Roborock’s Q10 S5 Plus robovac is over half off, matching its best price to date

Roborock’s Q10 S5 Plus comes with a self-emptying dock and is under $300. | Image: Roborock Even at full price, the Roborock Q10 S5 Plus offers impressive value, boasting features typically reserved for pricier robovac models at a fraction of the price. That’s especially true today. It’s down to just $269.99 ($280 off) at Wellbots when you apply promo code NEW10, which matches its all-time low and is the best price we’ve seen since Black Friday last year. If you prefer a different retailer, you can also buy it at Amazon and directly from Robovac for $10 more.

Roborock Q10 S5 Plus

Where to Buy:

$549.99 $279.99 at Amazon
$549.99 $269.99 at Wellbots (with code NEW10)
$549.99 $279.99 at Roborock

The robovac is one of our top picks if you’re on a budget, with good AI-powered obstacle detection and navigation that helps it clean around clutter without getting stuck. It also boasts automatic carpet detection and a mop that can lift itself over rugs, so you don’t need to worry about carpets getting wet. The flat vibrating mop pad also impressed us in testing and is particularly gentle on delicate floors, able to scrub away dirt effectively without leaving them soaked. When it finishes cleaning, the included dock automatically empties the robovac’s dustbin and recharges the bot, reducing the amount of maintenance required.Of course, there are some compromises Roborock made to keep costs down. Unlike Roborock’s much pricier $1,600 Saros 20, the Q10 S5 Plus can’t climb taller thresholds, and its 10,000Pa suction isn’t nearly as powerful as the Saros’ 36,000Pa system. The dock also lacks conveniences like automatic mop washing and water-tank refilling, meaning you’ll still need to handle those tasks yourself. Still, for under $300, it’s hard to complain given everything else the Q10 S5 Plus brings to the table.

Google built the ultimate education tool with Gemini Omni, then forgot to tell us

If you think far back, you'll notice that for as long as technology has been applied to learning, the central challenge has remained the same, for at least the past few decades. Abstract concepts resist verbal explanation, and the tools available to "visualize" them have always demanded both a high...

I ran a powerful local AI model on my laptop, and it didn’t feel like a compromise

Running large language models locally on consumer hardware has always meant accepting a strict set of trade-offs. The situation was clear: if you wanted frontier-level reasoning, you needed a cloud connection.

The best upgrade for my movie nights wasn’t a new TV, soundbar, or streaming subscription

When setting up your living room for an immersive movie night, your first instinct might be to switch off all the lights to replicate that pristine movie theater experience.

Your SSD is dying faster than it should — here’s the one habit you need to stop

I know that SSD endurance ratings don't really matter for the average user. Even if you're gaming, browsing, and working every day for 10 years, you'll probably exhaust only a third of your SSD's TBW rating. The condition, though, is that you use your consumer SSD like an average consumer....

I used a LattePanda Sigma with 32GB of RAM as my ‘too much power’ home lab box, and immediately found work for it

The funny thing about home lab hardware is that “too much” usually has a very short shelf life. I set up a LattePanda Sigma with 32GB of RAM and a 500GB NVMe SSD, expecting it to be excessive for most of what I do. On paper, it looked like the...

LXC updates in Proxmox aren’t hard — managing 20 of them at scale is another story

Proxmox is my favorite hypervisor platform, and it scratches my itch for testing multiple apps and distros at once. I've started using LXCs more lately to replace resource hungry VMs, and it's been going well. At least, until it came time to update them all.

HBA cards unlock cheap enterprise storage for your NAS, but the gotchas are real

Sooner or later, a NAS or home lab that's pulling double duty hits the same wall: too much data, not enough space to store it. You go to add one more drive, reach for a SATA cable, but find that there's not a single spot available, or you've had your...

Your backup strategy is probably broken, and a $250 second machine can fix it

Although I use bulky Proxmox workstations for my virtualization and LXC-hosting needs, I consider my Network-Attached Storage server an essential part of my home lab. After all, it’s responsible for everything from archiving old media files to housing backups from the rest of the computing devices in my arsenal. And...
