Roborock Q7 L5 review
The dockless counterpart of the Q7 L5+: 8,000 Pa, a comb-cleaned anti-tangle brush, LiDAR with three maps, a flat mop pad on an electric tank with three levels, and no obstacle sensor.

Our verdict
The Q7 L5 is the dockless model beside the Q7 L5+: it charges on a plain 160 × 70 × 101 mm dock, and Roborock's FAQ says it cannot empty itself even when set on an L5+ base. It vacuums at 8,000 Pa through a JawScrapers-comb main brush and an anti-tangle side brush, Roborock claims a 95% hair pick-up rate, and suction rises on carpet. The mop is a flat pad that neither vibrates nor rotates, fed by an electric tank with three flow levels that shares one module with the dust bin. PreciSense LiDAR keeps up to three maps and builds the first one in a quick-mapping run. There is no obstacle sensor, so cables and socks meet the bumper. The 3,200 mAh battery charges from 20 to 100% in three to four hours, the robot weighs 3.3 kg, and no runtime, noise, bin or tank figure is given; the warranty is two years in Germany and Poland. The Q7 M5 is the same idea with 10,000 Pa.

In detail
Suction and brushes
The manufacturer rates the suction at 8,000 Pa. That is less than most of the 105 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. The mop does not lift for carpet.
Navigation and obstacles
It navigates by LiDAR and avoids obstacles with none. It stores 3 floor plans. 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
The manufacturer publishes neither a runtime nor a noise figure.
