roborock Q10 S5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop with Self-Emptying, 10,000Pa Suction, Upgraded from Q8 max+, Obstacle Avoidance, Sonic Mopping, Dual Anti-Tangle Design, Auto Mop Lifting, Ideal for Pet Hair

We got the Roborock Q10 S5+ in July 2025 for our 1,610 sq ft home, and to start—we love it. It’s quiet, intuitive, and surprisingly thorough. It consistently picks up dirt we didn’t even know was there.I’d say it handles about 85% of the dirt, which is impressive. It’s not a full replacement for traditional cleaning, but it definitely makes life easier. We have LVP and thicker carpet, and it handles both with no issues. Even our shag-style area rug gets cleaned well—though sometimes the vacuum hesitates to get on it, likely because it registers as an obstacle. When that happens, I just lift it onto the rug and hit resume.The mapping feature is smart. It mapped our house quickly and continues adjusting for new furniture or stuff left out. It also talks when it’s heading back to the base or emptying itself into the self-cleaning bin, which is a nice touch.As for mopping, it’s great for picking up light dust or surface dirt. It’s not going to replace your regular mop—but for daily upkeep, it’s helpful.You can clean the whole house, just one or more specific rooms, or even create custom zones—super handy. The app is extremely user-friendly, and a quick YouTube tutorial made setup a breeze.Highly recommend—it’s been a great addition to our cleaning routine!

I’ll start off by saying that this is the fourth or fifth robot vacuum that I’ve ever owned, and it is by leaps and bounds the best. The software and app work extremely well to let you customize the areas and schedule for vacuuming, and the vacuum itself does an awesome job. The largest benefit I noticed is the lack of maintenance required on it. The bag that holds everything lasts a long time, and most importantly the vacuum does not get clogged up with hair. We have a golden retriever and that was always an issue with other vacuums we have had. We got a bObsweep that we returned as it was getting clogged after 1-2 cycles, this has gone for a month without needing any maintenance due to the dual rubber brush system. The suction on the carpets is apparent, I can walk around with socks on and would previously have hair stuck to the bottoms constantly and not anymore with this. I recommend running it every day if you have pets so it can stay tidy and it looks great consistently in our house (roughly 2500 sq ft on main floor). The one thing I would tell folks that are looking for a mop/vacuum combo is that the mopping performance is a little clunky, requires you to manually fill a small reservoir and wet a mop attachment. Not a big deal for us since we were looking for the best possible vacuum for dry floors and I think this is exactly that. If you need to have a mop function that is automated, would look elsewhere for something that has a reservoir in the basement. Overall extremely happy and would recommend this to anyone looking for a high quality robot vacuum that requires minimal upkeep - especially ones with pets, and excels in mapping and a high quality app.

I’ve owned two of these vacuums for several months now, and I feel it’s finally time to write a review. The problem is, I couldn’t decide between a 3-Star or a 5-Star review. This vacuum is pretty good, but it also has a few frustrating flaws. Having owned several different brands/models of robot vacuums though, I can say that this is hands-down my favorite. So as a standalone vacuum, this is a 3-Star product. But compared to other robot vacuums, this is by far a 5-Star product.What I love:This vacuum uses lasers instead of a camera, and I love this! This provides several benefits that I highly value. First, it can operate in low or no light. This is absolutely necessary for me, as not all parts of my house are well-lit when I want to run the vacuum. Second, not having a camera also means more privacy. I REALLY don’t want a vacuum that takes pictures or videos of my house/family and uploads them to a mystery database in the cloud. This may be paranoid of me, but it’s a personal preference. All of the iRobot Roombas I’ve used had a camera, and they completely failed in poor lighting, meaning I could only run the vacuum during sunny days, or I had to leave lights on around the house and waste electricity. On the privacy side, iRobot’s privacy policy didn’t sit well with me at all.I also love the mapping function. It’s still technically in Beta, but it is awesome. The biggest selling point for me by far, is I love being able to digitally mark no-go zones rather than iRobot’s stupid beacons that take batteries (and still fail), or an awful looking strip of tape on the floor. Being able to mark the no-go zones in the app is such a clean way to keep the vacuum away from certain areas, and the vacuum has obeyed every time. One complication is that you can’t edit the map until the vacuum finishes one full pass of the area, so I had to vacuum-proof the no-go areas the first time so the vacuum could finish. But that wasn’t too bad.I also like the app a lot. I like being able to schedule or pick rooms whenever I want, from wherever I want. I don’t think this is any better or worse than other vacuum apps, but I like it, so I wanted to mention it.Lastly, the vacuum itself does a great job vacuuming, and it even comes with a few nice touches that I took for granted with other vacuums. For example, the brush to clean the filter is stored inside the vacuum. This is great! I no longer have a dirty brush sitting next to the charge station, and I always know where it is. The charging station also has a place to hide excess power cable. This is nice too, as it keeps the vacuum station area nice and tidy, and the charging station can be pressed flush up to the wall.What I don’t like:As others have said, this thing has constant errors, and it has no problem voicing its complaints to anyone nearby. I had to turn the volume down it was so annoying. The nice thing is, most of these are just verbal warnings and don’t actually halt the vacuum. These are mostly just annoying to hear the vacuum complain so much, but again, lowering the volume of the voice helps.But after a month or so, the vacuum would error-out AND stop every time it runs. Both of my vacuums do this now. As others have said, it will happen at the same time, every time. What I mean by that, is mine errors out and stops after the first 17 minutes any time I start it. I’ve read that this is due to carpet and the main brush being too thick. Apparently it overheats and stops the vacuum? I’m not sure how true this is, but this will happen with no hair or blockage in the main brush; it just stops. There is no required fix for this other than starting the vacuum from the button on the vacuum itself or starting it from the app. Seriously, that is how annoying it is. You don’t have to turn it over, take out the brush, clear anything. You just tell it to go again, and it will go as if it had never stopped.I keep hoping a firmware update will fix this, but no luck. For now, I can either vacuum one room at a time using the app, or open the app every now and then to restart the vacuum. This is by far the WORST part of an otherwise great vacuum.So even though there are some frustrating quirks with this vacuum, it is the only vacuum that works with my preferences and fits my lifestyle. I don’t want to leave lights on or only run the vacuum during sunny days. I don’t want to sit plastic towers around my house or put tape on my carpet. I don’t want a camera driving around my house sending pictures to the cloud. I just want a robot vacuum that performs well without any of the above options, and this vacuum does. I would highly recommend it!
