BuzzFeed editor Daniel Boan has and loves this robot vac:
“I’ve always wanted a robotic vacuum, and after getting a chance to try the Roborock Q5+, I can’t believe I waited so long. I absolutely hate vacuuming, so the ability to have a magical little robot clean my entire apartment at the touch of a button is an absolute lifesaver. The accompanying app is very easy to use — I typically use it to set up custom cleaning schedules — and the smart mapping feature was extremely accurate on the very first try. There are definitely cheaper options on the market, but what makes this worth the extra splurge is the self-emptying feature. Once the robotic vacuum is done cleaning, it finds its way back to the charging base and empties itself into a dust bag that lasts for up to seven weeks. My apartment has never been cleaner!“
Promising review: “This thing runs without a hiccup every time. With kids and dogs in the house, things get messy. This vacuum handles it all with grace, my floors end up always clean and grit-free. I love that it doesn’t bang into furniture either. The sensors do a great job with identifying obstacles, walls, furniture, people, dogs, etc. so it doesn’t actually bump into stuff to identify its surroundings.” —Kaeli
