Roborock Q7 M5+ is the value pick for buyers who mostly need a strong vacuum that empties itself. Roborock sells it as the upgrade to the Q5 Max+, which was out of stock on its US store when we checked. Suction is rated at 10,000 Pa with an automatic boost on carpet, and a dual anti-tangle system, a JawScrapers comb main brush plus an anti-tangle side brush, is designed to keep pet hair from wrapping. The RockDock Plus holds a 2.7 L bag that Roborock says lasts up to 7 weeks. PreciSense LiDAR maps the home and remembers several floors. Mopping is basic: a detachable pad with three water levels and no washing, drying or lifting, so it suits quick wipes rather than real scrubbing, and no camera obstacle avoidance is listed. At $359.99 it ranks sixth on value, not cleaning power.
