What’s the best BUDGET robot vacuum people actually keep long term?
Roborock q5 pro max has reliable so far. You do need to clean it though and if you flip it the other way for cleaning then you also have to clean the rotating lidar sensor. I think the dust gets into the lidar sensor and it will start complaining. It's fairly easy to clean with a toothbrush and/or c

How often do you really deep clean vs quick tidy?
I actually had a RoboRock Q5 robot vacuum, but the cats have so many toys laying around that it would get three feet away from its base, suck up some ribbon toy laying on the floor and stop cleaning. So eventually I just got rid of it.

What robot vacuum would you recommend that includes a mop?
Roborock has been good to me, I have the cheap Q5+ that only vacuums and purchased a few years ago. Picked up the Mova P50 Pro Ultra a few months ago and haven’t had any major issues with it. It does vacuum slower than my Roborock but it also mops, auto empties, and rinses/dries the mop pads when do

Robotstøvsugere og det norske folk
Jeg har en roborock Q5 pro. Lav profil så den kommer seg under de fleste møbler. Kommer nok aldri til å gå for tømmestasjon da jeg foretrekker at støvsugeren går å gjemmer seg under et møbel ute av syne når den er ferdig. Noe viktige ting å tenke på for din situasjon tenker jeg er: Sjekk høyden på m

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,

Roborock AdaptiLift
I really like it. My brother has had a Roborock Q5 for 4 years, so I decided to try their flagship model. It is built very solid and does a good job vacuuming. Mopping is as good as can be expected with a couple spinning discs. It avoids things on the floor very well and can get into nooks and crann

Why do robot vacuums still need so much hands-on effort? (Expectation vs. Reality)
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

Can anyone recommend a good Roomba mop/vacuum?
For an apartment with a dog and rugs, you'll want one with decent mapping and obstacle avoidance so it doesn't get stuck constantly. try the Roborock -Q5 Pro, most users highly praised it for its precise navigation and room mapping and exceptional pet hair vacuuming FWIW my mate and I recently did a

Help
Which Q5 models are yours? None of Roborock's Q5 series models has an ultrasonic carpet sensor, so it won't be able to avoid mopping your carpet. In Q5, you have to manually add an exclusion zone to your carpet area on the map to prevent it from being mopped. (see this subreddit post: https://www.re

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
