Roborock Q5+ can clean all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, giving best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space.
This can be used for several purposes, for example the Roborock Q5+ having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and the Roborock Q5+ supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in homes where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock Q5+ are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. Roborock Q5+ is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets.
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. The Roborock Q5+ has 4 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum.

When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. Roborock Q5+ has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and washed to maintain the vacuum's performance.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good for the environment. Roborock Q5+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 0.35L
carries less dirt than the Roborock Q5+ with a difference of only 0.15L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. The Roborock Q5+ adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied.
Roborock Q5+ supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. Roborock Q5+ weighs 7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 4.9kg

Roborock Q5+ has a width of 350mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 353mm
measures more in width than the Roborock Q5+ by 3mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Roborock Q5+'s height measures 96mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 96.5mm
measures more in height than the Roborock Q5+ with a difference of 0.5mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge.
It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock Q5+'s battery power is 5,200mAh
