5 Reasons the Roborock Q5 Pro Beats the Roomba j7+

It costs $150 less The [Roborock Q](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+Q&tag=wehavethat-20)5 Pro is significantly cheaper than the [Roomba j](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roomba+j&tag=wehavethat-20)7+, with no sacrifice in cleaning power.

It has stronger suction The Q5 Pro offers 5,500Pa of suction, while the j7+ maxes out at 2,500Pa. That means better pickup on carpets and hard floors.

It has a longer battery life The Q5 Pro runs for up to 180 minutes on a single charge, compared to the j7+’s 75 minutes. It can clean larger homes without needing to recharge.

It avoids obstacles just as well Both robots use advanced obstacle avoidance, but the Q5 Pro’s LiDAR navigation is faster and more reliable in the dark than the j7+’s camera-based system.

It self-empties for weeks The Q5 Pro’s dock holds dust for up to 7 weeks, while the j7+’s holds for about 60 days. Both are hands-off, but the Roborock requires less frequent bag changes.
