Roborock - Qrevo 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 have the Roborock Qrevo pro. I can tell you that it cleans my 900 sq/ft first floor, hardwood and area area rug perfectly. I have a 35 lbs dog. Every morning, 99% of dirt/hair is vacuumed and hardwood is washed. 10/10, would recommend.

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.

We have had a roborock for 6 years not. Just upgraded to the qrevo pro for the mopping feature. I don’t think they’re BIFL but 10000000% the best thing I’ve ever purchased. I recommend everyone I know to get one because it saves so much time/effort/sanity.

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

I personally went with one of the models without an RGB camera specifically for this reason. I have a QRevo Pro and it does everything the other options with cameras can do. 

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?

Love my Qrevo pro. My mvp. Lmao Got it at Home Depot + 3 year warranty. Cashed in a lot of the Amex credits for Home Depot gift cards. 

Aw man I got the Qrevo Pro. Hopefully it has the ability to support Matter and comes later in an update.

These model names are really horrible.... Which one is the best price/performance one nowadays? It was QRevo Pro when I bought it last year. Which one of these newer ones are almost identical or better for about the same price?

I have a Roborock Qrevo Pro. Love it. Does require you keep things picked up and needs a few minutes of attention per day, filling/draining water tanks, unsticking it from under the couch, unjamming socks, changing the mop heads, etc, But nothing compared to the time it saves.

I am between the Saros 10R and Narwhal Flow. It’s a really hard choice.  I had the Mova Z60 and am returning it. It was loud and had terrible battery life.  My favorite was the older Roborock MaxV 7 ultra. It just worked. My Qrevo pro worked ok but would get stuck a lot. 

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.

We had a Roomba S9 plus, which was a great vacuum! We have two golden retrievers that shed heavily, and the Roomba handled it with ease. However, as years went on, it developed constant software issues, which finally was its end. We replaced it with a Roborock Q Revo Pro, it doesn’t stand a chance against my dogs. The roller is constantly requiring maintenance, and the vacuum port is too small to allow the dust bin to fully be emptied into the bag, it is constantly clogged. (Like the one pictured above.) We have found that the mop really just spreads the dirt around and isn’t really effective in its ability to actually clean the tile. It has a setting where you control how frequently it returns to the base to wash its mop pads which we have set to its most frequent setting. We purchased additional pads to be able to wash and replace them frequently. Over time we notice our tile and grout getting darker and darker from the ineffective vacuum and the mop just spreading it around. It has been a big disappointment!

thank you for the advice! I ended up buying the qrevo pro, which is like the qrevo master, but it has 1 roller instead of two. but it does look like it has a bigger dustbin. i bought it, thinking ill just see if it cleans well and if not ill return it to target. so far, so good, have ran it a few times, the house is so much cleaner! and the automations work!

I can always return it and get the master! Right now the pro is vacuuming everything up. are you saying that long term it will not be as reliable? i am totally open to changing, but i was able to get the pro on sale for $600.

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.

Roborock QRevo Pro ($650 I think). Love it. We have two dogs, one which sheds a lot (Shiba Inu) and we have it vacuum twice a day. Mop twice a week. It is very much worth it in my opinion.

Highly no recommend Roborock. I have the Qrevo Pro and couldn’t be happier.

I recently decided to get the Roborock QRevo Pro. People generally seem very happy with the quality of cleaning, navigating obstructive objects, and the tangle-less brush. I only have one dog and mostly wood floors so mopping is my priority but the S series has a more powerful vacuum function which would be good for your 10 pets. How does one even acquire 10 pets though?

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

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

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

After daily vacuuming then mopping, my hardwood floors became notably softer and had a shine. I’d recommend robots with roller mops or spinning mops. For roller mop robots, I’d recommend the eufy S1 (Pro), eufy E25/E28, MOVA Z50 Ultra, and the Narwal Flow. All of these robots except for the eufy E25/E28 will have good obstacle avoidance. For spinning mop robots, I’d recommend dreame/MOVA robots with the AceClean/jetspray dryboard, the Narwal Freo line with an all in one base station, the roborock qrevo line. If obstacle avoidance is important, I’d consider the Dreame L40S Pro Ultra, L/X50 Ultra and the Narwal Z/Z10 Ultra.

Bigger dustbin + good use of dustbin when it comes to fur (no empty space should be in the dustbin when fur clogs it) + frequent autoemptying = better for dealing with hair and fur. For a vacuum only model, the roborock Q5 Max+ and the Q8 Max+ have a sizeable dustbin and uses the dustbin space well and has an autoempty station. The dual rollers help with fur pickup. In the US Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra fulfills these requirements as a combo model. So does the MOVA V50 Ultra for Canadian customers. The QRevo series has the same issue with some dreame models where the dustbin will be clogged with fur but there’ll be a lot of empty space on the sides. It’ll be good for picking up fur on carpets with its dual brushes but I think the eufy X8 should be better for dealing with finer dust.

What region (usually country) are you in? The offerings and their respective prices greatly vary by region. Generally: The Mainland Chinese market has the greatest variety and choices of robot vacuums. Even Narwal has a bigger lineup there. The mainland US (not so sure about Hawaii and Alaska as I’ve heard logistical issues there) will have the second greatest variety and the most choices outside mainland China. This market generally gets discounts first. If you are in the US, you can definitely consider the refurbished dreame models as these deliver the most bang for your buck. I have heard that the quality of these aren’t very consistent and that it’ll be better to get the official dreame 2 year warranty to deal with this possible issue instead of Allstate’s 2 year warranty as it seems that Allstate believes a regular vacuum shop can inspect and repair robot vacuums. I think that dreame will have the smartest omakase system with the refurbished X40 Ultra ([799 USD](https://www.ebay.com/itm/356133310411?itmmeta=01JAGC96GKTKN9AHJB1GK3MPMB&hash=item52eb330fcb:g:wlkAAOSwC5xmwwbp)). It can use its camera to detect stuff like kitty litter and larger debris like the wood chips your adorable chinchilla likes to throw and will accordingly increase its suction to do so. In my experience, the TriCut brush has worked great with my long haired corgi’s fur and long hair in my home and the side brush does not tangle hair at all. Unfortunately, it seems Dreame’s customer support has negative to mixed reviews. You could also consider the roborock Q Revo Pro! Roborock’s app seems to be rather solid and their customer service receives mixed to positive reviews. I’ve experienced this too when I asked about the availability of roborock in my region on the weekend. One replied to me very quickly and helpfully on the next business day. When I sent a follow up email, I received Google translated slop….

https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/saugroboter/ Narwal robots and Roborock’s spinning mop robots have the easiest to clean mop washboard as they’re completely removable (the autoempty Narwal models have a disposable dustbin attachment to avoid cleaning it but I find that rather wasteful). The roborock base qrevo is already a pretty good robot as it’s pretty tangle resistant with an all rubber main brush. Roborock’s generally vacuum better than the Narwal but the Narwal has an antitangle conical rubber and bristle brush that works great with the smoothest obstacle avoidance for camera enabled models with the best smart clean mode. As for models, the narwal’s Freo Z ultra is at 549 euros. However it’s very water hungry and requires constant water tank refilling and emptying. This should be the most cost effective choice if you are mainly concerned with ease of maintenance.

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.

QV35S if vacuuming is your priority. Qrevo Pro if mopping is your priority. If you have mostly hard floor, or maybe some uncomplicated short piled carpet as well, I'd propose the Pro for better mopping. If you have large carpet area with a bit longer pile, or if you have shedding pets with lots of hair or long hair, I'd probably choose the QV.

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.

Roborock Qrevo Pro is my champ. Integration with home assistant is great and the performance has been terrific.

I love our Roborock Q Revo Pro, which has all the features you request. I have the integration set-up in HA, but frankly don't see any advantages of running it through HA vs just using the application. The Roborock application has scheduling built-in and I cannot really think of useful automations I want/need to interact with the vacuum.

QRevo and QRevo Pro. Three dogs, 1 cat. One of the dogs is a Great Pyrenees, and the shedding is remarkable. My robots run several times a day, and always VACUUM first and empty often, then mop. My single rollers do get tangled, but it's not a big deal to deal with them.

Yeah carpet will kill it quick. I have a Q Revo Pro

Yeah just a single roller. I occasionally get some tangles, but only enough to warrant detangling maybe once a month. Not much at all, and that’s with 3 pets

It just doesn’t tangle much because the Q Revo Pro roller is full rubber and doesn’t have the brush. Does an excellent job picking up hair on the tile

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

I returned my second Eufy X10 and I really think that machine has design flaws which cannot be fixed with software updates. I liked the customer service though, they were excellent in arranging a refund. I moved to a mid-segment in Roborock (Qrevo Pro), since I had a positive experience with an older robot before. The app and the cleaning performance is much better than Eufy. For example there is has an option to vacuum carpets first and then start mopping, or a real DND mode (Eufy ignores DND and resumes a task after charging. It only skips auto-emptying). The app also has almost no bugs, unlike Eufy’s buggy app. However, Roborock’s customer service is not known to be very good and its object avoidance is worse than Dreame. Narwhal Freo Z has good object avoidance, but Freo X lacks auto emptying. Both Dreame and Narwhal have bad customer services per user comments. If you are in the US, I would get a Roborock or Narwhal from Costco unless the model you want is not available. I got Qrevo Pro from Amazon for $650 during Prime Day sale, but Costco doesn’t sale this model. They have Qrevo MaxV, but that is much more expensive. They sell Freo Z, but that is also very expensive.

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.

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!

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

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.

No obstacle avoidance system will ever be 100%. It’s your job to scan your floors before your routines initiate and make sure the robot can handle what it’s about to clean. It’s a minor trade off IMO to have an amazing experience having perfectly clean floors. If that’s too much to ask, then manually cleaning your floors is your only other option. Side note: i love my Qrevo pro!

Roomba’s are garbage. You may as well save a trip to the store and just leave 500 dollars in your closet, because otherwise that’s where your roomba will live unused 24/7. Everyone i know who has one never uses them. That being said, i think my Roborock Qrevo Pro is an awesome purchase close to your range. It was 650 when i bought it over the new year. You could get a base model qrevo for around 500 i think. The roborock software is really nice, and makes vacuuming/mopping a nearly perfect fuss free experience. Parts are easy and cheap to change out when needed. Vacuum/mopping robots seem expensive at first, but the amount of time they save you makes them completely worth it. Don’t try to cheap out on the wrong model, make sure whichever one you end up with has a good user experience.

Roborock Qrevo pro is fantastic.

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.

Go for qrevo pro. Just bought it. Worth the money

I use roborock qrevo pro, it works well

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.

So an unknown brand just came out with a fairly pedestrian robot with stationary-pad mopping, and it has a higher rating than some of the highest-regarded robots on the market? Nope. If you really need mopping on a budget, take a look at the Dreame D10+, Eufy L60 Hybrid, or one of the Roborock Q series robots. For a big improvement in mopping for not much more money, look at the Eufy C20 or Dreame L10s Ultra series. Mova can be good, if they've solved their problem with fragile front wheels. If you don't care about mopping, look at the Eufy L60 SES or SwitchBot K10+.

If you want to pick it up at the store, I'd stick to Roborock. At least at the store near me, there are two options, both of which should do well. The more expensive one I see (the Qrevo Pro) will be better for mopping, while the other (the QR 598) is a vacuum with an add-on mop that won't work as well. If you're fine with online ordering and shipping, the Dreame E30 looks like a good deal as well. The Dyson will be the best vacuum of all of them (surprise), but it's not a great robot. Pretty much any of the Roborocks would be good, as would the Eufy E28 if you also need a spot cleaner.

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

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.

Looooove our roborock q revo pro

Qrevo pro on the 25th.

$599

Yes, I just purchased it with 10% additional discount

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.

2 cats .. same size appartment, 1 large carpet in livingroom and unter dining table in another room. the rest is wooden floor and tiles. the robo is doing an amazing job and it has never been as clean (mostly dust from open windows) as it is now. roborock qrevo pro ist doing a full mop and clean every day (mo-fr) at 06:30am. but .. i am walking in every room before, checking for toys, vommit, shit and piss. only had 1 toy problem but you'll never know and better save than sorry. the main work with the vacuum is the weekly (or bi weekly) water tank and the cleaning of sensors and filter. not a very big deal and way more relaxing than cleaning all of the rooms by myself. i still vacuum the whole apt once a month with a dyson. still enough to be found. but mostly my own hair .. i would never let the roborock run fully on it's own, unsupervised, to vac and mop, if there is a chance that one of the cats had an accident and shat on the floor .. no matter carpet oder wood .. the qrevo would be beyond repair, no matter what anyone says, i would throw it out immediately. my mom is fully on fire since she saw my roborock but can't make sure to maintain the machine. water, cleaning, sensors .. so we need to think about it.

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 returned the eufy q20 and got qrevo pro , miles ahead better. The qrevo app is so much better too and mapping it’s a breeze plus no one says this : the eufy cant go through a multiple floor home by itself ! You have to carry the dock to each floor so the robot can return an get mops washed . The q debo you have no issues because it holds an internal water supply and will ask to be returned if needed not possible with eufy which will go into Vacuum only mode if dock is not in same map / area

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!

\+1 here for the Qrevo Pro

Yeah I guess so, I gave my mom an old roomba and she has 3 cats and even then I think she’s only had hers run thru vomit once lmao, it’s an old one no sensors I own the Q revo pro, and an shark self empty in my basement idk the exact model

q rwvo pro has no light so my solution is complicated, I got home automation setup where whenever what room my robot is currently cleaning it it just turns my lights on for that room

> 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

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’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

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 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

There’s no $1000 bot that can save me either. lol. The iRobot j7+ handled the hair okay ish but had issues with navigation. The QRevo Pro had done extremely well with the hair but the bot is defective & Roborock told me to kick rocks the 2nd time it had sensor issues in the first 8 months. I just need help with the maintenance in between manual vacuuming. 😂

Heyyy, I actually didn't buy it yet cause work. But, I did decide to go with the Pro. The Pa thing is mostly bullshit and there's likely no big relation between higher Pa and better cleaning. And the Pro has the arm thing, which I think might be useful with chairs, tables and whatsoever. Since the difference is not so large and I plan to keep for many years, I'll go with the Pro.

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.

You have to keep stuff off the floors for them to work properly. The obstacle avoidance tech isn't 100% consistent at avoiding small objects so it'll get caught a lot if you don't. I have a roborock qrevo pro and love it but I have to be sure my floors are clear before I go to bed and it runs in the morning.

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

We had it narrowed down to a Roborock qrevo pro and a dreame L10 to replace an aging S5 as well, and opted to go with the Roborock due to familiarity with the app, which was a dream from day one with the old vacuum. That and the dreame has a full on camera, which combined with AI makes it excellent at obstacle avoidance compared to the qrevo, but I’m not super comfortable having a camera on a robot in my home, especially with one of the features being that you could use it as a roving camera to check on pets. That didn’t sit right with me, and I wasn’t going to go through the effort of separating it from the cloud with whatever the program is that allows that. It made more sense to buy a vacuum without a full camera on the front of it. All that being said, we’ve had the Roborock for a week, and it’s an absolute dream. Does decent on carpet, great on hardwood floors, and the mop function, while not perfect, does do a pretty stellar job for daily cleaning.

That makes sense. I didn’t see that in my research, but I was also trying to hit a price point. The flexi arm mop in the qrevo is for sure a game changer, I just wish it had the same function on the brush for the vacuum like the dreame. I think the newer dreame was just at a price point I couldn’t justify, plus the familiarity with the app and the mixed reviews I’d read about the dreame app swayed us to stay with Roborock. I was really close to getting the dreame though for sure. From what I’ve researched they’re both good options. Good luck with your choice!

I bought the Roborock Qrevo VMAX for 500€ in Germany (on a sale) it works perfect with carpets and the tiles floor in my bath. But on the tiled floor it was a bit loud so I ordered the "silent front wheel" with axle on eBay which made it more silent and I ordered the Roborock q5 brush on AliExpress because it is a bit better picking up cat hair on carpets. And I don't use vacuuming and mopping at the same time, I just made two programs where it vacuums every 2-3 days and than let it mop on 1 day per week after the vacuum is finished - this keeps the robot in good shape and prevents liquids to get inside and cloaking with cat hair. On the first day you should let it clean every room alone first, since it might get cloaked from cat hair on the first road trip through your flat, after that you should be able to let it clean all rooms in one run, if you let it clean regularly. With my two cats 3 days is max and after that the robot will get cloaked from to much cat hair. So most robots should work, but I don't suggest dreame or mova since they often have problems with carpets. Get a good Roborock model and maybe make the add-ons

Get the Roborock QR 798 or Q10 PF/VF or its + variant if you want an automatic empty station included. I'm in Southeast Asia, too! I have had a Q7 TF (similar to Q10 without a vibrating mop and obstacle avoidance) for three weeks, and I love it. I mainly use it to clean hard floors and low-pile rugs. - Q10 has two versions PF (lifting mop) and VF (vibrating mop similar to S8 Max and Saros 10). The + variants included the auto-empty station. - QR 798 is similar to QRevo S but slightly cheaper at least in my country 🇮🇩 - Xiaomi X20+ quite similar to Dreame L10 series and cheaper than QR 798 and L10 (in 🇮🇩). It already has obstacle avoidance features, but unlike Roborock Q7TF and Q10 PF/VF, it doesn't have an anti-hair tangle feature. - Xiaomi X 20 Max - Dreame L10s Ultra gen 2 All these robots use structured light sensors for obstacle avoidance. Unlike the AI camera sensor, it performs less than the latter. Structured light performs worse in detecting very small objects or objects on a high pile and carpet with complex patterns.

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.

what do you mean? As in they can do them, but terribly, or physically cant do corners? The MaxV has the mop flexiarm, the curve and the qrevo ultra has the side brush and mop flexiarm.

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. 

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

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.

No it's a Roborock. It looks like the model I have. They're awesome- self-cleaning, self-emptying, LiDAR room mapping, completely customizable routines.

It's a Roborock. Very similar to the model I have- Quervo Series

I use the original Qrevo. Just check the differences and see what fits best with your use.

Not really. I let it run because I have a dog that sheds permanently. The hairs get taken pretty well and also the mopping works nicely. Normally I vacuum and mop in one go. Once every 2 weeks I let it make a thorough run of 2 vacuum runs and 2 mopping runs. No problems at all, still running the original parts, nothing got replaced. I clean the robot every 2 weeks. My girlfriend has long curly hairs and they tangle up. Cleaning takes maybe 5 minutes for the corner spinner and the rotating brush. If it helps you: I'm looking into a second robot vacuum for the upper floor where I have a combination of carpet and wooden floors and didn't decide which one it will be, but it will be a Roborock.

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.

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). 

We have a q revo and it’s great

Q revo. Which.... give the stats table might not make sense, but its the most reliable of the three, which i've tested.

I have a Q Revo and it does an ok job but yeah it's not up to the level of a mop, or even a hard floor cleaner. And these things are also ridiculously expensive to buy the latest and greatest. It does a fine job running daily to keep the floors clean, cleaner than just a vacuum. But I have a very drooly dog that leaves spots on the floor and it won't scrub those up, I have to break out a floor cleaner for that. It does better than my old roomba though, it almost never gets caught on or tangled in anything and mostly drives around any obstacles fine. Was it worth it? Probably not for the price I paid. Right now though you can get a Q Revo for $479 which I think would be worth it. So I maybe might advise buying the last gen at a discount rather than the latest and greatest and still plan on having to manually clean from time to time. Really depends on your needs of course, if you are a clean person living alone then you might rarely have spots that the robot won't get.

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

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

I bought the Dreame X40 Ultra. Same features, but cheaper. I also own a Q Revo and a Dreame L10S Ultra. The Q Revo has had a lot of issues in the year I've owned it. The L10S is still going strong, so the X40 was the obvious choice for me.

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.

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.

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 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.

Hey all! I'd like to formally introduce myself. My name is Justin, and I'm a Robot Vacuum tester at RTINGS. I've tested 30+ robot vacuums since my career started here, and have learned so much from research, testing, and this Subreddit specifically. Some of you might have seen me on here making some personal recommendations in some of the posts in this Subreddit, but Prime Day is a great time to provide some insight on making a decision, since the market is currently overwhelming. **These recommendations are based on products we've bought and tested ourselves**, since we do not accept review or sample units from manufacturers. **I also wanted to disclose that we do make money from affiliate links and ads on our website**, so I will not be providing any links to our reviews. **First step** is to not panic. Figure out the needs of your space, your expectations, and your budget. Write them down and try to narrow it down to maximum 2-3 options. **General expectations** for all robots based on what I've seen and my personal opinion/experience: * **They will not replace your regular vacuum and mop for deep cleaning**, but they will extend the time between your deep cleanings. * **Obstacle avoidance is not that big of a deal if you don't have kids or pets.** Tidy up loose objects on the floor, tuck away cables, and set no-go zones, and you'll usually be good to go. * **You likely don't need to run it everywhere, every day.** Consider your needs and strategize. Use manual configurations, schedules, and spot cleanings over the built-in AI systems to tailor it to your needs. * **They usually always get hair stuck somewhere, especially long hair.** I have yet to meet a robot that has not gotten hair stuck with our standard 2.5g of long hair. That being said, some are better at it than others. * **The maintenance for the mops/water tanks is very frequent**, but saves more time overall. The general maintenance is usually quick overall, though. * **Recurring costs are generally higher and more frequent than regular vacuums.** You can try third party options for brush rollers, but we usually don't test that. * **Even premium models usually have seal problems** **and do not filter as well as standard vacuums with better HEPA/S-Class Filters.** If you have allergies, most of the robots will shoot allergens back up into the air. Consider an air purifier if you really want one. (The Levoit Vital 200s is great and on sale too) * **Advertised suction is usually not helpful or representative of pickup performance**. The Roborock S7 Max V is a great example of a robot with low advertised suction (5100 Pa) that still remains competitive in hard floor pickup performance to this day. * **Be vigilant of defects, especially on new models.** Brands are pumping out models faster than we can think. In my opinions, there are bound to be quality issues. If you see something wrong, exchange it or go with an older model that has proven reliability. * **Sales will come back. Often. Black friday is right around the corner.** Don't impulse buy just cause of a big sales event. **Dreame L10s Ultra/Pro Ultra ($299 USD/$479 CAD - $399USD/$499CAD) - Best Introduction Robot for Small Spaces** with mostly hard floor. * Decent hard floor performance, fully featured dock, great obstacle avoidance, decent mopping, upgradeable for carpets with the Tri-Cut Brush. * Mid battery-life, cold water and cold air drying (pro version adds heat), have seen complaints of poor customer service from Dreame. Uncertain about long term reliability. * At this price, you really can't go wrong if you just want something to help with day to day cleaning. **Roborock Qrevo Series ($399 USD/$549 CAD)** \- **Best Budget for hard floors** * Great hard floor pickup and navigation. Mid-on carpets. Bad at removing pet hair from carpets. * Awful obstacle avoidance. Decent Mopping * Roborock seems to have a better reputation for reliability. (Based on comments in this Subreddit) **Roborock S8 Max V ($1099USD/$1199CAD)** \- **Best For Carpet and Pet Hair** * Good all around pickup, excels on carpet thanks to its dual rollers. Corner coverage. * Expect hair tangles in the edges of the brush rollers. * Mid mopping performance, so you might have to manually clean hard stains. * Decent Obstacle avoidance, but not the best. * Older flagship. **Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni** (**$799 USD/ $1199CAD) - Best Mopping** (Not published yet on our website, but we've tested it) * Great hard floor pickup, decent carpet pickup. Okay, at removing pet hair from carpets. * Okay obstacle avoidance on hard floor, bad on carpet. * Excellent mopping. * Unsure of Ecovacs reliability and app experience, as I've seen complaints on this Subreddit before. * Currently borrowing this model, and I'm really impressed with it. I have not experienced any dock leaking, but this is something that I've seen brought up for other roller mop models. **Roborock Saros 10R ($1199USD) - Best overall for most people** * Excellent hard floor cleaning. Decent carpet cleaning. Struggles with pet hair on carpet. Good for mopping. * Excellent hard floor obstacle avoidance, bad carpet obstacle avoidance. * Excellent maneuverability. Slim body allows it to get underneath furniture as low as 3.1" (8 cm). Can also climb thresholds up to 1.5" (3.8cm) in our tests. * Not available in Canada. **Popular Models I'd avoid, but doesn't mean they wouldn't be the best option for you:** * **Dreame X50 Ultra:** It's dual rollers struggle with hard floor pickup more than the dual rollers on the S8 Max V. I also borrowed it for a month to test it in my home, and it would leave clumps of debris everywhere, especially near thresholds. This is based on our testing and my subjective opinion, but it was a miss for me. * **Dreame L40 Ultra:** Controversial, I know, but I was also underwhelmed with its hard floor pickup performance, especially with finer debris. It's decent for carpet, though, and might perform better with the Tri-cut brush. It also scored worse in obstacle avoidance than the Dreame L10s Ultra, which is bizarre since it released 2 years after it. This is another model I borrowed, and was not satisfied with it's cleaning performance in my mostly hard floor apartment. * **Eufy x10 Pro Omni:** It was one of the vacuums I had the most trouble testing due to navigation issues and app issues. Its pickup performance was also pretty poor on carpet, and just okay on hard floor. * **Dyson VisNav 360:** Great potential, but flawed execution and use of old tech make it a bad purchase in my opinion. This thing packed a punch and was excellent at picking up stuff it went over, but the problem was it would frequently miss areas and get lost/confused. * **Shark robot vacuums:** Some of them are good for pickup, but their built quality, navigation issues, and bare-bones app makes question their value. Honorable mentions: * **MOVA P10 Pro:** Best obstacle avoidance in our test out of every single model. Good hard floor pickup, mid carpet pickup, okay mopping. Comments in this Subreddit have mentioned MOVA's manufacturing quality and customer service are question. We had to return our first unit because the dock was non-functional, but the second unit works well. Let me know if you have any questions about my recommendations, and hope this helps out! Edit: I will only be responding while I'm at work, so expect a delay of 24hr for a response. Also added 2 expectations.

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.

Object detection, specifically the smallest. I have cat toys that hang around everywhere and regularly my Q Revo blocks on it. Having to put them away before launching the robot and the only reason why I don't start it without my presence.

https://preview.redd.it/2w2l7dxj1jnf1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=88941129b262c818832df678b4a605fc485c3212 This is the worst nightmare for my Q Revo.

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 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!!

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.

A robovac, especially if it mops, is going to need more maintenance than a regular vacuum. How often do you or your spouse go over there? How much stuff do your p-I-ls leave laying around on the ground? Do they seem interested? Have you shown them videos? Even with a base station that cleans the mop pads, you still need to launder them as well as fill the clean water tank, empty the dirty one, and check the base dust bag. You also need to check and clean the vacuum itself once a month or so for hair or debris. It’s kind of like owning a less annoying pet. I really like my Roborock Q Revos. They’ve been super reliable.

TLDR: this sounds like a giant pain and very inconvenient, but you could do it. Most brands on technically support 1 home. But roborocks support up to 4 floors, I think so you could have each house be a different floor. Honestly, before committing to driving your vacuum all around try just having one to share between your floors. These things work best as “set it and forget it”. I ended up getting a refurb Q5 for my basement because over time it was less hassle than remembering to move my Q Revo from the first floor to the basement to run it. Additionally, you will vacuum more if you just set a schedule and have it run automatically.

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.

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.

Xiaomi X10+ / Dreame L10Ultra is great, it has everything. Dreame L10 Prime is probably the cheapest I have used, less features and for mopping it was OK. Roborock revos are great but usually costly. Roidmi Eva was pretty dumb robot avoid that.

Dang. I have the regular Roborock Qrevo from 2023 and it doesn't look like it will get it.

Hopefully they will include it. I'm not going to buy a whole new one if they don't, but it would be a shame if they don't support it since it's not very old.

Our Roborock Qrevo vacuum/mop is still going strong after years and the pet hair don't faze it at all. I only ever heard bad things about iRobot and Shark

Don't spend $1000 on one, go for one around $350-$400 with an auto emptying dock. Roborock is my favorite. You'll get 99% the same features and function as the $1k one, and if you like it then you can get a second one and still be under $1k!

We have a Roborock that is about 2-3 years old now. QRevo 1st gen. Works great and keeps the hair/fur down to a minimum.

I have a robo vacuum(roborock qvero) which runs 2 times a week. Additionally I have a light weight cordless vacuum to cover delta between those days. It stays pretty clean with above effort.

If you do compare feature on vacum wars web site You can see which has matter Recommend a robo rock qrevo for auto mation Eco vac t50 pro Omni is $600 n does matter n has mop n vac but I dint like the navigation so went back to robo rock qrevo s5a But robo rock is more $. Bout $850 You get what you pay for

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.

Also owning an OG QRevo. The mop cleaning is noisy enough through doors and we have a decent difference in floor height between rooms that always takes it a few attempts to lift itself over. Not mentioning emptying the bin at the end of a cycle. It’s a decent machine. Will continue to use it till it breaks down permanently (wasn’t an inexpensive purchase for us).

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/)

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.

Ik zat lang te twijfelen tussen de Dreame L10s Ultra en de Roborock Q-revo. Uiteindelijk ben ik voor de Roborock gegaan omdat deze technisch toch wat beter is. Hij is wat duurder maar hij heeft zichzelf inmiddels al dubbel en dwars terugverdiend.

Any guesses on MSRP for the Z1? I have 2 acres and probably 1.4 acres of it to mow. I have a 60" commerical Exmark mower but I'm getting more sick of mowing by the year and yard companies want $200/week to do it, so that is a hard pass. I already have two Roborock vacs (S7 Max Ultra and Q-Revo) and have been fairly happy with them, so this would be a nice addition if the price isn't like Yarbo's pricing structure.

I’m a year in and don’t know what I’d do if you took away the Q-Revo’s mopping

Hát jah, az alap modellek (amik mondjuk már vannak annyira jók, hogy van benne térkép meg ilyenek, 100-200k közöttiek) nem igazán felmosnak, inkább feltörölnek egy nedves ronggyal De van Roborocknak is olyan ami kicsit jobban fel tud mosni, pl. Roborock Q-Revo, annak ugye az állomásában van extra víz aztán úgy cserélgetni meg mittomén. De az 300-400k között mozog Nekem csak egy sima S5 van már vagy 5 éve, abban csak ilyen béna nedves rongy szerű feltörlő van, nem is használom. De amúgy imádom, jó cucc

Second this. Is it under $500 though? I paid $1200 when it was new...

Sheesh, I got robbed lmao I love mine though, so no complaints

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.

This won’t be any help to find what you’re looking for, but I just want to push back on your requirements. Auto mop washing is probably one of the most worthwhile features of any robot mop. The whole point is frequency of cleaning due to convenience, and manually removing and washing pads takes the automation right out of it. I would say, with you worrying about something going wrong with the auto washing system: the rotating mops have been so successful compared to vibrating partially because the washing system is so simple. Since the pads rotate on the robot itself, the dock doesn’t need moving parts to clean the mop. The pads simple rotate quickly on what is basically a fixed washboard and the dirty water is sucked out. Way simpler and therefore cheaper, hardly anything to break. Secondly, as far as bags go. Bagless in any form of vacuum is practically a gimmick. You always need something for air to flow through, and if you don’t have a bag, then you have a filter to clean or replace. And they tend to be much much messier to do so, and then the machines don’t last either because the dust gets everywhere inside the machine. If you don’t have pets, bags last a long time. It’s just my opinion but I think you’re really unnecessarily limiting yourself for nonissues. There’s a reason these features have become basically the standard, they work well and work reliably. If I were you I’d get one of the Roborock revos or similar and call it a day, it will be a much better experience overall. I had a Revo and then a MaxV and was happy with both.

I use my Roborock Revo a great deal. I vacuum twice as much as the mop function.

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

+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.

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.

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.

Hmm. I have. Q Revo OG and am pretty happy, but am being tempted by the Q Revo EdgeC. It sounds great but your comment has made me worried.

Depends on your flooring and needs If carpets - Roborock - best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock (most newer models) If hardwood and no pets (Read not an inordinate amount of vacuuming) - Eufy S1 Pro - Best mopping hands down along with pretty good vacuuming

Ich sehe das ein wenig anders als die meisten Kommentare: kein Staubsaugerroboter zu besitzen ist schlimm. Irgendeinen Staubsaugerroboter zu nutzen sind 80%. Hauptsache ist, der Roboter lässt sich programmieren, findet seine Ladestation und läuft regelmäßig. Teurere Modelle zu kaufen schließt dann irgendwann die Lücke, die man ab und an noch selber saugen muss, je weiter man an 100% will, umso mehr kostet es im Zweifel. Ich hatte schon verschiedenste Modelle, habe im Keller einen Chaosrobo, im Erdgeschoss einen Roborock mit Absaugstation und oben einen Eufy. Eufy wäre mein Preis-/Leistungstipp.

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

I saw recommendations for the Roborock vacuums. Having used it for 2 days, it's been solid, and the new Q-series does seem to work well with the native homeassistant plugin.

Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.

We have two shedding dogs and we love our Roborocks. The first one, while it was fantastic filled kinda quickly (not their fault, our dogs shed A LOT) so it was a minor inconvenience to empty it halfway through it's cleaning 2700sqft. My brother became disabled so I gave him that one for his apartment. He loves it and his helper can empty it and help him with harder care items so it saves him money (he was initially being charged an hour every day for vacuuming, now he's not). The second one I got was self emptying so it can continue all by itself and I really appreciate it. I only have to empty the main basin once a week and that's it. Super convenient and does a fantastic job cleaning. I used to vacuum at least twice a day to stay on top of the hair. Now I do a "deep" vacuum once a week- baseboards, under carpets, etc. Roborock gave me hours of my life back and that's not an exaggeration.

Get a self emptying Roborock one. Roombas are crap that are basically all about their name now. You will have to clean the fur out of some spots on it at times, but if you run it every day it will keep most of it out of the way.

I have an expensive roborock and it's great. It's the self emptying one, was like $1k on sale last year. Wait till November/Black Friday sale and they are 30-50% off regular price. Can definitely find a good one within your budget

I bought a barely used self-emptying Roborock on Facebook marketplace a few months ago and it is hands down one of the best purchases/decisions I’ve ever made. One dog and a cat and I was losing my mind trying to keep up with my floors.

For the price (£250) I am very impressed with mine. Its got LiDAR, a mop, empties itself, etc. Its really neat to watch on the app as it goes about your house and maps it out. Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle. Definitely does not replace vacuuming as a whole though as it just cant physically get into the corners, and the vacuum itself isnt enough to really suck stuff out of the carpet, more just pick up things on top. I treat it more like a broom than anything else, but having a pet it helps me keep on top of things.

I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
