- 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 hard floor robot at half its list price, with a slim body that fits under low furniture. TechGearLab ranked it first overall, but Vacuum Wars found the small bin and hair clogs a pain in a home with a shedding dog. Skip it if you have heavy shedding pets.

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 CurvX
- TechGearLab (85/100): Ranked first of 23 robots. Hard floor and mopping 9.3, carpet 8.4 with about 79% of debris cleaned, but only 52% of pet hair. Avoided 88% of obstacles. Measured 56.3 dB vacuuming. Source
- Vacuum Wars (3.69 Vacuum Wars stars): Long term test in a 750 sq ft home with a dog. Mopping was strong with vacuum then mop runs and nothing wrapped the brush, but the 260 ml bin clogged almost daily and it often tried to climb objects and needed help. Source
- Popular Mechanics: Picked up flour, corn flakes, rice and pet hair on several floors and reached under furniture better than most robots tested. First mapping took about 30 minutes. Source
