roborockQ5 Max+ Robot Vacuum with Self-Empty Dock, Upgraded from Q5+, 5500 Pa Suction, DuoRoller Brush, Hands-Free Cleaning for up to 7 Weeks, PreciSense LiDAR Navigation, App & Voice Control

It cleans especially well. This means the one disposable dust bag it comes with will fill up quickly so immediately buy dust bin bags-you will need them fast. Be sure you get the RoboRock app to set it up with. Setup is easy and essential using the app. Alexa or Google integration is a breeze. It is fairly quiet on balanced suction mode, and not really so loud on turbo. You MUST manually empty the dust bin in the Q5+ if it fills during cleaning and that is a real possibility if you have a lot of square feet. It will dock due to low battery or being full and upon docking it will empty by itself. However if during its cleaning cycle, it gets full, it will not sense this nor return to dock to empty. You MUST empty the dust bin-easy enough to do using the app. Dust bin contents are sucked into the dust bin back when docked and you manually choose empty dust bin. You have to let it run and do its thing. The best thing: set room mapping up and let it run around to map your floor. Then it will clean. Doing mapping first is easy and fast. You have to save maps of rooms/floors by setting save on-you toggle it to "on" and then you map. You can set up tasks meaning you can have it clean one room then go back to dock to empty and this is a good thing because it most likely will not overfill from one room and you need not manually empty it. Create three or four tasks and with each completed task, it will go back to dock and empty. If you do not do tasks, and you try to clean 1200 square feet, it WILL fill up and you MUST intervene and tell it to go back to dock to empty it. I run it 2x a day for 1200 feet and no matter what I do, it fills up before it is done cleaning. I have no idea where it comes from but the bin gets full about half way through. There is no way to get around this. This device picks up ever-so-fine dust, and dirt-better than with a vacuum. The big clumps of hair if you have dogs...not so much but these are visible and easily picked up after the device has left them behind during its runs. It just cleans and cleans!Let me go back to cleaning. It does this well. I am surprised how much small stuff it picks up. It picks up dog hair, etc. well. It seems to pick up dirt I cannot even see or notice. With a full charge, you may get 1200 square feet; I do with about 15% battery left. If not, it will go back to charge on the dock when it gets to 19% low. My plan: let it work using tasks (you can set a room or floor schedule) and let it charge and by the morning, empty the dust bin by using that option via the app, and let it clean again a floor where you do not have activity or where people are not at home or around (bedrooms for example). I say work it; run it daily. I have a good vac; I vacuumed Wed, and it is Sun and it is shocking to see what it has been picking up in the dust bin. If you have a dog or cat, this is the move. I am not saying it will pick up long hair but the short hair and dander, yes it 100% will. It cleans under the beds (yay!) and under furniture where it fits. It is not an industrial vac. It most likely won't and should not be used to pick up wood chips, etc. around a wood stove, nor should it be used to pick up large particulate matter. It does pick up coins without any noise or damage so that it great if you miss a coin on the carpet or floor. I can use Alexa ("Alexa, tell Roborock to empty the dust bin" or "Alexa, tell Roborock to start cleaning" or "Alexa, tell Roborock to dock") for basic commands. If you have a spill, you will have to experiment to get the unit to clean it up; it looks like if you press the home button on the device, it cleans within a 10-foot radius. It will just try to clean in rows so you will just have to try it out for spot cleaning. It may be a pain to get it to do that. I can't imagine people with pets not having this or one of the Roomba pet hair cleaning units. This is going to save me so much work. I am not getting any younger. I thought "Why deny myself technology?" so I got it on sale. I highly recommend meaning for me it matched my expectations and needs and easily so.One last thing: the roller will clog with wrap-around hair. It is easy to take out and clean BUT you MUST put the roller brush cover on exactly meaning there are four tabs and two go in manually at a bit of an angle and the other side of the roller brush cover has two clips that go back into place when you pinch them. IF you see any of the four tabs, you do not have it in place correctly. This shows up when you try to empty the unit. It will not empty. You will hear it try but it will not because the suction is too low because the roller brush cover is not completely installed/inserted. You may find the unit telling you you are attempting too many empty commands and it will ignore your commands to empty the dust bin if you find you had the roller brush cover on loosely. The way around this is to take out the dust bin and with a flashlight locate the reset hole (use a pin). It is well-hidden. When you find it, put in the button while also holding the home or power button. This resets the device. You have to readd your unit to wifi (not 5 but 2.4) and be sure your phone's wifi for this is on the 2.4 band. Reattach the unit to your 2.4 wifi and you will be good to go. The unit will start recognizing the empty command and with the roller brush cover on correctly (no tabs showing), you will see the unit empty its dust bin. All maps, etc. are saved in the app. Only the unit gets reset. The bags are really easy to change. I filled that "7-week" bag in a week. That is how good the unit is. I have run it 3x a day and I still pick up dirt. I have no idea how or why but I do breathe easier now without any decongestants, and the house is clean! Any vacuum clogs and needs cleaning. This unit is no different. It is maintenance. After a week or so, you get the hang of it.I did not get the combo mop unit because I can do that with another machine. I wanted a dust bin that was 100% for dirt pickup. It works. It works well. I am getting another for the second floor with carpet and with carpet, the unit senses this and goes into turbo mode to clean. For hardwood, it does not have to do that. There are four speeds. Night is quietest. Balanced is good. I like that setting. The wrap-up: run this a couple of times a day (why not?) and pause your cleaning via the app after 30 minutes or so to return it to dock and empty. Or use tasks. No one is going to get 1200 square feet cleaned in one pass without emptying. That is a good thing. This device picks up! For real!

I wanted a budget friendly robovac. I didn't need a mop. After researching reviews and ratings, I ended up going with the Roborock Q5 Max+. I got a pretty good pre-prime day deal under 300 bucks.I've had it about a week, and have had no issues. It's vacuumed the entire house several times, separate rooms and zones. Navigation is good.The unit has not got hung up on furniture, wires or low to medium pile carpet. I have a golden retriever and vacuuming hair is no problem.I do have a high pile dog rug by the back door. It did have a little problem with that during setup but in my opinion, it's common sense. Not enough to deduct a star. Set a little no-go zone and it avoids the area.I would highly recommend the Roborock Q5 Max +.

Wish I knew about this brand years ago, only reason I don't take me years old roomba back to Costco is I would feel bad after it being so long.Roomba is toast unless they get their act together, this thing is 1000x smarter.No more slamming into walls, or spinning in circles confused, only to do lousy cleaning job, this thing actually will slow down and barely touch objects or walls, it makes the Roomba look blind.Cleans very well too, only issue we have had is the bin will not empty well if you go to long between runs as it just gets to packed with dog hair, but run it frequently and it's worka flawless.

I recently adopted an all white German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix. I have had Shepherds before and knew they shed but with this guy its a superpower. After a few weeks of trying to keep up with the hair I needed to find a solution. I always thought robot vacuums were a gimmick. But started looking out of desperation. After some research I came across this brand and read the reviews, learned about suction power levels, etc.. I took the leap in hopes this would work. I have a 2,000 sqft house with wood floors and areas rugs that has a step down living room. When it arrived it was boxed like nesting dolls, three boxes in total but well protected. Set up was very easy and set up the step down living room as a separate room. It takes some tweaking but the lidar and customization of power levels, direction of sweeping, no go zones, etc. has been great. I've set schedules to clean areas of the house when I am not using them and it works out pretty well. The level of cleanliness is pretty good. Not as good as if I worked with my corded vacuum but it's still pretty good. It says that a bag will last seven weeks but after a week it's half full after daily use. Not really a surprise given the amount of hair my dog is shedding on a daily basis. Still surprised at how much the bag will hold. So overall so far I am very satisfied and surprised with the performance. As for the longevity of it remains to be seen since it is being used daily. I have not used the mopping function yet. I may give it a try at some point. If you're like me and wondering if it works or if it is worth it, it has made my life much easier overall and I am very satisfied so far. My concern is how long it will hold up with this kind of use but at this point would recommend to anyone trying to find a solution to pet hair issues. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was it does leave some tufts of hair here and there and the area rungs are not totally cleaned.
