What testers say about the Roborock Q7 M5+

The Roborock Q7 M5+ is the Q7 M5 with a self-emptying dock: the same robot, with 10,000 Pa of suction, an anti-tangle main brush and side brush, lidar navigation, a clip-on mop with three water levels and a 3,200 mAh battery, on a RockDock Plus that empties the bin into a 2.7-liter bag for up to seven weeks. Wirecutter makes it its top pick, and TechRadar and RTINGS, which tested the Q7 M5 on its plain charging dock, name that robot their best budget and best cheap robot vacuum.

Wirecutter counts it among the most thorough cleaners and best navigators it tested: it remembers maps of several floors and is among the quietest robots in the test. RTINGS measured strong debris pickup, clearing most debris from hard floors in one pass and doing better on carpet than the pricier MOVA P10 Pro Ultra thanks to its bristled brush. TechRadar praises suction that is strong for the price, reliable navigation, and chunky wheels with suspension that take tall thresholds in their stride.

The limits come with the price: the side brush does not extend, so edges stay less clean, and the mop is quite wet and cannot lift, so it comes off for carpet. Long hair wraps around the roller despite the comb that is meant to stop it, as TechRadar found, while pet hair it picks up well: RTINGS names the Q7 M5 its best budget robot for pet hair. On obstacles the testers disagree: Wirecutter saw it avoid them better than its rivals, while TechRadar and RTINGS found its obstacle avoidance patchy, so clear cables and socks from the floor. For a cheap, dependable vacuum in a home that needs little mopping it is a strong pick, and with pets its self-emptying dock saves you emptying the bin, which the Q7 M5 leaves to you.

Roborock Q7 M5+ specifications

Climbs thresholds up to0.8 in

Runtime per charge180 min

Suction power10,000 Pa

Noise65 dB

Consumables: a 2.7 l dust bag in the station, which lasts up to 49 days.

Dimensionsrobot and dock

From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 3.9 in of clearance or more. The dock needs a spot 8.3 in wide and 7 in deep.

Suction and brushes 3 facts

Suction power Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.: 10,000 Pa
Anti-tangle brush A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.: yes
Extending side brush The side brush swings out in a corner or along a baseboard, so the dust there is swept in too.: no

Mopping 4 facts

Mop type How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.: flat or vibrating pad
Mop lift on carpet How far the robot lifts the mop when it drives onto a carpet. From about 0.4 in (10 mm) a medium pile stays dry.: no
Mop extends to the edges The pad slides out along a wall or a baseboard, so the last few inches are mopped as well.: no
Automatic mop detach The robot leaves the mop at the dock before it vacuums a carpet, so the carpet never gets wet.: no

Dock 10 facts

Empties the dust bin The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.: yes
Bagless The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.: no
Dust bag capacity How much the dust bag in the dock holds.: 2.7 l
Dust bag lasts How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.: up to 49 days
Washes the mop The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.: no
Dries the mop The dock dries the mop afterwards, so it does not sit there wet and start to smell.: no
Hot-air drying Drying is done with warm air instead of cold. It is faster and it helps against smell.: no
Dispenses detergent The dock mixes detergent into the water itself, from its own bottle.: no
Plumbing hookup The dock can be connected to the tap and the drain, so you never fill or empty a tank. It does need a connection nearby.: no
Dock size (w × d × h) The width, depth and height of the dock. Measure the spot you have in mind, and leave room for the lid and for the robot driving in.: 8.3 × 7 × 10.2 in (21.2 × 17.8 × 25.9 cm)

Navigation and obstacles 3 facts

Navigation How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognizes more.: LiDAR turret
Climbs thresholds up to The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.: 0.8 in (20 mm)
Climbing system for high thresholds An extending leg or wheel that carries the robot over a high threshold. Without one it usually stops at about 0.8 in (2 cm).: no

Robot 4 facts

Robot height How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.: 3.9 in (9.9 cm)
Robot diameter How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.: 12.8 in (32.5 cm)
Dust bin in the robot How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with a self-emptying dock, which empties the bin after every run.: 200 ml
Noise The noise in decibels, in the setting its source names: makers mostly give the standard setting, stores often the highest. 65 dB is like a vacuum at half power, 55 dB like a conversation.: 65 dB

Battery 2 facts

Battery capacity The capacity of the battery. It hints at the runtime, but how much the robot draws counts just as much.: 3,200 mAh
Runtime per charge How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.: 180 min
