Our Verdict

Roborock Q5/Q5+

Roborock S8+/S8

The Roborock S8 is better than the Roborock Q5, but that isn't surprising, given the significant price disparity. The S8 features a front-facing optical sensor that allows it to react to hazards in real-time, a dual-roller cleaning head that does a better job of resisting hair wraps, and a highly effective mopping system. That said, the Q5's standard-fit bristled roller does provide more surface agitation on carpet, which helps offset a portion of its on-paper power deficit.
