- Suction

- Navigation
- Top mounted LiDAR
- Mopping
- Yes
- Runtime
- Up to 150 min
The best known way to get strong suction, LiDAR mapping and a bagged auto empty dock for about $250. RTINGS named the Q7 M5 its best budget robot vacuum, and testers agree it cleans hard floors and carpet well. Long hair still wraps the brush, the mop is basic, and it has no front sensor, so pick up cables first.

A strong pick for apartments and homes that are mostly hard floor, because the self cleaning roller mop scrubs harder than the spinning pads on older Qrevo models. Reviewers found edge and corner cleaning inconsistent and small object avoidance only average. Skip it if you have low furniture, lots of carpet or want detergent dosing built into the dock.

What reviewers found
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
- 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
- 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
Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow
- CyberShack (8.7/10): Excellent hard floor vacuuming at 91% to 95% and good mopping close to skirting, above average on short and medium pile carpet, but weak on carpet pet hair and no edge or corner cleaning on carpet. Measured 100 to 125 minutes of real runtime. Source
- Gizmodo: Called the roller mop the most powerful robot mop it had tested where it can reach, with good hair and sand pickup, but edge gaps of around 8 inches at times, a swallowed USB C cord and sock, and limited battery for large homes. Source
- Vacuum Wars (3.64/5): Strong vacuum with 87% carpet sand removal and 0% hair tangles, but a combined mopping score of 13.7 against a 22.75 category average and 16 of 24 obstacles avoided. Headline verdict: strong vacuum, disappointing mopping. Source
