I have two Qrevo Pros with self-emptying/mop filling docks that I got for MY four shedding dogs. My house is a rancher so it's flat as a pancake, can't help you there, but so far they have worked well, except:
They suck at dog crap/pee detection. As in, get ready for a mess you won't soon forget. Luckily, my dogs have only gone in the house once or twice, but that one time, QRevo Bravo painted a thin film of dog crap on the office floor. They're also bad about sucking in cords and socks.
They pick up so MUCH dog hair that changing out the bags is a weekly chore. If you find a different model you can just dump a bin you will like that better. You could crochet a chihuahua out of three days of vacuuming here.
My cabinets are just a squeak too low for them to get under, so there's a 3" rim of dust in the kitchen and bathrooms. Take that into consideration when you're looking.
We have the q revo pro and we have 3 dogs (2 shed) and 2 toddlers. I love the q revo pro. I do make sure to clean hair out of the brush every full clean but overall it’s fantastic for us
Love my Qrevo pro. My mvp. Lmao Got it at Home Depot + 3 year warranty. Cashed in a lot of the Amex credits for Home Depot gift cards.
I went from a qrevo pro, to the eufy e25. The 20,000 pa suction and roller cleaning mop are what sold me. It has been a disaster from day 1. I’ll start with the good
Pros: quiet. This robot is so quiet, I don’t have to even turn up the tv when it’s on full blast
\-no tangle brushes. I have three golden retrievers, and a dirt backyard. Never tangles.
\-obstacle avoidance. This thing is great at avoiding wires
Cons:
\-navigation. Holy smokes this thing sucks. It doesn’t seem to ever know where it’s going. It’s lines are sloppy and disorganized
\-the mopping really isn’t much better than spin mops, and it can’t reach into corners.
\-vacuuming. I don’t know if my dogs shed too much, but it doesn’t even collect the hair anymore, it just rolls the hair into clumps and leaves them behind (I clean it regularly and replace the filter)
\-it can’t climb over anything.
\-maintaining it is a bitch.
I really miss my roborock after getting this. I was looking forward to the s2, but this robot has damped my enthusiasm
- Technology for robovacs are early stage and none of them can consistently do what marketing and paid reviewers say they do.
- Paying more than USD 700 for a robot vacuum is ridiculous.
- Best one was Roborock Q Revo Pro, balanced between performance and budget
- Brands pay influencers a really high fee and it’s resulted in a massive disconnect between what paid affiliates say vs real users. Calls out vacuum wars (and other paid reviewers) for ranking ecovacs x9 pro number 1 for so long. Calls out the brand and paid affiliates as a scam like practice.
- Most of the tech (roller mops etc) right now are gimmicky as they cause more human intervention and needs further reiteration. And they charge above 1k for it.
- People’s expectations are inflated due to reviews and marketing strategies, and most of the models can’t live up to it (without them having defects in the first place)
These were the ones I retained (paraphrasing some of the stuff he said, of course)
I just received it yesterday. So far so good but I have not fully tested it yet. I will say that the most important feature for me is the anti tangle features (i have two dogs and pet hair jamming the roller was my biggest issue with the Q Revo Pro), and so far its really good at that, the double roller works awsome. I will need to use it for at least a week to give a good review on it.
It's only been a couple days but I can already say that this thing rocks. The dual roller is awsome, zero tangle, not pet hair dog hair left behind. The mop is also very good, I noticed a great improvement over my previous vaccum. I'm also very satisfied with its capacity to clear obstacles. My Revo was always getting stock on a chair in the living room that has U shaped legs, this one jumps over it no problem.
My biggest suprise and my favorite feature is how quiet it is compared to my Q Revo. The vaccum on standard power is quiet enough to watch TV no problem, and when it's just mopping you can't hear it at all (I though it was jammed somewhere because I couldn't hear it but it was doing it's thing without problem, just super quiet).
Only downside (which isn't actually a problem) is I think the battery life is a bit shorter than my Revo. I did a big cleanup with all settings to the max (full vaccum at max suction followed by mopping at max temperature with heavy water use) and it needed to recharge before finishing the job. It needed maybe 10 more minutes to finish the job on one go. That being said, on "regular" settings, it does everything in one go with better performance than my Q Revo at max settings, so again, battery life is not an issue for my place, but for a bigger house it might be.
For a sub 1000$ vaccum it is a no brainer, it punches above its weight and it fixes all the issues I had with Roborock. So I'd say go for it!
I have the Q Revo Pro. Pretty great at what it does. It was my second robot vaccum.
My only complaint is that since I have 2 dogs, it picks up a tons of dog hair and it will get stuck around the roller. So I have to manually cut hair around the roller every one to two weeks which sucks.
My Eufy L60 has a hair cutter in its charging base which cleans all the hair stuck around the roller. Might not be as big of a deal for you but personally, i'll make sure my next robot vaccum will have something to prevent dog hair getting stuck in the roller.

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
