Roborock - Qrevo Pro

I have the Q Revo Pro and it does an incredible job

We just got the Roborock Qrevo Pro during the Amazon sale. There are plenty of $1000+ models but I fell down a rabbit hole doing research, and the Qrevo Pro matched everything I wanted without having too many bells and whistles … and it was only $500, so I could get one for upstairs and one for downstairs. We’ve had them a few weeks and already love them. And we’ve been running them everyday with two cats and a GSD, with no dog hair entanglement issues.

Been using roborocks for a few years and they are amazing! Far better than roombas. We now have the qrevo pro and it's a game changer with the refillable tanks. We are planning to eventually get the one that you can run a water line and drain to. Check out vacuum wars on YouTube. They have very good tests and comparisons between brands.

I can't imagine not having self empty. You will absolutely love that feature. If you're sure you don't need a mop (I didn't think I needed one, but I really like it and I don't even have kids or dogs), I would look at the Roborock Q5+ duoroller or similar. I highly recommend getting a robot with lidar navigation. it works so much better than older bump and turn systems. iRobot kinda sucks these days from what I understand. You can definitely have a robot vac run in a different room while you're cleaning elsewhere. That said I think the best way to use a robot vacuum is to set it on a schedule. I have a robot on each of the two floors of my house. I have our fancier Qrevo Pro vacuum/mop the kitchen everyday and do the rest of the floor twice a week. Downstairs I have a Roborock Q7+ that vacuums the back entry way everyday and the rest of the floor twice a week

I like both of the robots, but the Qrevo Pro is more impressive and I like the mopping feature (the q7 has a mop too, but it's pretty bad-- like lightly running a wet Swiffer around). It does a much better job than I expected it to. No robot vacuum is really suited to a huge mess and they dont replace the need to pull out a real vacuum or mop once in awhile. But on the day to day they pick up a surprising amount of dust and debris

I understand that you might wonder if it’s worth it. I felt the same way but couldn’t be happier with my Roborock Q Revo Pro. I am able to clean the kitchen and bathroom floors daily. We have a Golden Retriever and not seeing the fluffs of hair that seem to show up like magic on our hard floors (laminate and tile) is so worth it. I anticipate having to get out the mop occasionally to get to those places the Roborock doesn’t but that is so much better than washing by hand. I just ordered a second one (not as fancy) for our upstairs bedroom and bath. Roborock has a 30 day return policy, as well if you don’t like it.

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.

The dreame L10S Pro Ultra Heat is really nice with long hair with the TriCut brush and the TriCut brush cover but will get hair tangled in the side brush but this is easily removable. QRevo Master will have hair stuck on sides of brush but all-rubber brushes are also pretty good at resisting tangles on the brush. I think the Q Revo Master would be better than this specific dreame model at obstacle avoidance but you’d still have to tidy up wires and what not as roborock likes to have the wires take off its mops for some reason.

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.

Qrevo Pro is the sweet spot.

Nah, the MaxV actually appeared before the Pro which was launched few months later. We can't actually say older or newer, since the lineup just has different models with varying features, but they were not launched at the same time. From entry to top of the line in ascending order: Qrevo, Qrevo S, Qrevo Pro, Qrevo MaxV, Qrevo Master. Sometimes the pricing don't exactly reflect that, and some variants are not available in ervery country. It depends on local market. But the higher model has everything the lower has, plus some extra features. Flexi mop arm and hot water washing is from Pro upwards, which I consider useful for edge cleaning and better cleaning efficiency. Camera and voice assist is from MaxV upwards, which I consider gadgets that don't make the floor cleaner.

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.

My 10 max was twice as loud as my roborock qrevo pro. 🤷‍♀️

I come from an s5max, which vacuumed, but the mop only wet the floor. The aspiration of the s8, mine is basic, only with a charging base, is infinitely better. The mop cleans the floor, not to give it a 10, but a 6, compared to the 1 for the s5max. I clean the mop with detergent every time I scrub, empty the chicken and refill the tank, it's a bit tedious, but I didn't dare to buy the complete set. The design of the s8 is for the complete game, since the water and chicken tank are very small. I'm quite happy, I spend it about three times a week and I haven't gone back to work myself. I bought another roborock for my mother, the Qrevo pro set, for about €600 and it is much better than the basic s8.

Thanks. I have a Roborock Qrevo Pro right now. It's good on rugs and ok on floors. I'm considering moving the Roborock to a level that is 90% carpet and getting the S1 Pro for a level that is all floors with one area rug. If could do it over I would have gotten a less expensive vacuum only robot for the mostly carpeted level and the S1 Pro for the level with floor.

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!)

In terms of performance for value, the Roborock Qrevos are good. I don't have experience with other brands so there may be better options. I like the Qrevo Pro for the money. The Qrevo Master has the dual roller brush which is a little better and it the arm extends to get debris out of corners better. The Qrevo Edge has more suction and the divided brush, which I believe is even better than the and it has more suction, which may not matter much. I got the Qrevo Pro for \~$550 on sale. The Edge is about twice the price right now. I would like the extra features, but not for 2x the cost. Maybe wait until the Prime day to see if they go on sale? The Mova P10 Pro Ultra looks similar to the Qrevo Master, but it has only one roller. So maybe better than the Qrevo Pro, but not as good as the Qrevo Master? It seems to be priced about the same as the Qrevo Pro. While I like the Roborock Qrevos, I would prefer to have a robot that vacuums up dirty water and cleans the mop as it goes.

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.

We have a GSD and the Robirock q Revo Pro and it's the SAME issues. Maybe they all need a German Shedder model

I’m looking forward to your Master review (if you do it)! I’ve had mine about a week now and love it. I’d say the only downside is it doesn’t have the top of the line obstacle avoidance and will plow over cords, but it still recognizes most objects very well and its vacuuming and mopping is excellent. I also found one navigation quirk that I could see most people overlooking. The carpet sensor will sometimes miss sections of carpet/rugs, and if you have the option “Vacuum Carpets First” turned on it’ll attempt to clean around all those missing sections of carpet, then fill them in last, and this can lead to doubling the cleaning time. But once it properly recognizes and maps carpets it’s very efficient. These screenshots better show what I mean. The first cleaning took about 34min and the second identical cleaning (with carpet fixed) took 17min. https://preview.redd.it/dty8lbh45ped1.jpeg?width=1936&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4db0a17d5318484e1780b02a3790cdae4d0f7e73

I have the Qrevo Master as well and love it, but that’s pushing her budget (even at its lowest price it was $1100 before taxes). Look into the Qrevo Pro, which is $800 on Amazon after applying a $200 coupon. The Pro gets her an extending mop pad to better clean edges, a better dock, and a little more suction compared to the regular Qrevo. Id say don’t go for the regular Qrevo though, if not the Master or the Pro, get the Qrevo S. It has slightly better specs and is a littler cheaper (Roborocks lineup is super confusing). There’s some debate over the rotating mops being better than the vibrating sonic mops, but I think most people like the rotating style better.

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.

There is no robot with perfect obstacle avoidance, it’s technically impossible to ever get this right as there is very little difference between something small enough to vacuum up, and something that can jam a robot. Companies should stop marketing their robots as such. It’s your responsibility as a robot owner to scan your room before you start the routine. I have a qrevo pro and toddlers just like you. It takes me about a minute to scan my floors for rings, cords, other small plastic toys, then I don’t have any issues.

Roborock Qrevo pro is fantastic.

I have the Roborock Q Revolution Master and also the Pro. They have these features and are good machines.

I use roborock qrevo pro, it works well

It's a louder vaccuming robot, but I find it cleaning the carpets much better than the roborock qrev pro. The navigation takes some time to improve and learn the layout of my home. Self-emptying is very loud and sounds like a big fart..twice.. once when it starts and another one when it funishes.. Cleaning/drying of the mop pad takes hours to finish and also very noisy. I like that it makes a bigger effort in terms of climbing over legs of furnitures to get to the crooks and nannies as much as possible. However, it can also scratch and dent them more over time. I dont have delicate/fragile/expensive furnitures so that is not an issue to me. What i really wish it has is seeing where my roomba is at in the app. I guess it's another shortcoming of lacking lidar. Comptemplating to return it...

I was the other user that has had a bad experience, but perhaps it is just my furniture design/house design! The Mova is a really premium feeling unit and the app is really not as hard as people say it is IMO..... but it is also true that some of the functions straight up did not work when I set it up... like vacuum first then mop. It vacuumed and then mopped the carpet even though I could see hash marks where there was carpet detected. When I first ran it on auto map/then do the first cleaning it also mopped my carpets. The roborock automatically and without any fiddling did everything perfectly on its own. My Mova may be defective. If I dont end up keeping the roborock I will probably get a replacement and post a update. The roborock qrevo pro just works 100% of the time with no issues other than a chair I have with thin flat support bar it gets stuck on so it is temping to just keep the qrevo pro and return everything else.

I got the QrevoPro from Target on a deal day this week--for reference, $400 off the list price of $999. Nice set of features without going to the $1500 range. So far I like it, though I'm upgrading from possibly the dumbest, blindest robovac on the planet. It's nice to not have go searching for it.

Ignore what everyone wrote here. No one knows what they are talking about. What you need is a robot with cameras and flash and lidars on the front so it can avoid everything in the path. All the models listed here are wrong. What you need in my opinion is a maxV model from roborock (they are a bit more expensive but for a reason). They have one of the best avoidance system. They get discounted heavily during sales like prine day, black friday etc. MaxV is the name u want. You could get the Q revo pro or Q revo MaxV wich is a bit more than you probably would pay but it mops the floor as well and that means you can go weeks without having to mop yourself. Some dreame vacuums also perform well. Please avoid roomba and other american mainstream models, they are a decade behind (sadly) to chinese brands like roborock and dreame. Another thing: on youtube there is a huge community with all kinds of pets and kids-tests with obstacles with every model on earth so you can see it yourself what will work for you

I had the Roborock Qrevo Pro and it vacuumed well and emptied itself. I ended up taking it back because, though vacuuming is part of the priority, the main priority is mopping for me. The Roborock doesn't actually pick up the mopping water, so basically just pushing around what it already mopped until it gets back to its station to clean itself. So in areas like my laundry room with tile the dirt would catch on the edges of the tile leaving a residue that made the floor looking dirtier than it was previously. I've done a bunch of research, and I will be getting a eufy with the Hydrojet system. I have 6 dogs (2 of which are Great Pyrenees), so there's LOTS of hair, but my rumba does an ok job with that when it works more than once a day. BUT the dogs also bring in icky paws at times, so I really want a robot one that cleans and sucks up its dirty water and continuing to clean with fresh water. The eufy's fit the bill. I currently have a CrossWave cordless max wet dry vac, which cleans with fresh water and vacuuming up the dirty water, and though it's not a robot it provides the type of clean floors that I'm looking for in a robot vac as well. The eufy was the only one that I saw that operated in this way.

I have noticed the q revo master obstacle avoidance is good but it’s awful on carpets.

Oh I had it, it’s even worse. Try testing out its avoidance with almost anything, especially on carpets.

If you don’t have pets, the pro is definitely the best for the price.

I love my Roborock Q Revo Pro for our two pitbulls hair and mopping footprints on rainy days. Right now there's $200 off on Amazon.

I got the Pro. Awesome so far. extended mop works well against the wall and around furniture legs and such. I would recommend.

I would still recommend. I run it 5x a week and haven't had any issues with it. Easy to maintain just need to clean the tray weekly (pops out easy) and fill and empty the water tanks. You do need to be mindful of soft objects that can get tangled under the bot like small sock or cable so I do a quick scope around the house before I leave

Between Eufy and Roborock I would go with Roborock; I dont have the qrevo curve [https://amzn.to/45aV6Z4](https://amzn.to/45aV6Z4) but I have the Qrevo Pro; except the size of it I love everything else: [https://amzn.to/3ZbZ67X](https://amzn.to/3ZbZ67X) When i bought it if I had the option I would have go for curve too as it would be sleeker. So Why I am saying Roborock is 1) Easy App especially with higher models they make sure they update; this is my 2nd roborock and the 1st one lasted 5 years. 2) Spare parts are relatively easy to get as many other companies make them and I remember getting some in bulk for my previous roborock and planning to do the same Example, here are some spare part options: [https://amzn.to/44yg583](https://amzn.to/44yg583) So in short; I would choose Roborock; it has been working well for me and long lasting and good maintenance wise

I had linked the Roborock qrevo: [https://amzn.to/4jZ2wCU](https://amzn.to/4jZ2wCU) ; try the link now it may work depending on your location. I like it for its parts and as I mentioned I clean every 2-3 days only Qrevo is getting great reviews too and I am considering it for the size and suction power: [https://amzn.to/42ZmAyb](https://amzn.to/42ZmAyb)

Here are some of the Roborock recommendations, I have a pet too that gets dirt from our garden and we stay in a wet climate so you can image! 1) Roborock S8 MaxV : [https://amzn.to/3Z0n45V](https://amzn.to/3Z0n45V) ; great especially if you dont have carpet and will use the mop (which is my case at the ground floor with pets). Just a note this one is bulky so make sure you have room 2) Roborock Qrevo Pro: [https://amzn.to/43jNP84](https://amzn.to/43jNP84) I loved this one and gifted to my parents as they wanted some edge cleaning and have some parts as carpets but work great on harder floors too 3) Qrevo curve: Havent tried myself but hearing great great reviews and honestly seems like my next purchase as I like its size also has very high suction so great for pet hair and small dirt particles: [https://amzn.to/437WNUF](https://amzn.to/437WNUF)

Hello! I have posted this before.. but I am a dog owner as well and here is my tested recommendation So I have 2 dogs, both shed a lot and get a lot of mud from our yard and generally where I live is quite rainy so all after the rain the dogs do get the floor dirty Because of this I absolutely needed a mop and of course vaccum for hair and carpet as well. I use Roborock (https://amzn.to/48YmUPv) and have been quite satisfied. By the time I clean them after their mud fiasco the roborock is able to mop off mud and wet dirt off the floor. I can also just clean a small area that has dirt and get the robovac to the dock again and all this with the app which is super helpful. Tried and tested for pets: I had linked the Roborock qrevo: [https://amzn.to/4jZ2wCU](https://amzn.to/4jZ2wCU) ; . I like it for its parts and as I mentioned I clean every 2-3 days only Qrevo is great too and I have seen it work pretty well! [https://amzn.to/42ZmAyb](https://amzn.to/42ZmAyb) I also block some high wire areas in the app so I am guessing you can do so for your carpet if needed. I prefer it's self cleaning as it helps me use the mop or vacuum twice a day if needed too and then I just empty it out when full. Generally I am a heavy user and with that I empty the dock station every 3 days. I suggest roborock also because of its spare parts are generally easily available by other companies and I get them and keep in bulk. When the brush gets too tangled I just change it and it's not that big of a lift. This is my second roborock and I do stand by the brand. First one lasted me 4 years with 1 dog and I am hoping this one lasts me well too!

I have the pro and love it. Not happy paying extra for the camera on the maxv. The only issue i have is with cables. Other than that it does a good job avoiding stuff. Very happy!

Qrevo pro is a very good bang for ur buck. I got mine for $600 BNIB off FB marketplace, and it’s usually on sale at target for near that price as well

3 cats, all hardwood floors. I just got the Roborock Q Revo Pro on sale for $699. Spent about 2 weeks researching and ended up on that. Vacuum + Mop. Other than that, look into the Vacuum Wars Youtube channel if you haven’t already.

Ok, kind of similar to me then haha... You might want something with a camera for the toys, I have a Roborock QRevo Edge and I'm pretty happy with it, but it's quite recent and many features might be overkill (threshold climbing, etc). Depending on budget obviously, you might want a slimmer version, or something cheaper like the QRevo Pro which has the most useful features, but no camera. You'll probably want to move the toys a bit though as even if it avoided them, it would be cleaning less uniformly. https://global.roborock.com/pages/robot-vacuum-cleaner-compare Not sure how Israel is with current models, but many of those might be missing like in Canada, but found this comparison tool a good first step in my shopping comparison within their models. Not an expert in other companies, but others might have ideas and experiences. :)

I have it. I like it. It’s also my first Roborock though. Can get a bit loud when mopping/vacuuming. Doesn’t bother me though. It’s a bit loud when it goes thru tile vertical floors. Because of the way the shape is( when it drives horizontal) this gets fixed when you change the settings in the app. (But still a bit loud) Other than that, dudes running daily. 2 times a day.

Yeah there are for sure a lot of models and features to keep up with for these robots, especially considering a flagship model last year was $1800 with worse features than a basic $350 model today. Vacuums wars certainly gives every match the best review but it seemingly forgets ownership so I take his reviews with a grain of salt. RTINGS seems to have an opposite issue but I still value their objective measurements. Overall id say stick with roborock or dreame. Roborock has the nicest app and experience, while dreame (imo) is the best for mopping despite its app being a little tacky and poorly translated. At that price point I'd try and go for the roborock q revo pro. It has advanced mopping features like hot water & turbidity sensor and the mop leggy but doesn't have expensive features like a lifting main brush or camera obstacle avoidance. The other great option is the dreame l10s ultra pro. It also has hot water, turbidity sensor, and a mop leggy, but also has a camera avoidance system, which is... Okay in my experience. Not as good as the more expensive robots. If you don't need advanced obstacle avoidance or advanced vacuum features (leaving mops behind, dual roller, lifting roller) then I'd get one of those two. I personally own a dreame l10s ultra (and trialed it against a roborock q revo, which didn't work as well in my mopping situations). There are other minor differences between the two but they're able to be overcome. Dreame also has an excellent hair cutting roller brush available for their cheaper robots. Both brands sell their 1st part accessories on AliExpress for far cheaper than Amazon. Good luck & enjoy.

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 just got a Roborock Qrevo Pro on sale ($600 down from $1100). It vacuums, mops, self empties, and self cleans the mop pads all on its own. I can't understate how nice it is to have vacuumed, mopped floors when I wake up every day. If you look at reviews, it's supposedly not the best at picking up dog hair but it's been great for me and I have no complaints.

I had a RoboRock Q Revo Pro that was really quite and a Narwal Z that’s also not very loud.

I have actually owned one for years, it’s better at vacuuming than the Roborock qrevo pro that’s for sure. I can’t replace the shark with the Roborock for vacuuming and the Roborock eats more cords and cat toys.

I have had the Q Revo Pro for a few days. It is my first robot vacuum. It is amazing. My first floor is mainly tile or vinyl flooring. My house looks clean all the time now. I have 3 big dogs who just ignore the robot. When I vacuum or sweep, my dogs will come "out of the woodwork" just to sit in front of me. I highly recommend the device just on this point alone. The mapping was a little overwhelming at first but I mastered it and it easily will clean the house while I am off doing something else. The noise is not bad at all. I can work in my office while it is cleaning the floor which surprised me. I will never live without a robot vacuum after this. What the heck was I waiting for??? I can highly recommend the Roborock Q Revo Pro.

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

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.

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!

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.

Here is my review of the S8 MaxV Ultra. https://youtu.be/CmWjtQRcG4s You should compare that to the Qrevo Master if you want corner cleaning ability with the swing out side brush. I have not reviewed that one just yet.

The Master has the same object avoidance as the MaxV which is not the best for sure. I think your issue with the carpet recognition will solve itself in time as long as you are not moving rugs around. I have the Master and soon will begin testing it. With me starting to branch out into robot mowers I have found myself getting behind in my vacuum videos a bit.

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.

Qrevo Master by far, multi pet children heavy traffic household here

Hello, my recommendation is the QRevo Master which is more than what you want to spend, but if you wait for a sale I paid around 1000.00 dollars on prime sale. It is everything you want and you will love it. Feel free to ask any questions. In my opinion the spinning mops are the best for uneven floors

The Qrevo Master is fantastic!

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 never had an S7 max ultra, but Ido have an S 8 Pro ultra and a couple of models of QRevo… I have 3 golden retriever, 4 cats and 4 kids. In my opinion I would return it and get the QRevo Master instead if your main concern is pet hair, just because it has 10,000 pa, double roller, self cleaning dock and extending brush and mop, or the Qrevo S, no double roller but 7000 pa has also made a difference. The technology of the Qrevo is newer in my opinion, easier dock to clean. Feel free to ask any questions

Love the master! Have had all the other ones and this one made a big difference. I have 3 golden retrievers, 4 cats, 4 kids. The Q Revo Master has taken it all.

You’re absolutely correct… I am just head over heels in love with the Q master lol! Can’t wait for your review of it!!

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!

I'm on my 4th Roborock The S4 Max. Q5 Pro, Q8 Max and Qrevo Pro which all have lidar navigation and none has ever failed. I watch these forums closely and have notg seen anybody complaining about lidar failure. The top cover of the lidar navigation is actually a button that gets pressed down if a vacuum tries going under someplace where it won't fit such as a couch. Narwal is fairly new to the scene and I have not used their vacuums. I know one thing that I don't like about them is the vacuums don't have on board water tank so if you want to take it to a different floor to mop all you have is the moisture that is on the mop, no tank to replenish the water.

The q revo master has been doing pretty well at avoiding cables. Sometimes the mop gets stuck and the mount comes off but a lot less than my s7. Vacuum wars on YouTube also rated it the highest for avoidance with AI and its cameras

Unfortunately, I don't think the Q Revo Master is available in Oz yet (Aussie myself - Brisbane). Q Revo MaxV is though.

How good is RoboRock about returned goods? My Q Revo Master is also crumbling due to thin cheep plastic shell and limp wristed plastic water feeder tubes that keep loosening. It’s turning into a zip tied Frankenstein monster…

Just bought the Q Revo Master for $950. Feels like an absolute steal in terms of value. At this price, give me the Master over the S8 MaxV all day long.

This is my first. My wife and I have struggled finding the time to vacuum and mop the house and especially now that we just had our first baby and she’s starting to crawl, it’s even more important. This will help keep our floors clean and save us time.

I have the dreame ultra heat and the q revo master, the ultra heat sounds and works a lot better than the q revo master, the only win with the q revo is the extendable arm… its not worth the extra money… the app with the dreame ultra heat is amazing aswell.

yeah you're right hair tangling isn't much of an issue even when i hand-held vacuum, just hair clogging and lots of lumps... matter-enabled is an IoT standard, but it's not a deal breaker, it means, in the future, i'll be able to control the vacuum using Apple HomeKit (dreame, roborock all support this standard). aha, yeah i keep hearing good things about this qrevo mop, and tracking in dirt is an issue for me (but also all this hair since there's 2 of them).. i'll add one vote to the **Q Revo Master** thanks!!

yep seen your mopping comment, it's one of the reasons I'm leaning towards the qrevo master. nah my dogs are trained, no turds, but there're pet toys all around the house. i'll check out his channel, thanks for the link! i've usually just watched vacuum wars.

Have a look at the Q Revo Master. I just picked one up on prime day at a discount but still think it’s a very good robot at the regular price. Lots of flagship features and the spinning mops (which I prefer).

It’s definitely a very interesting proposition price-wise vs the s8 max ultra. My experience so far has been nothing but excellent. It has a slightly inferior object avoidance system (never been an issue for me) and a lower mop rise (10mm vs 20mm) which again has been non issue with my rug set-up.

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

Some is better than nothing at all. Their MaxV models have the strongest object avoidance, and benefit the most from updates as well. I recommend watching the latest VacuumWars video on the Q Revo Master, and he actually apologizes because he originally said the Q Revi max v wasn't worth it due to the bad object avoidance. However he learned there was an update, and after that it was a night and day difference. It's no different to any other computer, first couple months or so are always the toughest. After an update or two they are significantly better.

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?

UPDATE: Thanks for all of your great comments. After (more or less) confirming that the Q Revo MaxV and the Q Revo Master have the very similar hardware, and that they both use "Reactive AI," I could not find any logical reason why the Q Revo Master would be so much better than the Q Revo MaxV at Obstacle Avoidance (10 to 4 in our tests) So... I decided to update the firmware on my Q Revo MaxV, as it has been a few months since I tested it (the firmware was updated from version 02.30.38 to 02.33.02). The results were amazing. The Q Revo MaxV got 8, not as good as the master but WAY better than the previous test. It changes a lot in terms of how I rank the latest Roborocks, Ill do a video on it soon.

Please head this advice. The master will crap the bed and you will be out of a return window

You won’t get honest answers from this sub it it terrible and you should get the x40 I am biased because I’ve actually owned a master for 6 months

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

That’s the experience. I recommended buying an x40 ultra from Dreame (basically same company, but longer time making robots) and finally being satisfied with your robot. This will be downvoted so whatever. My experience with the master is the same as yours

Roborock is trash at obstacle avoidance go with Dreame, have had a q revo master. Roborocks plan is to flood the market Dreame focuses on making their products better. Dreame x40 ultra has been the best purchase of my life. Got it on eBay refurbed for 699$ on black friday

I got the Master Qrevo and a Saint Bernese with ultra long hair. We got just 1-2 single hairs in the brush as it got a knife installed that cuts the tangled hairs from time to time. Mopping is superior! Heard the Tricut brush from Dreame isn’t the best. Newest option would be the Roborock Curve with the 2 Splittes brushes maybe. But the master got good discount these days because of the IFA fair.

I’ve just got the qrevo master and it has issues with shag pile like this , I think the ai believe it’s an object to avoid so it spins, Ive turned the camera on and it sees long strands so I’m assuming it thinks it’s an obstacle, with avoidance off it actually works , but it still struggles and you can see it get stuck a lot and tug itself free, The side brush gets stuck sometimes too, honestly I love my big fluffy rugs but if I want a robot I’m going to have to replace with shorter piled ones.

I live with 3 girls with long hair, 3 cats and a Bernese mountain dog so I can relate with this 100%. I have to maintain the robot regularly, releasing hairs from the main roller and extending brush weekly. The time I spend maintaining it is a lot less than what I’d spend vacuuming and cleaning so it’s no big deal. 5 minutes a week is nothing. I do wish the small wheel was removable so I could clean it and free it of hair instead of cutting in and around it but beyond that it’s all good (QRevo master)

My QRevo master is so stupid with object avoidance. My Dreame L40 navigates like a tweaker looking for copper though.. no logic to it

I was watching just a dad with his dreame x40 ultra app and with that robot you can designate ramps on the map. While I had my qrevo master I never saw any settings like that in their app.

Agreed. Qrevo Master's obstacle avoidance is absolute trash. It may as well not exist at all. I had Narwal Freo Z Ultra before this and I kind of regret returning that and getting this. The only thing I hated about the Narwal was not having an onboard water tank and not having extending floor sweeping arm, but obstacle avoidance on it was top notch. Never got stuck on anything. Qrevo is so dumb in comparison. Even if it detects something, it will still push it around because it has no clue where the obstacle exactly is. Having to get all the cords, objects off the ground is no different to what I was doing when I was using 1st gen xiaomi robot vac. I ran the vacuum this morning after I left and made sure to clean up everything from the floor but somehow this damn thing got something stuck in its main brush. Seriously frustrated with this product.

I bought the QRevo Master for $950 this morning. But I’m easily satisfied with even a basic robot’s vacuuming abilities. I wanted a good mop and obstacle avoidance(kids).

Great to hear! Any tips for the initial mapping? First time having a mapping vac. If I move furniture will it realize and vacuum in the newly opened up spot?

Agreed. I’ve not been impressed with the obstacle avoidance on small items/objects. But I have nothing to compare it to. My previous vacuum was a roomba that didn’t even have wifi. It’s weird though. I watched my QRevo Master correctly identify a baby bib on the floor as an obstacle. It marked it on the map and went around it. I was impressed. But then on another pass it turned toward the bib while it was already close to it and I guess it was too low for the camera to see so it removed the obstacle from the map and went right over it. I hope it gets better with firmware updates.

The Master is great, just got it recently! Might snag another for upstairs. Enjoy not having to clean as much manually, lol

Not entirely sure tbh, I didn't do any kind of dedicated or no-go zones - I just let it loose and move anything out of the way that I think may be a problem or that I simply want to clear the floor so it cleans that area (shoes, a cable, etc.). I'd assume that even if something is mapped, it still runs detection and will clean the area that is now 'clear' but used to be 'occupied'.

I’ve had my qrevo master for a week so far from an expert. I upgraded from an e4 and the obstacle avoidance seems to be the same. It’s grabbed cables from walls and keeps assaulting my guitar stand for some reason. Never missed a dog toy or something sitting in the middle of the floor though.

Did it get fixed after the recent update? I got my qrevo master yesterday and flexy arm worked when i first mapped and cleaned at the same time but hasn’t worked since. I turned on the lab feature after the first map and clean and also for some reason there are two settings for flexy arm and they say the same thing?

Yes,it is. It creates strange patterns when it recognises obstacles where there are actually none, existing ones are ignored. Just freed my Qrevo Master again from a cord. Can't just start the robo and leave,75% chance he'll find something to get stuck

I have the master on wooden floor, gets entangled by cables or cat toys under the sofa 3 out of four cleaning runs

QRevo Curv is the #1 vacuum on Vacuum Wars right now. Was recently on sale and will probably go on sale again for Black Friday. Mine has been great since I got it a couple weeks ago. If you want a less expensive option the QRevo Master is very similar for a few hundred less.

Same one here. Super happy with it. I had no idea how dirty our floors were. They looked clean. We dusted and mopped. We had a Shark IQ. We thought they were clean. But nope. They were gross. For the first 2 weeks the waste water from the Roborock looked like thick mud. Now it's just mildly cloudy. Our floors look way different. Like they had just been honed (that's a thing you do now and again with stone floors - don't ask - its a horrific procedure).

The mob flexi arm always works but the sweeping thingy is lacking behind… I have a Qrevo master and MaxV and the master only uses his brush when cleaning an outer wall

I got Master like 3 weeks ago and its perfect for me. I have chairs with small aluminium legs and my old Dreame L10 Pro didnt notice them and he was bumping like idiot into them. I have hard floors and it avoids every dog toy and sends you a pic of it on your phone. Mopping is also amazing. So far, im very pleased.

I used it for a few weeks and it was really great! I returned it and bought the QRevo Master and the performance is very similar. The mop doesn’t lift as high which could be an issue depending on rugs/carpets in your home. The object avoidance has been roughly the same as well, no issues aside from one cord and even the s8 maxv had an issue with it as well. Vacuuming/mopping is excellent on both models with no noticeable difference. Both were able to complete my torture tests with 100% efficiency 😂

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)

Master.

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 bought an X40 refurb from Dreame's eBay store for 799. It was literally brand new, as they said someone returned it unopened, which has usually been the case with others on this forum. But the important thing is that with kids, my house is constantly messy: a bunch of socks here and there, jackets on the floor, shoes at random places, under the couches, and in general chaos. But with Dreame x40, I just set it and forget about it; I never had to unclog/unblock it, and my floors feel nice. One thing I am learning is that with excellent obstacle avoidance comes great responsibility - Onion peels in the kitchen can get misrecognized as dog poop, so there is that versus going over it. My earlier Roborock Master, every run I had to unclog a sock or a lace or a cable. It was just frustrating.

For what it worth, I can tell you I just bought the qrevo master and I'm super happy with it for now. I have 2 cats and my wife and I have long hair, so, lots of hair everywhere! It work really well and hair do not tangle on the brushes BUT they do tangle at each ends of the brushes. They've put 4 tiny razor blades there to avoid this, bit it doesn't seems to work. Or maybe the purpose of these blades is to avoid that too much hair get stuck there, but still leave some...I dunno. But beside this, it's really great so far

I love my Qrevo Master. My only complaint so far is that I can't program it to empty its onboard dust bin often enough. I end up having to set separate tasks for each room to force it to empty between each one.

For others arriving late, we got the Qrevo Master to wrangle the hair from our two golden retrievers. It does great on the hard floors, but leaves small clumps of hair on the fuzzy mid-height area rugs we have (as FairneasDoctrine11 mentioned above). Our best guess is that the hair is hanging up on the mop heads, then getting pulled off them when Rocky starts on the rug. So we have to vacuum those after Rocky finishes, which kinda defeats the purpose of a robot vacuum! It's definitely keeping our house cleaner with less effort overall, but that includes our manual labor. 😩

I have had to improvise two ramps in my home for our S8s. It was easy to do and they even look pretty good. If you are creative, this will not be a problem. The shape of your apartment will not make a difference. Both moving around your house and mopping consume very little battery power. The single biggest power requirement is vacuuming. I always tell anyone who asks me what to get to start with a basic, charging dock only S8 for $350 and learn how it works and how to use it to your advantage. Then get something fancier later on. You will be very glad you have the S8 when you buy a fancy one from any manufacturer and find out how mediocre they are at vacuuming. Then, like our own Saros 10R, the fancy one will be relegated to mopping only while the S8 (in our case, two of them) does all the vacuuming. A happy balance between the S8 and the Saros 10R is the Qrevo Master. This does not apply to any other Qrevo model!!!!!!!!! It is not as fully automated as the Saros 10R, but it is still fairly automated and has the rear spinning mops. And it is the only Qrevo model that retains the vacuuming module of the S8 for excellent vacuuming. My neighbor bought one and she loves it! If I wanted to buy another robovac right now, it would be the Qrevo Master. I wish I would have known about it when I bought our Saros 10R. It would fit our needs much better and costs $700 less than the Saros 10R. I hope this helps! One more thought... All the manufacturers and review sites test their robovacs with cereal, coffee grounds and other household items loosely sprinkled on various surfaces. This stuff is easy to pick up. The real test is if you leave this stuff on the ground for half of a week and let it get well trampled into your rugs and carpets. Then test the robovacs!!! This is the real world testing I use in our home with very heavy foot traffic, people with long hair, cats, a litter box and constant dirt and debris being tracked through our home.

We have a pair of base model S8s ($350 each) with only charging docks, and a Saros 10R ($1500). I can easily live without my Saros 10R. Losing an S8 would be tragic! The 10R is very impressive and very automated in every area except vacuuming on rugs and carpets. It is a mediocre vacuum cleaner at best. It does not vacuum any better than a cheap Home Depot off-the-shelf model. The S8s are vacuuming monsters on rugs and carpets. Our house gets lots of foot traffic, there are people with long hair and two cats and a litter box. Everything gets trampled into the rugs and carpets. The S8s were life changers. The Saros 10R has become a very fancy and expensive mop. If you only have hard floors, almost anything will work and do a decent job. This gives you much more flexibility. I would recommend a compromise since you might end up with carpets. The Qrevo Master ($800) offers the spinning mops of more modern and fancier models. It has a very automated but not super automated dock that does most things but not all of them. More importantly, it keeps the dual roller vacuum module of the S8s for excellent vacuuming. The down side is that you will have to spend about two minutes doing some very easy maintenance on it occasionally. It also does not have the extending side mops and it isn't as slim at a Saros. I really wish I would have purchased a Qrevo Master over our Saros 10R. Our neighbor has one and it is fantastic. It would have served my needs much better than the Saros 10R and I could have saved $700. Expectations are the biggest issues new robovac owners have to overcome. For $1500 we want a miracle! No robovac can do everything, none of them are perfect, and there are no miracles. A $350 robovac will change your life completely. The extra $1150 will just get you a little bit more. But a fancier, automated robovac will not necessarily clean better. All robovacs can do is handle about 90% of your floor cleaning needs. They cannot do everything no matter how fancy and how expensive they are. But 90% is a lot and you will be amazed at the results! There is also a learning curve. One has to learn how to use them for their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. Because of all of this, I always suggest people start with a $350 model. They are truly amazing! Save the $1150 for the next robovac once more improvements have been made in a year or two and you know how to use one and what to expect. All robovacs, no matter how fancy and how expensive, are very primitive machines. They look and feel complex. But they just are not. Lastly, the only reason to consider the fancy new navigation systems is if there might be pet waste in your home. If a robovac cannot avoid this mess, it will become a disaster. Lidar navigation is really good. The fancier, newer systems are very slightly better at obstacle avoidance, but they are not perfect either. Lidar works great and is very, very reliable. Unless you have to worry about pet waste or similar messes, there is no reason to even consider a navigation system beyond lidar. There is no additional benefit. I hope this helps!

Pascal suction numbers are meaningless marketing hype. The ability to create a vacuum does not move debris into the dustbin, airflow does. The rollers kick up debris, and airflow moves it through the vacuum channel into the dustbin. No manufacturer provides information on airflow. If vacuuming ability is one of the most important features of a robovac for you, especially on rugs and carpets, avoid any models that use the modern and very popular split single auto detangling rollers. They do not kick up debris as well as the older style rubber solid single or double counter rotating rollers. And they do not provide good airflow like the older style rollers and vacuuming modules do. This is the case with all robovacs with split single auto detangling rollers made by any manufacturer. The more features that get added to a robovac, and the thinner it gets, the more sacrifices have to be made. What looses out is vacuuming ability. Our Saros 10R is an amazing machine, but it is a mediocre vacuum cleaner at best. Everything else about it is fantastic, and it mops well too! There are now two kinds of docks. There are ones that connect to your plumbing and ones that don't. They each only function in one way. You cannot use the kind of dock that connects to your plumbing without connecting it to your plumbing. And you cannot connect a standalone dock to your plumbing. If you want a very cool machine that mops well but sucks at vacuuming, get a Saros or other similar robovac from another manufacturer. Your friends will be impressed but your home will remain dirty. If you want a good robovac that vacuums very, very well, mops as well as the Saros 10R, but isn't quite as fancy (it is still pretty darn fancy!) and will require about two minutes of maintenance per week, check out a Qrevo Master. You will be very pleased with it and save at least $700. While you are shopping around, make sure you get at least one spare air filter for whatever model you choose. Use two of them in rotation. Every week, remove the dirty one from the robovac's dustbin and rinse it under hot tap water. Sometimes a small nylon brush with bristles that are not too stiff but also not too soft helps. Set your wet air filter aside to dry for at least 48 hours. Install a clean, completely dry air filter back into the dustbin, put the robovac on the ground and press the home button (it has a little house shaped symbol on it). Then the robovac will automatically return to its dock. The following week you reverse the two air filters again. I hope this helps! Good luck with your choice!

Same story. Replaced j8+ (costco's version) with qrevo master when moved into hard-floored place and needed mopping feature. I immediately noticed how bad obstacle avoidance is on the master compared to j8. iRobot was a no-brainer in this part. No prep is needed. Just hit the button and it vacuums everything and avoids every small item like a phone cable or a sock. No idea how the heck it has such good reviews on Youtube.

I bought a Qrevo Master and I’ll never go back. It is so useful. Saves us so much time and our floors have never been cleaner.

Same thing happened with me on the dirty water! I used to think that I only wanted a realllllly good vacuum from a robot vacuum. When I got the Qrevo Master, I found out that the mopping feature helps pick up dirt and debris that the vacuum missed which made the floors cleaner than a vacuum only robot. That might seem straight forward, but I just wasn’t anticipating the mopping feature to make that big of a deal in terms of getting the floors clean. I was so wrong.

Just bought the Qrevo master and so far it looks good, but its only in use for a month now

I just posted this on another roborock thread, but: I have the Master and it gets fucking stuck on everything. Kids matchbox cars? Sucks em right up. Wife's socks? Gobble gobble. Electronic cords? Nom nom nom. It's still a great 2 in 1 but I will agree that obstacle avoidance on this thing blows. It's no better than my 2010 iRobot Vacs

Master uses rotating pads the S8 vibrating. Obstacles avoidance on master uses camera but no 3D laser, on max 3D laser but no RGB camera. I would bet even like this it’s better on the max you can check video reviews for q Revo maxv which uses the same system as master. Dock on master is easier to clean. That’s about it

Almost all roborocks can get over 18mm. I have qrevo master and its doing fine

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. 

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

+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
