Think summer and you likely conjure images of relaxed backyard hangs, beach holidays, and long days in the sun—and it’s all too easy for chores and cleaning to fall by the wayside. To help you spend more time on the better things this summer, Roborock–the creator of ultra-intelligent home-cleaning robotics–is introducing its new Q-Series to the U.S. These smart robotic vacuuming and mopping products, which recently won a prestigious Red Dot Design Award, take cleaning convenience to the next level with minimum effort.

Imagine being able to go for weeks without thinking about vacuuming. One of the biggest improvements in the new, mid-range Q-Series is the introduction of self-emptying as a staple feature, making automated cleaning even more, well, automated. Between the 2.5-liter dust bag and the robot vacuum’s ability to self-dock and charge between cleans, that means hands-free cleaning for up to seven weeks.

“We believe auto-emptying and dock compatibility are ‘must-haves’ in robot vacuums. Besides the obvious benefit of reduced manual emptying, customers are less likely to be exposed to allergens,” says Richard Chang, CEO and Founder of Roborock. “We’ll make all future Roborock robot vacuums compatible with this feature, and with this new mid-range Q-Series, we hope to bring this convenience into more homes.”

Like Roborock’s popular flagship S-Series, the Q-Series is designed for intuitive customization to ensure your home gets the most thorough clean possible. The easy-to-use app—which is compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Siri—allows you to create a cleaning program specific to your home with custom cleaning schedules for different rooms, times, and routines. You can even specify “no-go zones” and “invisible walls” to prevent the vacuum from falling or getting trapped. All that plus other smart features—such as in-app notifications if something goes awry while you’re out—gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your time away from home.

And while robots cleaning your house might sound like an expensive indulgence, Roborock has designed its products to be an affordable luxury. The Roborock Q5, Q5+, Q7+ and Q7 Max+ models are now available in the United States starting at $429.99. And with less hands-on cleaning, that means your summer will be anything but a wash.
