roborock Q7 Max Robot Vacuum and Mop, 30-Level Adjustable Water Flow, 4200Pa Suction, PreciSense LiDAR Navigation, No-Go Zone, No-Mop Zone, 3D Mapping, App & Voice Control, Ideal for Pet Hair

I've had this vacuum for about a month now and it's been great. I had a Shark robo vacuum before this one which served me well, but I'm much more impressed with Roborock. It's a little less noisy, picks up everything, and keeps itself clean. I frequently had to clean out the wheels/bottom of my Shark due to having three pets, but I noticed this one somehow stays clean underneath and has given no errors so far. And I haven't had to empty the bag yet. But the most impressive thing to me is how smart it is, it doesn't run into anything, and it's FAST. I have a 1500 sq ft space, and (apart from the first 1-2 times while it learned the home) it takes about an hour to clean everything. It seems much more high tech than I expected. Well worth the money. I haven't used the mop yet, but the vacuum does great.

First, I'm a VERY critical consumer. I've owned four other robotic vacuums. This is the best in almost every way. The only weakness is the mopping mode. It has a small reservoir and requires soaking the pad. If mopping is a priority to a customer, I wouldn't purchase this. But, when it comes to cleaning and not getting lost, it's the best. I can tell that it is very smart. I've closed doors so it's gotten stuck and I've put it down in a different part of the house, and after spinning around and moving a few feet here and there, it seems to figure out where it is and finds its way home. Our house is very spread out and it has no problem finding its way to the farthest room. The software is easy to use. It is very easy to select one or multiple rooms for cleaning. It is very powerful and actually went under our recliner which has about a 3/4" metal bar. It was very easy to zoom in and create no-go zones which I made where we had extension cords or USB cables under furniture. If you don't, as I hadn't to begin with, it will get caught up in them. I've had it less than a year so I can't speak of longevity. I always read negative reviews prior to making a purchase and look for consistency. I didn't find that nor did I have any issue with anything that was complained about. I like this so much, that we gifted a more expensive almost new vacuum that had some issues with noise on a hard floor and not being smart and bought a second Roborock.

I'm nervous about writing this review. We had another robot vacuum (starts with an sh and ends with ark) that I absolutely loved, but once it hit that year mark when the item would no longer be covered under warranty, it quit working. I tried everything. All the tips and tricks I could find. Nothing worked. It was nothing more than a large paperweight, sitting in our dining room. Side note: Companies need to give an option for turning off cliff sensors. Not everyone needs them. Anyway, I contemplated not even getting another one, but we have an Anatolian Shepherd/Hound mix and he sheds like I've never seen a dog shed. I could sweep and sweep and sweep. All he has to do is move ever so slightly and it's raining hair. Having a robot vacuum really helps keep up with it all. I started researching and this brand came out on top. I took a deep breath and ordered.It arrived quickly and packaged well. When I say well, I mean it. I think, in total, it was 3 different boxes I had to open to finally see, what I hoped to be, a long term cleaning buddy. Once I got it removed from its container, I found it a home. I downloaded the app, paired to wifi, got everything set up and connected it to our Alexa. It was simple and flawless. I then let it do its mapping. We are only using it on the main floor so it won't be used elsewhere as the only other area is a basement (underground) and it's not finished. I figured it was going to take a while so I headed downstairs to start some laundry and put some stuff away. Imagine my surprise when my Apple Watch alerted me to the fact that 15 minutes in, it was done. What?? My last one took almost 2 hours to map the 970 square feet that is our main living area. I went back upstairs and stared at it, baffled. Looking at my phone with the open app, I set up a schedule for cleaning and went about the rest of my day.That evening (I have it set up for 5:30pm) I heard a strange voice and almost jumped out of my chair. Our dog barked, the cats scattered. Feeling panicked because I am home alone at the moment, I clutched my chest and peered around the corner. It was just the vacuum telling me it was starting to clean. I let out a breath. I hadn't expected that. My last one only talked when she was telling me why she couldn't vacuum, which in the end, was every time she turned on. I watched carefully. It went around the outer edge of the entire house, hitting every room, then came back and went back and forth until it was satisfied it had covered every spot. Then it told me it was done and was going back home. Huh.After using it for a few days, I checked the bag. Wow! It definitely picked up more than our last one did. I could have made a whole new dog with what was in there. I don't love that it isn't bagless though but I can deal with that. The app is easy to use but unlike our last one, you can't name the cleaner. Gimmicky, but I kinda liked being able to do that. Not a huge deal because cleaning wise, it's amazing. I still can't get over how much hair it picked up. I showed my husband and he was impressed. Well, after first wondering why I was showing him a pile of our dogs hair.It's pretty quiet when vacuuming but when it empties, you can definitely hear it. That doesn't last long though so not something that bothers anyone. I guess it also mops but I honestly have zero intention of using that. We only have one area in our house that has waterproof flooring so I prefer to do that myself. I get why this brand is highly rated. I love it already but because my heart was broken by another, I'm still feeling nervous. I can't help it. The last one let me down and I'm really hoping for longevity this time around. My fingers are crossed.....
