One of the best carpet and pet hair cleaners at its price. Vacuum Wars measured 96% sand and 96% pet hair pickup with no hair wrap. It avoided only 6 of 24 obstacles and the dock does not wash mops, so it suits tidy homes with mostly carpet.

A good value for people who want a robot that empties, refills and washes its own mop without buying bags, now that it sells for $599.99 instead of $999.99. Reviewers liked its obstacle avoidance and threshold climbing but found it leaves floors very wet and stays too far from walls. Skip it if you have delicate wood floors or need strong deep carpet cleaning.

What reviewers found
Roborock Q10 S5+
- Vacuum Wars (3.34 Vacuum Wars stars): Removed 96% of embedded sand and 96% of pet hair with 0% hair wrap. Dried stain score was 103 against a 93 average. It avoided 6 of 24 obstacles and estimated coverage was about 1,243 sq ft per charge. Source
Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro 2 in 1
- Vacuum Wars (3.36/5): Above average on carpet pet hair (86%) and dried stains, average on deep carpet cleaning (76%) and obstacles, below average on battery and navigation. Ranked #20 on its Top 20 list. Source
- TechRadar: Tested the US RV2820ZE. Strong obstacle avoidance and threshold climbing and an easy app, but too much water left on wood floors, weak on fine powder in thick rugs and limited edge cleaning. No overall score published; sub scores were performance 4/5, design 4/5, app 4/5 and value 3.5/5. TechRadar gave a Performance 4/5 subscore but no overall rating. Source
- Tech Advisor: Never got stuck and handled gravy, coffee and mud stains in Stain Mode, but the extending pad did not reach corners and spot cleaning was hard to place precisely. Source
