A claim such as "175x more suction" is not converted. A maker can claim another figure in another market, such as Roborock in the US, so it is per variant.

Navigation and obstacles

3 of 8 differ

NavigationiHow the robot maps the home. A turret is a raised laser sensor on top. A retractable turret sinks into the body to pass under furniture. Built-in lidar sits inside the body with no turret. A solid-state 3D ToF sensor without a turret counts as built-in lidar. Camera means visual mapping without lidar. Gyroscope only means the robot has no mapping sensor and cleans in rows with a gyroscope. Random bounce means the robot has no mapping sensor and no gyroscope and turns when it bumps into something.

Lidar turret9Reviewvacuumwars.com/roborock-q7-m5-robot-vacuum-review-key-features-and-real-world-flawsRead 14 October 2026Top-mounted LiDAR on the Q7 M5/Q7 M5+ review. The page says the robot is the same in both versions
