The Roborock Q5 Max+ offers a balance between affordability and functionality, making it a great choice for those who want a reliable robot vacuum without breaking the budget. With its powerful suction power of 5500Pa, it easily handles dust, dirt and animal hair on both hard floors and carpets. The Q5 Max+ also comes with a self-emptying system via a new RockDock, meaning you don't have to empty the dust container for up to 7 weeks.

Another standout feature is the advanced navigation system that uses laser-based LiDAR technology to map your home and clean with precision. You can control the vacuum cleaner via the Roborock app where you can schedule cleaning, adjust suction power, and create virtual boundaries.

The battery life is strong and lasts up to 4 hours, making it capable of cleaning large surfaces on a single charge. For multi-storey households, there is the ability to save multiple maps, and with integrations for voice control via Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Siri, the user experience is even smoother.
