"I also have two giant long haired (nonshedding excessively) cats. I shed hair a LOT. Worse than the cats. It works so well."
"It works great with long hair and long haired corgi fur in my home. This is absolutely tangle free in my use and the correct cover can stop hair from going to the sides."
"mopping is BETTER than i do."

"The AceClean dryboard (its mop pad cleaning tray) on these models is currently the best self cleaning mop tray that can clean its mops as the only maintenance required is to occasionally clean a removable palm-sized drainage filter and wipe down the flat dryboard (no nooks and crannies for dirt to hide)."
"mopping is BETTER than i do."
"I find that with daily vacuuming first to remove any debris that could scratch the floor, then making it mop (using the vacuum first before mopping setting so the spinning mops won't drag any debris which will scratch your floors), made my wood floor have a nice sheen and noticeably felt softer, and the tiles were always barefoot friendly."

"I have also had 0 hair wrap. Both my old Roomba and Shark id have to clean the rollers weekly."
"The Anti-Tangle brush is actually Anti-Tangle. All my previous vacuums would get hair tangled in a single run - I'd clean them at least once a week (neato way more) to get all the hair out. After 24 hours, I see 0 hair stuck. Not one. ... That being said I LOVE the anti-tangle brush. 3 Months and I haven't had to clean the brush one time. It's literally perfect for me."
"I haven’t had any issues with tangles on the rollers ... Honestly, I think it’s doing really well considering I have long hair and shed a lot. ... The split roller on the E28 really works."

"I have an even thicker rug than this and my Curv has no issues ... 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 lifting chassis has been a game changer as well, hasn’t got stuck once, can make it into my bathrooms, and vacuum very high pile rugs."
"Excellent on hard floors with area rugs."

"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"After walking them in rainy or muddy weather, having a robo mop take care of the mess is a real help. ... Without the robot we would need to spend a ton more time mopping. ... the convenienve of not needing to mop the house after you worked for a full day is worth it to us. ... So, 30 minutes for 7 days a week comes down to 3.5 hours of mopping saved. ... if it is rainy/muddy outside, they carry a lot of dirt into the house. ... the mopping robot makes a lot of sense and is a real help."
"I have ours set up through Home Assistant with our Litter Robot. 30 minutes after the Litter Robot signals that it has been used, our robovac automatically vacuums our laundry room where the Litter Robot is kept. It works great!"

"The design of the dust bin is, simply put, bad. ... The dust bin volume can't be fully utilized by the robot, and dust and hair will start spilling out when the bin is at 60-70% full. ... This is because of the position of the air filter which is quite awkward. ... cleanup of large areas that get very dirty (dog owners especially), need to have their robot empty the dustbin every 25-35m² (270-380sqft), even with everyday cleaning schedules. ... The robot has a (I think) 220ml dust bin, but it will start overflowing into the brush compartment way before it fills this space. ... If you examine the contents of the dustbin when it starts overflowing, you will see a space of around 60ml being completely empty, and the robot seems to be unable to utilize it, due to the design of the airflow in the dustbin. ... This makes the QRevo Master dustbin's actual effective capacity quite underwhelming ... I guess this problem particularly affects users with a lot of fur in their houses. ... Fur sticks together quite well, and won't spread out in the bin on its own. It's also light enough to immediately start building up next to the filter. ... Being a pet owner is I think the number one reason to buy a robot vacuum, which should mean that the designers should really start thinking about how to solve this issues. ... Their lab tests probably involve rice, sand, and long human hair, but not the menacing dog hair that we predominantly find in our dustbins."

"And this even has a flawed design and cannot fill properly."

"it's also the only robovac I've ever had that ran over dog poop..."
"It gives up quickly and does not map well. ... For example, first time out, it was unable to leave the kitchen. ... So it mapped the kitchen and a space outside the kitchen that it could see was called a room. But it was only able to see 30% of the actual room. ... It did not update the map as the dreame would each run. ... Sent out for a remap. Got the center room and failed to get the hallway that did not have a threshold to cross, got 20% of another room it could't get in and didn't place a wall where there was a wall."
"my Qrevo Edge was not able to avoid some cables or other things like small pet toys my puppy would bring out at times. ... Once it even ran over a little log (of shit) my puppy left out for it which caused me to have to open it up and clean it out."

"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 had trouble with all but one of the thresholds. ... My thresholds are all 3/4" or higher. At least one is a full inch or better. T30 AI is rated to 20mm which is just over 3/4 of an inch."
"It has a very hard time with thresholds."
"Climbing high thresholds"

"My biggest qualm: the mop quality is garbage. ... With the “official Roborock multi surface cleaning solution” including in the appropriate amounts in the fresh water tank, and the most thorough mop settings, I’m lucky if I’m left with anything better than a very odd brown streak around the edges of my floorboards. ... Usually, this is also seen in the middle of the floor, but the robot does not do a decent job against edges, vacuuming or mopping. ... Mopping is great. Just spreading the dirt evenly around the floor….sucks. ... Mop Score: 0/10. ... I’m getting frustrated watching it do nothing in my kitchen for the second time today, and enjoying the brown tinge on my tile. ... My floors look so much dirtier today. ... It’s just consult spreading weird dirt stains everywhere. If I pull out my swiffer wet jet, it’s immediately removing the stains."
"I am surprised how much maintenance it needs to stay in good running order. ... The mopping pad pan gets really dirty, even if all you’re doing is vacuuming.. ... I don’t think it does a very good job of vacuuming out the filter either."
"The self mopping feature imo is not worth it"

"It ’s super loud ... Noise at least on hardwood is easily double the qrevo"
"Roborocks are way too noisy to run at night."
"I don’t run it very often because the sound makes my dog bark so I have to only run it when the dog isn’t in the house, which isn’t that often"
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
r/HomeKit • Top robot vacuum? Unsure if I want mop capabilities. Must be HomeKit/matter compatible. ->We have a q revo and it’s great
r/homeautomation • Wife says it's time, what's the best robot vacuum? ->Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.
r/CleaningTips • Which robot vacuum is really GOOD at handling PET HAIR? ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • I fucking hate this thing ->I see, too much water just spreading the dirt around! Maybe a design flaw for the Curv
r/RobotVacuums • I Was Wrong About Robot Vacuum Mops and What I'm Doing About It ->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 :/
r/Roborock • Roborock 2025 Prime Day – Save Up to $800 ->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
r/RobotVacuums • A week of research and I'm undecided. First robovac, under $1000 ->Q revo. Which.... give the stats table might not make sense, but its the most reliable of the three, which i've tested.
r/RobotVacuums • Comparing three vacuums can’t decide! ->Just got the roborock Qvero curv for around 630 usd in my country (Malaysia) and am super happy with it!
r/RobotVacuums • what is the best robot vacuum now? ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • What’s the Best Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair? ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • What’s the Best Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair? ->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.
r/Roborock • people say robo mops aren’t advanced enough yet. do you agree? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
