Should I buy the Roborock Q5 Pro instead of a Roomba?

Yes, the [Roborock Q](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Roborock+Q&tag=wehavethat-20)5 Pro undercuts Roomba on price without skimping on features, offering stronger suction, LiDAR-based room mapping, and mopping capability for about $100 less. It’s a lot of extra robot for the money, especially if you’ve got families or pets generating the kind of mess that makes the mopping feature actually useful.
