## What reviewers found

### Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2

- Tom's Guide: On hardwood it picked up 100% of hair, 100% of cereal and 99.5% of flax seeds. On high pile carpet it got only 12% of hair, 61% of cereal and 24.5% of seeds. Mapping was quick and accurate. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/dreame-d10-plus-gen-2-review)
- Vacuum Chef: Measured about 1,300 Pa suction, a 90/100 carpet deep clean score and 79 dB peak noise. Obstacle avoidance needs major improvement and long hair tangled both ends of the roller.

### Roborock Q7 M5+

- Tom's Guide: Tested the Q7 M5 robot without the dock: 93.3% overall pickup on tile and 85% on carpet, with 70% of pet and human hair on carpet. Human hair caught on the brush roll and the mop only handled light dirt. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/roborock-q7-m5-robot-vacuum-review)
- TechRadar: Called the Q7 M5 a brilliant budget bot with accurate mapping and strong pet hair pickup, but it hit every test object, long hair still wrapped the brush and the app had several glitches. Subscores: Value 4/5, Performance 4/5, App 3.5/5. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/roborock-q7-m5-robot-vacuum-review)
- Vacuum Wars (2.01 Vacuum Wars stars): Above average suction and navigation speed, but average results on embedded sand (75%) and flattened pet hair (79%), 43% hair wrap, and heavy water use when mopping. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/roborock-q7-m5-and-m5-review/)
