Looking at the Q7 L5 for my basement. I want a cheap Roborock that will be able to navigate a couple of cords and things around my lamps and a rug.
I currently have a Roomba down there that is not really all that smart - it just bumps around and hits things and cleans as it goes.
I can't tell you what the newest lineup is like, but I have the Q5 Roborock since a few years and love it. It's smart mapping. First it scans and saves a map of your layout. Then, every other time you start it: It does the perimeter first to verify the room has not changed, updates the map as needed, then zigzags from side to side in a nice/logical combing pattern. If you say to clean the area twice, it will comb in the other direction. (Think side to side, then top to bottom))The map is so accurate, you can drop a pin and say: clean at this specific pinned location. You can also manually move it with a "joystick" in the app. You can create "don't go here locations on the map.(vs some brands that require a tape on the floor)

If you just need it for vacuuming, you'll be happier with any Roborock model. The cheaper ones are fine. Unless you have a huge pet hair problem, you don't need self-emptying. If you have long hair issues, the new anti-tangle designs are better. Just plan to check under the robot and remove any tangles when you empty the dust bin.
If mopping is important to you, then the much more expensive models like the Edge are worth considering. They are more effective at mopping, but even more importantly their newer dock designs are better at keeping things sanitary (and not becoming a petri dish for mold and mildew).

Thank you! No pets, so the cheapest one is probably fine for where I am planning to place it. Anything with lidar and the ability to not run over a cord if it's there is going to fix it for me.

Ah, yes. Obstacle recognition. I told you that you'd be thrilled with any Roborock, but I will warn you now that object recognition isn't a terribly reliable feature.
But I have my own thoughts about this feature. I turn it off on my robots. Let's say you lose a sock deep under the bed. With object recognition, the robot (theoretically) will recognize it as a sock and steer around it. The robot finishes its cycle, but there's a spot on the floor that doesn't get cleaned and you don't find your lost sock.
With object recognition turned off, the sock gets stuck in the robot, you get a notification on the app telling you where on the map the robot is stuck, you get your sock, and the robot finishes its cycle.
