Q7+

I'll be real. I've owned 3 different Roborock products, 4 if you consider the auto empty stock separately from the vacuum. Every single one has had issues and every single one died before it hit 18 months of age. The Q7+ was replaced under warranty (which took a month of arguing with customer service and 6 weeks of sending it off to them to even get them to consider replacing it), and the replacement is still running... So I'll give it that, despite it refusing to navigate all that well.  The Q8 Max died at 18 months. The Q7's dock diedat 15 months. The mop does between 13 and 15 months.  Roborock makes it near impossible to repair them on your own. I replaced the motor in the floor mop, but it's just not the same and I've stopped using it.  My suggestion is just buy the one that fits your needs and buy a 3 year extended warranty. Then plan on anything you buy being dead after the warranty is done...you can't be disappointed that way. 

Also here in nz. How come you upgraded? I bought the q7t+ from pbtech and find it's fine for my place (180sqm of carpet but does staggered 1-2 times a week schueduled cleaning in common areas). Couldn't justify spending much more

I went for the Q7 S5+ rather than the Q10 (for strictly size reasons as I have some tight spots), and same - blown away.

Thank you for this amazing info! I have the Q7plus, and have never used it for mopping. (just my own thing) lol I want to buy another robot vacuum but just for vacuuming as well. Is there one you can recommend? I have 50/50 carpet hardwood. I need a new vac for upstairs. Thank you!! = )

Grt an auto empty one, i have q7+ and set it to empty every 30 mins. Xan change how many mins

Bought the Roborock Q7+ for $500 NZD Then only two months later bought the ecovacs t50 Omni pro for $880 NZD Silly spending as I am 25 and in a small two bedroom 🤣

Yeah, it’s great for general use and I’d still recommend it to anyone look for a vaccum that does the job The Roborock app is better, and it does a really solid job for the price and features. I often take my Roborock to my parents’ place and let it run for a few hours while I’m there. The Ecovacs is also great and suits my place well, but it’s quite bulky to transport, so I’ve left the Roborock at my parents’ place.

I wanted to spoil myself with buying it but realized how good the Roborock is performance it provides

We just got the q7 tf+ NZ variant of this. I only got it as my voimi v3 died. The suction is amazing but it drops it dirt as it rides along or goes over bumps and docking seems to be hit or miss, also removed the mop pad - it seemed worthless having a mop on that model. So far thoughts are that the voimi v3 was way better, even though it had only 2600k kpa vs 10000 kpa. Mind you it was only 499 nzd so 280 USD, maybe I should of got a better one!

If the Roborock has LIDAR (should have a short tower in the middle), then get that one. The G50 doesn't, and some kind of LIDAR is going to be better.

So an unknown brand just came out with a fairly pedestrian robot with stationary-pad mopping, and it has a higher rating than some of the highest-regarded robots on the market? Nope. If you really need mopping on a budget, take a look at the Dreame D10+, Eufy L60 Hybrid, or one of the Roborock Q series robots. For a big improvement in mopping for not much more money, look at the Eufy C20 or Dreame L10s Ultra series. Mova can be good, if they've solved their problem with fragile front wheels. If you don't care about mopping, look at the Eufy L60 SES or SwitchBot K10+.

I have the q7 tf, in Thailand and spent about £125 on it and it's been on sale cheaper for like £90. 10,000 suction LiDAR, crazy price.

Get the Roborock QR 798 or Q10 PF/VF or its + variant if you want an automatic empty station included. I'm in Southeast Asia, too! I have had a Q7 TF (similar to Q10 without a vibrating mop and obstacle avoidance) for three weeks, and I love it. I mainly use it to clean hard floors and low-pile rugs. - Q10 has two versions PF (lifting mop) and VF (vibrating mop similar to S8 Max and Saros 10). The + variants included the auto-empty station. - QR 798 is similar to QRevo S but slightly cheaper at least in my country 🇮🇩 - Xiaomi X20+ quite similar to Dreame L10 series and cheaper than QR 798 and L10 (in 🇮🇩). It already has obstacle avoidance features, but unlike Roborock Q7TF and Q10 PF/VF, it doesn't have an anti-hair tangle feature. - Xiaomi X 20 Max - Dreame L10s Ultra gen 2 All these robots use structured light sensors for obstacle avoidance. Unlike the AI camera sensor, it performs less than the latter. Structured light performs worse in detecting very small objects or objects on a high pile and carpet with complex patterns.

Maybe try the Q10V+ because you could save some money. I have a cheaper Q7 TF, which is basically Q10 PF/VF without a vibrating mop pad and obstacle avoidance sensor. It did a good job as a hard floor sweeper even in quiet settings, and it already has anti-hair tangling features, which, in my case, I never had a single human hair strand stuck for three weeks.

Oh, that's the Australian version of Q7 TF (Asia), Q7 L5 (Canada), and Q7 M5 (US). I have Q7 TF for 4 months and it works great for me. Mine has larger suction power (10000 Pa) vs Q7b (8000 Pa). The anti-tangle brush works great for human hair (but idk for pet hair since my cat is always outside). The mopping is ancient like a Swiffer, but the electronically controlled water pump valve is better than the passive/gravity one in the older Q5. I would like to have the plus version, but at that time it was out of stock, so I took one without the self-empty dock.

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.
