Can confirm even the Q5 Pro is a great deal at $139. I took sooooo long to buy a robot vacuum, and last time this was on sale I bought this one. 3 kids, 2 cats, under 2000 SF house, it is super convenient and has taken the ease off simple cleaning around the house. I empty it every 3 or so times doing the whole house, but a lot of times I'm just doing high traffic rooms. Couldn't be happier. It's also extremely easy to clean- the parts are made to come apart very easily, clean very easily, and reassemble. If you're on the fence, it's worth it
I don't know which is BEST, but just FYI, the Q5 Pro, while it says it has a mop function, it's not really automated... it's basically just a pad on the bottom, with a little reservoir for water. It has weep holes that gradually wet the mop, and they start as soon as you have water in it, and it doesn't stop until it's empty.
So it doesn't know when it's over carpet, so you have to make a separate map with no-go zones when you want to mop, then another map for carpeted areas. The mop doesn't lift up when it senses carpet (it doesn't sense carpet), nor will it cut the water off when it's parked.
HOWEVER, it does work as a mop if you are very attentive. So if you just leave the reservoir empty for regular use, then once a week or month, want to fill it with water, you just have to make sure you're around when it finishes, and grab the mop module off the robot, and empty it out in the sink when it's done.
But it really just wets the floor... no scrubbing involved. Better to just mop by hand as needed and leave the robot for just vacuuming. Or find a different unit that has more advanced functions.
It's an excellent vacuum and we bought it in august for $160, you really have to watch shoelaces and charging cables... it eats them and gets stuck on the regular.
Stay far away from deebot, the app and mapping software is utter trash. It was constantly forgetting the map, having to get babied, and stalling out. Roborock is the superior vacuum by far.
I picked up the Refurbished Q5 Pro+ with Self Empty eBay deal a few weeks ago. Upgraded from an old Wyze vacuum. Super happy with the purchase and very impressed all around.
Small house, only use it on the hardwood areas - everything but bedrooms. I did let it make a run through the master bedroom (carpet) and was surprised how well it did. With a pile of pets and a couple kids this thing picked up everything. The pick up rollers so a great job with long hair as well.
The mapping and sensors are crazy accurate, and the vacuum adjusts it's route each time if a piece of furniture isn't in the exact same spot each run. The option to have it only clean certain rooms is nice, no more closing doors so the vacuum doesn't eat sock or cords.
Well I feel dumb.. only clipped the coupon and didn't enter the code. I blame it on being 5am here. Thx for the heads up
I blame Amazon! I was tricked in the past when it comes to either or both coupon+code. Maybe just me, but I still dislike how they moved the code part into payment method, instead of just on the checkout screen…
I've been looking for a Robovac to get my mom for her condo and this one should do the trick. I was considering going with the Shark IQ that's on sale at Walmart, but the Roborock is $40+ cheaper with the discounts and the brand seems to have a better track record compared to Shark.
I bought a Roborock Q5 Pro for $160 a couple weeks ago. Contacted Amazon for price match. The said they dont price match. Instead they gave me $20 credit for items shipped and sold by amazon. I took it to avoid the hassle of ordering a new one and returning the old one.

I got the Q5 Pro for $140 for my main floor.
Hopefully it's a big upgrade from my Roborock S5.
