I don't understand why everyone here likes this brand so much. I looked up how repairable they are and they are about as unlikely to be repairable as any other cheap Chinese brand. All the parts are put in with a gazillion screws and wires, with you needing to take the thing almost entirely apart just to replace a specific motor.At least iRobot parts are all modular so you don't have to buy an entirely new vacuum bot every year when a wheel gets stuck.
I've had mine for 5 years and I have a Samoyed so this thing runs twice a day. I had to replace a motor a couple years back and it was no big deal, it came with the motor and whole wheel assembly. Parts are readily available on Amazon and AliExpress. This year I replaced the 5 year old battery which only took a couple minutes. In general the cleaning performance, pathing, mapping, object detection is better than anything iRobot has.
This allowed me to move my Eufy G32 pro upstairs. It's several years old and now very loud but still sucking. I've repaired it once and replaced the battery once.
I believe the Q7 is better overall and not just because it's newer. It's quieter than the G32 ever was ,cleans the carpets better and hasn't gotten stuck yet - the G32 tends to get in bad situations. I will be buying more Roborocks in the future.

For this price the Q Revo is still a good pickup, the Q Revo Master is way overpriced.... Especially when you can get a brand new Yeedi for $700 with the extending self cleaning mop and high Pa, along with all the latest bells and whistles...

Yeah most of these smart devices only connect to 2.4 Ghz, so that could've been it. I connect all my "Smart" stuff to 2.4 and everything else to 5 anyway.

I use my Q5 on our second floor and it has been about as automatic as you can get- it uses LIDAR and gets all of our bedrooms and hallways every day with little issue. I have to clean the rollers maybe once a month and it gets stuck on an errant towel maybe once or twice a month.
Filters, rollers, wheels, brushes...they both pop out and parts are easily accessible. If you're talking about repairing the motor, I'm not sure most people are ever going to experience that.
I have had a roomba 560 for 13 years that still works perfectly after replacing drop-in parts from ebay or irobot over the years. The modularity of those bots is amazing. Would these Roborock last as long? From reports I see online and in videos, doesn't look like it.
Granted, irobot bots are vastly overpriced considering the features they have, I just like my stuff to last.

Has this improved in recent LIDAR models?
Tempting though, we have a Bessel upright mop. I wonder if these mopping robots could replace it.
