Q5

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,

I have 5 of Roborocks. 2 of them generally don't get lost, the other 3 pretty frequently. (3 S7 Max V Ultras, one S8 Max V Ultra, and one Q5+). I think it has to do with room and furniture geometry, as if I swap them around, the issues persist in the rooms. The typical failure mode is it will drive

I am also a multi-roborock owner (3 s7 Max V Ultras, one S8 Max V Ultra, and one Q5+). 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

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

I ended up researching socks to find a new brand that does not shed as much (Adidas instead of Dickies). That helped a lot. I then moved my Q5+ to the garage and now have a S8 Max V Ultra replacing it for my mixed area that has wall to wall and throw carpets. The S8 is a better overall robot, but no

I've had a similar experience with my Q5. It lasted about a year and a half. This is my second Roborock as my first was a refurbished S6 Max that randomly died mid vacuum job one day and would never turn back on. Of course this was after the warranty period was up and the thing was nearly $600. The

I did the "have multiple bots: one per floor", and that is what I would recommend. Here are some random considerations if useful: It is nice if they are the same brand, so only one app to deal with, which is what I did, but I think it even more important that each robot is bought to be ideal for the
