Roborock - Qrevo Curv S5X

Nvm found it, Yeah I see the Curve S5X only negative thing is that it has Reactive Tech and that obstacle avoidance is even worse than my older S8 :/

If you’re getting roborock and want to be budget conscious, I’d get the Curv S5X

Any dreame model with a self cleaning mop tray? This would be the Dreame X/L30-40. It’s worked well at cleaning my corgi’s fur balls to the drainage area. The mop extend has worked well mopping his drool from the edges of the rooms where he likes to sleep. You can add any TriCut brush and the cover that prevents hair from going to the side to any Dreame model. It’s worked great at preventing tangles. Roborock Q Revo models are also worth looking at. Only the one with the DuoDivine brush is truly no tangle. The other brushes will have the hair and fur tangled on the sides. I recommend rotating mop models as they are better at cleaning off drool. These two brands are pretty good at obstacle avoidance and cleaning overall. There are roller mop models but Eufy’s ozone generator poses a long term risk in terms of reliability as someone reported ozone generators could degrade the rubber seals. Eureka J20 (Midea’s W20) doesn’t seem to be great at obstacle avoidance either.

It seems to be so. It’ll be worse on the S5X model. There is the MOVA P50 Pro Ultra for €749 and that could be worth checking out.

I think a model in the roborock q Revo line would best fit your needs~ I would recommend the Q Revo Plus (649) as it has the newfangled mop extend, a feature I appreciate since my corgi drools very close to walls and my previous robot couldn’t mop that area. If you want it to clean its mops with hot water (best suited if you cook a lot and need that grease dissolving power), I’d recommend the Q Revo Pro (799). I will say that the rubber brush is prone to tangling, which is most pronounced on the sides. Neither of the models I just mentioned have cameras so it’s good for those who are privacy conscious. Roborock’s extending side brush is not designed very well so I see complaints of it being stuck. If you want no long hair pet tangles on the roller and the side brush, you’d have to pony up a lot more for the Q Revo Curv (an ungodly 1599 USD) which is more likely to have its price fall drastically by the time you get used to it. There was also dreame I was considering but from the tests and reviews I’ve seen, it seems that roborock generally performs better with purely vacuuming the carpet and Dreame’s recent flagships can’t use the side brush on carpets.

After daily vacuuming then mopping, my hardwood floors became notably softer and had a shine. I’d recommend robots with roller mops or spinning mops. For roller mop robots, I’d recommend the eufy S1 (Pro), eufy E25/E28, MOVA Z50 Ultra, and the Narwal Flow. All of these robots except for the eufy E25/E28 will have good obstacle avoidance. For spinning mop robots, I’d recommend dreame/MOVA robots with the AceClean/jetspray dryboard, the Narwal Freo line with an all in one base station, the roborock qrevo line. If obstacle avoidance is important, I’d consider the Dreame L40S Pro Ultra, L/X50 Ultra and the Narwal Z/Z10 Ultra.

Bigger dustbin + good use of dustbin when it comes to fur (no empty space should be in the dustbin when fur clogs it) + frequent autoemptying = better for dealing with hair and fur. For a vacuum only model, the roborock Q5 Max+ and the Q8 Max+ have a sizeable dustbin and uses the dustbin space well and has an autoempty station. The dual rollers help with fur pickup. In the US Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra fulfills these requirements as a combo model. So does the MOVA V50 Ultra for Canadian customers. The QRevo series has the same issue with some dreame models where the dustbin will be clogged with fur but there’ll be a lot of empty space on the sides. It’ll be good for picking up fur on carpets with its dual brushes but I think the eufy X8 should be better for dealing with finer dust.

> -It should automatically clean the pads in the charging station with hot water and automatically refill the robot with cleaning solution and water. I don’t believe the Curv has a dedicated detergent tank for this so you’d manually have to add some detergent to the clean water tanks -I want as little effort as possible, except for filling and emptying the tanks. You still should tap the dust out of the filter once every few cleaning runs, and give the robot and its home a good clean once every two to three weeks if run daily.

It is at least equivalent, if not even better. With physical disabilities I wouldn't pick a Vibrarise robot, because cleaning the dock might be a pain. Much easier with a revo mopper. You can just take the tray out for cleaning.

Let's make some corner points. \* What moves will eventually break. So you may possibly not want the most tech cramped can-do-it-all robot like Saros 10R, because repair cost would not be cheap. \* Do you need it to climb thresholds >2cm? Then look at Qrevo Curv/Edge and Saros for their AdaptiLift feature. \* Long hair and pets -- A robot with the DuoDivide main brush system is recommended. It's doing a great job with anti tangling hair removal. My best guessed pick would be a Qrevo Edge S5A or Curv S5X, depending on which dock design you prefer. The robots are technically the same. These are light versions of Edge and Curv, don't have the adaptive body lift, don't have camera and voice assist. But you save quite some $$. Qrevo S5V is an economy choice, also having the DuoDivide roller brush. For lower maintenance, go with a revo mopper. Don't get a Vibrarise / sonic mopper.

Best anti-tangling system on Roborocks is the Duo Divide brush, that is two half brushes with the gap in the center. You find it in any Qrevo Curv, Qrevo Edge and Saros 10 / 10R. If you don't need \- Climbing high thresholds \- Camera+Video \- Voice assistant then you could consider the light variants Qrevo Edge S5A or Qrevo Curv S5X. You may choose Curv or Edge just from the dock design. The robots are quite the same.

Very happy with my curv S5X. I'd recommend

Roborock has been my goto for over 8 years now; tried many of them; also had a Eufy but reliability wise my experience has been good with Roborock.Right now I am using from one of their qrevo series and I am quite happy with it: [https://amzn.to/43xTckh](https://amzn.to/43xTckh) I got my parents the Qrevo which is an older model but works! [https://amzn.to/4mRj02c](https://amzn.to/4mRj02c)

Hello, so I have been using Roborock for over 7 years now, I had the first initial version, upgraded and the. Upgraded again when my older roborock was still working and was send to my parents. So I have been using Roborock for a while and I have my reasons. I tried Eufy in the middle and shark too. So firstly recommendation wise: 1) Qrevo curve/edge amongst which I would recommend the curve for your needs https://amzn.to/4jBzdGh In general the Qrevo series seems to be pretty good Reasons: - I have used curve and it can go over transition areas quite smoothly which is one of your needs - I have a dog instead of a carpet that shed a lot!!! And curve works pretty well at picking that up even when it's hair comes out as balls - Edge is good too https://amzn.to/4kgzrDQ but may not transition as easily but works well as well (my relatives have it) - overall Qrevo series has been a hit and by every new model they did get in some new features especially anti tangle etc - Roborock spare parts are easy to find hence easier maintenance 2) don't recommend the Saros just yet - it is not seeming to be worth the price as I have heard of many issues navigation wise and even 2 3 cases where the station started heating up. Many returns as well as it wasn't working well in the first go. Heard through 4 people I know and Reddit too has these complaints so do check if you decide on this. https://amzn.to/3F4P8P1 In a nutshell, Roborock curve might work as a good upgrade Reason why I am discounting Ecovac or Eufy - difficult to get spare parts and very bad post services also not keeping up with the tech just yet

I was overwhelmed. Too many robots to choose from and too many options. I didn't want to spend £1,000, but equally spending £500 and finding it didn't do the job would be a waste of money too. So I looked at what I needed. Anti hair tangling was a must - hair was the reason I stopped using my old (*old*) robot. Automated things like emptying the dustbin were also important. That really reduced the field. Then I looked at the brands and came here for real-world experiences. Some brands were rejected on this basis. In the end, reliability was the decider. I gravitated towards the Roborock Curv series because they are not as tall as some others and can easier hide in a corner. I also decided, these machines have a limited life and spending more money would not make them last longer, so I decided not to go for the top tier. Curv S5X seemed to do the job. So, it is overwhelming at first, but it's possible to narrow down your options in a methodical way.

I've got one, here's my experience with it: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1fwfz/what\_leveltype\_of\_navigationobject\_avoidance\_is/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1fwfz/what_leveltype_of_navigationobject_avoidance_is/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m2ct18/dog\_acting\_funny\_vacuum\_not\_charging/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m2ct18/dog_acting_funny_vacuum_not_charging/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1flq0/qrevo\_5ae\_freeing\_up\_time\_for\_our\_puppy/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1flq0/qrevo_5ae_freeing_up_time_for_our_puppy/) It seems good, it does bump a bit more into things such as corners than I would have thought, this might be normal for a robot vacuum though, it's my first one so I can't really compare. At the moment it does everything I want from it, only thing I'd like is a bit better obstacle avoidance, specifically not climbing on furniture.

Just got the roborock Qvero curv for around 630 usd in my country (Malaysia) and am super happy with it!

\+1 for the Qrevo Curve. I just got mine and I'm over the moon about it.

We have 2 labradors, and I cannot even describe the amount of hair they shed. Our main vacuum is a Dyson, and we recently purchased a Roborock Q Revo Curv, which we are extremely pleased with. It replaced a much older Roborock model that had hair all over its internal parts, despite some maintenance. From our experience, you will still need to use the regular / more powerful vacuum, but the Roborock will do a great job. And the rotating mops do a very decent job, especially compared to the old model's mop (static pad dragged across the floor), but I recommend you properly clean it regularly so as little hair gets inside its components. As for the accidents, I see these newer models have all sorts of AI detection abilities that can prevent running over dog poop, but I never had the "pleasure" of going through this experience.

You can set a cleaning order. with the Qrevo Curve it’s possible and the app shouldn’t be much different

Roborock Geräte sind zwar gut, Die App jedoch SEHR komplex und nicht alles ist auf den Ersten+Zweiten Blick ersichtlich. Ich musste schon mehrere Male den Support kontaktieren. Das dauert auch jweils 1 Woche oder auch länger! Das Schlechteste daran ist, dass es keine Anleitung zur App gibt seit Jahren! Daher wird mein dritter Roborock (z. zeit der Q revo Curv) mein letzter gewesen sein! Es sei denn, Roborock macht endlich eine Bedienungsanleitung für die APP!!!

I just retired my 3 year old room a j7+ to a bedroom and bought a Qrevo Curve. Omg it is night and day difference! The curve is quiet, fast, doesn’t bump into things, and leaves the house clean. So far I love it!

Basically, if you want the best vacuum and obstacle avoidance, you will want one of the top bots! Currently the top dogs are the Saros 10 / Saros 10R and last years models the S8 MaxV Ultra and the Qrevo Egde / Curve. We mop A L O T and like, besides emptying the dirty water tank daily / every second day and refilling daily / every second day, i only have to do "deep maintenance" which involves washing the water filter (its hard plastic so no drying time) and washing underneat it and the smaller mop with a damp cloth, and thats for someone who does the deep+ program once a week. If you just do regular vac & mop, depending on how big of a house you have, and the program you use, you wont need to refill the water tank more than like every 3 days realistically, and it only takes like 30 seconds to do so! Feel free to DM me if you have more questions or just ask them here :)

So far the split brush roll in the Q Revo Curv has proven to be the ONLY robot that has 100% no hair wrap

My Q Revo Curv has that feature under AI labs, it's turned on but so far I've yet to see it actually do it

I've owned a LOT of robots over the years, you get what you pay for. As for Ecovacs, they just arent anywhere near as good as the price reflects. They constantly lose their map, need to locate so frequently there's actually a button to do it in the app, the app isn't nearly as good as the other high end brands, and they break constantly. My Deebot T8+ had 3 separate drive wheel failures within a year. When the final one died 2 weeks out of warranty they told me tough luck, and wouldn't even sell me the part so I could fix it myself "for my safety" they said 🙄 Currently own a Roborock Q Revo Curv which is fantastic, The self lifting chassis means it basically never ever gets stuck because it'll climb is way out of trouble. I plan on getting the Saros 10R next, which is basically the same as the Curv but with: hotter water (and now has hot water on board the robot), can leave the mops in the dock, more powerful, detergent dispenser, newer and better navigation and obstacle avoidance with no lidar tower on top so it can get under low furniture better. The Roller mop will be the future, but currently the only robots that have one are inferior in many ways to their competitors. So I'm waiting on that one

Not an issue for the Roborock Q Revo Curv, out can lift itself over tall thresholds and high pile carpet. It's the reason I bought mine because I have an even thicker rug than that and no robot could even climb onto it

The q Revo Curv can lift itself for high pile carpet

I have an even thicker rug than this and my Curv has no issues

The Q Revo S is on sale currently for $549 vacuums, mops, and the base empties mops and dries. Pretty much the best you can get for the money.

Q Revo Curv is by far the quietest robot I've owned and I've had about 6

I have a S8 pro ultra and a Q Revo Curv, and while it's been a couple months since I used the S8 (bad vac motor) It does seem to show more obstacles in the map while cleaning even though it doesn't have a camera

I'm uneasy about getting a robot hooked into the plumbing when I've yet to have one (besides a Roomba) last more than a year. My Deebot T8 had 2 wheel failures within a year then the 3rd died just after the warranty My Roborock S8 Pro Ultra charging error (known issue for years going back to S5) then the fan motor died. My first Q Revo Curv started having docking issues after just a week and eventually failed to recognize the dock at all. Now on my 2nd unit

I like this guy a lot, super thorough reviews and says prominently that he receives no money from the companies. Maybe he’s lying but I personally doubt it. I don’t think he built the business to get rich, I think he did it because he’s a nerd and enjoys it. To sacrifice AND your integrity…it happens all the time?m, but I’d bet against it in this case. His current top model is the new RoboRock Qrevo Curv. I just got it and love it. https://vacuumwars.com/

None of what you shared looks all that extreme, any good robot should be fine. If you're really worried though, the new Roborock Q Revo Curv has adaptable wheels and suspension to help it not get stuck. Just be aware no robot will be able to truly replace a high powered vacuum cleaner for some of those deeper divots and crevices.

Most people generally conclude it like this: Roller mop>spinning mop>vibrating mop>passive mop I think Qrevo Curv would be a much better option, but if you have low furniture, go for Saros 10.

You're doing all the right homework here — and your English is excellent, no worries there. Between the L40 Ultra and the Qrevo Curv 5A1, you’re right that the L40 has stronger features on paper: auto mop pad removal, detergent tank, brush lifting, and usually great navigation. The Roborock Curv wins on suction and build reputation, but at a steep price. That said, if *returning isn't an option* in your situation, Roborock's proven track record and reliability might be the safer bet long-term. Dreame has made huge strides, but quality control can be hit-or-miss depending on the model and region — and if you get unlucky, you’d be stuck. If your floors are mostly hard and you value automation and features over suction power, the L40 Ultra might still be worth it. But if durability and support matter most, Roborock is probably the safer investment. Tough choice — just depends which risk feels more manageable.

Well the only real way to manage such cat fur is with a real vacuum like a miele or Sebo. My Miele compactifies months of kitty crumbs & fur like a champ (no cotton candy fur effect here). I use a dreame l10s ultra as my robot. I don't rely on the robot doing deep carpet cleans as I real vacuum about once a week but the dreame has been excellent with kitty floor and my long thick hair (with the dreame cutting brush). The q revo curv is the best robot money can buy right now so ofc that's the best recommendation. I like the dreame better for tighter margins and being more intrepid about mopping next to rugs. Get the dreame x40 master if you can afford it and do the water hookup as the water hookup is one of the final frontiers for a hands free robot. The dreame l10s ultra is sufficient and can empty its bin regularly to deal with kitty floof, but running it everyday should avoid any bin clogs. I would say the dreame l10s pro ultra is worth getting for hot water and water dirtiness sensor (advanced new mopping features). If you want the most advanced vacuum features get the roborock q revo curv. Checkout vacuumwars for feature comparisons and checkout RTINGS for some more grounded opinions. Overall stick with dreame and Roborock. They're repairable with great customer service and parts availability. One thing, the roborocks are SIGNIFICANTLY quieter than the dreames, but Pepperoni doesn't mind the dreame running. The Miele is ofc quieter than the robots on max power tho. Overall a robot is an amazing, indispensable companion to a bagged vacuum in a pet home! With my robot running multiple times daily, I almost never feel the need to "on demand" vacuum anymore.

So I bought a q revo and dreame l10s and compared them directly and ended up keeping the l10s because it seems to do a better job of mopping (and is willing to mop in skinnier areas of my hard floor around rugs). I don't mind the worse app with dreame, it's completely usable and reliable, just with weird translations. I genuinely like the roborock carpets first feature but I don't miss it with scheduling. If you can afford the l40 ultra, that's what I would buy for the best features (hot water mop washing, self cleaning washboard, water turbidity sensor, mop extend & lifting brush, hair cutting roller). How much more expensive are the premier q revo models in your area (the master, slim, edge, curv)? If theyre the same price (or you can afford the slight increase) I'd get those for the best of both worlds: premier features and the superior roborock app.

Running a QR Curve, same bot, different base. It has handled thresholds others could not. two or more weeks, with a cat and a long haired woman in the house and there is no hair in the brushes. Checked last night for the first time.

And I can confirm the Curv is just as bad. So there’s that. Hard floors it is acceptable, but carpet not so much.

Exactly what I meant thank you for saying it for me. That’s why I own an.x40, and threw my revo in the trash. I was referring to roborocks obstacle avoidance

Till your mop pads start falling off. And you get home to an uncleaned house

No they fall off the device on literally anything that’s on the floor. Check my posts

I had a Qrevo Curv for almost 2 weeks. When it arrives I vacuumed all my apartment with Curv and then with my old S5. I attached an image with the S5 filter after full vacuuming after the Curv vacuum the same area. I expected S5 to get some dirt but not so much. https://preview.redd.it/3p4yx23c2n6f1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e583317de0212ac550d57f79ad68f750ae506539

QRevo has been great , has most of the top line functionality at a reasonable cost. Have two of them going on now. Our old S5 was still working great and relegated to basement now. Apart from accessories, the only thing I changed was the battery.

I know the Roborock Qrevo Curv and Edge do. There may be others.

I have a Roborock q revo with mop and auto washing/ auto empty base station. I was skeptical about the mopping functionality but my wife talked me into it. I fucking love it.  haven’t touched the floors in over a year except vacuuming behind doors every couple weeks. 

No it's a Roborock. It looks like the model I have. They're awesome- self-cleaning, self-emptying, LiDAR room mapping, completely customizable routines.

It's a Roborock. Very similar to the model I have- Quervo Series

You're welcome! I forgot to mention but the brand of robot vacuums I like is Roborock. I'm like 90% sure I have a Qrevo with the tower, but they have so many freaking models now that I get them all mixed up. I have a much older model from them too that still works great but I got another dog and wanted something that had the auto-empty features and an actual mop, so I upgraded. So I can vouch that they're excellent!

I have a robo vacuum(roborock qvero) which runs 2 times a week. Additionally I have a light weight cordless vacuum to cover delta between those days. It stays pretty clean with above effort.

My Roborock quervo that I got two weeks ago has been incredible. We had a shark matrix because it didn’t have bags, but made a compromise to upgrade. It is like watching a Zamboni drive across the floor when it is mopping.

I bought a new roborock qrevo with mop function last year from Costco and we used nightly (have a messy toddler) and the lidar stopped working after 6 months. Emptying the dirty mop wear container was also terrible as it smelled terrible! The auto empty would also jam regularly. My parents have an old roborock s3 I believe that’s 7-8 years old. It was one of the first ones with a mop function and they never use the mop function. There’s works great. So I’m not sure if the mop function really does work for longevity purposes.

To really get value out of a robotic vacuum the key is to not buy the cheapest or second cheapest option. Get a vacuum with radar or LiDAR with room mapping. I have a Roborock QRevo with the mop option and I really, really like it. I’m able to map rooms, even on different floors, control both vacuum and mopping levels, and easily fence off areas and objects including setting up custom cleaning routines for a room or multiple rooms. Whereas I also have the base model Roomba and it only vacuums and crashes about my house like a drunken fool. It has very limited radar sense and relies on bumpers to “feel” its way around. I’m not saying no to the Roomba brand only that a cheap base model of any brand has big drawbacks. You can often find really good deals for Roborock on Amazon. Just use camel camel camel to price watch and alert you.

I'm not sure what is actively considered a top vacuum but something I've learned the hard way is to make sure the robot has a setting to empty the dustbin periodically or else it will go through a whole run, then try to empty the dustbin and the charging station will get clogged trying to suck the large clump of hair into the dust bag. I have a qrevo and really love the robot but the fact roborock doesn't currently have an option to empty the dustbin every 100 sqft or so, means that I have had to set up separate schedules for each room so it goes back to the dock to empty the dustbin between each room. It's frustrating.

Totally. Yeah I also hoped they'd update the app to add that but I've had the robot since it first came out a little over a year ago and it doesn't have that yet so unsure if they will ever add that.

Roborock Qrevo is expensive but works very well. We have two long-haired dogs who can shed a third dog before noon. The Qrevo sweeps and mops. We usually run it in the morning and again in the evening.

I have a Roborock Q revo and I'm loving it :)

I'm using Roborock Qrevo right now. The price is budget-friendly, and the integration is native (support local based on the document). 

Same, and it has been worth every penny for us!

The Roborock is a big hit, it's also very quiet (under the 65 dB mark). Also check out the Eufy on this list for under $500.... [https://www.soundproofgenius.com/get-a-quiet-robot-vacuum/](https://www.soundproofgenius.com/get-a-quiet-robot-vacuum/)

I had one of the higher end Sharks, can't remember the model, and I thought I liked it. It touted laser mapping, advanced schedules, etc. But then I got the Roborock Q Revo and it absolutely blew me away; made me realize how shitty the Shark was. At every level it's better: primarily it cleans way better, but also the app is better, it's actually easy to get replacement parts, and a ton of minor things that make it feel polished, like the robot will announce on its own device speaker what's happening, like why it got stuck or why it's returning to a dock. Contrast this with a few friends of mine that have even worse vacuums than the Shark: theirs get stuck all the time, can't find their way home to the dock, they end up not using it at all. Long story short, based on my experience it's absolutely worth spending good money to get a good robot vacuum.

I have a Roborock Q Revo in our 2 adult household and love it. I sweep out the corners occasionally since a round vacuum obviously can’t get into a 90 degree corner, but I don’t have to vacuum or mop anymore unless I just want to. My MIL also bought the same model, and they have three dogs in their home. One of whole sheds A LOT. He’s a corgi/lab mix and blows coat like a dandelion. It keeps up with all their hair, just needs more frequent dust bag replacements. It is so worth buying the right kind and getting a quality robot vacuum/mop. The cheap ones simply aren’t worth it. My father has a roomba (to excuse himself from ever actually cleaning) and it is awful. It will run over the same piece of hair multiple times without picking it up and then straight up avoid a certain dirty spot on the floor repeatedly. It runs on a random track of going until it bumps into something and then goes a different direction. He has also had problems with the batteries crapping out constantly and needing replaced because the capacity deteriorates so badly. The Roborock goes in a pattern; first does a perimeter sweep then goes in a grid pattern of vertical then horizontal rows. The Roborock takes floor plans of your house so you can select individual rooms for cleaning. There is a spot cleaning feature as well where you can drop a box to enclose a specific area that needs cleaned. You can set up scheduled for it to keep your house maintained and ignore it beyond weekly maintenance. I dump dirty water, fill the clean water, and wash mop heads once a week. I love it and would never buy anything else. Especially a Roomba.

Got the same one, for 400€ it's great! Navigation is awesome but it indeed just won't detect cables… The ones that can automatically search for your pet and allow you to see it while further controlling the robot remotely are pretty cool, but it's not really a big deal to not have that feature.

Agreed, it's awesome! Mopping great if you have any wood. Only downside to the more expensive ones is the lack of camera to detect cords, which isn't a huge deal.

I also purchased one of these and have been happy with it. Does a great job. I recommend watching vacuum wars on YouTube. He purchases every single robot vacuum and tests them all.

I absolutely love my Q Revo. I bought it with intentions of it being supported by Valetudo, but honestly… the app works, the HA integration works. I have a geofence that runs the full vac/mop when I leave in AM thru HA. I trigger a night mop of kitchen at 1am via HA. I have automations that notify on the TV when the buckets need to be filled/dumped. I’m planning to 3D print replacement buckets with auto fill and dump — this is my only issue… needs that water and dumping based on size of house and how often you run the mop.

If I were buying today, I would focus on one that fills/dumps the water automatically. I have the Roborock Q Revo and it is solid… I just have to dump/fill the tanks after about three mops. I’ve got all the parts in my Amazon cart to automate this. My hesitancy has been about how much automation/metering do I want and how much safety net do I want!!

Dang. I have the regular Roborock Qrevo from 2023 and it doesn't look like it will get it.

Hopefully they will include it. I'm not going to buy a whole new one if they don't, but it would be a shame if they don't support it since it's not very old.

We have a q revo and it’s great

I have a Q Revo and it does an ok job but yeah it's not up to the level of a mop, or even a hard floor cleaner. And these things are also ridiculously expensive to buy the latest and greatest. It does a fine job running daily to keep the floors clean, cleaner than just a vacuum. But I have a very drooly dog that leaves spots on the floor and it won't scrub those up, I have to break out a floor cleaner for that. It does better than my old roomba though, it almost never gets caught on or tangled in anything and mostly drives around any obstacles fine. Was it worth it? Probably not for the price I paid. Right now though you can get a Q Revo for $479 which I think would be worth it. So I maybe might advise buying the last gen at a discount rather than the latest and greatest and still plan on having to manually clean from time to time. Really depends on your needs of course, if you are a clean person living alone then you might rarely have spots that the robot won't get.

I bought the Dreame X40 Ultra. Same features, but cheaper. I also own a Q Revo and a Dreame L10S Ultra. The Q Revo has had a lot of issues in the year I've owned it. The L10S is still going strong, so the X40 was the obvious choice for me.

/agree My Q Revo eats them. I just make sure to clear the floor before the task runs and it's all good. Actually got me into the habit of cleaning up on a regular basis rather than leaving a mess for a big monthly cleanup which I dreaded to do lol

This community: Wait, the next model will solve all problems. For what it's worth, we have dogs and I bought a Q Revo last week. Works great. Not 400 m\^2, but 300 m\^2 anyway.

App calls it just Q Revo so I assume normal?

Nope,  nothing changed.

This is cool, but I'm not sure how useful it is. Maybe instead of simply positive or negative, it could drill down into more specific, e.g. "Good for pets?", "Good for carpets", "Easy to maintain", "Easy to use app" etc. For example, the obstacle avoidance in the Q Revo which has the highest rating here is pretty terrible. It will easily drive through pet waste spreading it all over your home and basically destroying the robot. I have two Q Revos, but no pets :)

Xiaomi X10+ / Dreame L10Ultra is great, it has everything. Dreame L10 Prime is probably the cheapest I have used, less features and for mopping it was OK. Roborock revos are great but usually costly. Roidmi Eva was pretty dumb robot avoid that.

TLDR: this sounds like a giant pain and very inconvenient, but you could do it. Most brands on technically support 1 home. But roborocks support up to 4 floors, I think so you could have each house be a different floor. Honestly, before committing to driving your vacuum all around try just having one to share between your floors. These things work best as “set it and forget it”. I ended up getting a refurb Q5 for my basement because over time it was less hassle than remembering to move my Q Revo from the first floor to the basement to run it. Additionally, you will vacuum more if you just set a schedule and have it run automatically.

Hi all, I’d like to know, is the Reactive AI (with rgb camera) actually much better than ReactiveTech? At the moment I have a Q Revo and it’s quite good, it is able to avoid most of the the objects in my house. But it struggles particularly with “low and flat“ objects. In particular this one, which is similar to a U shaped chair: https://preview.redd.it/suvutwjl6wne1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f064284593fd32eeb31bffbcf7a05b6278d1d89 He tries to climb over, got stuck, then turns back and so on, a mess… Do you think Reactive AI robots like Curv, Edge, Slim or the new Saros could handle this? Can they recognize the obstacle (taking a photo) and maybe you can tell the robot to avoid it at all?

Q Revo has the spinning mop pads and lifts them automatically during carpet cleaning.

I told everyone I know about my Q Revo I bought last year. “$600!? On a vacuum!?” It literally vacuums and mops every day while I’m at work. The dust piling up from my lazy ass not cleaning once a week is gone. The pockets of fur from my chihuahua is gone.

If you do compare feature on vacum wars web site You can see which has matter Recommend a robo rock qrevo for auto mation Eco vac t50 pro Omni is $600 n does matter n has mop n vac but I dint like the navigation so went back to robo rock qrevo s5a But robo rock is more $. Bout $850 You get what you pay for

Also owning an OG QRevo. The mop cleaning is noisy enough through doors and we have a decent difference in floor height between rooms that always takes it a few attempts to lift itself over. Not mentioning emptying the bin at the end of a cycle. It’s a decent machine. Will continue to use it till it breaks down permanently (wasn’t an inexpensive purchase for us).

Of these, the worst mopping will be the Q5 and Q8 robots, which just have stationary pads attached to the back. The S8 also has a pad attached to the back, but includes a scrubbing motion via a plate that vibrates at a high speed. It's better than the Q5 and Q8. The best mopping will be on the Qrevo and Eufy X10. They have spinning mop pads, a dock which refills the water tank on the robot from its own water tank, and also cleans the pads automatically and stores the dirty water in another tank on the dock. Of the last two, each has its strengths and weaknesses. The X10 will be better at obstacle avoidance. The Qrevo is a Roborock, which has a better reputation for quality and reliability than the Eufy, and is also rated a little better than the Eufy at a lot of things: vacuuming performance, mopping performance, etc. It also can swing out one of its mop pads for better edge and corner cleaning, something the Eufy can't do. In some cases, obstacle avoidance is really critical, in which case I'd recommend the Eufy. Otherwise, the Qrevo is likely your best bet.

So an unknown brand just came out with a fairly pedestrian robot with stationary-pad mopping, and it has a higher rating than some of the highest-regarded robots on the market? Nope. If you really need mopping on a budget, take a look at the Dreame D10+, Eufy L60 Hybrid, or one of the Roborock Q series robots. For a big improvement in mopping for not much more money, look at the Eufy C20 or Dreame L10s Ultra series. Mova can be good, if they've solved their problem with fragile front wheels. If you don't care about mopping, look at the Eufy L60 SES or SwitchBot K10+.

I was in the same boat, but with Black Friday sales both the roborock qrevo (refurbished)and dreame l10s ultra (new) are available for $359. For that price it’s hard to justify spending 2-3x as much for a few extra features which don’t seem to make a huge difference in the actual functionality of the product. I bought a l10s ultra and hope to not think about it again for at least a couple years.

Any guesses on MSRP for the Z1? I have 2 acres and probably 1.4 acres of it to mow. I have a 60" commerical Exmark mower but I'm getting more sick of mowing by the year and yard companies want $200/week to do it, so that is a hard pass. I already have two Roborock vacs (S7 Max Ultra and Q-Revo) and have been fairly happy with them, so this would be a nice addition if the price isn't like Yarbo's pricing structure.

I’m a year in and don’t know what I’d do if you took away the Q-Revo’s mopping

+1 for Roborock, the q revo series with the spinning mops and auto docks have been amazing for me. There have a few different models so I'd compare them all but we have the slim and the master and love them both. They often go on sale - I got each of them for 1k or less. I had the s7+ and the mopping was disappointing. I'd avoid any simple dragging mops.

Second this. Is it under $500 though? I paid $1200 when it was new...

Sheesh, I got robbed lmao I love mine though, so no complaints

I have a roborock revo with a dock.  The thing I don't like it that there is no setting for "go empty in the dock after x minutes" like there is for the mop. So to deal with this, I created a routine for each room individually.  It then empty after each rooms. Do that once a day, and no clogs.

I use my Roborock Revo a great deal. I vacuum twice as much as the mop function.

I disagree. Got a roborock q revo with vac and mop, also with a station that washes and dries the mops and it is very good and helpful.

Second the OP.  I'd recommend getting a Roborock or similar with self emptying vacuum. It works best on hardwood floors. Carpet not so much. Look into robots with high suction power. Like the other OP, you will still need to dyson up nooks and crannies manually, but the ability to schedule frequent self vacuum in high traffic areas cuts down on your workload significantly.  The self mopping feature imo is not worth it, but maybe the newest models have improved.  From experience, you will want robots that can detect animals (I've seen videos where the robot runs over the dogs tails, gets stuck, and terrifies the dogs). Also look for ones that can detect objects like poop, so you don't come home to a Jackson pollock painting. Look into the clearance height of the robot as well, and compare to your furniture if you are looking to have the robot go under couches and stuff. For example, our roborock barely fits under the couch, and even with 1 cm clearance, will avoid going under the couch if it detects the under-couch fabric is hanging too low (we fixed this by reholstering the bottom of the couch). Worth mentioning if you work from home that the self emptying vacuum feature can get loud, but it is usually very brief and you should be able to schedule emptying times. The robot vacuum companies get you on the replacement parts, which are not cheap. You do get what you pay for though, and routine maintenance (cleaning sensors, replacing brushes, untangling hair from rollers) goes a long way in longevity. I haven't found a robot vacuum that does not pick up hairs in the dog roller yet, so expect to periodically open up the robot to remove hair (usually very easy). For replacement parts, you can go third party for cheaper. Especially so when buying replacements for big brand/popular models. For example, you can get an unofficial 5 pack of vacuum bags for the self emptying vacuum for the same cost as 1 official one (or something like that). For carpets, I'd just go with those manual carpet brushes. Picks up way more hair more efficiently than any vacuum. Just my 2 cents. 

Roomba's have pretty subpar mapping & navigation compared to most other brands. We have one (older) Roomba that relies on VSLAM for navigation and one Roborock that uses LiDAR; the difference is night and day. I would avoid iRobot on that alone until they change their tech.

For the price (£250) I am very impressed with mine. Its got LiDAR, a mop, empties itself, etc. Its really neat to watch on the app as it goes about your house and maps it out. Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle. Definitely does not replace vacuuming as a whole though as it just cant physically get into the corners, and the vacuum itself isnt enough to really suck stuff out of the carpet, more just pick up things on top. I treat it more like a broom than anything else, but having a pet it helps me keep on top of things.

Yes! Don’t get the Curv plus it’s cheaply built and ugly. The S8 MaxV has premium materials. They are all plastic but the Curv and Q series feel flimsy.

You might not be happy with the build quality of the lower end series like the Q. Stick with Premium. I would get the S series or Saros. The Q series feels very cheap compared to the S plus it can handle the hair NP. It’s a more attractive unit too unless you like a shiny egg that looks like it came out of an 80s movie. lol

The comment about robot vacuums only being for small places is probably based on the old random pattern robots. Most robots now map and do well in large houses. It sounds like most mapping robots would work for you, since you don't want mopping, have hardfloors, and no pets. So anything with lidar (prefered) or vslam navigation. Obstacle avoidance might be a useful feature for cords, shoes, toys etc. left on the ground. It might be worth looking into a Eufy L60, iRobot Roomba j series, Roborock Q series, or shark. I'm biased because I have three robot vacs (Roborock S6, Ecovacs x1 omni, and iRobot Roomba j5+ combo) and my roomba j5+ is the only one that is reliable and working at the moment
