Could someone explain Roborock models? The names are confusing.
I can give you a basic rundown, here's a rant I posted only this morning https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1qzl563/comment/o4d12j9/?context=3 The S series are the best bots. The true flagships but they don't muck around with new tech like rollers yet, for a good reason, they are basical

Is there any progress made?
I have several Roborocks, The S8 Max V Ultra, a few S7 Max V Ultras, and a Q5+. I see occasional updates to the app, and the occasional firmware update, but I can't recall a single update that really changed or improved things over the last couple of years. I was expecting that a lot of the mapping,

God-awful app or am I missing something?
It's not the app, it's the robot.

Mine have lots of navigation issues that by now I would have expected to get better with software updates, but if anything they have become worse. Dealing with tech support is a painful exercise of providing purch

Why are Roborock's maps so messed up?
It seems that they get confused by house geometry and conditions. I have 5 different levels in my house, and 5 different Roborocks. 2 of those 5 levels really confuse the robots, and one of the levels is hit and miss. The area with the most issues is my kitchen / living / dining / entryway level. It

Bought the Roborock Q5 Max+ & Insanely Impressed
My experience is bad with Q5 Max+. It does poor job with kitchen debris and gets stuck into chair legs way too frequently. Even after cleaning repeatedly and fully (like removing screws on the bottom and doing thorough cleaning) its performance didn't improve. Planning to get a non Roborock vacuum n
