"My favorite automation so far: Cat uses the litter robot. After the litter robot flushes, wait a few minutes then send the Qrevo Slim out to vacuum up just the area around the litterbot to pick up any stray litter the kitties tracked out."
"So many cloud-attach devices seem to have connectivity problems or keep dropping off of HA, but not this Roborock. It alone seems as reliable as a local device."
"The Slim allows me to set exactly such routines where it would first tackle those two areas – empty and clean itself – and then continue on with cleaning the rest without any manual intervention from me whatsoever!"

"I have a wool rug in my living room that sheds like a pack of german shepherds. With my S7, I still had to manually vacuum with my Dyson in order to remove both its shedding and dirt. The QRevo Slim however really does good work on carpets and rugs. Post a run with the Slim, my Dyson doesn’t pick up much debris or hair from the rug. The slide out front arm has definitely made a difference around deep corners in my home. I had to manually clean these with a handheld vacuum before."
"The pockets of fur from my chihuahua is gone."
"Just out of curiosity, I ran my old S7 in a specific area for a vacuum and mop cycle. I then followed it with a cycle on the QRevo Slim. It still managed to show up as dark brown water after the mop cycle! This was an eye opener as it meant that the scrubbing ability of the rotating mop heads made a difference on my hard wood floors. It even managed to scuff out certain markings my kid made with a marker on the floor. The slide out mop arm makes a difference around the entry way of my house (near the front door) and near the backyard entrance, for sure."

"This was a game changer for me. Each night before I ran the S7, I had to manually move and rearrange items on the floor so it didn’t get stuck. With a kid and a dog, it’s easy to have toys under the rug, spoons in random places on the floor etc. My S7 would always get stuck on those and fire away an SOS in the app and I’d have to get outta bed and reset the robot clean cycle. The Slim has made me truly appreciate the *set it and forget it* style I prefer. Yes, I still do move/check for randoms but it doesn’t get stuck up on the stuff I’d miss. 3/4 score in my ultra scientific yet real world test! It even manages to dodge when my dog is sitting on the rug and shows a ‘Pet’ notification in the app! ... Wires - not a problem! ... It did manage to 'touch' the flip flops but didnt mess up ... Nudged the ball but didn't get stuck on it like my S7 did"
"I dint like the navigation so went back to robo rock qrevo s5a"
"it almost never gets caught on or tangled in anything and mostly drives around any obstacles fine."

"The slim itself is pretty quiet when in Balanced mode. When it does bump up the power on the rug in my Living Room, it is still quieter than my old S7 in Max mode. I could NOT watch TV in my living room when running the S7 on vacuum/mop balanced mode. I can however do this with the Slim. Do with this information what you will. It also manages to go under my kitchen cabinets which my S7 never could, due to the LIDAR turret."
"The lowest clearance that I know of are the Roborock Qrevo slim and and the Roborock saros 10r at 3.14 inches. ... So basically it can get under anything 3.2 inches or higher. ... If clearance is your #1 priority, then I would look at the Roborock Qrevo slim or the Saros 10R (newer version) as they are the slimmest I know of at 3.14 inches."

"vacuums, mops, and the base empties mops and dries."
"Auto mop washing is probably one of the most worthwhile features of any robot mop. ... The rotating mops have been so successful compared to vibrating partially because the washing system is so simple. ... Since the pads rotate on the robot itself, the dock doesn’t need moving parts to clean the mop. The pads simple rotate quickly on what is basically a fixed washboard and the dirty water is sucked out. Way simpler and therefore cheaper, hardly anything to break."
"the q revo series with the spinning mops and auto docks have been amazing for me."

"Roborock in general, really struggles with obstacle avoidance, especially on carpet. ... The QRevo slim I had for a few weeks before returning it would constantly eat cords and cat toys. ... Do not go with roborock if you value obstacle avoidance. ... having to constantly intervene is super annoying."
"Object detection, specifically the smallest. ... I have cat toys that hang around everywhere and regularly my Q Revo blocks on it. ... Having to put them away before launching the robot and the only reason why I don't start it without my presence. ... This is the worst nightmare for my Q Revo."

bestlaidschemes_ 1.0I got a slim that was on sale for my 1 bed 2 bath with hardwood and lots of navigation challenges and it works pretty well.
budbutler 1.0My q revo slim does a pretty good job at mopping 9n wensday and it does a decent job of keeping up with the vacuuming everyday even with 2 dogs and 2 cats. But it never gets every thing and it's never a deep clean. It more just slows the progress of messyness a lot.
chicagocarless 1.0Roborock Q Revo series. Punches way above midrange pricing. We love our Q Revo Slim.

faulome 1.0Yes! My entire downstairs is hardwood and tile. Vacuuming and mopping works well on both. I have it do two passes, so it makes a checkered pattern. So even if it misses something the first time, it'll usually pick it up the second pass. I have two Roborocks, a Slim and a Q5+.
Gingersarus 1.0Oh man, sorry to hear, I have the Eufy S1 and it does a pretty good job at getting under things and not getting stuck. But I do believe it is now overpriced for what you get. If clearance is your #1 priority, then I would look at the Roborock Qrevo slim or the Saros 10R (newer version) as they are the slimmest I know of at 3.14 inches. One thing I would definitely do is measure furniture (tables, chairs, end tables, dressers, buffets) and see what height you need and go from there. Some things might require risers if you want to get under everything. I had to do that but now the only place the golden retriever hair can hide is under one couch lol.
Gyat_Rizzler69 1.0I have two Dreame x40s. Probably one of the best robot vacuums from the last generation. The new generation is the Roborock Saros 10R and Dreame X50. As for the x40, I have two of them and they have probably the best object avoidance on the market while also have great cleaning performance. I run them both on a daily schedule and they have no issues cleaning my house without eating cords, cat toys and other random things that end up on the floor. The obstacle avoidance lets me run it daily without having to prep my house. If you have to prep your house, or can't run the robot on a schedule, it makes a robot vacuum a lot less useful. I basically don't have to think about the robot outside of refilling it's water and cleaning the filter. I also tried the QRevo slim but returned it since its obstacle avoidance wasn't as good. It cleaned well, but the Dreame cleaned just as well while having superior object avoidance so kept the Dreame. Since the new generation of robots just came out, I would wait a bit before buying but it looks like the Saros 10R might be one of the best picks right now. The Dreame x50 also looks good but I've heard some issues and bugs with the software but it does have better features like a self cleaning vacuum filter. Either way I would wait a bit for bugs to be ironed out and more reviews to come out.
I've tried both and kept the Dreame X40 for similar reasons. Roborock is just bad at obstacle avoidance. I have two x40s and they have been working great for the past 5 months other than some minor hiccups. Their regular customer support really sucks but I've had really good luck contacting one of their support reps, Russell on Whatsapp. He's helped me update my X40 and recalibrate the LDS. If you want to avoid Dreame and Roborock try the Eufy s1 pro. Since you have hard floors mostly, it would be a good choice. Eufy's customer support is better than Dreame and Roborock but their robots are a little worse when it comes to carpet performance.
Get a Dreame or Mova for best obstacle avoidance. I've owned a Eufy x10, Dreame x40 and Roborock QRevo slim. Out of all of them I rate the Dreame x40 far ahead of the other two with the QRevo slim coming in 2nd and Eufy x10 last I currently have two x40s and their obstacle avoidance is nearly flawless. The robots rarely get stuck or eat cables which lets me run them both daily without having to prep my house or intervene. Roborock in general, really struggles with obstacle avoidance, especially on carpet. The QRevo slim I had for a few weeks before returning it would constantly eat cords and cat toys. Do not go with roborock if you value obstacle avoidance. For your case, I would recommend the Dreame L40 or Mova P10 pro ultra. Mova is Dreame's sister company and the p10 pro ultra is identical to the Dreame L40 other than not being able to leave the mop pads at the base station. And both are very similar to the X40 other than having a slightly smaller battery and slightly different obstacle avoidance sensors while still being as good as obstacle avoidance. The advantage of the L40 and p10 pro ultra is that you are getting X40 level performance but usually around the $500-700 price point.
KingClemensII 1.0I‘m really happy with my roborock. I had the s5 max for the last 4(?) years and was really happy with it but decided to upgrade to the qrevo slim for all of it‘s functions. Now my parents have the s5 and are really happy with it
licquia 1.0The Qrevo Master has a lot of good reviews, so I don't think that's a bad option. Roborock has historically been weaker at obstacle avoidance, though, and the Master is no exception. I don't have insight into the European market, but at least on Amazon US, the Qrevo Slim is cheaper than the Master right now. I mention it because it has the first generation of Roborock's new obstacle avoidance and navigation system, which got a very high obstacle avoidance rating from Vacuum Wars, and the Saros 10R (which uses a newer version of the same system) just got the highest obstacle avoidance rating ever from them. The Saros 10R is one of Roborock's new flagships, so quite expensive, but you might give the Slim a look. Assuming the Slim doesn't work out, I think you have to go into purchasing the Master accepting that it's the closest to what you want, but not an exact match. It sounds like you're already used to poor obstacle avoidance with your current robot, and I'm sure the Master would be better than what you have now. If you can live with that, I'd expect you would be quite happy with the Master otherwise.
Of these, the worst mopping will be the Q5 and Q8 robots, which just have stationary pads attached to the back. The S8 also has a pad attached to the back, but includes a scrubbing motion via a plate that vibrates at a high speed. It's better than the Q5 and Q8. The best mopping will be on the Qrevo and Eufy X10. They have spinning mop pads, a dock which refills the water tank on the robot from its own water tank, and also cleans the pads automatically and stores the dirty water in another tank on the dock. Of the last two, each has its strengths and weaknesses. The X10 will be better at obstacle avoidance. The Qrevo is a Roborock, which has a better reputation for quality and reliability than the Eufy, and is also rated a little better than the Eufy at a lot of things: vacuuming performance, mopping performance, etc. It also can swing out one of its mop pads for better edge and corner cleaning, something the Eufy can't do. In some cases, obstacle avoidance is really critical, in which case I'd recommend the Eufy. Otherwise, the Qrevo is likely your best bet.
musicmastermsh 1.0Same. I wish I could do Valetudo, I would strongly prefer to keep everything local. That's a no go with three floors in the house, though. Can we get a fork that supports multiple floors? Even on its regular cloud service, it's been a massive upgrade over what I had before, and it integrates nicely with HA. My favorite automation so far: Cat uses the litter robot. After the litter robot flushes, wait a few minutes then send the Qrevo Slim out to vacuum up just the area around the litterbot to pick up any stray litter the kitties tracked out. So many cloud-attach devices seem to have connectivity problems or keep dropping off of HA, but not this Roborock. It alone seems as reliable as a local device. 9/10, would absolutely buy again.
rafaellobao 1.0At the beginning the robot got stuck in the fan's electrical cord. After that, I've changed the configuration "Less collision mode" to Sensitive and it started recognising the cord. But my cats have some toys with cords (like the tail of a plush mouse) and the robot gets stuck at it. The robot also pushes the cat bowls along the house, so I had to add a no go zone there. In average, the object avoidance is good when compared to others roborock models, but it's still far from being great.
