Pros & cons
Roborock QV 35A
- ✓Complete self-maintaining dock (empty, wash, refill, dry) at a budget price
- ✓Excellent hard-floor pickup from fine dust to large debris
- ✓Reliable LiDAR mapping and the mature Roborock app with multi-floor maps
- ✓Anti-tangle brushes genuinely resist pet-hair wrap
- ✓Dual spinning mops scrub better than flat-pad budget rivals
- ✓180-minute runtime covers large homes in one charge
- ✗Cold-water mop washing and cool-air drying — mops can sour if neglected
- ✗Sensor-based obstacle avoidance still eats cables and socks occasionally
- ✗8,000 Pa is mid-tier for deep carpet cleaning
- ✗10 mm mop lift is too little for medium/plush carpet
- ✗Only a 1-year warranty
Roborock Q10 S5+
- ✓Self-empty dock rated for about 7 weeks between bag changes
- ✓10,000 Pa suction with 150-minute runtime
- ✓VibraRise 2.0 vibrating mop and auto mop lifting on carpet
- ✓PreciSense LiDAR with 4-map multi-floor memory
- ✓Only $30 more than the non-self-empty Q10 S5
- ✗No auto mop washing or hot water drying in the dock - mop pad still needs manual attention between deep cleans
- ✗Roborock doesn't publish dustbin capacity, water tank size, or noise level
- ✗At 14.8 lbs it's noticeably heavier than the non-self-empty S5
