Roborock - Qrevo Curv S5X

I see, too much water just spreading the dirt around! Maybe a design flaw for the Curv

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

How tall are the thresholds? Most can handle 2cm with no issue but only the x40 ultra (24mm) and the QRevo Curv/Edge (30mm for a single threshold, 40mm for two consecutive thresholds that are 30mm +10mm) handle higher. Otherwise, you’d have to use a ramp

Generally: Dreame will have the best edge cleaning. This is on the x30 ultra and newer with the L/X40 ultra and newer models having an extendable side brush with the best extension algorithm right now. Mop extension lacks a spring which means it can ride up on quarter round floor moldings if your home has any. Roborock Saros 10R and the QRevo Edge/Curv are nice choices if there are no cables or pet accidents for it to eat. Narwal is a very solid option. The Freo Z ultra has the best smart cleaning mode. It’s okay taking care of things like hair and visible dust but still isn’t as good as vacuuming as it is at mopping. Eufy s1 pro is a very solid mopping option. Won’t edge clean as well as the above models but mops pretty well.

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.

How tall is the piece of transition? For a single one up to 30mm, the roborock models with the AdaptiLift chassis (the most expensive QRevo Curv/Edge and the Saros line). Anything higher up to 4.2cm, if a threshold is less than 9cm long (5.2cm if it is at least 9cm long), will need the Dreame X50 Ultra or any equivalent MOVA model (V50 Ultra). I am aware that Dreame's L/X50 Ultra and any model (such as MOVA's V50 Ultra or the rare UK-only Dreame L40s Pro Ultra) that uses dual conical brushes has a *live fur compression* feature (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOOU0uJsVdU), which helps mitigate the issue of pet fur clogging the dustbin, even though the space isn't fully utilized. I saw it in action, and I think it lives up to its claim. It also cleans its filter when auto-emptying. This should be helpful for homes with heavy shedders such as yours\~ For paw prints, I think a robot that can identify messes like this and act accordingly would be important too. Dreame and Narwal do well with this if you turn on certain functions, such as their smart cleaning mode and intelligent mess detection.

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.

The curv’s obstacle avoidance (especially pet messes)is not worth the spurge. The dreame X/L40 ultra is going to be much better at this.

https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/saugroboter/ Narwal robots and Roborock’s spinning mop robots have the easiest to clean mop washboard as they’re completely removable (the autoempty Narwal models have a disposable dustbin attachment to avoid cleaning it but I find that rather wasteful). The roborock base qrevo is already a pretty good robot as it’s pretty tangle resistant with an all rubber main brush. Roborock’s generally vacuum better than the Narwal but the Narwal has an antitangle conical rubber and bristle brush that works great with the smoothest obstacle avoidance for camera enabled models with the best smart clean mode. As for models, the narwal’s Freo Z ultra is at 549 euros. However it’s very water hungry and requires constant water tank refilling and emptying. This should be the most cost effective choice if you are mainly concerned with ease of maintenance.

If you need it to under furniture with much lower clearance (like about 9cm) and automatic detergent adding is a non negotiable, get the Saros 10. If not, the Curv itself is a good choice. Are there any sales soon? If so, I’d wait for those.

Q(X)revo is an excellent entry level active mopper. A huge upgrade to an S5. Welcome to the world of active scrubbing and autonomous washing with water management. You will enjoy it.

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

Agreed. I have the L40 Ultra and the Curv S5x and find that the curv cleans better

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

note the qrevo arc is just the qrevo curv s5x, its the qrevo curv with a bit worse suction, no adaptilift chassis and really bad obstacle avoidance(they removed the camera)

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.

Spinning mops are probably the better option, but neither type is great if you’re trying to avoid streaks. If streak-free is your priority, you’ll want to look at a rolling or track mop from another brand. With spinning mops, streaks are hard to notice on vinyl plank or wood floors, but on white tile (like in my bathroom) you can definitely see them once the solution dries. It doesn’t bother me personally, but if that’s a concern for you, I wouldn’t go with a spinning mop. A rolling or track mop would be the better choice. Something like the Narwal Flow is probably your best bet if you want true streak-free cleaning. Both the 10 and 10R mop just fine, and neither is going to scratch your floors. On white glossy tile, though, you’ll probably notice streaks with both. That said, the spinning mop on the X tends to leave more streaks than the vibrating mop pad, just cause its 2 pads vs one big one

We've just bought the S5X and it's excellent, absolutely blown away with how good it is!

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.

No idea. I’ve been very pleased with my Qrevo C I bought here in Australia on special a few months ago. Navigation just works. Hasn’t got lost once. Mapped easily. 5/2/2 260sqm house. Flat, tiles and carpet. 1 adult, 3 kids, cat and dog. Mops ok. Refill and empty on tanks more often than I thought but it’s max once a week if I use mopping a lot. I have alot of tiled are. Corners and some edges next to cabinets it isn’t great, but that’s me being picky. Vacuum is awesome as long as my kids don’t leave it too long on their rooms. Otherwise I’ve had to unclog the intake a couple of times, was very quick and easy. No defects so far. I don’t know anything about these in my model. Zero complaints. It’s definitely made this solo dad’s life better. I hate doing floors so it’s a big win for me personally.

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.

Any of the rotary mop roborocks or any dreame. I guess dreame bc roborock q revos don't have soap containers. The newest roborocks can mop with warm water, which is insanely good. And they wash the mops with water hotter than tap, which is also amazing. It depends how badly you want the low profile of the retractable lidar? I really love the warm water mopping of the q revo curvx but I think I'd still go with the dreame x50. The dreame l10s pro ultra is also great for its price and adds some warm water and water testing. It sounds like you really care about handling the gray water so no matter which you'll get you'll want to plumb them in. The price of the dreame x40 master I think is amazing for being a plumbot ($900) but it's missing some of the newest features, tho not super lacking.

Get a roborock QRevo curve or slim. Roborock is one of the top robot vacuum manufacturers. It vacuums and mops. The app is awesome. The charging station empties out the vacuum’s dust bin, cleans and dries the mop, and senses of it needs to re-mop. It won’t be cheap, but it’s what you want.

I went with a QRevo Curv. I'm basically hardwood floors throughout, tile in the bathroom with a bath mat, and a small mat in the kitchen. Floors have never been cleaner. Prior to this I was manual mopping once a week (or realistically maybe 2x a month when I remember to), with a robot vacuuming every day. Now it has been fully handsfree other than emptying the dirty water tank and filling the clean water tank. I run a vac+mop cycle 3x a week, and vac only 4x a week. Definitely doing something - that dirty water tank is definitely not clear when I empty it.

I've had a number of dreams, all gone back. I have a Rrock Curv. V good vac performance hopeless obstacle avoidance - eg cables just runs right over. I also have E28. See my quick review. App less polished, obstacle avoidance v good. Mopping on all - one has to have realistic expectations

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.

I had one for a week and it was terrible. It wouldn't follow the schedule, navigated poorly especially when it had to use its own light and kept stalling on or near dark colors generating an error forcing someone to physically rescue it. It could never navigate my dining room and would get confused underneath the table/chairs and would leave the room without barely cleaning anything. Mine also used more water washing the mop than it did actually cleaning the floor not to mention the poor battery life. I contacted tech support and they were not very helpful so I sent it back. Two weeks earlier I had a x50 ultra and it died on the dock on day two so it went back. Earlier this week when Roborock put their curvx on sale I grabbed one and don't regret it. I also have the 2024 curv and run two bots splitting the house. Both of them do everything very well. My biggest complaint with their app is that I cannot rotate the map which I've hit up tech support about and they said they'd pass it along to their app team. As you can see the obvious with its performance the question is are you willing to pay for a machine that performs like that. I really wanted it to work but realized that what I had was all that I was going to have. Best of luck to everyone who has one.

I don't think they would go wrong with either one. I opted for the curvx over the 10r as I'm going back to two units so it will split cleaning duties with my 2024 curv. The x has a retractable turret making it just as short as the 10r plus it has a up facing sensor for the times its operating underneath furniture in addition to the lidar being able to see out the back while retracted.

If you're so concerned about your privacy go to the the store and buy a broom w/dustpan, mop w/bucket and a manual vacuum and be done with it. My curv has been the best robot I've had by far notifying me when it encounters an obstacle identifying it on the map and if I click on the icon I get a picture.

X50 ultra died on the dock on day 2 but when it was working the battery drained fast and navigation was sporadic. Sent it back and got an aqua10 ultra roller that would error out when approaching dark colored rugs and mats stalling forcing a person to physically rescue it. Mop cover generated random errors which would stall it out and again someone would have to go rescue it. It also suffered from rapid battery drain like the x50. Unit could not navigate in the dining room using its own lighting and had poor navigation around the house overall. Used more water cleaning the mop than actually cleaning the floor. Tech support was less than helpful so back it went. My Roborock 2024 Qrevo Curv has been the best robot I've ever had. Navigation is great and it is consistent day in and day out. Its even better than the upgraded model I have the curvx.

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.

Yep guess after using ChatGPTs deep research extensively, lol I just decided to bite the bullet for Qrevo Curv, as I kinda want easiness of mind as well on my case. I was running an Ecovacs for the last 3 years and it had so many issues with mapping and software so far. And thats what Im reading about them really. So eliminate Ecovacs, there are only such less robots left from the premium tier. I was torn in between Dreame X50 and Curv or S8MaxV so far but S8MaxV is a bit old-ish nowadays and from what I read about Dreame, some mapping issues or sensor problems or app glitches are the things that I dont really want to go back to. So with this market in the UK(no Saros 10R), I’m pretty down for Curv at the moment and gonna pull the plug. Hope that helps to you as well.

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

Most robo vacs can only handle thresholds up to 2cm. The highest climber is the Dreame X50 Ultra. It's ProLeap extendible "legs" allows it to climb up single thresholds up to 6cm, so it should easily handle 4cm. Roborok's Qrevo Curv series can lift it's chassis over obstacles up to 4cm if it's a double step. Alternatively, you could consider adding a ramp, double step, or a thick pile rug in front of the threshold to reduce the hight for a vac. If not, then you'll want to get a vac that has good multi floor support in the app and have the two levels setup as floors but that will involve manual intervention when you want to vacuum the alternative level.

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

I’ve had iRobots, Exocets, Samsung, Deebot, Eufy, and now a Roborock Qrevo Curve and hands down the curve is the best I’ve owned. It uses less water which means less refilling, it’s obstacle avoidance is great, especially if you leave lights on for it, and it just performs much better in my household than the Omni T20 it replaced. Now the T20 is on main bedroom duty (we have dog gates, so one robot can’t do it all) We have 0 carpet though, and no rugs, so I can’t speak to any of that. But the dual roller design has cured the need for constant detangling of the brushes - we have 4 long haired humans and a 4 dogs, one sheds constantly. It’s been a game changer. I got it for $1,099 and literally would buy another one if something happened to this one.

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!

His cleaning tests are good but his obstacle avoidance test really needs work. He only tests on hard floors which is the easiest floor to test on, carpet is much harder for most robots when it comes to object avoidance. If he tested on carpet, the Roborock products would end up rank much lower as their object avoidance algorithm is horrible even on their top object avoidance performer, the QRevo Slim. Even on hardfloors, I found the QRevo slim still was not as reliable and consistent at avoiding obstacles as my Dreame X40. Object avoidance really should be one of the most important things a vacuum robot can do as the usefulness of a robot is significantly reduced if you cannot trust it to run on a daily schedule and if you have to babysit it. He also doesn't really test how effective the extending side brushes work and in that realm roborock also is behind the competition as their algorithm for determining if the arm needs to extend or not only really work in perfect 90degree corners. Dreame on the other hand actually extends in any case that the robot thinks it cannot reach normally which results in much better edge and corner cleaning performance. Additionally, the side brush design on the new Roborocks is slightly angled which prevents full contact when extended leaving a large dead spot (I think the QRevo Curv is the only one without this defect). To be fair, this isn't something most reviewers really test at the moment, but it does make me suspicious why Vacuum wars rates roborock's products at the top of his ratings every time. I feel that Jaime Andrews is a much more reliable source of information as he properly tests object avoidance and cleaning performance along with generally avoiding sounding like an advertisement. There are lots of vacuum wars videos which just sound like him reading off the manufacturers press release and then not properly verifying their claims. Regardless, Vacuumwars is just another source to consider but I wouldn't consider him the best reviewer. JustADad seems like a good source for more real-world use reviews but his videos are a bit long and not really easy to watch unlike Jaime Andrews and Vacuum wars. Jaimie Andrews is an overall good source, he's active on this subreddit and I believe he runs the unofficial Roborock subreddit but even with him running that subreddit, his reviews are very impartial. Rtings has been putting out more reviews now and they just released their review for the Eufy s1 pro, QRevo Curv and soon the Dreame L40. If you are buying, purchase from a reputable retailer with a generous return policy. Maybe purchase two robots you think you are interested in and return the one that performs worse in your use case. That's what I did when I bought the Dreame X40 and QRevo Slim and returned the QRevo Slim to Amazon.

I don't know why these people are recommending anything other than the QRevo Curv It's the only one that's confirmed basically 0 tangle (which is a nightmare for older bristle models) + it has bristles.. Q8 Max+ does not - it only has the plastic flapper which basically pulls no hair up. Spend the money and get the Curv.

I have the QRevo Curv and so far I love it. I have 4 cats, 3 of which are long hair. I’ve not had a single hair tangle since I purchased it. My older vacuums the S6 Max V Ultra was constantly wrapped up in hair.

Two long hair cats checking in with the Curv- no tangles and a spotless floor!

I was in the same boat and then just quit thinking about it and grabbed one of the stated 'best'. I bought a qrevo curv.

We have just purchased a Qrevo Curv and find it to be incredible. We have quite a large house with a complicated layout with a bunch of different thresholds, a range of floor coverings, an eclectic collection of furniture, and we have pets. It is early days yet but we are impressed to say the least with its performance.

Hey all! I'd like to formally introduce myself. My name is Justin, and I'm a Robot Vacuum tester at RTINGS. I've tested 30+ robot vacuums since my career started here, and have learned so much from research, testing, and this Subreddit specifically. Some of you might have seen me on here making some personal recommendations in some of the posts in this Subreddit, but Prime Day is a great time to provide some insight on making a decision, since the market is currently overwhelming. **These recommendations are based on products we've bought and tested ourselves**, since we do not accept review or sample units from manufacturers. **I also wanted to disclose that we do make money from affiliate links and ads on our website**, so I will not be providing any links to our reviews. **First step** is to not panic. Figure out the needs of your space, your expectations, and your budget. Write them down and try to narrow it down to maximum 2-3 options. **General expectations** for all robots based on what I've seen and my personal opinion/experience: * **They will not replace your regular vacuum and mop for deep cleaning**, but they will extend the time between your deep cleanings. * **Obstacle avoidance is not that big of a deal if you don't have kids or pets.** Tidy up loose objects on the floor, tuck away cables, and set no-go zones, and you'll usually be good to go. * **You likely don't need to run it everywhere, every day.** Consider your needs and strategize. Use manual configurations, schedules, and spot cleanings over the built-in AI systems to tailor it to your needs. * **They usually always get hair stuck somewhere, especially long hair.** I have yet to meet a robot that has not gotten hair stuck with our standard 2.5g of long hair. That being said, some are better at it than others. * **The maintenance for the mops/water tanks is very frequent**, but saves more time overall. The general maintenance is usually quick overall, though. * **Recurring costs are generally higher and more frequent than regular vacuums.** You can try third party options for brush rollers, but we usually don't test that. * **Even premium models usually have seal problems** **and do not filter as well as standard vacuums with better HEPA/S-Class Filters.** If you have allergies, most of the robots will shoot allergens back up into the air. Consider an air purifier if you really want one. (The Levoit Vital 200s is great and on sale too) * **Advertised suction is usually not helpful or representative of pickup performance**. The Roborock S7 Max V is a great example of a robot with low advertised suction (5100 Pa) that still remains competitive in hard floor pickup performance to this day. * **Be vigilant of defects, especially on new models.** Brands are pumping out models faster than we can think. In my opinions, there are bound to be quality issues. If you see something wrong, exchange it or go with an older model that has proven reliability. * **Sales will come back. Often. Black friday is right around the corner.** Don't impulse buy just cause of a big sales event. **Dreame L10s Ultra/Pro Ultra ($299 USD/$479 CAD - $399USD/$499CAD) - Best Introduction Robot for Small Spaces** with mostly hard floor. * Decent hard floor performance, fully featured dock, great obstacle avoidance, decent mopping, upgradeable for carpets with the Tri-Cut Brush. * Mid battery-life, cold water and cold air drying (pro version adds heat), have seen complaints of poor customer service from Dreame. Uncertain about long term reliability. * At this price, you really can't go wrong if you just want something to help with day to day cleaning. **Roborock Qrevo Series ($399 USD/$549 CAD)** \- **Best Budget for hard floors** * Great hard floor pickup and navigation. Mid-on carpets. Bad at removing pet hair from carpets. * Awful obstacle avoidance. Decent Mopping * Roborock seems to have a better reputation for reliability. (Based on comments in this Subreddit) **Roborock S8 Max V ($1099USD/$1199CAD)** \- **Best For Carpet and Pet Hair** * Good all around pickup, excels on carpet thanks to its dual rollers. Corner coverage. * Expect hair tangles in the edges of the brush rollers. * Mid mopping performance, so you might have to manually clean hard stains. * Decent Obstacle avoidance, but not the best. * Older flagship. **Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni** (**$799 USD/ $1199CAD) - Best Mopping** (Not published yet on our website, but we've tested it) * Great hard floor pickup, decent carpet pickup. Okay, at removing pet hair from carpets. * Okay obstacle avoidance on hard floor, bad on carpet. * Excellent mopping. * Unsure of Ecovacs reliability and app experience, as I've seen complaints on this Subreddit before. * Currently borrowing this model, and I'm really impressed with it. I have not experienced any dock leaking, but this is something that I've seen brought up for other roller mop models. **Roborock Saros 10R ($1199USD) - Best overall for most people** * Excellent hard floor cleaning. Decent carpet cleaning. Struggles with pet hair on carpet. Good for mopping. * Excellent hard floor obstacle avoidance, bad carpet obstacle avoidance. * Excellent maneuverability. Slim body allows it to get underneath furniture as low as 3.1" (8 cm). Can also climb thresholds up to 1.5" (3.8cm) in our tests. * Not available in Canada. **Popular Models I'd avoid, but doesn't mean they wouldn't be the best option for you:** * **Dreame X50 Ultra:** It's dual rollers struggle with hard floor pickup more than the dual rollers on the S8 Max V. I also borrowed it for a month to test it in my home, and it would leave clumps of debris everywhere, especially near thresholds. This is based on our testing and my subjective opinion, but it was a miss for me. * **Dreame L40 Ultra:** Controversial, I know, but I was also underwhelmed with its hard floor pickup performance, especially with finer debris. It's decent for carpet, though, and might perform better with the Tri-cut brush. It also scored worse in obstacle avoidance than the Dreame L10s Ultra, which is bizarre since it released 2 years after it. This is another model I borrowed, and was not satisfied with it's cleaning performance in my mostly hard floor apartment. * **Eufy x10 Pro Omni:** It was one of the vacuums I had the most trouble testing due to navigation issues and app issues. Its pickup performance was also pretty poor on carpet, and just okay on hard floor. * **Dyson VisNav 360:** Great potential, but flawed execution and use of old tech make it a bad purchase in my opinion. This thing packed a punch and was excellent at picking up stuff it went over, but the problem was it would frequently miss areas and get lost/confused. * **Shark robot vacuums:** Some of them are good for pickup, but their built quality, navigation issues, and bare-bones app makes question their value. Honorable mentions: * **MOVA P10 Pro:** Best obstacle avoidance in our test out of every single model. Good hard floor pickup, mid carpet pickup, okay mopping. Comments in this Subreddit have mentioned MOVA's manufacturing quality and customer service are question. We had to return our first unit because the dock was non-functional, but the second unit works well. Let me know if you have any questions about my recommendations, and hope this helps out! Edit: I will only be responding while I'm at work, so expect a delay of 24hr for a response. Also added 2 expectations.

Fellow Canadian here! It really depends on your needs. I haven't tested the 10, but I have tested the Curv and the 10r which both the same brush roller and extending side brush, so performance should be in the same ball park. If you just have hard floors, the Qrevo Curv should be good for what you need, but it does have poor obstacle avoidance (4.7/10 in our testing). Its mopping is quite great too! (8/10) If you have carpets and want better obstacle avoidance (7.2/10), the S8 MaxV Ultra is a solid choice at $1349 (for the white model) at best buy. Its mopping is just okay (6/10), but should get basic maintenance done. Both robots are tall and will likely struggle to get under low furniture. The Curv does have a threshold climbing system, which is also a plus. I can't really comment on the Saros 10, but it should theoretically have better obstacle avoidance than the Qrevo Curv, and perform about the same as it or better. Hope this helps!

I ended up buying the CurV model. Hair doesn't climb the baseboards so much but it could also be that we keep up with vacuuming?

I ordered the Qrevo CurV because it's on sale for 1K target and it seems to have better tangle free features. Do you approve?

Take Curv. Easier maintenance with the removable base to wash it. The divide brush is a must with pet

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 :)

I feel confident enough to launch the cleaning when leaving the house, when i know that no “surprises” are around. My cats don’t usually make mess though

Yes, I had the very first Xiaomi vacuum (LIDAR + ultrasonic proximity) before upgrading to the QRevo Curv recently. Always felt confident enough to launch while leaving the door knowing everything was in order

The Qrevo Curve handles the hair perfect.

I have a hardwood with dark spots on the first floor. L40 detected them as obstacles and didn't  clean about 40% of the surface. That happened every single time it was cleaning, and every time I updated the map and removed obstacles. Qrevo curv was eating cords in one place, that was easy to remove. Otherwise was cleaning 100% of the floor.

I have this one sitting in my garage, it pisses me off so much, it's great at mopping etc etc however it uses too damn much water I need to keep replenishing the water tank after 3 days, not ok but when it comes to vacuuming the carpet it's absolutely shit house as well as any kind of edge cleaning... I bought Qurevo Curve to replace it and it's been a dream ever since, no more dirt and dust along the edges of my home.

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

If obstacles avoidance is important, the Curv is lacking, but if tangles are the thing, the Curv is really good. My pets don't poop on the floor (knock on wood), so avoidance isn't an issue for me. With 4 ladies in the house, hair tangles were a constant problem for my iRobot. With the Curv, that problem is gone and the quality of the clean with hardwood + rugs is fantastic.

It's pretty bad. My S8 does a decent job, but the Curv has missed even medium sized obstacles. I do believe this may improve with a firmware update since the sensors are there, but as it is now, I always do a once over when I know it's going into the room.

I’d go with the Roborock Qrevo Curve—it’s got killer suction and mopping skills, perfect for wooden floors. If you wanna save a bit, the Dreame X40 Ultra is also a solid pick and does the job well. Since you don’t have pets, you don’t need to worry about fur battles, just good ol’ floor cleaning. If you’re still stuck in decision mode, [This thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmartRecommendations/comments/1jcd5yp/which_is_the_best_robot_vacuum_cleaner_for_wood/) might also help clear things up!

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.

Well, Roborock with Adaptilift would do the job (Qrevo Edge/Curve and Saros 10/10r) or Dreame X50 Ultra and Mova V50 Ultra. Most robot vacuums can climb up to 2cm, but that's the maximum limit, so you better choose the above models. Btw, I love your room layout. It looks very pleasant to my eyes.

Airflow in CFM is more important than humongous suction power in Pascal. Roborock's latest model, like Saros and Qrevo Curv, has a lower CFM number than other brands like Ecovacs or Dreame. Even old Roborock models like S5 and S7 have better airflow than the current model. Airflow is important to pick up fine dust, and suction power is important to pick up large debris. So, a good vacuum cleaner must have a sweet spot between those criteria because having too much of either the suction or airflow will diminish the cleaning performance. Nowadays suction power is more like a marketing bluff rather than true cleaning performance. Some reviews showed Saros 10r unable to pick up fine dust or hair embedded deep in carpet. The brush design, motor, and airduct design also play a role in the airflow and suction power. The airflow would decrease if the distance from the cleaning head to the motor increased. Like the complex cyclonic Dyson, increase the distance path for the air to take, causing it to lose significant airflow while still having strong suction power because suction is a form of vacuum pressure.

Bonjour je l’ai eu à Noël je suis totalement déçu il laisse des miettes de pain ou autre débris, poil de chien etc … Je m’attendais vraiment à mieux pour le prix.

If I was you I’d wait until the next big sale and get one of the flagship models. I got the Qrevo Curv during Black Friday for $400 off. At the same time the Eufy S1 Pro Omni was $999. The flagships have better camera systems for obstacle avoidance, higher suction, and other “advanced” features that will probably improve your experience. With CES 2025 starting tomorrow, I could see a lot of liquidation sales happening. Look out for prices on the Narwal Freo X Ultra, Eufy Omni S1 Pro, etc. Additionally, the Yeedi M12 Pro+ has a $250 coupon right now and I’ve heard good things.

Hi there, I’ve been using robot vacuums for quite some time now. We live in a 150 m² house, and I run the robot every night to vacuum and mop the floors. The house has a mix of carpet and stone tiles, and we also have a dog and two cats. I first had a Roborock S8 Pro Ultra and later switched to the Roborock Q Revo Curv, hoping its obstacle avoidance would be better. While the Q Revo does perform a bit better, it still gets stuck a few times a week (even though it runs daily). Most of the time it gets caught on socks or chair legs. What I really like about the Q Revo are the brushes, they’re far superior to the S8’s. With the S8, I had to untangle them almost weekly, whereas with the Q Revo, I hardly ever have to. If it weren’t for the frequent “getting stuck” issue, the Q Revo would be perfect. Price is not a factor, I just want the most hassle-free solution possible. Does anyone have a recommendation for a robot vacuum with significantly better obstacle avoidance, but with at least the same suction power and mopping performance as the Q Revo Curv?

Pretty satisfied with my 2 months old Qrevo Curv. Looks nice and vacuuming mopping performance really good

Saros 10R and Qrevo Curv both have the DuoDivide brush, which is great against hair tangles and terrible for vacuuming carpets. They are great mops and the automation is amazing, but they are worse than the one you already tried for what you need it to do.

Look at the qrevo curv, it’s a better version of the s8 maxv ultra. I got mine recently and it blows my s6/s7 maxv ultras away. It doesn’t miss stuff like those did and can even handle my high pile shag rug.

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.

The build quality is quite different. The S series is a step up. You can feel the difference in the thickness of the plastic, the texture surface and trim level. As far as cleaning goes they both perform well so it’s just your preference. I think the Xanadu egg shape is ugly and outdated. I prefer sonic mopping with great dirt detection.

You get what you pay for. I owned both. I’m a bit bias. The curv mop pads don’t seem to get clean very well by the dock. I would rinse them out after they were cleaned, and there was still dirt in the mop pad.

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

It's silver and it's bad (not HA fault) My newest roborock is not supported at all (all new models actually) my qrevo curv (supported) availability becomes unknown all the time (well known issue). I wouldn't recommend roborock to anyone if you want a HA integration.

Wrong comparison. Apple is not using my camera or my photos in the cloud. With roborock who knows what are they doing with the data. I'm using my curv only when I'm not around and it's internet access is enabled only during this time.

Just bought a Qrevo Curv yesterday. Super excited for it. I’ve never had a good bot, just a 10 year old Roomba that wanders around aimlessly with zero navigation.

Nice! Mine arrives tomorrow! I can’t wait.

2 kids, 2 cats and a dog here. All of the above. Anything that saves me time in long run is worth it to me. I have a roboroc qrevo curv. Excellent on hard floors with area rugs. Excellent with hair and fur. It runs every night. Navigation is good but not perfect. Namely it cannot really avoid ingesting wires and small soft toys. it does keep you responsible for picking things up every night. The maid comes every other month or so. Or before hosting. The home does feel lighter and fresh afterwards. But again you got to do the pre-work, pick up big stuff, put away laundry etc. Rarely ever have to touch regular vacuum. Just touch ups.

I'm on my 3d Premium Mop/Vac since December. I've run Roomba Vacs for years. Roomba is no longer the top dog. They did manage my high thresholds well when I set up door mats across the threshold to make a bridge. They vacuum ok. The self empty is good. Their vac strength and object avoidance is lacking. First premium was a Dreame x40 Ultra. Great machine if it could hold its mops. Worked great for about 4 weeks. It was able to jump thresholds without an issue, it updated the map each run and identified obstacles well. It never got stuck. Never sucked up a sock, pen or tissue. Then it stopped picking up it's mops when heading out to a mop only cycle. Sent it back. Second Pre was an Ecovac T30 Ai. It had a hard time with the thresholds. Did not make it over established ramps that the Roomba's (2 different) and the Dreame made without a problem. This resulted in a bad map. Once the room showed on a map, you could send it to that room and it would jump the threshold 2 out of 3 times. But it had only looked through the door and saw half the room. So it would either mop/vac half the room or get lost when it got to the section it had not mapped. It did not update the maps as it went. So it was not possible to get a 'good' map. It also does not seem to be multi-floor compatible. It went back. If I didn't have high thresholds it would have mapped well and I'd probably be super happy with it. Functionally it was good other than the threshold issue. 3rd and hopefully last is a RoboRock QRevo Curve, same bot as the Edge in a different base. It has been running well for the past couple weeks. Object avoidance is not as good as the Dreame. It has got stuck on a cord 2x and sucked up a small black cloth I use to clean my glasses. Both times stopping and waiting for me to help it. After helping you set it down and press play on the app. It locates and continues where it left off. It does seem to clear pet and human hair from it's brushes. I've run it for a few weeks in a house with a cat and a girl with long hair. I just looked at the brushes last night and they had zero hair in them. Moping could be better. I'm still working on that. I think I need to increase the wetness or wash frequency, it leaves swirls. All that said, I'm probably keeping this one. The gripes are minor and I like it's ability to raise itself over thresholds. It currently is cleaning a room the others could not get in and out of.

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.

I have a qrevo curve. It goes over bigger bumps than that. But that is a designated feature, so I assume a lot of others can't.

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

Seems like a very good robot, it’s a bummer Eufy dropped the ball on Matter support by not including the room selection feature. That was a dealbreaker for me, I just bought a Qrevo Curv instead because of that even though it’s not as good at mopping.

I have been using the qrevo curv for about 250sqm of space, mostly or about 85% hardfloor without mopping. Its done well. For the remaining 15%, the bathroom tiles, entrance tiles, and kitchen tiles are mopped once or twice a day. It has done a solid job and the battery seems capable of charging quickly enough to handle the whole space.

I have a long-haired wife, a long-haired cat, and a short-haired cat. The Qrevo Curv's new brush design (the DuoDivide) hasn't been tangled once in the month that I've owned it. For comparison, the Roborock S4, which I had previously needed to have its brush untangled every few days. Mopping is pretty good too. Obstacle avoidance is ok, it seems to be best at identifying my two cats and never runs into them. Overall cleaning is quite good and I'm pleased with it.

My Qrevo Curv seems to detect rug edges and performs a small zig-zag motion to pick up items along those edges on hard floors, which is a significant improvement over my old S4.

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

To me it’s easy choice. The Curv since it has the anti tangling roller and side brush and you mentioned you have cats and person with long hair. If you don’t care about that then get the cheapest. They are both very similar, the Curv dock is a bit easier to maintain but that’s about it. Don’t get the 10R unless it’s heavily discounted or you need top notch obstacles avoidance, or you have thresholds higher than 2cm.

It depends on you and how dirty your floors get. I couldn't live without mine, but I live with one cat and two Australian Shepherds and two young adults who may never leave the nest (🥴). Without the daily cleanup from the robot, my life would be unmanageable from the dog hair alone. I have the Qrevo Curv, and I love it. If you're single, have no pets, and tidy... then maybe you don't need one.

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. 

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.

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

We have a q revo and it’s great

Q revo. Which.... give the stats table might not make sense, but its the most reliable of the three, which i've tested.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

Object detection, specifically the smallest. I have cat toys that hang around everywhere and regularly my Q Revo blocks on it. Having to put them away before launching the robot and the only reason why I don't start it without my presence.

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 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!!

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 :)

A robovac, especially if it mops, is going to need more maintenance than a regular vacuum. How often do you or your spouse go over there? How much stuff do your p-I-ls leave laying around on the ground? Do they seem interested? Have you shown them videos? Even with a base station that cleans the mop pads, you still need to launder them as well as fill the clean water tank, empty the dirty one, and check the base dust bag. You also need to check and clean the vacuum itself once a month or so for hair or debris. It’s kind of like owning a less annoying pet. I really like my Roborock Q Revos. They’ve been super reliable.

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.

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.

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.

Our Roborock Qrevo vacuum/mop is still going strong after years and the pet hair don't faze it at all. I only ever heard bad things about iRobot and Shark

We have a Roborock that is about 2-3 years old now. QRevo 1st gen. Works great and keeps the hair/fur down to a minimum.

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.

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

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.

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).

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/)

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.

Ik zat lang te twijfelen tussen de Dreame L10s Ultra en de Roborock Q-revo. Uiteindelijk ben ik voor de Roborock gegaan omdat deze technisch toch wat beter is. Hij is wat duurder maar hij heeft zichzelf inmiddels al dubbel en dwars terugverdiend.

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

Hát jah, az alap modellek (amik mondjuk már vannak annyira jók, hogy van benne térkép meg ilyenek, 100-200k közöttiek) nem igazán felmosnak, inkább feltörölnek egy nedves ronggyal De van Roborocknak is olyan ami kicsit jobban fel tud mosni, pl. Roborock Q-Revo, annak ugye az állomásában van extra víz aztán úgy cserélgetni meg mittomén. De az 300-400k között mozog Nekem csak egy sima S5 van már vagy 5 éve, abban csak ilyen béna nedves rongy szerű feltörlő van, nem is használom. De amúgy imádom, jó cucc

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.

This won’t be any help to find what you’re looking for, but I just want to push back on your requirements. Auto mop washing is probably one of the most worthwhile features of any robot mop. The whole point is frequency of cleaning due to convenience, and manually removing and washing pads takes the automation right out of it. I would say, with you worrying about something going wrong with the auto washing system: the rotating mops have been so successful compared to vibrating partially because the washing system is so simple. Since the pads rotate on the robot itself, the dock doesn’t need moving parts to clean the mop. The pads simple rotate quickly on what is basically a fixed washboard and the dirty water is sucked out. Way simpler and therefore cheaper, hardly anything to break. Secondly, as far as bags go. Bagless in any form of vacuum is practically a gimmick. You always need something for air to flow through, and if you don’t have a bag, then you have a filter to clean or replace. And they tend to be much much messier to do so, and then the machines don’t last either because the dust gets everywhere inside the machine. If you don’t have pets, bags last a long time. It’s just my opinion but I think you’re really unnecessarily limiting yourself for nonissues. There’s a reason these features have become basically the standard, they work well and work reliably. If I were you I’d get one of the Roborock revos or similar and call it a day, it will be a much better experience overall. I had a Revo and then a MaxV and was happy with both.

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

+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.

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.

Trust me you don’t need to drop $1800 on a robot vacuum. Any decent flagship Roborock will do, S8s or one of the higher end Q Revos. Saros is great but again you don’t really need them. Would avoid the other ones.

Hmm. I have. Q Revo OG and am pretty happy, but am being tempted by the Q Revo EdgeC. It sounds great but your comment has made me worried.

Depends on your flooring and needs If carpets - Roborock - best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock (most newer models) If hardwood and no pets (Read not an inordinate amount of vacuuming) - Eufy S1 Pro - Best mopping hands down along with pretty good vacuuming

Ich sehe das ein wenig anders als die meisten Kommentare: kein Staubsaugerroboter zu besitzen ist schlimm. Irgendeinen Staubsaugerroboter zu nutzen sind 80%. Hauptsache ist, der Roboter lässt sich programmieren, findet seine Ladestation und läuft regelmäßig. Teurere Modelle zu kaufen schließt dann irgendwann die Lücke, die man ab und an noch selber saugen muss, je weiter man an 100% will, umso mehr kostet es im Zweifel. Ich hatte schon verschiedenste Modelle, habe im Keller einen Chaosrobo, im Erdgeschoss einen Roborock mit Absaugstation und oben einen Eufy. Eufy wäre mein Preis-/Leistungstipp.

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

I saw recommendations for the Roborock vacuums. Having used it for 2 days, it's been solid, and the new Q-series does seem to work well with the native homeassistant plugin.

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

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.

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.

I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
