- Which is better for pet hair?
- The roborock Q10 S5+ is the stronger pick. It has 10,000 Pa suction, a dual anti-tangle brush system and a HEPA filter, and its dock holds pet hair for weeks. The Samsung is marketed to pet owners too, but it has less suction headroom and no HEPA certification.
- Do I need the roborock if I only have carpets?
- Not necessarily. The roborock's mopping is its main extra, and its mop lifts on carpet. If you never mop, the Samsung covers carpet and high-pile carpet at a much lower price.
- Which lasts longer per charge?
- The roborock. It is rated at 180 minutes, with Roborock claiming up to 150 minutes of cleaning, against 60 minutes for the Samsung. The Samsung also needs about 155 minutes to recharge.
- Is the roborock worth the extra money?
- Yes if you want mopping, HEPA filtration and a self-emptying dock. At $299.99 to $329.99 it replaces two devices and daily bin emptying. If you only vacuum and want to spend little, the Samsung is enough.
- Which is easier to live with?
- The roborock, because you empty its dock about every 7 weeks instead of the bin after each run. The Samsung is far lighter at 8.38 lbs, so it is easier to carry between floors.
- Will either work with Alexa or Google Assistant?
- Both do. The Samsung supports Alexa and Google Assistant, and so does the roborock.
