"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."

"My old robot would have been instantly stuck thanks to my dog, who loves to sploot right in the middle of the hallway. But the MOVA navigated everything without getting stuck once. What impressed me most was watching its adaptive AI learn in real time. On day one, it clumsily tried to climb the tripod legs. By day two, it was more cautious, riding up on them only about half the time. On day three, it had figured it out completely and cleaned neatly along the legs without mounting them at all."
"I left the little door under the stairs open during a later clean, and boom — it updated the map on the fly and cleaned that newly discovered room without needing me to remap anything manually. ... It constantly adjusts, recognizing furniture shifts, new areas, or open doors, or if you've moved a rug, which is huge if you’re not always resetting your home to a perfect layout before cleaning."
"Dyson climbs small steps better than most models, even newer ones with extra assist wheels. ... Lets say , you have a thick rug near a wall, Dyson is less likely to get stuck than others."

"They have mapping and self-emptying, which for me are absolutely essential features. ... We've had others without the self-emptying feature and I never emptied them regularly enough, which rendered them less effective."

"The software, specifically, is trash and remained trash up until it died. ... From firmware breaking mopping usage to maps "magically" expanding zones on its own, while failing to go to a previously occupied spot after the obstacle was removed (ex. left a laundry basket on the floor when it mapped, moved the basket and it would "see" that it was no longer there, but never actually vacuum that space.)"
"Home Assistant support isn't great. ... There's an integration with very basic support here: [https://github.com/jeppesens/eufy-clean]"
"the app was awful when it first started making the maps. ... Sometimes the maps would just go missing and I’d have to map again."

"sounded like a loud squeaky balloon. ... Every time I shifted weight or switched sides it was loud. ... Even someone walking by looked at me and said “that’s really noisy”."
"The fan that circulates the air is so ridiculous it sounds like an airplane is idling inside my house, and it literally changes the air pressure in my kitchen and hurts my ears"

"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."

"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. ... 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."
"No need for maintenance so far unlike my q Revo original."

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 $.

r/HomeKit • Top robot vacuum? Unsure if I want mop capabilities. Must be HomeKit/matter compatible. ->Qrevo edge s5a Goes on sale a lot Workin great for me. Floors are so clean. So clean
r/HomeKit • Robot Vacuum/Mop combos that have HomeKit native? ->What settings are you using? I love my edge so far. The only hesitation i have is getting a second one upstairs for mostly carpet i think ill get a S10R to not pull the mops all over.
r/Roborock • Not enjoying the roborock Qrevo Edge. ->I like my edge and for $700 on black friday i think its a good balance between top of the line and budget with enough nave that as long as a cord isnt super flat on the ground its avoided everything.
r/Roborock • Which Vacuum is best suited for my home? ->The edge also has one of the largest cleaning times/area. I use almost 80% on just one pass
r/Roborock • Which Vacuum is best suited for my home? ->Roborock Qrevo CurvX. Had the Edge S5A for a few weeks I got from Prime day sale, but felt like I should’ve went with one with better threshold clearance and obstacle avoidance. Also getting 10% off on top of the sale price makes it seem perfect for price and features.
r/RobotVacuums • What robot vacuum are you getting? ->I found the obstacle avoidance on the Qrevo series to be pretty disappointing. Switched to Dreame L40 and have been very happy. They almost never grab a cord.
r/homeassistant • What are the best robot vacuums right now ->Why are robot vacuum model names so confusing? Anyway, I bought the Roborock Q Revo L (Australian model I think?) in the last Amazon sale and it's been lovely. The spinning mop heads actually work better than I expected - they obviously won't pick up everything like stubborn stains but they do a 90% job every time. I have the one with the auto emptying dustbin, auto refilling and auto emptying water tanks, auto mop washing, and it's great - probably the best money I've spent all year. It does tend to get pretty dirty though, and the area where it washes and dries the mops tends to get a bit gunky and needs a good scrub pretty much weekly. Disclaimer: I've never owned a robot vacuum before this, so I could just be wowed by the whole thing in general rather than the specifics of this particular model
r/RobotVacuums • Robot Mop - Costco Black Friday ->I prefer the s8 maxv ultra over the edge (returned the edge) the vacuuming is significantly better on the s8. The mopping is okay compared to the edge. My floors actually seemed worse with dirt after using the edge.
r/Roborock • Roborock: S8 MaxV Ultra vs Qrevo Edge S5A vs Qrevo Curv - which one? -># [Under $300](https://amzn.to/48R0G4J) Generally speaking, I think its rare you find a great robot at this price, and I've discussed why there's some sense in [not spending the money on real discount robots](https://www.whatrobotvacuumshouldiget.com/2025/06/20/are-budget-robot-vacuums-worth-buying/). Still... there are a few gems worth looking at, as more expensive models drop under this threshold. If you've got a smaller place, or a place with many floor objects, try a Switchbot. Because they're so small, they can get between chair legs and make a small radius around things. Switchbot just doesn't get enough attention, IMO. Lots of people purchased the K10+ Pro on my recommendation during Prime Day and have posted about how happy they are. The 11 made the tower smaller and improved some other specs, but is mostly the same model. The perfect apartment, studio, or office vac. Performs spectacularly well as a vacuum, particularly given the price and stats, but it is ONLY a vacuum. If you're more concerned about a mop, get the 3i. (its great at both, to be clear, but it has the best mop of the bunch). I really like the 3i brand, they're not new, they've been making robots for other companies for years. The G10 is stripped down from premium models, but it had the same sweeper>roller design that is so effective on the higher end models. If you're looking for a carpet forward model, Eureka is the only legacy vacuum brand that successfully transitioned to robots that work. While no brand has great customer service anymore, there's a benefit to Eureka being US based. No waiting 24 hours for a response. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K11+](https://amzn.to/4mOxq1O)|399.99|224.99|44%| |[3i G10+](https://amzn.to/48znS7N)|$449.99|$269.99|40%| |[Eureka E20 Plus](https://amzn.to/4mOwQBd)|449.99|299.99|33%| # [Under $500](https://amzn.to/4o4MPMA) Were seeing some amazing deals in this price band. That L40 Ultra has dropped from the original price of $1499 to under $500. So many people have been grabbing this model since Prime Day and most of them report being quite happy. While it wouldn't have been my favorite at a higher price, at this price, you're getting a premium model at an absurd sale price. I absolutely love the 3i current line up. The vacuum and mop are both fantastic and the app-easy. This is basically my top pick (3i S10 Ultra) minus the dehumidifier. The P10 still has the great sweep/roller design and gets up debris no other brand can without getting clogged. Get this one if you're concerned about larger debris. The Eureka is better than it should be. I loved the sweeper design, it moved debris off hard floors and carpet very effectively and would be my pick for carpet. Rarely got stuck on anything or reported errors, and it was just really reliable. I recommended this model during Prime Day, and got a lot of good feedback from folks who picked it up. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Dreame L40 Ultra](https://amzn.to/48Rswhk)|$799.99|$469.99|41% | |[Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY)|699.99|489.99|30%| |[3i P10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h1Sy3y)|$1,099.99|$469.99|55%| # [Under $750](https://amzn.to/4nypaUV) Roborock has won my loyalty over the past few years by producing consistently reliable robots, and the S5A is no different. A variant of the Qrevo line, with spinning mop heads that extend. While Roborock may produce an absurd number of models, and the S5A is no exception, they are reliable for an exceptional app experience, with intuitive setting locations, great support and good hardware with easy to find replacement parts. The L40S is the best of both worlds. A premium vac, at a not premium price for now. This is the model with the best balance on this list, of vacuum and mop. It improves over the L40 in the previous band with better nav and suction. Finally, if you want to emphasize mopping, Narwal does it really well. My two issues w this model are that it uses a ridiculous amount of water and there's a giant button on top of the machine your pet or kid will want to bop. If you don't mind refilling a lot, and you dig into the settings to lock the button (or don't have kids/pets) this is ideal. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Narwal Freo Z Ultra (White Version)](https://amzn.to/46IEhUI)|$1,499.99|$550.00|63%| |[Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A](https://amzn.to/46ZYXI5)|$999.99|$649.99|35%| |[Dreame L40s Ultra](https://amzn.to/4o5ARCv)|$1,099.99|$749.99|32%| # [Under $900 ](https://amzn.to/4oad9oS) From the day it was released, I thought the Curv was a steal, most of the premium features of the S8 line, at a better price with improvements to the sweeps, extending out beyond the robot. The CurvX improves on the Curv with higher Pa and better nav. I do think its a better vacuum than mop. The X9 is a better mop than vacuum. but other than getting clogged here and there, was generally a good vacuum, and this is a reasonable price for it. Eureka is the best surprise this year. The J15 line is consistent and reliably performing. I love the sweeps, its a very effective mop and carpet cleaner and offers US based support. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Ecovacs x9 Pro Omni](https://amzn.to/46CySzK)|$1,599.00|$899.00|44%| |[Eureka J15 Max Ultra](https://amzn.to/46UkK3x)|1199.99|$899.00|25%| |[Roborock Qrevo CurvX](https://amzn.to/48PvS4j)|$1,499.99|$899.99|40%| # [Over $900 ](https://amzn.to/48OKBMY) In this band are my top two recommendations. Let's start with my favorite robot of all time (a BIG statement). 3i has been making robots for other brands for a while, but the 3i is their first flagship. The S10 Ultra blew me away and became the only robot I've ever kept after testing. It will vacuum anything, without getting stuck or clogged. I mean, giant pieces of mulch. No problem. It cleans water on its own and generates more from the air, so it truly is set it and forget it. Totally autonomous. I've been yapping about it for months, and of everyone who bought it during Prime Day, I'd say people were split, 60/40. Most loved it, but some complained of a musty smell, which makes sense, since the unit is basically a dehumidifier (that's how it generates water). I've had mine for 6 months and don't notice a smell in a very wet state (Oregon), but it seems like something worth noting. So let's talk about the Flow. I tested the Dreame and Narwal roller mops, (and previously, the Eufy roller mops). Everyone is obsessed with roller mops, but the Flow is the first one I recommend. The flow improves on the Freo Z and X by not needing to be refilled constantly, and the vacuum improves over all other Narwal models. I still don't think roller mops are the end all/be all, so I wouldn't recommend dropping $1500 of this model, but I do think the Flow is worth buying at this sale price. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[3i S10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4o7hKIe)|$1,899.99|$1,099.99|42%| |[Narwal Flow](https://amzn.to/3IxMoLX)|$1,499.99|$1,099.99|27%| If you're looking for ALL the models on sale for Big Deal Days, they're [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nvsulx/every_robovac_on_sale_for_amazon_big_deal_days/) or s[ee all sales models at once](https://amzn.to/4nt1sJH).

r/RobotVacuums • Big Deal Day Recommendations by Price Band - These are the robots I'd buy ->the edge and the curv are the same machine, with a different tower design. One is taller, the other wider. Personally, I preferred the curv, but that's all it is, preference. Retractable LIDAR is, FWIW< a very good thing, but if you feel this passionately, go w the edge.
r/RobotVacuums • Big Deal Day Recommendations by Price Band - These are the robots I'd buy ->I bought the Roborock edge because of their review and absolutely love it. I used to be a die hard iRobot user up until last September. Best vacuum I’ve ever used!
r/RobotVacuums • need a better reviewer than vacuum wars ->I got the Roborock Edge back in September. The other half was not pleased with the money I spent but now she isn’t sweeping up dog fur everyday. She quickly grew to love it. Especially for the kitchen.
r/RobotVacuums • My wife is no longer complaining about how much I spent on the robot vacuum ->I went with the Qrevo edge last September and have been so very happy with it.
r/Roborock • What is the best Roborock vacuum to buy nowadays? ->I hav been an iRobot man for years. Owned roombas since 2009. I bought the QRevo Edge this year and I will never go back to iRobot.
r/Roborock • Best robo vacuum under 1500 ->I have the Qrevo Edge. I never thought I would care about the mop but my god is it amazing on my hardwood floors. Handles 3 dogs and one is a husky. The vacuuming, mopping, and traversal have all been flawless since I bought it back last October or November. I love this robot and I was a die hard iRobot fan until I had enough.
r/Roborock • Rec for self emptying robot, no mop that handles pet hair ->I've got one, here's my experience with it: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1fwfz/what\_leveltype\_of\_navigationobject\_avoidance\_is/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1fwfz/what_leveltype_of_navigationobject_avoidance_is/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m2ct18/dog\_acting\_funny\_vacuum\_not\_charging/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m2ct18/dog_acting_funny_vacuum_not_charging/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1flq0/qrevo\_5ae\_freeing\_up\_time\_for\_our\_puppy/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1flq0/qrevo_5ae_freeing_up_time_for_our_puppy/) It seems good, it does bump a bit more into things such as corners than I would have thought, this might be normal for a robot vacuum though, it's my first one so I can't really compare. At the moment it does everything I want from it, only thing I'd like is a bit better obstacle avoidance, specifically not climbing on furniture.
r/Roborock • Is the Roborock Qrevo (2024 / 5AE variant) good for a 2-cat home? Looking for real user reviews 🐾 ->I have the roborock edge and I actually really like it! My long hair doesn't get stuck in it. Tip: let it vacuum only first and then schedule it to vacuum and mop afterwards. That way the long hair doesn't get tangled in the mop or station.
r/Roborock • Recommendations for vacuum + mop that can deal with long hair ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
