A Taiwanese man remotely accessed his robot vacuum's camera to catch his wife with another man, then used the footage to win roughly $16,000 in a civil suit over infringement of spousal rights. His wife countersued for illegal filming without consent, and a court sentenced him to five months in prison and fined him about 30% of his award.
Roborock has released the Qrevo 2 Pro, a midrange robot vacuum that combines suction and mopping capabilities in one device. Testing found the unit performs cleaning tasks well but its object-avoidance sensors frequently fail to detect cables, leading it to snag or ingest them during runs.
Amazon is selling the Roborock Q7 M5 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop for $279.99, a $150 cut from its $429.99 list price, marking a 35% discount. The device combines vacuuming and mopping with a self-emptying dock that can go 7 to 9 weeks between bag changes under normal use.
Roborock has unveiled the Qrevo 2 Pro, a robot vacuum featuring 25,000Pa of suction and a Dual Anti-Tangle System meant to stop hair from wrapping around its brushes. It also lifts its mop pads automatically before rolling onto carpet, using Carpet Boost+ and Deep Carpet Cleaning to dig dirt out of rugs, while its dock washes, dries, refills and empties the unit on its own for up to 65 days. The device launches at a promotional price of $550.
