I bought this when it was on sale at Costco for around $270. The cleaning performance seemed fine and the self-emptying dustbin was nice. The app, however, was complete trash. For as many years as this company has been making robot vaccums, I was honestly surprised by the amateurish feel of the app and limited functionality. Yes you can schedule a cleaning, but not a specific room. Want to map another level of your home? Nope, not supported.
I happily returned it and got the Roborock Q5 Pro on sale for $140, and am so much happier with it. The app is more refined and polished with lots more features, and even shows you where the robot is in real-time as it cleans. It also supports mapping up to 4 levels of your home, and scheduling specific rooms. It doesn't have a self-emptying dustbin, but I can live with that at this price point.

Is Roborock Q5 Pro still on sale or we missed the deal? Is there any other Roborock which you recommend with mop better function? They have so many different models it is very confusing

The Q5 Pro is currently at $160 on Amazon, which is still a decent price. I had setup a deal alert on slickdeals so I'd get notified of new roborock deals which enabled me to get it at $140, because I missed it the previous time it was that price.
If you are specifically looking for mopping functionality, then the Q5 Pro is probably not what you want. I haven't tested it, but have heard it doesn't do a great job at mopping. What you will want is a model that has dual spinning mops. You can check out the VacuumWars channel on Youtube to see how various models compare. I recommend checking the history of roborock deals on slickdeals to get an idea of what price points the different models have gone for, and then setting up deal alerts if you want to wait for the best price to purchase.

I bought this a few months ago on Woot around the same price. I don't recommend it, the battery died on this unit just after 2 cleanings. I told Woot, and they said to contact Shark who did send me a new battery but the unit still seems sluggish or off. Thanks alot Woot. Next time, I will pay extra for a new one.
