Roborock - QR 598 Robot Vacuum and Mop

Thanks again for your reply. But the qrev is outside of the budget. But seeing your comments made me go for the q598 over the xiaomi. More power, onboard water tank so it doesn't have to return multiple times. And the rest we just have to keep an eye in. Thanks again!

If you want to pick it up at the store, I'd stick to Roborock. At least at the store near me, there are two options, both of which should do well. The more expensive one I see (the Qrevo Pro) will be better for mopping, while the other (the QR 598) is a vacuum with an add-on mop that won't work as well. If you're fine with online ordering and shipping, the Dreame E30 looks like a good deal as well. The Dyson will be the best vacuum of all of them (surprise), but it's not a great robot. Pretty much any of the Roborocks would be good, as would the Eufy E28 if you also need a spot cleaner.

Actually, both the Roborock QR598 (same model as the QV35 and QR798) and the Xiaomi X20+ are comparable with almost similar features, but Xiaomi could give you a better price point than Roborock. By the way, what about the Xiaomi X20 Pro? I think it offers more features than the Roborock QR598, like warm air mop drying and the addition of a wall sensor and carpet sensor, but with a price still below QR598, at least in my place.

The Roborock QR598 features an onboard internal water tank, which helps maintain the mop's wetness when mopping a larger floor plan. In contrast, the Xiaomi relies on the dock to keep the mop wet. The downside of QR598 is that it doesn't have a warm air mop drying which would help to prevent the damp mop became smells bad especially if you live in a humid area. If they still have Qrevo S stock in your area, I think it's more suitable especially QR598 is based on Qrevo S without the warm air drying, increased suction from 7000 Pa to 10000 Pa, and an arc side brush (you can buy a separate arc anti-tangle side brush and install it on Qrevo S by yourself).

You're welcome! Btw to ensure proper mop drying for this model, set the drying duration to 4 hours or more to reduce the moisture.

Yes, absolutely! I have a self emptying, self cleaning robot mop and vacuum from Roborock and it is SO worth it IMO. I’ve had cheap, middle range and expensive and the only one I use is the one that self cleans etc. It is worth it, I think.

Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.

Roborock. Any of their self emptying models. I have 2. One on each floor. I run them every morning when I leave for work and they really help me stay ahead of the mess.

We have two shedding dogs and we love our Roborocks. The first one, while it was fantastic filled kinda quickly (not their fault, our dogs shed A LOT) so it was a minor inconvenience to empty it halfway through it's cleaning 2700sqft. My brother became disabled so I gave him that one for his apartment. He loves it and his helper can empty it and help him with harder care items so it saves him money (he was initially being charged an hour every day for vacuuming, now he's not). The second one I got was self emptying so it can continue all by itself and I really appreciate it. I only have to empty the main basin once a week and that's it. Super convenient and does a fantastic job cleaning. I used to vacuum at least twice a day to stay on top of the hair. Now I do a "deep" vacuum once a week- baseboards, under carpets, etc. Roborock gave me hours of my life back and that's not an exaggeration.

Get a self emptying Roborock one. Roombas are crap that are basically all about their name now. You will have to clean the fur out of some spots on it at times, but if you run it every day it will keep most of it out of the way.

I have an expensive roborock and it's great. It's the self emptying one, was like $1k on sale last year. Wait till November/Black Friday sale and they are 30-50% off regular price. Can definitely find a good one within your budget

I bought a barely used self-emptying Roborock on Facebook marketplace a few months ago and it is hands down one of the best purchases/decisions I’ve ever made. One dog and a cat and I was losing my mind trying to keep up with my floors.
