Our Verdict

Roborock S5

Roborock Q5/Q5+

The Roborock Q5 is better than the Roborock S5. The Q5 can be bundled with a self-emptying station that reduces hands-on cleaning requirements and has a stronger suction motor that yields improved performance on carpeted floors. However, the S5 feels better built, and it has a mopping feature that allows it to scrub away dried-on stains, though it isn't especially effective in that regard.
