Our verdict
The Q10 X5 is the Q7 M5 with the two things that model lacks: a structured-light obstacle sensor and an auto-lifting mop. It vacuums at 10,000 Pa through a main brush whose JawScrapers comb strips hair and an anti-tangle side brush, boosts on carpet, lifts its pad over rugs and thresholds under 2 cm, maps by PreciSense LiDAR with several maps in memory, and steers round clutter with Reactive Tech structured light. The 5,200 mAh battery runs 150 minutes for 180 m² and refills from 20 to 100% in three to four hours on a plain charging dock, since there is no auto-empty, washing or refilling; the bin and tank share one slide-in module of unstated size. Roborock prints no warranty term, noise figure or map count. It is the cheapest robot in this catalogue with both LiDAR and an obstacle sensor; the slightly dearer Q10 S5+ adds an auto-empty dock.

In detail
Suction and brushes
The manufacturer rates the suction at 10,000 Pa. That is less than most of the 114 robot vacuums we list. The main brush is the tangle-resistant type, with one side brush. On carpet the suction rises automatically.
Mopping
Mop system: static pad. It lifts the mop over carpet.
Navigation and obstacles
It navigates by LiDAR and avoids obstacles with structured light. It climbs thresholds up to 20 mm. That is less than most of the 71 robot vacuums with a published figure. No-go zones can be drawn in the app.
The dock
There is no self-emptying dock: the bin is emptied by hand.
Battery, charging and noise
One charge runs up to 2 h 30 min. The manufacturer publishes no noise figure.
