Roborock Q10 S5+ robot vacuum

How long does the 2.7L dust bag last before needing replacement?

The 2.7L dust bag typically lasts up to 7 weeks with regular use, depending on your home size and cleaning frequency. Households with pets or high-traffic areas may need more frequent changes, whilst smaller homes with less debris could extend this period. The app will notify you when the bag needs replacing and you can purchase compatible bags from various retailers.

Can the robot clean multiple floors in one session?

Yes, the Q10 S5+ features multi-level mapping that remembers different floor layouts. The battery can typically handle cleaning two floors on a single charge, depending on the size of each level. The robot will automatically return to its dock when the battery runs low and can resume cleaning after recharging if needed.

How does the mopping system avoid wetting carpets?

The VibraRise 2.0 system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect carpet surfaces and automatically lifts the mop pad 8mm above the floor. This prevents water from contacting carpet fibres whilst allowing the vacuum function to continue. The system also stops water flow to the mop when carpets are detected, ensuring complete protection against water damage.

What happens if the robot gets stuck or encounters obstacles?

The ReactiveTech obstacle avoidance system uses structured light technology to detect and navigate around objects before contact occurs. If the robot does become stuck, it will attempt to free itself using various manoeuvres. The app will send notifications if manual intervention is required and you can set up no-go zones to prevent future issues in problematic areas.

How accurate is the mapping and navigation system?

The PreciSense LiDAR system scans 360 degrees to create detailed 3D maps with millimetre precision. Initial mapping typically takes 10-15 minutes for a single room, creating accurate floor plans that improve with each cleaning cycle. The system can navigate tight spaces and complex layouts whilst maintaining efficient cleaning patterns and avoiding previously cleaned areas.

Can I schedule different cleaning modes for different rooms?

Yes, the Roborock app allows you to set individual cleaning preferences for each mapped room. You can adjust suction levels, set mopping intensity, schedule specific cleaning times and create no-go zones. The robot remembers these settings and applies them automatically during scheduled or manual cleaning sessions, providing customised care for different areas of your home.

How effective is the anti-tangle brush system for pet hair?

The dual anti-tangle system includes a JawScrapers Comb main brush and specialised side brush designed to minimise hair wrapping. This configuration significantly reduces maintenance frequency compared to traditional brushes. The 10,000Pa suction power combined with the anti-tangle design makes it particularly effective for homes with pets, lifting embedded hair from carpets and hard floors.

What maintenance is required beyond emptying the dust bag?

Regular maintenance includes rinsing the mop pad after use, cleaning the water tank weekly and checking the brushes monthly for any remaining tangles. The sensors should be wiped clean periodically to maintain navigation accuracy. The app provides maintenance reminders and guides for each component, making upkeep straightforward and ensuring optimal performance throughout the robot's lifespan.
