Roborock’s pet-ready Q5 Pro robot vacuum is on sale for under $200


In many ways, Roborock’s big-wheeled robot vacuum / mop hybrid is made to tackle pet hair. The midrange vacuum features dual rubber brushes and 5,500Pa of suction power, which allows it to suck up pet hair and dirt from carpets impressively well. It also features a huge 770ml bin — preventing you from having to empty it every day — and a removable mopping pad that can clean up whatever dust the Q5 Pro doesn’t catch on its initial pass. It offers the same software features as the Q Revo and S8 MaxV Ultra, too, meaning you can still set digital keep-out zones and take advantage of features like lidar mapping and voice controls via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri.
That being said, the Q5 Pro is Roborock’s entry-level model, so there are trade-offs. It lacks an auto-empty dock (unless you opt for the more expensive Plus model), and it won’t actually scrub your floors like a high-end robovac might. It also lacks AI-powered obstacle avoidance, though, thankfully for anyone with kids or a cluttered household, it can still dodge shoes and larger objects well enough.
