1. Roborock S7+ robot vacuum and sonic mop with self-emptying dock
With the S7+ (pictured at the top of this post), Roborock says you can “mop with the power of sound.” That’s because the perky bot’s VibraRise sonic vibration technology scrubs your floors up to 3,000 times per minute using a 300ml water tank.
Got carpeting, too? A combination of carpets and floors presents no problem for this smart vacuum. When it detects a carpet, it lifts the mop out of the way. Now you can get mopped floors and vacuumed carpets in one go. Or you can tell the robot mop-vac to avoid carpets.
The S7+ leaves dirt nowhere to hide. With 2,500Pa of HyperForce suction power, the vacuum extracts dirt from cracks, carpets and anywhere else you can reach.
Even better, the vacuum holds up to eight weeks of dust, so you only need to empty it every couple of months. An onboard filtration system captures 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. When it’s time to empty, a swift pull of the dustbag seals it shut, ready for instant disposal.
The normal price of $949.98 is marked down to $679.99 from October 11 to October 15, a savings of $270 (28% off).

The Q5 is the upgraded version of Roborock’s S4 Max. With powerful 2,700Pa suction, the Roborock Q5 easily picks up pet hair, dust and finer specks of dirt from floors or carpets. When the Q5 detects carpet, it will automatically increase its suction to the maximum for deep cleaning.
The Roborock Q5 is compatible with the Auto Empty Dock Pure (sold separately), which offers automatic dust collection and holds up to seven weeks of dust.
The Q5’s LiDAR navigation creates accurate maps of your rooms, and the bot save up to four of them. First, use the vac’s 3D mapping to view your home. Then simply add furniture and floor materials to re-create your home virtually so the Q5 knows where to go.
With its 180-minute runtime, the Q5 can handle large homes. One charge powers cleaning of up to 3,230 square feet.
Q5’s multidirectional floating rubber brush stays close to the ground, ensuring effective cleanup even on uneven surfaces. Q5 is also compatible with the Roborock all-rubber main brush (sold separately).
Control your Q5 with the Roborock app
You can control every element of Q5 through the Roborock app, including viewing the exact vacuuming route, setting cleaning schedules, adjusting the suction power, creating no-go zones and invisible walls, and much more. And you can do it all from anywhere you have an internet connection.
Siri Shortcuts, Amazon Alexa and Google Home support let you command your Roborock Q5 to start/stop and more with the power of your voice. It’s great for when you don’t have your phone and for elderly users.
The normal price of $429.99 is marked down to $299.99 from October 11 to October 15, a savings of $130 (30% off).

The Roborock Q5+ robot vacuum does everything the Q5 does and then some. It uses proven vacuum technology and adds extra convenience and peace of mind, like advanced app control for customized cleaning routines and alerts if anything goes wrong.
But the main difference between the Q5 and the Q5+? The latter offers seven full weeks of hands-free cleaning. The self-emptying dock automatically dumps the Q5’s dustbin after each cleanup. That way, you don’t need to do it manually — or frequently. Its 2.5-liter dust bag can hold up to seven weeks of dirt.
The normal price of $699.99 is marked down to $479.99 from October 11 to October 15, a savings of $220 (31% off).

4. Roborock S7 robot vacuum and mop
The award-winning Roborock S7 robot vacuum is similar to the S7+, above, but without the self-emptying dock. It features the same epic sonic scrubbing power (up to 3,000 times per minute), intelligent mop lifting, an upgraded brush system, ultrasonic carpet recognition, LiDAR navigation, app and voice control, and more.
The normal price of $649.99 is marked down to $409.99 on October 11 and 12, a savings of $240 (37% off).

The S7 MaxV Plus features Roborock’s new ReactiveAI 2.0 obstacle-avoidance system. Powered by a combination of an RGB camera, 3D structured light and an all-new neural processing unit, the S7 MaxV Plus accurately recognizes objects in its path. Then, it quickly adapts to clean around them, regardless of lighting conditions.
The robot recognizes and positions furniture in the Roborock app. That lets users start a quick clean around dining tables or sofas with just a simple tap of an icon in the app. It even identifies rooms down to their unique flooring materials, recommending ideal cleaning patterns such as suction power and scrubbing intensity.
Designed for uninterrupted cleaning sessions, the S7 MaxV Plus also features Roborock’s acclaimed VibraRise technology, a combination of sonic mopping with an automatic mop lift designed to transition smoothly over contrasting surfaces, while delivering effective high-intensity scrubs to tackle surface dirt.
And with a maximum suction power of 5,100pa, the S7 MaxV delivers a deeper clean for customers. The S7 MaxV Plus is also certified by TÜV Rheinland for its cybersecurity safety standards.
The normal price of $1,159.99 is marked down to $869.99 on October 11 and 12, a savings of $290 (25% off).
