Roborock Q5 Pro

User sentiment is predominantly positive, centering on the Q5 Pro's value proposition. Multiple users report purchasing refurbished units for $159–$220 (sometimes with auto-empty dock) that arrive essentially brand new. The vacuum function is consistently praised as solid for the price, with LiDAR navigation called out as a major upgrade over camera-based Roomba models (J7, s9) that users report bumping constantly and failing on dark carpets. Several Reddit users switched from Roomba to Dreame/Roborock specifically citing LiDAR superiority. Critical weaknesses emerge around the mop system: one user with four units says 'toss the mop in the garbage,' another reports their unit 'never uses water.' A detailed complaint from a pet owner with carpet states the Q5 Pro leaves clumps behind daily despite regular cleaning, calling it 'pretty crappy' for that use case. Setup instructions are criticized as inadequate, with users relying on YouTube tutorials instead. The vacuum performs well on hard floors for small homes, but carpet performance—especially with pet hair—is a known pain point. Dark areas (under sofas) raise navigation concerns tied to sensor behavior.
