There are so many models, I'm editing to add a link to
this comparison chart [reddit.com] (update here's an even
MORE DETAILED COMPARISON CHART [reddit.com] thanks JohnS3825) along with this advice from my comment below :
1) If all you need is vacuuming, then just get the most basic Q5 model. They are excellent robot vacs that are quite smart and vacuum well and will last a long time.
2) You don't even really need a self-emptying dock unless you have a heavy hair, carpet, and pet-shedding situation.
3) If mopping is important to you, then the newer, more expensive Qrevo models may be worth it. They have the dual spinning mop design and a dock that disinfects and dries the mops between cycles.
4) Ignore the "obstacle avoidance" feature when choosing a vac. They haven't gotten this right yet on any model so that shouldn't be your deciding factor.
5) To narrow it down further, choose the vac that's right for
your home rather than the one recommended by random strangers. If you have low-clearance furniture you want to vacuum under, then measure that height and it could be a slim model is the only one that could get under it (they do vary -- unfortunately height isn't in the chart linked above). If you have high thresholds to cross between rooms, pick a model that has the clearance to get over the thresholds. If you have high pile carpets, pick a vac that has high clearance or is smart enough not to accidentally mop them.
6) The very newest models (Qrevo Curv and Qrevo Edge) truly do it all. They have this new "DuoDivide" brush and a redesigned side brush that remarkably do not get anything tangled in them. Their self-cleaning docks heat and disinfect the mops better than previous models. But they are crazy expensive and I hestitate to tell anybody to spend that much on a robot vac. By next year they'll probably have these features in models half this price.
QA Note: Though the sale dates are in the past, many of these deals are still available.

Its the version that was released before Q revo S and all others mentioned by OP.

Disagree with point #2 - the self emptying and self filling dock is a game changer, took us to running the vacuums 3-4x per month instead of once every 2-3 months because of the massive reduction of effort of set up and emptying/drying/mop cleaning when cleaning hard floors.
If we could get our kids to pick up their toys we could run daily.
Before the Dreames we used iRobot Scoobas then switched to a Bissell Crosswave because, though manual, it was roughly the same effort in post-cleaning nonsense. Aside from adding and emptying water once every 3-4 cleans I haven't touched the Dreames in months.
Personally the edge mopping and spin brush is important for me. But all the models with that seems fairly expensive so I might wait to see if eBay has refurbished deals on the revo pro. I have had good luck with their refurb units.
If you mean "won't get stuck" because of obstacle avoidance, the OP is right. They're all fairly bad at that. But the only way to get decent avoidance is spending a ton. If you mean won't get stuck under things/on rugs/etc., then I've had good luck with my Q5. It rarely gets stuck and will try backing up if stuck under something

Can anyone who's current on all these models tell me which would be best for pet hair, medium-pile carpet, and has a self-emptying dock? I don't care about mopping as my house is mostly carpet.
