Is the Roborock Q5 Pro a good budget alternative to the Roomba j7+?

Yes, the [Roborock Q](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+Q&tag=wehavethat-20)5 Pro delivers roughly 90% of the [Roomba j](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roomba+j&tag=wehavethat-20)7+'s cleaning performance for about $150 less. For pet owners in apartments, it’s a smart budget pick — you lose the poop-detection camera but gain better navigation and longer battery life.
