Tired of gimmicky robot appliances that don’t work? CNN Underscored associate testing writer Joe Bloss was too, but on his quest to find the best robot vacuums, he discovered the Roborock Q7 M5+. The highly capable home appliance picked up all kinds of debris in his home, including pesky pet hair, dead leaves and crushed chips. It succeeded on account of its superior suction power, reliable “JawScraper” brushroll and standout app.
After the Roborock Q7 M5+ scans your home, it builds a map of your floor space in the app. From there, you can cordon off sections of your home and schedule different cleaning times for each room. It’s this user-friendly customizability that set Roborock’s vacuum apart from the nine other vacuums Bloss tested. Its mopping performance wasn’t as impressive (most robot vacuums aren’t), but that isn’t an issue, as it’s easy to ignore that feature and focus on what the Roborock does best: keeping your floors dust- and debris-free.
