Might Work For You If There is Never Anything On Your Floor
Color: Black
Well, after having this for about 3 months now, I have to say that I am mostly unimpressed. A friend of mine talked me into getting this specific model because she owned and said she did a ton of research and it was the absolute best for pet hair. I old her thats great, but is it really going to get around and pick up all the dog hair without me having to constantly deal with it? Well she said yes, but I find the answer to be a resounding NO.
First off, the wheel constantly clogs. You basically have to clean the floor before you have the vacuum go clean the floor, otherwise it will get jammed on something, napkins/papertowel/softener sheets or plush stuffing from dog toys seem to be what generally causes the roller clogs on my machine. That is of course when it isn't trying to suck up a bathroom rug, or rag left on the floor.
I certainly can not allow it to just do a whole home clean. Even if it wasn't going to get caught on something, in my 1340 sq ft home with 3 dogs it can't handle picking up all that dirt without being emptied at least once first. I definitely have to empty it before and/or after every use.
I will say that while it remains connected to the network (I have google fiber so I know it isn't weak network issues) the app provides some nice abilities like creating partitions and splitting up rooms. I do like that I can tell it to clean certain areas, then let it go back and charge, empty it, and then tell it to clean different areas. That said, being able to get into the vacuum options is not obvious and takes a little digging. I also find that it doesn't do a great job of cleaning against walls or in corners.
All of my floors are hard surfaces (tile or laminate flooring) so I can't tell you how well it works on the carpet. When I can use, after I have picked up anything that might clog it, I will say that it generally makes it so I don't have to do much sweeping, which is nice, but still, for the price, is it really worth it?
I am too afraid to try to use the mop capabilities. I don't trust it at all to actually mop and not just make a wet mess.
I am also guessing I am probably going to need to replace the roller sooner than later, at least taking the roller on and off mostly pretty easy. While removing the dust chamber isn't particularly difficult, setting it back in isn't hard, but you do have to get it just right, which rarely ever happens on the first try, so you do have to futz with it a bit, usually.
Over all, not sure I would buy one again, but I think if I did, I would at least get one that self empties, would save me a little bit having to constantly empty it myself.
For reference purposes, I have a 1 story home that is about 1340 sq ft. I rarely have it vacuum in the bathrooms or closets, so I am saying it needs to be emptied at least once if not twice to just deal with the remaining parts of the home.
I also think it is fairly noisy. Certainly not as noisy as an upright "real" vacuum, but I can definitely hear it vacuuming and bumping into things while it is in entirely different rooms than the one I am in.
Lastly, I hate having to deal with reconnecting it to the network, it is a real pain. The app has never worked for me as far as scanning the QR code goes. I didn't use it for about a week, and it disconnected itself from the network. I had to go through the reconnection steps 3 times to get it back on the network, and then it said my map had changed (it hadn't, and it has had this hiccup twice before as well) so I had to reset it one more time before it finally fully recalibrated and I was able to use it again.
I generally have to go check on it a few times as it is cleaning and make sure it is actually picking up dirt etc, because if one of its ports gets clogged early with maybe some stuffing, or a napkin, or larger towel, it won't pick up anything else but it will keep running and not tell you there was any issue. It just tells you it is finished and then you still see stuff all over the floor and know something must have clogged it.
I haven't owned any other robot vacuums so I can't tell you how it stacks up against the other brands. My guess is they are all pretty similar or worse, but maybe you will have better luck than me.

Very good product with a poor ap **UPDATED TWO YEARS LATER** Please read for useful troubleshooting
OK, it has been two years and I am updating my review. I am keeping the 5 stars because the vac is working as good now as it was when new. But it has not been without its ups and downs.
After about a year, I began to notice it wasn't picking up nearly as good as it once did and I started looking for new vacs. I stumbled across a review for a completely different product. This reviewer, having the same problem, different product, had found a "hidden" filter deep inside his vac. So, one day when using my leaf blower outside, I decided to use it to blow out the q5. Dust went everywhere and I was amazed at how much the vac quieted down and began suction like new! Apparently I hadn't noticed the increase in noise as the vac labored against restricted flow. It was nothing short of a complete renewal. But, I began to have problems with the cliff sensors. It would falsely sense a cliff and refuse to vac that area. I noticed a buildup of dust INSIDE the cliff sensors. (apparently they are not airtight) With a can of compressed air, I was able to blow out the sensors and it straightened right up, again to like-new efficiency. I have integrated the practice of blowing compressed air into the sensors as well as EVERY crevice that dust could accumulate into my cleaning/emptying routine and now, two years after purchase, I get like-new performance from the q5. I would still recommend this, just be prepared for a still-clunky app that you WILL become accustomed to. Good Luck!!
OK, so I'm giving this five stars because it is so much better than I had anticipated and I want people to read this review. The product itself IS five-star. The ap, maybe two. Keep in mind that I haven't had it too long and maybe with a little more experience, the ap might be more palatable. But here goes:
I use this in a basement where the floors are mostly smooth concrete, with one room low-pile carpet. As long as you keep the vac emptied, it works great. I have a husky dog and his undercoat shedding is a disaster of epic proportions. It sucks up his hair like a champ on both surfaces. When it gets pretty full, it will dump dog hair and dust at the edge of every rug it passes over. But that's my fault. The robot seemingly wanders around like a drunk, and somehow it unerringly chases after the dog wherever he goes, but it knows what it's doing once it maps out the area. The problems come when you want it to do something different, like just clean one of the rooms. Most of the time, the selection on the ap to select just one room simply doesn't work. Sometimes it does, so I know I'm doing it right. You can install an "invisible wall" but so far it has been impossible for me to put in a HORIZONTAL wall, so I gave up. Putting in a "zone" has been more successful, but still a pain. The only thing in my areas that it will not clean are the door mats, made of very thin carpeting. Hair gets stuck in there and the vac simply can't suck or scrub it up. But that's minor. I can scrape the hair off with a shoe and the vac obligingly sucks it right up. Overall, this was good purchase and I can't imagine dealing with "Operation Fur Drop" without it.

User friendly and I highly recommend
Color: White
I recently purchased the Manvins Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo with WiFi capabilities, and it has been a game-changer for keeping my home clean. The setup was incredibly easy, and I was able to connect it to my smartphone in minutes using the app. Once connected, I can schedule cleaning sessions, monitor progress, and control the vacuum and mop remotely, which is super convenient.
The vacuum picks up dust, pet hair, and debris effortlessly, even from carpets. The mop function is a nice bonus, and it does a great job of leaving floors streak-free. I was surprised at how well it handled both tasks simultaneously, and it’s great to not have to worry about switching between modes
The WiFi feature really shines when I’m away from home. I can activate the cleaning process from anywhere, and it returns to its charging station when it’s done. It even maps out my home as it cleans, ensuring that it doesn’t miss any spots.
Overall, this robot vacuum and mop combo has made cleaning much more efficient, and I love how easy it is to keep my floors spotless with minimal effort. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a smart, reliable cleaning solution!

Excellent vacuum!!
Color: White
This is a hard working little robot. It cleans dirt and debris so easily and even gets the Arizona dust that accumulates everyday. I have a cat the sheds and 4 boys plus my husband and this vacuum works like a champ. I haven’t tried the mop feature yet because I just haven’t sat down and read the directions. I’ll update when I try that feature out. I love that it can go under my furniture and climb up rugs, even my cat scratch boards. I 100% recommend this vacuum. It has changed my house keeping routine and saves me a ton of time. I absolutely love it and you can’t beat the price!

Pleasantly surprised.
Color: White, Color: White
Based on the price I wasn't expecting much but boy was I wrong. I'm so impressed and thrilled with this purchase. I have a long haired Maine Coon and it picked up so much fur. It picked up thread, small pieces of yarn and feathers from my pillows. I watched the long front brushes pull dust and dirt out from under spaces that my regular vacuum would never get without moving things. I have carpet, hardwood, throw rugs and even a long shag throw by my bed that it maneuvered over mostly easily. I helped it over one or two transitions but it never got stuck. Just turned and kept going. The mop worked great. Only concern is that it only uses water so it's not a deep clean but the pad was dirty and once it dried I threw it into the wash. Definitely will use it in between a deeper cleans making cleaning a whole lot easier. With a cat shredding the carpet on a scratching post and all of his fur I was shocked how packed the dirt cup was and how great the house looked with all the little bits of scratching pole, oh yeah and card board scratching pad cleaned up so easily. I highly recommend. The cat thinks it's a cat toy so he kept starting it up. I had to cover it to protect it from the cat. It now lives under it's very own plastic bin. 🙂
