Is the Roborock Q7 M5 worth it?
Yes — if you just want clean floors.
It picks up most dirt on hard floors in one pass and does well on carpet for the price. The mop is a simple pad and it's poor at avoiding obstacles. In the US it's sold as the Q7 M5+, with a dock that empties the bin.
★ Great choiceGet it if…
- You want everyday upkeep, not deep cleans.
- You don't want to spend much.
- Your floors are usually clear.
Skip it if…
- You want a dock that washes the mops — get the D30 Ultra.
- Your floors are often cluttered.
Things to know before you buy
- 01
The UK model has a charging base only, so you empty the bin by hand.
It cleans better than its price suggests, and its bristle brush does more on carpet than some pricier robots. What you give up is a self-cleaning dock and smart obstacle avoidance, so it suits tidy homes.
