Is the Roborock Q5 Pro a good value at $449?

Yes, the [Roborock Q](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+Q&tag=wehavethat-20)5 Pro at $449 sits in a sweet spot — less than flagship Roomba models but above bargain-bin robots. You get LiDAR navigation, strong suction, a 470ml dustbin, and a 5200mAh battery for an entire floor. It saves you $150 over the j7+ with arguably better specs, and while budget models under $300 cost less, the Q5 Pro gives you reliability and features that actually work. It’s one of the best value propositions in mid-range robot vacuums right now.
