet de Roborock. Goede app en gaat al een aantal jaar steady mee hier. Erg blij mee

The q7 is mostly vacuuming focused, the previous model puts a bit more focus on mopping. If you want a more vacuum only focused bot too there’s also the switchbot k10+ Amanda mentioned which I also think is a good choice for a vacuum only robot.

Getting a robot vac as a suplement to perform a daily sweep and help keep on top of the floors can be helpful ideal. Replacing a normal upright entirely with a robot is not such a good idea. No robot can match the rug cleaning performance and power of a normal vac, they can't reach a lot of spots or vacuum furniture and corners either. I would always recommend having a normal vac around for deeper cleaning. Robot vacs do require maintenance themselves especially if long hair is involved. The rollers, even "anti tangle" ones accumulate hair in the brush roller ends which need to be cleared out regularly, on top of the regular filter cleaning and emptying. Plus they can struggle if cords, sock, and pet toys are laying around. All that said and if you think the maintainence won't be a burden, I'd look at the roborock q7 and q10 series of models. I've had relatively good luck with robotock machines, and they should help keep up with the floors. I wouldn't pay much attention to mopping functions either. Usually they're more work than help.

Q7 is outdated. Q5 is the better and even cheaper successor. Don't be fooled by the "5" vs. "7". Q8 is the same as Q5 but with obstacle avoidance. Q7 and Q5 have none. Still don't trust the Q8 avoiding pet waste. It works most of the time but never risk an accident. With the idea of running 2x a day the "+" dock is surely a must-have.

Please dont buy an roomba maybe an refurbished roborock they also haf great quality and longeity. Maybe an s7 ore the q8 q7 q5

My answer is whatever you can install Valetudo on it. It's fantastic having a robot vacuum where the entire management of the robot, is on the robot. Internet goes out? No worries, everything still works. I wasn't sure what to expect when I got into the mod (on a Roborock Q7) but I'm really happy with it.

The Q7 only has 4200 pascals of suction and I believe is on close out. The Q5 and Q8 both have 5500 pascals of suction.

I got Q7 roborock. It was amazing for a few months but now everytime I turn it on it says "error 2 bumper stuck" I tried to fix it but no luck. It is useless now and I feel scammed.

The reliability is also related to the brand reputation. I have a budget Roborock Q7 and for me budget model means cheap enough to be replaced if it's broken in 2 to 3 years. Try to find a model where you can easily find replacement spare parts and you can service it by yourself.

It's decent if it's used for a small room like a dorm and has no carpet at all. I have Xiaomi E5 alongside Dreame F9 and Roborock Q7, it did quite well picking up dust on hard floor (not carpet obviously). But, the less efficient gyroscope navigation drains the battery more than my F9 and Q7, and takes half an hour to clean my small studio-size dorm. My Q7 takes only 15 minutes, F9 is 20 to 30 minutes, and E5 takes 30 to 40 minutes.

I have the Roborock Q7 and bought it on sale due to the wonderful recommendations from here. I have two dogs and too many cats. I love this thing! If I ever have to buy a new one I will pay the dollars for the latest Roborock!

The chair legs are 300mm and cat hair is everywhere, that's why :) Small base like the new q7 is adequate.

I love my Roborock Q7

RoboRock has some awesome sales on Amazon right now and I have yet to see negativity about their products. My Q7 just arrived today.

Not comparable.

I’ll give you an explanation since you seem interested. Anything roborock will be subpar. Contrary to what these marketers will tell you. You can buy the x30 or x40 I think x40 is sold out. Or even l10s ultra for the same price and the tech is SOOOO much better. I will never go back to roborock. I had a q7 and I paid 400$ for it. I swore by roborock I bought 2 other robots trying to fill the void. I randomly bought a dreame on eBay for 799$ (x40 ultra) because it had a warranty. It cleans better avoids objects. Is smart. Bigger battery. Better pickup. Better mopping makes my house smell good I got a huge tank of solution and it dispenses on the mop pads. Roborock owners will tell u that the solution in the water of the revo is better. I can smell the difference between the mopping on dreams my house is beautiful and smells clean. Roborock never did that.

Yea.. didn’t fit my needs. 2k was the price of all the roborocks not the dreame.. The dreame was 800$ on eBay

This and a stick vac to spot clean is what I have

I saw recommendations for the Roborock vacuums. Having used it for 2 days, it's been solid, and the new Q-series does seem to work well with the native homeassistant plugin.

For the price (£250) I am very impressed with mine. Its got LiDAR, a mop, empties itself, etc. Its really neat to watch on the app as it goes about your house and maps it out. Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle. Definitely does not replace vacuuming as a whole though as it just cant physically get into the corners, and the vacuum itself isnt enough to really suck stuff out of the carpet, more just pick up things on top. I treat it more like a broom than anything else, but having a pet it helps me keep on top of things.

I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
