Roborock - Q7B

I recently bought the cheapest Roborock Q7 BF or something and to be honest I am very happily surprised. But I have 2 cats and an apartment, so for me, it was purely against the cat hairs and I expected nothing more. Having worked at an online retailer, I know how many times people called, (a lot) because their robot had some sort of issue no matter which brand or version. So I bought the cheapest with the least amount of functions, no dock where it empties itself and I don't use it to mop either. It's a round robot on your floor, keep that in mind. Your house won't be cleaned by it and there are still parts you have to vacuum yourself. Paying 800-1000 eu/dollar for one of these is just insane marketing with gimmicky stuff and a big box. DON'T DO IT. The robot will still get sometimes stuck or tries to vacuum something that won't fit to then start calling for help. I don't want China to have access to my phone, let alone a LIDAR scan of my house, so I just press start and it does the rest. I don't use any app, neither should anyone tbh.

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.

Love vac on my roborock q7b+ Self empty station, can run with a mop pad also. It seems to get all edges and corners which suprised me at first. 8000pa and i dont ever vacuum now

I have 2, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. Both Roborock, S8 for downstairs (self cleaning mop) and a Q7 for upstairs. It has helped so so much with cleaning. It's great turning it on, going to the store for some stuff and coming back to a clean house. We have 2 cats so there is some litter on the floor sometimes, and just general dust and hair. It makes a map of your house, so if you only need a specific room to be clean you can select that. Usually I try to keep the floors free of stuff when I turn it on (I throw stuff on the sofa). But the Roborock is great with dodging clutter because of the sensors it has. Smaller stuff should be picked up since it can suck those up and get stuck. Also, careful with cords. Once the roborock pulled our playstation across the house hahaha.

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

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

I guess it depends on what you consider "budget friendly", maybe check out wirecutter for their current recommendations. We've had a roborock Q7 for a little over a year and paid $235 on prime day, It has vacuum and mopping capabilities but it doesn't empty itself. I have to empty it daily and sometimes it doesn't run because it didn't properly connect to the base the previous time it ran. You also have to wash out the filter once a week and clean it regularly but the app lets you know. We just have one cat but it's done a decent job collecting all the dust tracked around while we're finishing the basement. I think the Q10 is similar and costs $270 right now on Amazon.

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

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.

I’d choose the roborock Q7 over the other two models :)

Du må vurdere hvordan leiligheten er utformet og hva du har i den. Høye lister? Kjæledyr som røyter? Masse tepper? Selv kjøpte jeg en Roborock Q7 til under 3k og er veldig fornøyd. Takler det meste, men ikke så god til å unngå alt rotet mitt. Ikke uvanlig at jeg får beskjed på jobb at den har spist en sokk eller laderen min. Det tvinger deg ihvertfall til å holde gulvet ryddig.
