Roborock - Qrevo Plus

Here in Australia we have a Q10V plus. Similar situation where I couldn't find a review on it but decided to go ahead with it. Absolutely love the device. I did a quick this vs my dreame d10s plus (previous vacuum) after my usage with the device. Here's the subreddit if anyone would be interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1kidons/roborock_q10v_vs_others/

Hey guys A quick update for those who are waiting. So I ended up buying q10v+ from jb HiFi for 662. Here are my initial thoughts, of course based on comparison with dreame d10s plus. Quality: quality is sturdy, how a few nooks here and there definitely yells out budget vacuum. For example, for the base of the system is a sticky plastic to prevent mop from leaking water. Compared to dreme, definitely dreame gets the points. Map: ok so this was new to me. Dreame used camera and lidar. Whilst mapping it went to every corner of the room to get the map working. I was tad bit surprised with roborock as it only went not even half way, but got the mapping pretty spot on. Though I would have to redo but boy was I wrong. Point roborock. Initial setup: dreame was pretty darn seamless with initial setup, however, roborock struggled a bit. We eventually got their but took us a few tries. Point dreame. App: hands down roborock. So many more options, quick and snappy. Point roborock. Overall vacuum performance: boy roborock really shows it's 10000 pa as compared to dreame 5500. Did notice it vacuumed my living area and kitchen twice even though I had to vacuum once. Seems like roborock was intelligent enough to not be happy with the first attempt. Point roborock. Battery: this one is a tough one, roborock went from 100 to 29 whilst vacuuming my living area and kitchen, where dreame used to average around 60 percent. That could also come down to higher power and having a few gos. Mop: I hated my dreame for it's mop performance. Broke down twice. Roborock also has somewhat similar mop pad but with added pressure and vibration it gets the job done. Point roborock. Overall: hands down roborock. The performance of the vacuum was so much better. Though dreame used to follow a similar pattern, it tend to miss a few craves, roborock really outshined. Quality wise I would still say dreame was better quality vacuum and base, but don't be fooled by roborocks budget tag. It's performance is far superior. Also, some might find the comparison a bit counterproductive as I am comparing a 2023 model with 2025. But for the price, this little vacuum is a must have. Thank you all.

For mopping, ideally you will want spinning mop pads and the largest water tanks available (unless you're able to run plumbing). You will likely need to refill the clean water and empty the dirty water tanks daily if the court is regularly used. The Saros 10R has a large clean water tank in the dock but a small on-board tank (65mL vs 80-100mL on other Roborocks) so even though it will do the job, it will also need to dock and refill more often, so probably the least efficient solution with a ton of features you won't care about. The QRevo series is probably ideal. You probably won't care about having the best obstacle avoidance, so even a slightly older one with spinning mop pads will probably be more than enough. I'd probably buy 2 of the QRevo Plus or something similar and have it clean the court from both ends. But really, a consumer robot isn't really the best solution. You will definitely be running these robots to their limit every single day, and you will have a ton of consumable costs.

I have the Roborock Qrevo Plus, and it has been amazing! I have light colored floors and a black Dane and black Cocker. The robot runs every night and every morning we have clean floors. I have a 8 month old baby who is crawling so am also on the floor a lot and I’m always amazed by how spotless they are! Mapping was quick and painless, and I hardly ever have to intervene or rescue it. I also have a iRobot i3 and it’s a night and day difference. App is easy to use, and we have had it for just about a year and have had no problems. Refill clean water and dump dirty mop water once a week. Obstacle avoidance seems to work pretty well too, no incidents yet!

Although both models have a mop extend feature. Dreame has a better mop extend firmware than roborock. I think Dreame can also swing the extended mop, making it useful for under furniture like fridges where stains tend to accumulate or your cabinets. Although this feature wasn’t initially released with the L20 Ultra, I’ve seen users post about how the mop swing feature came to older models such as the L20 Ultra as well. The L20 Ultra will be smarter at keeping itself out of trouble compared to the Q Revo Plus as it has a RGB camera with a fill light and structured light to recognize and avoid objects when the Q Revo Plus only has structured light based avoidance. The L20 Ultra’s base station is better at helping the robot decide whether it needs to rewash its mops and go over a certain area again with its water turbidity sensor. If you want a set and forget detergent kit, only the Dreame L20 Ultra has this as a detergent cartridge. You can empty it and also add a detergent of your own choice. If you’re in the US, you could also look at Dreame’s certified refurbished models on their official eBay store. They do come with 2 years of warranty from either Dreame or Allstate (I’ve seen complaints of Allstate’s warranty being difficult to use compared to dreame’s). I also have seen people complain about the inconsistent quality of the refurbished goods but thankfully you’re covered under warranty. However, the price is unbeatable, the X40 Ultra is 799 USD.

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.

If you want mopping, the QRevo Pro will be the best for this as it has spinning mops and will constantly clean the mops while mopping.

The QRevo Pro is a good choice if it is in your budget with discounts! I see it retails at 659 USD, which was the price I found the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra at (a dreame l40 with no mop removal which doesn’t concern you). MOVA is a dreame subbrand.

The QRevo Pro is definitely not at the same level as the MOVA P10 Pro Ultra. Discounts for robot vacuums seem to be pretty common so you could wait for another holiday and it’ll be back at the same price or lower.

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.

thank you sir! for the honest detailed review. I have ordered both X10 Pro Omni and Roborock Qrevo Plus 2 days ago for very similar price: $550 and $520. I was told that Eufy X10 is not reliable in my deep research. I think I will test both of these Robos and return the Eufy.

hi i actually canceled Qrevo Plus on Amazon on Sunday night. because 1). setting up a robot along with testing through actual cleaning is VERY TIME CONSUMING, i simplely dont have time to set up and test a new robot, along with have to packing up one of them for returning. 2). so far i am actually very pleased with X10. Of course I am only 3 days into having this thing, so I can't speak for long term. But good thing is that Amazon's holiday return period is extremely long, I believe the last day of return is Jan 31, 2025, so I will have plenty of time to test the X10. Hopefully this thing keeps up its performance and I don't have to return it. I am too lazy to spend time shopping, along with setting up a new robot, making a cleaning schedule all over again, that is a whole weekend of work!

Got my Q10v today, literally got my feet up tuning it at the moment, and after a couple of hours of my willing attention it knows the house perfectly and I can deploy it to the furthest room in under 40 seconds!

Awesome update! I got my Q10v today and went online afterwards looking for validation that I made a good decision, thank you!

Roborock is very fast on navigation and battery charging but make sure you turn obstacle avoidance to maximum since it tries to clean hard to reach areas and bumps a lot. I have Roborock q revo plus and when it was 1 month old it bumper looks like it's been racing for about a year lol.

I have Xiaomi x20+. I have no problems with it. Got it for 365 💶. Just a regular vacuum who can self empty and who can wash itself. Obstacle avoidance is fine, but it has no side sensor. I turned obstacle avoidance to minimum to improve cleaning efficiency. I also ordered Roborock qrevo Plus for 456 💶. Roborock has more advanced obstacle avoidance, more configuration and cleaning settings in software, mop who can extend to get corners I've previously owned Roborock and by cleaning I always liked it better. I like it's navigation better.

Xiaomi X20 Pro(can't find any serious review about it) or Roborock Q Revo S(you can find a lot of reviews about it). In my country X20 Pro is 30 EUR less than Roborock, so I'll take Roborock. I'd recommend to check Roborock Q Revo Plus. It has extendable mop for corner moping. Roborock Q Revo Plus is almost same as Q Revo S, only difference is extendable mop. I can't unfortunately recommend you Dreame. Too much complaints about it. Check app store reviews. Even when Dreame gets a new update it's not advised to install it since it will break something in your robot. There was posts where users advised not to install new updates since new update broke carpet navigation system. Dreame is better in obstacle avoidance, better in functions you get for money but in software quality it's not good..

Did my due diligence on these robots for a few weeks before buying mine during Black Friday. I ended up getting the Roborock Q Revo Plus and the investment was incredibly worth it. Yes some of the more expensive ones can do more but it does everything we need to and Ive had 0 issues thus far. The app is also pretty user friendly and hasn’t given me issues. Maintaining him has been super simple which comes with any robo vac. All depends on your budget and how much you are willing to spend but I recommend Roborock first from my experience but would also suggest Dreame. Hope this helps!

We got a q revo plus shortly after it came out and love it. Home assistant integration is a little funky to figure out, like how to do specific rooms and stuff, but it works fine

Roborock Q Revo series, I recommend the Plus model or better. Auto detects carpet and has different settings for it. One setting I like is when telling it to mop and vacuum an area, you can have it vacuum the carpeted areas before even wetting the mop pads. So it will vacuum just the carpet then return to the dock, wet the mop pads, then vacuum & mop the hard flooring.

I have 2 RoboRock Qrevo Plus and love them, I seriously doubt they are BIFL tho.

So based on your needs roborock.qrevo series might be a good fit. I have a Qrevo and has auto empty dock and great with.pet hair due to anti tangle feature Also I have a baby at home and Roborock parts are easy to get so sometimes rather than cleaning them out I just replace them when I don't have time and that might be helpful for the household as you can replace them when you are there and it reduces maintenance Another option with no mop is Eufy , the parts are ok to find and good for pet hair So here are some or the recommendations: 1) https://amzn.to/4dDP1a1 Qrevo series; great for hair. Coat 599 2) https://amzn.to/4dNIDNp Roborock qrevo plus: 599 3) https://amzn.to/4dEAYRA Eufy 60; this is a good starting point if you want to test and dont need a mop. May need some more maintenance but overall good and worth the cost To your point of silent, auto empty docks are not that silent in general so I suggest you check some videos to gauge the noise and if it's acceptable for you. There are different vaccum settings which reduces noise but that's about it, auto empty docks do make noise a little though

I have 2 big dogs with long thick fur (70 & 110 lbs), and the Roborock Qrevo Plus has been awesome. No more embarrassing tumbleweeds the day after I vacuum.

I recently purchased a QRevo Master and Pro during Black Friday. I replaced a Roomba J7+. I’m fairly happy with the mopping functionality but the obstacle avoidance is…a fraction as good. I assumed with all the tech and AI it would be better or at most marginally worse. But it’s really night and day. The J7 was excellent at avoiding even the smallest out of place objects, a sock, a cord, etc. I know commenters will say to just keep things off the floor. But I bought these things to vacuum when I’m out of the house. The was great with the j7. Everything just feels clean when you get back. These Roborocks on the other hand will just pick up any loose object and drag it around for 30 minutes. A sock, a shirt, a small box. Also if you happen to be walking around while it’s running the vacuums will bump into your feet repeatedly. I’ve seen some discussion of this, but reviewers like vacuum wars still give these a 4.7 for obstacle avoidance. I would say it’s like a 3 at best. I’ve also seen some discussion of it being better on previous firmware versions. I’m curious if that’s true. I’m hoping I can be optimistic a software update could improve this. It seems like the hardware should be more than capable, but it’s just not stacking up right now

For our 1400 sq foot house with 2 cats, the Qrevo pro has been a godsend for us. We run it 6 days a week and our floors are nearly spotless (LVP and a few rugs). Twice a month we do a full vacuum to get into the hard to reach areas the robot can’t access and once a month we do a full manual mop with a bucket. The mop water is rarely dirtier than a light light brown.

It looked exactly like this when we used qrevo pro for the first time

I did the same; I returned the Qrevo and got the Qrevo Pro instead. Have you noticed that the Pro takes more time to clean and tends to take extra time, especially around doors and other items?

I bought a Qrevo Pro 2 weeks ago for $659. It's amazing on our hardwood & tile floors. I'm extremely pleased with it. It's currently on sale for $619. I understand $600 is the very, very top of your budget, but for a tiny stretch, you could get one of the better mopping 'bots on the market with an extending mop pad, hot water pad washing, and mopping dirt detection. I am definitely biased having recently purchased, but after too much research I feel it's one of the most capable & well-reviewed mopping bots at that price point. IMHO, it has most of the more useful features of the high-end models for half the price.

I just bought my first robovac, a qrevo pro and I think it’s pretty great, but like I said I’m new to this.

Using a qrevo pro, but get one with mop rollers that squeegee out the moisture. Roborocks software is good.

I have two long haired individuals in our home. I take out the roller in my Qrevo Pro and the hairs come out easily from the sides. . 10 seconds. Didn’t notice any damage to the rubber.

I don't see how anybody can know which models are going to hold up the longest over time. There could be some critical point of failure in a new model that won't be discovered for 2 years. Without some disassembly and analysis, how could anybody know. And regardless of the model, almost all products have bell shaped defect curve where most fail within a certain range of time, some last long, and some fail sooner. So there's also luck involved. I choose the features I want and try to not overspend to protect for the worst case scenario (i.e. early death out of warranty). I hope my Qrevo Pro lasts 4+ years. But I bought it at a price that even it it only goes 2 years I will see it as a good value After 6 months and 160 hours of cleaning time, it's still performing well. It has a couple of small quirks/bugs in the software or firmware. But none are a big deal. (As a software engineer I would like to get a look at the code and have a chance to debug some of the issues. I would also add a couple of options while I was in there. How cool would it be to open source the software!)

For me, the Qrevo Pro. I got mine on sale for $550. If were not on sale I would have gone for the Qrevo. When I compare the Qrevo Pro to other more expensive models, I don't see much difference in the areas that really matter for cleaning. A little better cleaning in the corners would be nice, but the extended mopping arm on the Qrevo pro is great. Auto detergent dispensing I don't really care about. Some models have "sonic" mopping. I see now evidence that this is better than the spinning mops. EDIT: The Edge appears to be similar to the Pro, but it has a larger battery, more suction, and 2 roller heads vs. one. I would take these features, but not at 2x the cost. The Qrevo Pro on sale looks like the sweet spot to me. Some things I would like: * Vacuuming up water from mopping. This will be a new feature and is likely 2-3 years away from being good enough that I want to buy it. * Significantly better carpet cleaning. This is probably not happening in a small vacuum any time soon. * A lower profile like the Slim to get under more furniture. This I may pay more for the next time I buy. Other than a lower profile to get under more furniture, I don't see anything in the more expensive models that I would really need or even want.

The Qrevo pro was terrible at avoiding cables, or anything for that matter. Would eat iPhone cables, HDMI cords, laptop cords.

I can at least help with some of the Qrevo’s based on my own research I’ve been doing for this sale. Like you, I was replacing an older Roborock and didn’t want to go too high but still wanted some nice features. I ended up focusing on the Qrevo S, Qrevo Plus, and Qrevo Pro. They all are very similar, same 7000 pa suction, same 10mm mop pad lift, same object avoidance tech (which tbh isn’t that great from the reviews I’ve seen but I usually pick objects up that could get caught so it doesn’t bother me), mostly same dock capability with auto empty/mop pad washing and drying. The differences are with the mopping and they are minor but it depends how much you value the features that would be included. Qrevo S: The base model, everything as described as above Qrevo Plus: adds the flexible mop arm that offers better edge cleaning Qrevo Pro: adds the flexible mop arm AND has hot water mop pad washing and intelligent dirt detection that can sense when the mop pads are dirtier than normal and will wash them extra If it was based solely on just sale price, I would have gotten the Plus for myself. I value having the flexible mop arm to get the most coverage possible. But I was able to get a Pro for an even better deal through Target with coupons so that’s the one I went with. I’ve seen that the hot water wash and intelligent dirt detection are a little gimmicky, but ultimately it was primarily about the mop arm for me and I chose the Pro because I could get it for a better price. Hope this helps!

It’s the only Qrevo with an RGB camera so I think it has to be related to that. Perhaps the camera detecting objects helps boost its avoidance in addition to the structured light sensor? I’ve noticed my Qrevo Master detects better than my previous Q8 Max+ or Qrevo Pro, but it still hardly detects cables at all. I have a corner with a pile of cables (just moved and still need to hide them) prime for the detecting that it has never noticed, but there’s a single power cable under a piece of furniture that it detects almost 100% of the time, which is so odd to me. I’ve forgotten my phone charger cords on a rug next to my couch a couple times and it’s never detected those either. But most dog toys, my floor fan pedestal, and a few other objects it very reliably detects.

Yeah, I thought about getting one with a camera since it was indicated to be better (but variable) and I just went with a Qrevo Pro knowing that if it ever hits a solid animal mess it will be bad. It seems like some of the other systems out there are better at this sort of thing but I'm glad I didn't spend extra for the vision system if it fails that way. I don't really understand why this is so hard to solve, especially with a structured light system. Look for things that stick up above the surface a certain height and skip those things. Color vision should be able to make that better, perhaps not perfect. Pet waste of a certain size seems like it shouldn't be crazy.. cords might be harder. Are there any that are pretty bulletproof?

I bought the Qrevo Pro (800$) and it’s amazing. So clean now.

Qrevo Pro would be the highest tier without having a camera. I received one yesterday and so far, very impressed.

Qrevo Pro owner. Hard wood floors , small appartment . Great vaccuuming and mopping Great mapping Good edge cleaning vac and mop Corner cleaning is where it lacks , and what I mean is the last half inch in the corner will not be cleaned properly . The side brushes do not reach. As far as obstacle avoidance I see here that these robots are not good at it , but it did fine with my random shoes and flip flops being scattered around . Disclaimer : I've only had this robot for about 2 weeks.

The mopping feature is the favorite part of my Qrevo Pro. I've only had it for a few months and it's been fantastic, just have to keep cords under control or they'll knock off the mop pads

Qrevo pro on the 25th.

$599

Yes, I just purchased it with 10% additional discount

\+1 here for the Qrevo Pro

> Navigation: Travels super close to baseboards, navigates area rugs How well does it vacuum along the edge of rugs? I find my Qrevo Pro doesn't get close enough to the edge of the carpet from the hardwood floor, instead it'll go along the edge of the carpet with one wheel up on the carpet and therefore be too far away from the floor to be effective

Mine runs along the carpet, it just often runs with one wheel on one wheel off instead of running along the edge from the bottom

I’ve found that my Pro has a hard time avoiding cables, so I have to make sure that cables are taken off the floor before it runs, otherwise they’ll jam it up

I have similar needs to you and bought a Qrevo Pro last year when it launched and am still very happy with it. In fact I bought another one for my parents two months ago and I was surprised how well it works there even though their house is less tidy than mine. I think that robot has an excellent price/performance ratio. I also bought an S8 Pro max before my Qrevo and while it cleans welll, it doesn’t clean up to the wall, is more noisy, and cleaning the dock is more of a chore than the Qrevo

Fair enough. I was certainly speaking from a perspective if you don’t have much carpet area to clean (in my case it’s 90% hardwood floors). Both are great options. L20 is for $799 for Prime day and L10s Pro Ultra heat is going for $735. Quite the deal! That being said, I pulled the trigger on the QRevo pro lol. Not sure if I am going to regret it or not. Also the Deebot T30s OMNI is for $699 as well. I would have picked that but heard not so good things about the software.

The obstacle avoidance works better on hard floors than carpets which is why most people that review on YouTube praise the Master. They never test it on carpet. Out of all the Qrevo models the Slim has the best object avoidance due to the inclusion of the front facing lidar. No robot on the market is perfect and the real weakness with Roborock is with object avoidance mostly with cords. With that said it accels with dependability, overall performace, near perfect navigation and has the best app on the market. Here is how I tested the Master and the full results of the object avoidance test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNNffT9q_jc&t=292s

It is a very basic system which has not improved much from when it was released which is a hardware limitation. I find the reason you often get mixed reviews has more to do with a lack of understanding of object avoidance which is only designed to pickup and avoid items on the floor that are lower than the lidar on the decklid. You can see the Pro (which has the exact same Reactive Tech object avoidance as the old Q Revo and the Qrevo S) can only really avoid the cup which all robots even with no object avoidance are able to do [in my latest review video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSMqTKFj-aQ&t=74s). I always recommend picking up before sending any robot out. If object avoidance is very important the S8 Series is a good bit better than the Q series. [In my review of the S8 MaxV Ultra](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmWjtQRcG4s&t=444s) you can see how much better it performed than the Qrevo Pro and even the Qrevo MaxV which lacks additional sensors found on the S8 MaxV. If you have pets that have accidents in your house do not rely on a Q Revo to avoid it.

I bought the qrevo pro but from eBay for 565€ I just got it today and it seems to work good.

In my experience the obstacle avoidance is pretty acceptable, but you might want to consider the Q Revo S that’s on sale in Amazon? Supposedly it will replace the regular Q Revo, it’s only a 30 dollar difference with coupon, and it’s 7000 pa

Actually the obstacle avoidance is better, I recommend you research it, but the Q Revo is good.

I didn’t get the S8Max V Ultra because of one simple reason: my floors are rustic open pore uneven tiles (pretty to look at but not easy for the mopping system, which led me since the beginning to lean toward the rotating mops. I bought the S8 Pro Ultra right when it came out, and still use it in other more forgivable areas. I tried the Q Revo Max V, The Q Revo Pro… I personally found them both lacking in the vacuum area… they both have a mopping flexi arm but not vacuuming flexi arm! Which for me was extra important. I have 3 dogs, 4 cats and work from home, very heavy traffic all the time. I find having both flexi arms a life saver. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not perfect, but very close in my opinion!

I bought the Q Revo two months ago and kept it for a month. When the Pro version came out, I returned the Revo and purchased the Pro. It's a fantastic vacuum (I upgraded from the S7; I've also owned a Roomba). For me, the Pro was worth the extra cost because of the flexible mop. The regular Q Revo can't get within a few inches of the edge of a wall, and for me, that was important. No other noticeable differences between the two models for me besides the flexi mop. I know the pro has more suction, but that wasn’t a deal breaker for me because my house is 90% hardwood.

only first photo is loading for me, but looks like a regular rough concrete basement flooring. My q revo pro will vac and mop that just fine. These robots will climb over horizontal char legs and raised floor ledges without issues (just some banging noise).

We just got the Q Revo Pro and have absolutely loved it. I have more confidence in spinning mops than a vibrating microfiber, personally. The Pro allows one of the mop pads to swing outward so it doesn’t miss anything, nice touch. Also much cheaper than the S8 lineup. Highly recommend!

The slim is better than Curv

In my experience, when you by parts from Aliexpress that are labeled "original", they are indeed original parts. Have ordered them several times for my S8 Pro Ultra and Qrevo Slim.

I have two Dreame x40s. Probably one of the best robot vacuums from the last generation. The new generation is the Roborock Saros 10R and Dreame X50. As for the x40, I have two of them and they have probably the best object avoidance on the market while also have great cleaning performance. I run them both on a daily schedule and they have no issues cleaning my house without eating cords, cat toys and other random things that end up on the floor. The obstacle avoidance lets me run it daily without having to prep my house. If you have to prep your house, or can't run the robot on a schedule, it makes a robot vacuum a lot less useful. I basically don't have to think about the robot outside of refilling it's water and cleaning the filter. I also tried the QRevo slim but returned it since its obstacle avoidance wasn't as good. It cleaned well, but the Dreame cleaned just as well while having superior object avoidance so kept the Dreame. Since the new generation of robots just came out, I would wait a bit before buying but it looks like the Saros 10R might be one of the best picks right now. The Dreame x50 also looks good but I've heard some issues and bugs with the software but it does have better features like a self cleaning vacuum filter. Either way I would wait a bit for bugs to be ironed out and more reviews to come out.

Skip Roborock if you want good obstacle avoidance. Their robots are mediocre at it compared to Dreame and the S1 pro. Get the Mova P10 pro ultra, it's basically a Dreame x40 with a smaller battery and missing the ability to leave the mop pads at the base station. It's obstacle avoidance is just as good and it's $679 on Amazon right now. I have two Dreame X40s, great vacuums, never get stuck on obstacles or eat cords/cat toys. Cleans my house well and does a good job getting embedded dust out of my carpets and debris off my hard floors. The Mova P10 pro ultra is basically going to be the same but at a much lower price (Mova is a sister/subbrand of Dreame) I had a QRevo slim and it was horrible at obstacle avoidance. Cleaned as well as the Dreame X40 but it would eat cords and socks and felt like the obstacle avoidance is useless. I bought the slim since it supposedly has the best obstacle avoidance of the Roborocks but it just isn't consistent or reliable to trust running it on a schedule. I want a robovac that I can run on a schedule without having to prep my home. The S1 pro is a good robot if you have hard floors only, but it's vacuum performance is bad compared to the Dreame and roborock. Most of the debris will be picked up by the spinning mop and end up in the mop filter and not the dust bin. It also lags bending on carpet performance versus Dreame and roborock and doesn't have an extending side brush.

Fair enough. In that case it looks like Dreame made a huge improvement with object avoidance with the introduction of their "X" series like the X30 and X40. Considering the QRevo slim is Roborock's best object avoidance offering, the S8 does do worse than it and by extension the S7 is last gen tech. Looking at all the comparisons, most rank the Slim above the S8 and the S7 and then the X40 is well beyond the Slim. It's a shame because roborock would be the best choice if their object avoidance actually was reliable and consistent.

Dreame l10S or l20 if you are trying to save money Dreame x30 if you have a little more money to spend Dreame X40/L40 if you want the best. If you only have hardfloors, the Eufy S1 pro I also like the QRevo Slim if you want something from Roborock but I am disappointed with its Object avoidance capabilities when compared to Dreame and Eufy. Roborock in general is quite trash at obstacle avoidance and it makes it hard for me to trust their vacuums to run on a schedule without having to babysit them but their hardware is solid and reliable. Skip the Eufy x10 that so many shills like. It's got a lot of features that look good but in reality they aren't very well implemented. I had two of them and Eufy partially refunded me for both of them due to my experience with them. Good customer support, but a bad vacuum design that struggles to pick up anything on hardfloors. For the same money I would get a Dreame l10S or L20 instead. I posted my full review here: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/s/AVD9Ph2eHK

Dreame excels at object avoidance. The only decent roborocks are the S8 MaxV and the Slim but they are significantly worse than Dreame and Eufy at object avoidance. My QRevo slim fails to see cords and basic obstacles on carpet and hard floors while my Dreame X40 has zero issues seeing every obstacle and rarely gets stuck or caught on things.

The eufy x10 is trash at actually vacuuming debris: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/s/aP3N1VO5Tt The only thing it deserves an award for is best object avoidance for the money. I would say the best would be the QRevo Slim for carpet/hardwood and Dreame X40 if you only have hard floors. The eufy s1 pro is overrated and has the same suction issues as the x10. It has the best mop, but how often are you actually mopping up giant messes every day with your robot vacuum. Running a reliable robot vacuum with a spinning mop system will do as good on a schedule. The eufy vacuums also lack lots of app and smart home integration features like setting the floor grain direction, setting the location of ramps the robot can use and other smart features that roborock and Dreame have in their apps that Eufy is lacking.

My QRevo slim which is supposed to have a better object avoidance system than the master due to the front facing lidar has the same issue. Constantly running into obvious obstacles that are right in front of it and eating cords that my Dreame X40 never would eat. Very disappointed at Roborock for not investing resources into object avoidance. Also the Roborock algorithm for extending the flexi-arm brush needs a lot of work because I find it extends 10% of the times that the X40 does. Seems like roborock has lots of half baked firmware but on top notch hardware.

Lol all the shills down voting this comment. Roborock is trash at object avoidance. My QRevo slim constantly runs cords over and other obvious obstacles. Returning my Slim soon, keeping my X40s

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.

Dreame x40/L40 or Mova P10 pro ultra. Dreame/Mova have the best object avoidance on the market currently along with having top notch cleaning performance. I run my X40s daily on a schedule and they never get stuck on cords or cat toys. The QRevo slim I also ordered to compare my X40 again would basically always eat a cord, sock or cat toy when running so I couldn't trust it to run on a schedule and returned it. Roborock in general has top notch cleaning performance but horrible object avoidance and I would not recommend roborock for that reason Eufy has pretty good object avoidance, especially in the S1 pro but the common issue with Eufy's products is that they underperform when it comes to vacuum performance. They fail to pick up debris on hard floors and carpets. And perform worse than Dreame/roborock.

If you are ordering on Amazon just buy both and return the one you like less. That's what I did when I was looking at the Dreame X40 and QRevo Slim. I ended up keeping the Dreame since their object avoidance is significantly ahead of roborock even though the QRevo slim is their best performance object avoidance robot. Also the edge cleaning was better on the Dreame and overall cleaning performance was about equal. The QRevo slim was slightly better on hard floors and Roborock is generally a little better on hard floors. For me the object avoidance was really important because I can run the robot daily without worrying about it get caught on something and I don't have to prep my house for it to run.

Ooof. Good luck. I have an X40 and a QRevo slim and I'm returning the slim since they both clean equally well but the Dreame has significantly better object avoidance and better side brush extension logic. The QRevo slim just eats cords and runs into everything.

My qrevo slim tried to go over my dog's tail today. She was not amused, but will probably not sprawl out on the middle of the rug in future. Then again, it was fanned out long fur.  On the other hand, it found a paper clothing sales tag on the floor under my bed, avoided it, and warned me it was there.

I have the qrevo slim and I am happy with it's performance.  It struggles a bit avoiding USB and power cables but otherwise does a good job.  I use them in conjunction with my canister.  Imo robo vacs are not suitable as the only method of vacuuming.  Just a means to vacuum less often 

Yep! I still love my QRevo Master but in real life testing, I think the newer QRevo Slim has better object avoidance (very, very slight edge)

I think it mops better but honestly can’t go wrong with either. I think looking into the QRevo Slim would be worthwhile though.

I just got the qrevo slim ($1000), it does all u said and has a camera to talk to pets when not home. You can also return in for any reason if it doesn’t work for you. Give it a shot. Id stay away from any of that shark brand robot vacuums, went through a couple different models and both duds.

press the edit button on the map and you'll be able to define the cleaning order. I did it with a Qrevo Plus.

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. 

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.

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

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

I 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.

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

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.

Same. I got it a few months ago and my floors are fucking awesome now.

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

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

Roborock Q Revo is IMO the best price/performance ratio while shipping with most flagship features, esp. the self-emptying station that also cleans and dries the mops.

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.

We have the Roborock Q Revo and it's a workhorse.

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.

I love the vacuum, but getting it to integrate with HA is a pain. I wish it was just plug and play.

I got it set up once, but the only options were basically to start (clean the whole house) or to stop. No ability to clean just a room, or to change the cleaning type. I just went to uninstall and reinstall, and now I can't even get it set up. When I try, I get a message "No device found within your Roborock account".

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

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

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

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

The Revo for me too! Using the HACKS roborock integration that works with Xiaomi!

Not so plug and play then

Just an observation, doesn't mean it's not easy or doable. Just means it's not plug & play in terms of what that actually means. Plug & play means in this case that you add the vacuum to HA and it immediately fetches all available information including created routines. All you then need to do is to show that information on a card for example. Just pointing out what the term means. Looks like it requires a bit of effort to get going, which doesn't mean it's going to be hard, but it means it's not p&p. Apologies for the seemingly snarky remark.

Saw a few posts from people cursing how difficult it was to include routines, and how much yaml was necessary to make it all work. I'm talking mopping intensity, vacuum power, what rooms to do in which order and so on. I just gave up mentally before I looked into it more. You're saying it's easy, should I look again?

The Q Revo has been perfection for us

Probably close to a year. Filtered tap water

Qrevo and qrevo pro are awesome!

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). 

I had the roborock qx revo and had to return it after 5 months (Costco)I keep getting lidar cleaning errors. The self emptying never worked well. My parent have the s2? Roborock and has been great even after 5 years (but there’s doesn’t do combo mopping and vacuuming). I’m not sure if I would buy a combo mopping and vacuuming robot next time.

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

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

I 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.

I have a Q Revo that I'm not the happiest with (not great suction, mopping is decent, and obstacle avoidance is terrible) and like you, I was planning on replacing it with an S8... until I saw the Kickstarter for the S1 Pro and instantly backed it. Seems to address all of my complaints and can't beat the price ($899!). I plan on doing a review when I get it next month.

I'm of the opposite opinion and my reasoning is this: when you run these robots on a daily schedule, there's never times for stains to set and get as stuck on as they do in that german video. Another thing is, with the eufy if you spill something, or just want to do a cleaning after cooking something, it's super simple and quick to just walk over to the base, press the play button and have it do a quick run. With my Q Revo I have to go find my phone, open the app, select a mode, and then click start. It's more involved and requires enough steps that I often forget to do it until later on. What I think the eufy needs that would help a lot with really stuck on stains though, is a deep mopping mode where it increases water usage. I suspect that will likely get added with a future update. Regarding the non-lifting vacuum roller, from all of the reviews I've seen it doesn't really get dirty unless it goes over a wet mess that has chunks in it like tomato sauce. But even then, from the reviews where I've seen it pickup freshly spilled milk, peanut butter, etc., the only thing that left (a minor amount of) residue on the vacuum roller was the tomato sauce chunks. Jamie Andrews review will be out in a few days and I'm hoping he tested this more.

Jamie Andrews replied to someone else in this thread saying that his review will be out in the coming days, so we have that to look forward to. I commented above with a counterpoint as to why really stuck on stains aren't super realistic though. I'll repost that here in case you didn't see it: >I'm of the opposite opinion and my reasoning is this: when you run these robots on a daily schedule, there's never times for stains to set and get as stuck on as they do in that german video.

I suspect that will likely get added with a future update. Another good thing with the eufy and its roller mop, is that it also cleans much, much faster than other robovacs since it doesn't have to ever go back and wash the mops. I've seen a few reviewers mention it doing a full clean almost 2x faster than other botvacs. This stood out to me because sometimes I'll put off running my Q Revo solely because I know it can take a while and is loud, which is annoying to hear going for a long time while I'm in the room... and then I forget to run a cleaning session after. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Haha well that's more of a me problem because of my ADHD/ADD. If I don't immediately go get my phone when a spill happens, open the app, switch modes to only do "Kitchen", and start a cleaning, I'll completely forget about it until hours later. Even worse, sometimes I WILL go get my phone, but then get distracted by a notification or text, reply to it, and then lock my phone... without starting the cleaning! 😂 With the S1 Pro's base being at arm level and right between my kitchen/living room, I'd pass it when leaving the kitchen and could easily tap the play button to have it clean everywhere since it has great obstacle avoidance. It seems minor, but the simplicity of that one step process with a physical button and no distractions is perfect for someone like me. With the Q Revo's terrible terrible obstacle avoidance, I can't just open the app and click the big start button without first pre-cleaning and removing any cables from the ground so it doesn't get caught on them (it broke a lamp by doing this before). It's overall a more involved process that I often will put off until later... and forget about lol.

I agree, I have no idea why they’re using such an inferior system on their most expensive bot. Seems a bit lazy of them to not try and innovate like Eufy did. That was me in the Discord, by the way. :) My Q Revo was visibly making my white tile floors looks dingy and dull even with daily 2x mopping using their detergent with max water usage and frequent mop washing. For the past 3 weeks the S1 water has been very dark, but now it’s finally starting to lighten up and the floors look brighter than they ever have before. I truly have never been so impressed.

I'd say you could do even less than u/thisisreadonly2 suggested. I've had my S1 Pro for a month now have done the bare minimum: rinsed off the dirty water tank filter once, rinsed the mop tray twice, and I just cleaned out the vacuum filter today. I've never cleaned out the dirty water tank or even felt the need to since it hasn't developed any nasty smells (the ozonated water really does work at sanitizing!). Same goes for the roller mop, I've looked at it a few times over the past few weeks and it also still looks brand new, so I've never felt the need to clean it myself. Compared to my Q Revo, this is proving to have far less maintenance needed and I honestly abuse this thing lol. This past weekend I had friends over and a few open cans of beer/white claw got knocked over. I put the S1 on the lowest suction (to prevent any liquid from getting sucked into the dustbin, worked great) and it cleaned up all of the spilled drinks perfectly with zero stickiness on the floors. I seriously love this thing.

I have a roborock qrevo vacuum mop. 2 kids and a dog and it works great never had any issues. I also have a sebo corded vacuum for deeper cleans but the robot vacuum helps keeping up

really? it’s been plug and play for me

ah i just made the routines in HA and just call from HA. i don’t use the app

i hear you - my POV, which i realize may not be strictly accurate is that if something can be configured to do complex automations (room cleaning etc) in 15-20 minutes in HA then that counts as plug and play :)

certainly wouldnt hurt! The roborock integration page is (unusually) helpful. With that said, i don'tchange mop intensity or vaccum power with my routines, but that should all be pretty easy. If it doesnt work, feel free to reach out maybe i can help!

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.

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/)

Roborock has a good implementation into HA which I've used the past year. Maybe the Q Revo will be something for you? Or a top model like the Sxx versions. I just switched to the eufy x10 pro omni and I'm bummed that there are no working solutions for HA for this model yet :(. I have to use another app like a noob.

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.

Absolutely love ours

I've been very happy with mine as well. I don't want any of the ones with a camera on it, so I'm happy with the Revo's lidar.

This is why I got a Q Revo. It has neither of these features.

We have a q revo and it’s great

No, not really. I do not recommend buying one. I've had a number of bots over the years, currently the original Q Revo is my main bot. Its works well, except for 1) edge mopping 2) cables dislodge the spinning mops. I've had an iRobot M6 since it was first released. Its more reliable, user friendly than the Vortex (and I don't like the M6 all that much either.)

Currently using a Dyson animal 3, and a roborock qx Revo. And an s7 down stairs. Those battery stick ones from Amazon crapped out too fast.

I have the QX revo bought from Costco. The ultra looks like a lot more suction, but it's not necessary for my floors. The software may be better , my only complaint about the QX revo is that if you say go clean the house it never empties the dust bin until the end. It's not programmable either. The Ultra may have that ability to program frequency of emptying the dust bin? But for that price difference it better do a lot more!

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.

I've done a lot of research these past few days and ended up buying a Q Revo (just arrived actually, about to set it up) - but that was mainly because it was on sale and a lot cheaper than the Dreame equivalent (which would be the L10s Ultra). They seem about the same. The Roborock having a better app experience and the Dreame being better at avoiding obstacles. Keep in mind they were both startups funded by Xiaomi really. But yeah, from what I've read people do complain a bit more about Dreame but in general they actually seem very solid. I did factor in that in my country Roborock is still a lot more common so getting bags and the like might be easier.

I have a Q Revo and run 5 days per week and mop 2 days per week. The waste water tank has a bit of sludge when I dump it into the toilet. I rinse it with fresh water and put it back into the base station. If I had my old dogs, I'd vacuum first and mop second on the same frequency. That way, most of the actual dirt goes into the bag, not into the waste water tank. Dumping the water and rinsing the tank is not a big deal. Floor is very clean. One thing I really appreciate is the removable tray in the base station where the bot rests when emptying the first, waste water and cleaning the mop pads. That has to be cleaned. Since it's removable it's easy to clean. If it wasn't removable I'd have to get on my hands and knees to clean

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.

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

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

App calls it just Q Revo so I assume normal?

Nope,  nothing changed.

Thank you so much! I decided to go with Roborock QX Revo. It looks very similar? It has the rubber brush, mopping, and self-emptying you mentioned! I think it has a higher suction too. It was a bit expensive, but I got it from Costco which comes with a longer warranty plus accessories. Thank you!

Thank you! I decided to go with Roborock QX Revo. It looks very similar? Roborock seems like a good brand!

And this is for the Roborock QX revo. That’s the vacuum I ended up choosing :)

I love it! It makes a huge difference with the pet hair. My dog sheds a lot. It’s very user friendly (for floor layouts, app, and changing parts like the dust bag) and a massive improvement cleaning from my cheaper robot vacuum. This roborock was a bit expensive for me, but worth every penny! My floors have never been cleaner lol

I hope you love it too! Also, the self-emptying and floor mapping didn’t seem like a big deal to me, but now that I have it, I couldn’t go back. It is so efficient!

That’s the price I paid at Costco. When I was doing research, I found it cheaper on some other retailers, but the warranty isn’t as long (and with Costco I trust them). So I felt good about paying a little more for that peace of mind.

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 :)

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.

I'm loving the roborock qx revo from costco right now $499

Love my q revo. If money was no object I might spring for the s8 but I still don't feel like it adds much value tbh Just FYI ebay has crazy deals on official refurbished vacs rn. The q revo was $450 IIRC the s8 was around 740. There were a couple dreame vac/mops for sale as well.

Yes I have a Q Revo with the most basic obstacle avoidance and it helps quite a bit. It stays away from socks and dog toys, the larger most common things. I only wish it was better with cords, but the updated models are better with that

Yep. I dont consider Q revo to have obstacle avoidance. It’s a great robot and I wholeheartedly recommend it to people. But you should basically forget obstacle avoidance with the robot.

Are you saying you can use a $50 coupon at Costco? I just bought the Qrevo MaxV for $850 ($300 off) They’re also selling the QX Revo for $500 ($250 off)

I had the Ecovacs X1 Omni and it was a good mop/vacuum overall but the software drove me crazy to the point where I had to return it. I have a Roborock QX Revo now, and the software is way better. I haven't done a side by side to test which was better at cleaning but the Ecovacs either had a way larger battery or used less battery because I used to use it on my second floor (all carpet, except the two washrooms) and would do the 3 bedrooms with two passes and the rest only one pass and it still had battery left. Setting up the Roborock the same way with the same suction setting, I can't even finish the entire floor with one pass everywhere.

As a qrevo owner, I'd get that if you aren't willing or able to find a spot for the auto drain then I'd either reduce the amount of cleaning (or do it when you're not at home). That said spinning heads are very good at mopping and I make sure not to put stuff around since it will get stuck at a left over cable.

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.

Ok, I'll just make a list, forgive me if I'm wrong. **QX Revo:** `-Only Reactive Tech obstacle avoidance(worst obstacle avoidance of the 3)` `-No mop that extends to the edge of walls` `-No sweeping brush that extends to the edge of walls` `-Cold water mop washing` `-No AI smartplan` `-No pet finding features` `-No sensor in dock to find out how dirty the mop is` `-No anti tangle main brush and side brush` `-Normal laser sensor that can't retract to allow the robot to go under low furniture` **Qrevo MaxV:** `-ReactiveAI obstacle avoidance(uses a camera. mediocre, but works better than reactive tech)` `-Mop that extends to the edge of walls` `-No sweeping brush that extends to the edge of walls` `-Hot water mop washing` `-AI smartplan` `-Pet finding features` `-Sensor in dock to tell how dirty mop is` `-No anti tangle main brush and side brush` `-Normal laser sensor that can't retract to allow the robot to go under low furniture` **QX Revo ULTRA:** `-ReactiveAI 3.0 obstacle avoidance(supposed to be good, best out of the 3 vacuums here)` `-Mop that extends to the edge of walls` `-Sweeping brush that extends to the edge of walls` `-Even hotter mop washing than Qrevo MaxV` `-AI smartplan` `-Pet finding features` `-Sensor in dock to tell how dirty mop is` `-Anti tangle main brush and side brush` `-Retractable laser sensor that lowers the height of the robot to 3.14 in to let the robot go under low furniture` TL;DR the QX Revo has the least features out of the 3, lacking hot water mop washing, edge extending mop pads, camera based obstacle avoidance, pet finding features and a dirty water sensor in the dock, however it still washes and dries the mop. The Qrevo MaxV adds all of these features that I listed above, however its obstacle avoidance is apparently middling. The QX Revo Ultra takes all of the features from the MaxV, but adds hotter mop washing, anti tangle brushes, and better obstacle avoidance and a retractable laser sensor to let the robot go under lower furniture. Sorry for this extremely long and boring list to read, hope it helps though

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.

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.

More than a vacuum without a dirty water tank, but really not that much. I can’t say I feel a noticeable difference in the time I spend on it compared to the Q Revo and J7 I had before. There are more parts, but the vacuum is designed quite well, so all remove/replace operations are easy. The house is mopped 3x a week and vacuumed 5x/week. This is what I do every weekend: - Empty and rinse the dock dirty water tank, fill the clean water tank, put both back. - Remove the vacuum from the dock. Take out and rinse the mop washing tray. - Take off the top cover. Take out dust bin, bang out the filter, rinse both and leave out to dry. - Take out the dirty water tank, remove the main filter and three small filter plugs, rinse all out and leave out to dry. Flip the vacuum upside down. - Take out the vacuum brush, remove hair from both ends, rinse and leave out to dry - Slide off the mop roller, rinse and leave out to dry - Remove side brushes, remove hair tangles, put back on - After a few hours of drying time, reassemble everything. I also plan to take out and clean the caster wheel once every couple of months, but haven’t gotten to that point yet. So far, these operations take me maybe 15 minutes once a week, probably less.

I got the Roborock QX Revo from Costco. It’s on sale now. I use the mop more than the vacuum actually. It can mop your kitchen in the dark after you’ve turned in for the night. I can walk around with bare feet that don’t get dirty!

IMO it never was terrible. Is pretty good at avoiding stuff, I was actually surprised.

I am testing the Q Revo Master and it got an above average score on the OA test (10 out of 12) compared to the Q Revo and Q Revo Max V (both 4). It seems to have similar hardware as the MaxV, updated firmware? Is it rolled out to all previous Q Revos if so?

+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.

Had the Q Revo from Costco and it constantly got clogged. To be fair, we have a long haired cat too. It started to leak both dirt and water. What I’ve learned is that anything combo, which the Q revo vacuum and mops, does a subpar job at both. Will probably try the shark robovac.

Unfortunately it still accumulates on the vacuum duct and I have to manually pull out the hair clog. I don’t know why it was leaking fluid the other day. I think I’ll just mop separately.

The other problem is removing hair that has become tangled in the roller. You can’t just remove the ends like Roomba.

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

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

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