The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
A user shares their experience with a Roborock Q5+ robot vacuum, describing generally positive performance with navigation and cleaning, but noting specific issues with notification reliability and occasional cleaning schedule problems. The vacuum successfully mapped their two-story house and navigates well around obstacles, including adapting to people in the kitchen during cooking. However, the user experiences inconsistent notification timing (immediate to several hours delayed or missing) and occasional cleaning schedule failures.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledI had mine map the house once downstairs, and once upstairs and it's been fine navigating around stuff ever since.
It comes into the kitchen area while I'm cooking and will eventually just come around for a second pass after my feet are out of the way.
I have mine set to notify me when it's done cleaning. Sometimes it will do it immediately after it's done, while other times the notification might come two or three hours after the fact. Still other times, not at all.
