Q5 Pro Series

Roborock Q5+ duoroller. I also vacuum with a Miele canister vacuum. German Shepherd and 3 cats. I only have one throw rug and the rest is solid floor. I will note though that I break my house up into sections. 1 day 50% is vacuumed the other day the other 50%. I have a 3 bed 2 bath ranch house with a small dining room. IDK the SQ FT but it's not big but it's not small. I broke it up into 2 sections otherwise the vacuum gets a little full if I forget to use the Miele that week.

When my roborock Q5 broke down (after 3+ years of daily cleaning), I searched around and found the Tapo RV30 max plus for only $180 on Amazon. It got some great you tube reviews plus it was recommended by Wirecutter and had got a PC Editors Choice award.. I bought it last week and it works great; well the mopping isnt that good but the vacuuming is better than my old roborock. The only downside is that it takes a long time to recharge so when it docks in mid-cycle its a few hours before it resumes. But anyway for the price I don't think you can beat it.

I second this. I think I only paid $200 for my Q5? Mine doesn't mop or auto empty, but very good on the vacuuming front (and has all the good mapping, navigation, multi floor modes the other ones do). And they do have models with the mopping and auto emptying things.

This is more of an uninformed opinion than unpopular. I can run mine when I'm not even home. I can adjust the noise level of I am home. I can even have it do just one or 2 rooms if I want/ and have it do places I'm not occupying. I did save money and get one that I have to manually empty...but guess what? Emptying it takes me a LOT less time than vacuuming the entire floor. This sub is for opinions, but you're factually wrong on it being a waste of time, because it is saving me time...the only way it would be wasting my time is if the alternative was to not sweep or vacuum the floors at all...

I just bought the roborock Q5+ duoroller and it does a good job and my dogs don’t hate it. (And one of them is very anxious) it’s pretty quiet and I’m impressed with it so far. I’m sure there are newer options but that’s what fit in my price range for now

Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.

Older roombas are simple, reliable, durable, effective, and cheap. But they don't have smart navigation or mapping where you can ask them to clean specific areas. If you want navigation they become less cheap and less durable. I have a 10yo 600 series roomba and a new Roborock Q5. Q5 is great but I'm skeptical that it's going to last as long.

great news! Almost ANY roborock you get (for that matter, any robot) is going to far surpass your i7 experience. I would not grab the Q5, TBH. There is, actually a very big difference between $500 and $1000 robots, but if I may recommend... I'd say the best CURRENT value on a Roborock is the Curv/Edge, the S8 MaxV Ultra and the QRevo MaxV. While the Saros are great... I don't think they're better \*enough\* than the models listed about to justify the price. Also, I'd wait for Prime Day, regardless. Also, I test robots for a living for Lifehacker, and am not sponsored by anyone, and test robots in my very real house.

Got Q5 pro for just 123usd from japan.its worth the price.accurate mapping,good suction and dual rollers.

Using the same model.Changed our lives is an understatement.

I’ve been using Roborock Q5 pro which is within your mentioned budget.Quite good for vacuuming as an entry level robot.btw i got it for $124 (from japan).it has dual rollers,large dustbin ,good battery backup and very good mapping.Only downside is mopping.

Depois de adoptar a minha cadela Camila comprei um porque largava muito, muito pêlo. Foi a melhor compra do ano e mudei de casa em fevereiro. Poupo muitas horas de trabalho e dinheiro. Nunca usei em carpetes porque ainda nem os comprei. xD Funciona bem em mármore, azulejo e madeira. Aconselho o Roborock Q5 Pro. Vem com mopa e não é daqueles monstros que chamam muito á atenção.

I just got a Roborock and LOVE IT. I have four dogs and two cats (two cattle dog, two labs, one long hair cat so non stop shedding - I had to vacuum and sweep every day) and this thing has changed my life. We have mostly hardwood floors and one carpet but it doesn’t struggle at all on the rug and has smooth transitions onto each. Hair never gets tangled. It’s self emptying and has great battery life. It takes a little over two hours for it to vacuum my house and it doesn’t ever drop below 40% battery. I can’t believe I waited this long to get it. I was like the OP for years, just always overwhelmed with the hair no matter how much I cleaned! We had a roomba years ago and it does not compare to the roborock. OP I got a “used like new” Roborock q5 with dual rollers (large dustbin capacity) on amazon so I saved a wee bit of money that way. Best investment ever.

I just got a roborock q5 dual rollers, “used like new” on amazon (it was in brand new condition) for like $240. It’s a vacuum only. I have four dogs (cattle dogs and labs) and two cats (one long hair) so I was sweeping and vacuuming every day. It was exhausting. Just got the roborock two weeks ago and it is the BEST money I’ve ever spent! It has a super big dustbin, self empties, dog hair never gets stuck or tangled, works great on rugs and hardwood and has so many different speeds. The app is easy to navigate too. I love it so much!
