Yes,

S is better than Q (Q is the newer 'affordable' series)
Higher number = better
Plus = Auto-empty dock
Ultra = Ultra auto-empty dock (more features)

Wow this is the lowest I've seen the S7 MaxV Ultra, even tho it's refurbished, it's certified and sold by the actual company itself, and has a 2yr warranty. It's finally time to take the plunge. Thanks OP!

For those who are looking incredibly confused about the model delineations…
S = High End
Q = Affordable
# = Generation
Plus = Includes Basic Empty Dock
Ultra = Includes High End Dock (seems to be the triple dock or advanced dock with empty + maintain)
Max/MaxV/Max+ = Think of them like "model facelifts" of each model. Sometimes it's additional features, sometimes it's a more powerful motor.
Pro = Again, seems to be the "facelift" of each model with newer features.
+ = Again, different line of features on each model. It's pretty inconsistent.

Quote from jaxify0505 :
What is the difference that makes S7 have better object detection ? Looking at the product descriptions, they both have the same wording for object detection and mapping ?

Maybe I missed something.
I own Q Revo and am very happy with it. But I disabled object detection altogether because it's junk and make sure my floor is clean of debris before I make it clean. Q Revo switched from camera to structured light sensor because of security concerns and it's just not good. There are other vacuums that use structured light main sensor with combination of laser sensors on each side like S8 for example and offer security and very good object detection. But Q Revo is a midrange vacuum and lacks additional laser sensors to compliment main sensor and object detection is worthless. Your better off disabling object detection completely and saving yourself a lot of time managing phantom objects in the app that don't exist.

I recall reading how some people were getting refurb units with hair and nail clippings still in them. Is that still happening?
Gross. That's the thing with refurbs. Although a vacuum inevitably gets dirty I still can't do it. Unless they were listed as refurb but were basically brand new.

So who's paying $1k for a vacuum?
People who aren't broke like myself, or those who will go into more debt and eat interest on a credit card.

We have s7 maxv ultra for downstairs, and the q5+ for upstairs. S7 was new. Q5+ was refurbished. We lucked out and it was brand new. I'd recommend them

S models are higher end. Q comes out after and usually comes with a larger dry bin capacity and higher suction than the S model but with worse technology. I own an S7 and the ultrasonic mop has carpet detection where it will raise the mop when it contacts a carpeted surface. The Q7 has a fixed mop without any carpet detection.
Except the fancy mopping, don't see any technology difference. Why worst? You mean Q7 is an erratic robot.

I had the original xaiomi and it's still going strong. Need another. I really dont care about auto empty or mop. Is my best bet just the regular s7?

Is it just me or have the prices changed with the coupon now? I'm seeing the Roborock S7 MaxV as $791 now. Never mind, its the tax added.

How well does the Q5 do on all carpet flooring?
I've been running the Q5+ (the one with the emptying dock) for 4 months now, and it's the best robot vac I've owned. The room mapping is very good, the battery lasts a long time, and it does very well with low and medium pile rugs. It doesn't work will on high pile (but neither do regular vacuums for that matter).

If you are running on carpet, I do suggest you set the app so it runs on high or max power instead of the auto sensing. I find by the time the motor spins up it misses spots.

Trust me- get the auto empty dock. You'll never go back.

Love the Q5+ I got a while back.

Tempted to either get a second one for upstairs, or move the Q5+ upstairs (fully carpeted) and buy one with a mop for downstairs. Now that I've seen how well the Q5+ navigates compared to my old robo vac, I would be willing to trust it with liquids/mopping duties.

Unfortunately the self emptying/cleaning mop combos are still pretty expensive.

So what's the consensus on the condition of their refurbs? Do they usually look heavily used/gross or like new?

Based on this thread and previous refurb threads it's a hit or miss on what you get. Some folks are getting like new hardly used with low hours, on the other end of the spectrum folks are getting dirty bins, still filled with trash, some dents and scratches. Overall it's a lottery in terms of getting like new refurb. It has a 30 day return policy, so can always give it a shot and throw it back if you don't receive a tolerable set.

I bought s7 maxv from their ebay store, around 6 months ago, refurbished, it was new!
we use it everyday, for 1 floor, works like a charm, still going strong. no issues. very happy with the purchase. Highly recommend.
Note: we make a solution (water + fabuloso) in sprayer bottle and spray the mop pad with it and it works amazing.
Also, bought some mop pads from amazon, so we change them for each run.
p.s. they do shrink, but still work good.
