The self-emptying feature gives the Roborock Q7 Max+ an edge over some other robot vacuums , sparing you from dumping its dustbin daily. After the robot returns to its base after cleaning, it offloads its dirt into a roomy, 2.5-liter reservoir in the base. That reservoir can stockpile up to seven weeks' worth of dust, crumbs, and pet fur, Roborock says, meaning you may change it only once a month. If even that often, reviewers say , "It's been a couple of months, and I still haven't had to empty it."

And not only does the Q7 Max+ empty itself, it handles vacuuming and mopping in a single run, doing twice the work in half the time, with what users call dazzling results. "The cleaning performance is outstanding," one reviewer raves . "The vacuum power is strong enough to pick up all kinds of debris, from fine dust to larger particles, and … the mopping function is a fantastic addition, leaving my floors spotless and saving me a lot of manual labor."

The secret to its spot-on performance that reviews call "magical" is LiDAR technology, which uses lasers to map out every nook and cranny of your home. With that digital map and LiDAR to guide its movements, the Roborock can nimbly dodge furniture, work its way around obstacles like wayward toys and piles of laundry, and even detect whether it’s on carpet or hard floors and adjust its cleaning mode.

Roborock's intuitive app gives you plenty of control, too, allowing you to schedule cleaning routines, and set up no-go zones for worry-free tidying. It even designates cleaning preferences room by room, so, say, the kitchen can get the kind of deep clean that a guest bedroom may not require. And even better: Roborock integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, too, to fit right in with your other smart home devices , doorbell cams, light bulbs and more.

Reviewers swear the Q7 Max+ is " a game-changer ," a " huge quality of life boost ," and " the best cleaning investment I’ve ever made.
