[Electronics-Talk] Roborock Q5

[Kay Malmquist]

Well, it looks like I will be the proud owner of a Q5Pro.  I hope the setup 
is reasonably easy.  Anything I should know before I jump in to this?  It 
will be arriving on Tuesday or Wednesday.  The last robotic vacuum I had was 
two Roombas around ten years ago.  I'm looking forward to something that 
just might be able to keep up with the pet hair.  We also bought an extra 
filter and bags for it.

Hi.


There are two apps, Roborock and Mi Home. If one doesn't work as well
the other one might work out. Alexa integration works a little better
when using Roborock app though. I mostly just use my Android to run our
Roborock S6 and yes I can't do anything with the map or no go zones, but
I can schedule it. I can also make it restart the map and explore the
whole home again and such. Are you shopping from outside the USA?
Because the prices are better than you quoted.


For me, the regular Q5 is a lot less than the price you quoted? Only $219USD

And then there's the q5pro, which has a lot more suction and adds a
mopping function. Costs $279.99

Really good deal I think. We paid $450 for our S6 and it was a Black
Friday deal for like a third off the original price. Q5pro has more
suction and two brushes versus ours with only one.
