In this video we analyze the Roborock Q5's carpet (general and deep cleaning), hard floor, edge, and hair (human and pet) pickup performance. We also discuss the robot's raw performance (CFM and suction), navigation and coverage, battery life, bin size, and noise output.
The Q5 is one of the best midrange robot vacuums we've tested. Compared to most other robots at its price, it offers better all-around performance, and especially better navigation.
