Roborock - Qrevo S

Thanks! Right after I got the email, Amazon brought a box. My husband got us a new roborock that also mops. I guess when the Samsung comes back, it's been downgraded to the upstairs vacuum since upstairs is all carpet.

Mop mop is home! It already got stuck in the upstairs banister while mapping, but at least hasn't complained about the brush yet. The paperwork they sent with it also had something about not letting it get wet, I forget the exact wording. So that might just be a standard thing they include with repairs. So far the roborock is working good downstairs. it's the qrevo s. It takes forever to clean, but it was half the price of the Samsung, cleans it's own mop pads and seems to do better on carpet, at least with the battery life. It even goes back to the base and cleans the mop pads in the middle of cleaning the hard floors. The main con right now is I'm so used to the smart things app that navigating the roborock one is difficult. I have the hardest time finding where I can just tell it to clean certain rooms.

I will! It just got done mapping, haven't gotten it completely set up yet. So far I can say it's a lot lower than the jet bot, so it fit under more furniture, and the battery seems amazing, it only used 3% to map. I noticed the carpeted rooms really drain the jet bot's battery fast.

HA integrations is pretty good. This is my tablet view for my Q Revo. https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/1foheid/this_is_so_much_better_than_using_the_roborock_app/

Roborock q revo. It's a beast

I've never experience that, many it's because I don't have pets

Qrevo and qrevo pro are awesome!

At the end i bought the Qrevo S and I'm very satisfied with it. I can't really make a comparison with the others one but as for now it works and cleans pretty well.

We have a Flat Coated Retriever - for those who don't know, that's a big fella who sheds a tonne of long (4 inch plus) fur (as the old saying goes - retrievers shed twice a year - once in the summer for 6 months and once in the winter for 6 months). For a long time I thought a robo-vac could never handle it. Finally decided to try one (a Roborock Q Revo) about a year ago. I was wrong, it's great. The main trick to it is never to let the fur buildup to the point that it gets clogged. I run ours 2 or 3 times a day through the whole downstairs (almost all hard floor), & only need to do a quick de-tangle of the brush once or twice a week. The one caveat is that it isn't as effective on carpet, but if you're all hard floor you should be grand. The mopping is good too. Put it this way - if it broke tomorrow I'd have no hesitation buying another one (or whatever the newer version is).

I can attest to the same amazing mopping performance as OP, and I upgraded to the S1 Pro from a Q Revo as well. My Q Revo was set to do daily vac/mopping runs of my kitchen with a double pass, max water usage, and frequent mop washing (with Roborock detergent). To test its mopping vs. the S1 I let it do a triple pass cleaning of my kitchen with fresh mop pads, then I had the S1 Pro a double pass of my kitchen afterwards. When I emptied the water from the S1 Pro it literally was almost black, even darker than in OP's picture. I was mind blown. Before I even emptied the dirty tank I could already feel the difference when walking barefoot. The Q Revo made the floors feel mostly clean, but the S1 makes them feel immaculate like there's truly nothing on them. Another benefit is the ozone generation totally prevents the dirty water from smelling (left it for 5 days just to see). By comparison, the dirty water in the Q Revo ALWAYS smelled nasty. If I were to rate it I'd say the Q Revo was a 6/10 at mopping and the S1 Pro is a 10/10. It's really just that good.

The Master looks great! My main issue with the Q Revo was the obstacle avoidance or lack thereof. I thought it would do fine with just the structured light sensors, but that was quickly disproven when it snagged itself on a lamp cord and pulled it off a side table, causing it to break. After that I started looking into bots that had dedicated front cameras for real obstacle avoidance and somehow found the S1 Pro. I considered the Switchbot, but early reviews from owners didn't seem so great so I decided against it. If you're happy with the Q Revo for now, I'd stick with it and wait to see what else comes out in the second half of the year. I wouldn't be surprised if more of them adopt a rolling mop system too.

I have no doubt the Q Revo will last you many more years. So long as you keep up with maintenance I'd bet it'll last as long, if not longer, than your iLife. I'll definitely revisit this thread in 6 months with some updates on how it's doing. Just set a reminder on my phone so I won't forget either!

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.

Came to say this. I have a QRevo too and I have a dog that sheds A LOT. It was the best investment I did in the recent years.

Jack Russell's are short haired? I wouldn't imagine hair tangling would be a big issue. What does "Matter Enabled" mean? >decision paralysis!! So real! 😁I hears yah. With the size of your house and tiled area, plus dogs :) I'd think mopping would be your biggest issue. I have a 100m2 house - polished wood floors, minimal carpets and my Q Revo (basic) has been a god send, floors have never looked better. I have a medium poodle/kelpie cross and he tracks in so much dirt!

We got the RoboRock Qrevo S and are loving it. Self empties into the charging station and mops. Handles various area rugs on our tile and LVP floor perfectly. It even lifts the mop heads when going on carpet. And we have a train track going around the Christmas tree right now, and it even goes over that no problem.

It is difficult to find what you need at your price point. You need a mop, good object avoidance and hair pickup due to the pets. So you kind of have to sacrifice in one area. Increase the price or reduce a feature or two. You could do without the object avoidance if you don't run a schedule and check the floors for objects every time you run the robot. Shark matrix is an old version. If you buy a Shark brand, it's mainly for being bagless. Bags are a way for these companies to hide the price of the robot, since you have to keep buying bags at $5 each. I would recommend RV2820YE if you go for shark brand due to it being the cheapest option with no bags, good object avoidance and a mop but it's a little more than what you wanted to spend. I've had a shark for a few years and it works well but I do have to clear the floors for it before running. I'm getting a AV2820S for $400 because it has better object avoidance but doesn't have the complication of a mop, the odor cartridges or the added cost of bags. You probably need a mop though. Irobot J7+ doesn't have a mop so it would leave behind mud from dogs but it has the best object detection, so it won't hit poop. That won't matter if you check your floors before running it. The Euphy L60 doesn't have a mop and the version that does, doesn't work very well unless you get the $800 version. Roborock Qrevo S is on sale now for $460 on Amazon and that's what I would get if I were you. It has good reviews, dual spinning mops, self empty base and object avoidance (though not the best). I don't like that it uses bags that run up the cost over time but maybe the cheaper off brand bags work okay? https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Qrevo-Self-Drying-Self-Emptying-Refilling/dp/B0CTZXJTGJ?tag=vwads3-20&th=1

Roborock q revo has been great for us. Though I know there are upgraded models now

Roborock q revo. Don't try to make sense of their 20+ models, you'll just give yourself a headache. Whatever you get, make sure it has lidar. And Roomba is a garbage brand now.

Personally would go with the X30. The Qrevo S has super basic object avoidance, and even the Roborocks with advanced avoidance can easily get stuck. Dreame tends to do really well for hard floors and has some of the best object avoidance. The software is a bit less polished but the clean tends to be better imo. Is the Mova P10 Pro Ultra available in Canada? MOVA is a Dreame subsidiary and that vacuum is basically identical to the Dreame X40 (but for $600 USD).

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

I have a Roborock Q Revo (vacs, mops, self empties) and it's fucking amazing.

Roborock Qrevo. Alsolutely love it.

Robot vacuums have really come a long way even in recent years. Lidar + Structured light or AI cameras make them great at navigation, and auto empty dust bins and mopping functions greatly improve both their autonomy and cleaning power.  I picked up a couple of Roborocks (S7 Ultra and QRevo) last black Friday and they are game changer. I used to have to rescue my 7 year old Roomba often and empty its bin every other vacuum. Now my floors are literally the cleanest they've been in years and the only time I really have to think about my vacuum is to empty/fill the water, clean the filters in the base and swap out the bag occasionally.  We have two cats and the reduction in dust and cat hair is noticeable. 

Just bought the Roborock Qrevo.

I’ve been playing with my P 10 Pro ultra for several weeks and it’s disappointing compared with the Roborocks.  The sweeper arm doesn’t do anything, it doesn’t even rotate on my robot, except in very rare conditions that I can’t predict. The bigger issue is that the paths are not as tight and overlapping.  When I look at the cleaning paths with the MOVA On the tightest setting with the max number of passes (x3) It has nowhere near the coverage of the qrevos and the carpet is not clean.  The Revos get really tight around legs while the MOVA barely tries to approach.  I think the people who think these are great robots are ones who are new to robot vacs or else have come from Roomba or some less tech -evolved brands.  My 5300 kPa Roborock qrevo outperforms this MOVA on every run, in every situation.  Trying to figure out how to send it back without having to pay shipping.

Both my Qrevos are much quieter than the p10 ultra and actually leave the carpets looking clean.

The qrevo s dual spinning mops work extremely well. Vacuum wars tests consider it to work as well if not better than many upright electric mops. I want to get it too but I'm waiting till black Friday as my currency is weaker otherwise I'll be looking at the narwal freo x plus which doesn't have self emptying but does have dirt compression bags and a tangle free brush.

I bought the Roborock Qrevo S just before christmas. I paid $1,100 AUD for it, which I balked at, but it was a christmas present for my wife and a toy for me to tinker with in Home Assistant, so it is what it is. But I like it. It has a dock that both empties the internal catcher into the dock's bigger dust bag and refills the water tank / empties out the dirty water, has a mopping function, has an auto-lift mop and carpet detection which was important for me, because I want it to do the whole house all at once, instead of needing me to carry it to the bathroom / laundry / kitchen. The internal catcher doesn't always get vacuumed out so I need to empty it manually once every week or two, I also need to remove coils of long hair from the rubber roller just as often, and it doesn't do well with avoiding cables, which is evident by it dragging my USB wifi device until the cable disconnected this afternoon, but it's good. The Home Assistant integration was really easy to set up and is amazing work by the one (?) developer who works on it, but I find myself using the Roborock app 100% of the time because it shows me the map and location of the robot (I can't seem to get the map using the HA integration?) and lets me run specific routines which I use to quickly get a vac, mop or vac & mop going. These are probably things that can be done with the HA integration if I bothered, but it's not as easy as using the app, so instead I just use HA to check for errors, see what percent it's up to, and see what it's currently doing out of idle curiosity. Other people might get more use out of it, particularly if they're big into automating stuff or getting notifications when stuff happens. So why did I buy that one specifically? There's a billion and a half robotic vacuums. Some vac only, some mop but require you to manually place it somewhere, some require you to fill water tanks manually, some have cameras, some just have LIDAR, some are HA compatible, some aren't, some have the same name but with a "+" or "pro" or whatever slapped on the end. After going insane from seeing literally a dozen spreadsheets, each with bits of information, some with stats I didn't give a rat's arse about, I narrowed it down to a cheap one (around $500), a second hand one on Facebook Marketplace ($300) and a new Qrevo S, and the Qrevo S won. It has been a game changer though. If I make a mess cooking dinner (e.g. I grated carrot tonight and some fell on the floor), I just tell the robot to do a run after dinner, and it'll happily pick up scattered kitty litter, but it just needs some minor regular maintenance so stuff doesn't get clogged up.

I'm still running a Roomba S9+ and I'm yet to find something else that can handle my specific requirements. It's carpet performance is unmatched in real world performance. I do also have a Roborock Qrevo S, which was bought to replace the S9+, but it does nothing better than the Roomba (for my use case) other than the fact it can mop. I'm holding out for the Roomba 705 Combo that's apparently dropping in the next couple of months. The 705 doesn't match the carpet performance of the S9+ but if it can do a half decent job at carpets and also mop my one room with a hard floor then I'll probably end up purchasing that.

I choose the Qrevo S because I really wanted mop lifting and a dock with self emptying and mop washing for minimal attention. I also wanted something without a camera. I’m super happy with it. The spinning mops gets my parquet really clean and nice. I was also overwhelmed by the number of options. But everyone I spoke to was really happy with their Roborocks, and when narrowing it down to a robot with dock, no camera (only LiDAR/laser/light), good mopping and under €600 there simply wasn’t a lot of options left.

Slightly over your budget, but it got the Qrevo S for €600. Mostly hardwood, two kids. Very happy about cleaning results and navigation. I like the auto empty and auto mop wash. It doesn’t auto remove hair I think, but pretty easy to get off the end of the roll. I like that it doesn’t have a camera :)

I agree with you, the normal QRevo should meet most of your needs if you can’t get the Master. You lose the camera and the extended arm but it’s a great machine!

It gets close enough, like 1 cm. Not farther than mopping plates

My Qrevo has enough obstacle avoidance to not get into truble

I personally love the double rollers, I also have kids, pets etc… the Q Revo S or the Q Revo Master have been fantastic as to vacuuming and mopping. Game changing!

In my opinion the Master covers all my necessities, pa ((10,000), double rollers, rotating mops, flexi side brush and flexi side mop, hot water mop washing and even a self cleaning dock. Mine is dedicated to kitchen, breakfast room and laundry. What attracted me to the Q Revo S was more pa (7,000) instead of 5,500 for the regular Q Revo. It does great! Feel free to ask more questions

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

Same here my wife was a bit skeptical when I got the Roborock QRevo on a sale. Seemed like another gadget. But since then she does not worry about the floors/carpet on the main level. They are always clean. In fact at times a bit slippery when you just wear socks.

I personally am a big fan of Roborock. I own two. I know there are a lot of great brands out there, but I can speak to this. The Qrevo S could be a great option for you - I see it listed for 550. It has dual rotating mops as well as a self emptying base. I think it's a great entry-level model with a lot of higher end features! I also have a referral code for 5% off, but I don't want to spam that. Feel free to reach out if you want it! And best of luck with whatever decision you go with!

Roborock Q Revo ($800 on sale) auto-empty, mopping, LiDAR, carpet beast. Roomba j7+ – pet mess avoidance genius (no mop). Ecovacs T20, hot water mopping. Avoid cheap hybrids. Stretch for S8 Pro Ultra if mopping is life.

Yep, I agree. We have both the original Qrevo and the S8 MaxV Ultra. The Qrevo dock is far easier to clean.

Same for Eufy E28... I have a bunch of Roborocks and tried the E28 in a light commerical/office setting and the mapping is pretty terrible. I can barely get it to complete a single task. I have a Roborock QRevo cleaning my 2400 sq ft completely open epoxy floor shop, and it works almost without error.

How is the mapping on Ecovacs now? I used to have a T8 and it was awful. The map would constantly get messed up and I would have to make it remap my house every week. It was awful at remapping and I would have to babysit it for hours while it did it. I ended up getting a Roborock Qrevo which has been amazing. I’ve had it a few years and never had to redo the map due to issues with the robot. The one I did have to remap was when I got it back from being serviced, and it perfectly mapped out my entire house on its own in under 30 minutes without me babysitting it. I’m mainly looking for a good mop, so I would be open to Ecovacs again if it’s actually improved now.

Roborock - the Android app is great. I checked all the app ratings before deciding on this brand. I wouldn't buy a robot vacuum with an unintuitive/buggy app. I got the Qrevo S and couldn't be happier.

I have a Roborock QRevo, and works well at handling cleaning the tile daily of fur and slobber, until we have the time and energy to do a proper mop.

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.

Out of the ones you mentioned, the L40 Ultra will be easiest to maintain with the QRevo models coming in after for their removable mopping tray. For the L40 Ultra, it can remove the mops when vacuuming the carpets. Other robots will drag the mops. For all of the models you mentioned, you’d need to buy vacuum bags for the autoempty station. Don’t worry though, the first bag will fill up fast from shedding pets but will plateau and it’ll slow down over time. It’s cheap to get from Temu/aliexpress from resellers who sell the real bags or the official mainland Chinese stores on taobao’s Tmall. Floor cleaner: roborock says using unauthorized cleaning agents will void warranty. Actually, just filling it in with a robot mop friendly cleaner that is ph neutral, low-foaming and the same thickness as water if put in the detergent tank will work just fine. I like the Bissell spinwave compatible natural multisurface cleaner which is pet safe. I add it in at a ratio for 1:30 for deep cleaning and 1:200, like the ratio the robot manufacturers recommend, for daily cleaning. Just say you used the official one when if you need to talk to customer service.

For spinning mops: Station Self cleaning: Dreame X50 Ultra > roborock Curv/Edge Saros 10R > Dreame L/X40 Ultra >≈ Ecovacs models with wipers in mop pad cleaning tray marketed as the 150 day cleaning free tray > roborock qrevo > all other dreame and ecovacs robots

Dreame’s L10S Pro Ultra Gen 2 can use the antitangle TriCut brush. It has worked perfectly for my long haired corgi that sheds so much. A small amount of fur will collect on the sides of brushes if you don’t use the correct brush cover which prevents this from happening. For the QRevo S, the all rubber brush works well at resisting tangles with fur collecting on the sides but as soon as there’s a cut on the rubber, it’ll easily tangle (same for Dreame’s all rubber brush). I think both robots have an easy to clean completely removable mop pad cleaning tray. https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/s/AgXP4k48pP There’s also the L40 Ultra at 399 in the US but not in Amazon.

We had an Ecovacs Deebot X1 Turbo and when it shat itself after just 3 months I sent it back, got a refund and bought a Q Revo S. Massive improvement. Still bits where it could improve too but this is a much better quality vac. Edit: and I was able to do the exact same integration with the zigbee scene buttons on the walls in my rooms, where anyone can press it once to summon the vac to that room, and double-press the button to cancel the request and send the vac back to base.

After my Ecovacs X1 Turbo shat itself within 3 months of buying I took it back for a refund and replaced it with a Roborock Q Revo S. Way way better and has HA support. I’ve not needed to root it or anything so far. I do wish the map management was better though. No way to delete rooms or individually remap them, and I’ve now got a bunch of no go zones all marked out around the outside of glass doors and low frame windows from where it’s seen through but can’t access.

I returned the eufo x10 within the week. Best decision ever! It was loud, made streaks, couldn't handle the corners well, didn't go beneath my cupboard (while it had enough space) and the vacuuming was so bad... Bought the roborock qrevo instead and wtf, I'm in love with this machine. It masters all the above perfectly.

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.

S7 / S8 Ultra docks have an extra complex mop washer which is not needed in a Qrevo. It tends to get messy in the dock tray and the thing is hard to clean because it's not removable. Furthermore it makes the docks expensive and thus less economical. If you can't stand your appliance being covered with residue, don't buy. The revo tech needs less maintenance.

Q5 is NOT an everyday mopper. The mop is completely passive, does no scrubbing, and you have to wash and mount/unmount it yourself all the time. I.e. cannot go over carpet while mop is attached. Really serious active mopping starts with Qrevo, which comes with a full automated washing dock and water management. Even much better than the standard S7+ was. You can make a good deal on this during Prime sales.

Q5 / Q7 / Q8 aren't real combos. They have a mop add-on for occasional use. That's cheap, has no motors and consists of a plastic plate with a cloth. Worth $20 maybe, added manufacturing cost somewhat <$5. So almost all models have these add-ons so they can be sold as "combo". Real mopping starts with scrubbing robots like S8, Q10 S5 or Qrevo.

Definitely share your thoughts. That’s a brand I’ve been considering!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It sounds like the Roborick is worthy of looking at for a replacement excluding the app. That’s great!

I would like to.. Third …. This.. I bought a “like new” Roborock Qrevo from Amazon(not pro or slim, just normal) and it’s been great. $399.00 .. So glad I did it….

Yep I got a Qrevo “like new” from Amazon a few months ago for $399. It’s good.. Mops and vacuums quite well.. Not spectacular, but a good job.. i’ll never buy a new one again. I feel like I got it at the right price.. Replenishment kit quality out there sucks though…

I have a Qrevo. Not the plus or edge or S; just Qrevo. It does a good job vacuuming, a good job mopping. I thought it would be excellent at one or the other before I got it, but it’s satisfactory. I am surprised how much maintenance it needs to stay in good running order. The mopping pad pan gets really dirty, even if all you’re doing is vacuuming.. I don’t think it does a very good job of vacuuming out the filter either. Definitely not saying it’s a bad robot, just saying I think its price point is kinda high for the performance. Also, the obstacle avoidance is sort of meh and best.

For 44 years on this planet I thought they are useless and I did not consider buying one. One month ago I pulled the trigger and bough one, a Roborock Qrevo. My home is a mix of hardwood floors, some of them covered with rugs, the bedrooms are carpet. I am very impressed with the performance, attention to detail, it knows where to mop and where not (carpet and rugs), does a great job mopping and vacuuming.

I didn't have much of an issue with performance but it was the navigation and getting stuck issue that stood out for me with this machine. I sent two back for the same reason. I switched to a roborock qrevo s which has marginally less stated features but actually effectively and efficiently navigates itself around.

I got the Roborocks QRevo S on Prime Day. I compared it to all the mop robovacs and felt it was the best bang for the $. Plus I really love the spinning mops! Boy do I love this thing!! Connected to wifi and was vacuuming and mopping within minutes. Has a great mapping feature. I am very pleased with it.

See I don’t have carpet and it’s doing a fantastic job with my hardwood so no complaints also it’s getting right in the corners with those mops and doing good edge work so I have zero complaints My sis has the one you said and I don’t like it as much but also I don’t have carpet. Nor does she tho The qrevo has lower standing in most every category (price comparative. I paid 1400 CAD$ for the p10 pro ultra which is way less than that one, depending on exactly which one but their suction sucked comparatively - not in a good way) on the spreadsheet that cross compares every feature on every robot but I’m really happy you like yours! Weird how the two you mentioned are the only two I have irl experience with. I think the difference must be the flooring type

I have the Roborock Qrevo and it was life changing! Between myself and the big fella Archie, we are a pretty hairy household. I have long thick hair myself and broke every vacuum I’ve had just by my own hair! But the Roborock Qrevo gets the job done. I can’t believe it. It works better than I ever expected it to. It’s pricey, but wait for a really good sale. That’s what I did and for several hundred dollars off. It’s worth it!

It will self empty dirt and dust and food bits, and some hair. But hair will also wrap around the rollers. It’s not hard to just pull out though

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.

I have had a Roborock Qrevo S since December which has worked flawlessly. I would give it another try.

Go to the YouTube channel Vacuum Wars and watch some of the reviews and Best of 2024 vuds. That will give you decent background info on robot vacuumed and their features and limitations. That way, you can get a better idea of what features you want and issues you might face in your home. Whatever you buy will be in your home for 3-5 years (possibly longer). I'm on my second bot. First was a Shark (no mopping ), and my current one is a Roborock Q Revo(mopping ). Both did or are doing exactly what I bought them to do within the limitations I expected. The Q Revo I bought was quickly replaced by a model with some improvements, but it's a quickly evolving field.

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 have a roborock q revo and i love it. it auto vacuums and mops and cleans and dries the brushes. super low maintenance. i have a cat who sheds a lot plus a toddler, and i also shed a lot. i had an old roomba before and it was terrible (getting stuck, tiny dust holder/ hair getting stuck on roller and wheels). i love my current one and hair is never an issue even though i have very long hair

i love the roborock too and wish i bought it sooner. but i did think the price was steep though lol. looking at how much ive used it in a year though (2x a day, my entire downstairs of the house), it is so worth it

Had my Roborock Qrevo S for about 2 weeks and very happy with it.

I cast my vote for Roborock QRevo I got the QRevo S for 469.00 on Black Friday. I’m loving it so far.

Roborock Q Revo is the best I've found. It's pricey but the others just can't handle 3 pyrs 😭 No robo vac is perfect but that one is the best one I've found so far. We've put more than a few to the test and they've all failed miserably until this one. Even the Cadillac of vacuums, the Dyson (a full sized plug in one) balks at the sheer volume of hair and dirt my crew lays down on a daily basis. 😱 So I guess just do your best and learn to 1) clean a lot 2) live with some amount of hair and dirt and 3) for the love of God hope that the robot vac isn't running unattended when your pyr gets sick, because I wouldn't wish that mess on my worst enemy.

Honestly, for ceramic tiles, I'd lean towards the Dreame L10S Ultra from your list. Had a decent run with it myself. It handles tile like a champ and sneaks under low chairs. Another winner could be the Roborock Qrevo S. For a broader look at these, ConsumerRating has some spot-on reviews to help you pick. Cheers.

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

Yep. Roborock has no serious obstacle detection. It's good for reliability and stable software but prices are high. You can get Dreame cheaper and more advanced for same or less.

Mopping performance compared to the Q Revo‘s. Rotating mops are just superior and I think Roborock finally admitted this by moving away from vibrating mop pads on the Saros which will most probably become the S9. Otherwise it’s really great. 👍

Yeedi M12 Pro, Roborock Qrevo S, and MOVA S20 Ultra are all models around $500. I’ve used Yeedi and Roborock, Yeedi mops pretty well, and Roborock vacuums carpets nicely. Hope tha help.

The Roborock QRevo seems to go on sale every month or 2 on ebay for $360 for a refurb sold by Roborock. Mine looked new when it arrived. That's crazy good value. I also have an S7 maxv ultra, but the qrevo is close enough and cost a third what I had paid.

I had to create a carpet area manually in the Roborock app.I used a bluetooth mouse to get precision but after a few adjustments, my Qrevo runs along the whole carpet👍

The detection of the carpet by our robots lacks precision and this is generated with each pass ... Create your area manually, will allow your robot to go along your carpet as you want😉 At home, I made the side brush lightly rub my carpets.

I just got the q revo, and im happy. But i also came from a 2 year old ecovac which apparently was a piece of shit.

Not sure about the rest, but the Roborock Qrevo S doesn't have a camera and its obstacle avoidance is pretty poor as a result. I have the Plus and it's perfect for me, but I make sure there's nothing it can run over (cords, etc) before I run it.

I just received the Roomba Vac 2 Essential. It’s dumber than a sack of rocks. It will worry away at the same area endlessly going over it and over it like it’s expecting walls to suddenly disappear or move under its will. I already have the Roborock QRevo ($900 CAD) but received this Roomba as a gift. For comparison the QRevo vacuumed and mopped the area in 20 minutes while I finally overrode the Roomba after 1.5 hours of watching it bang into everything over and over and over again. I have no doubt this Roomba model will end up eventually marking up my baseboards after months of repeated crashes. Sure it stops when faced with a head on obstacle but any deviation; a corner, a partial wall….it will thump into it with the bumpers. This model has no customizable map. It’s not particularly good on carpet. It could find the dock when I pressed the home button but did not automatically empty. I watched it fumble about on a near empty laminate floor series of rooms in my basement. Sure the QRevo is 3 times the price but I was ready to frisbee this model of Roomba out the window after watching it the first time. It will be on FB marketplace before the end of the week.

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 have the q revo s. It has a sensor but no camera to take pictures. Overall its an incredible vacuum for its price point.

Sure thing. So far ive been super happy with the device and its definitely been a mostly "set and forget" feeling. So far uve had it get "stuck" about three times. One time it ate a small yarn butterfly my wife made, and twice it ate these wires that close toast bags. In all cases I suspect the cat had something to do with it. Overall, id say the obstacle avoidance is fine. We usually dont have anything really lying around and so far (*knocking on wood) our cat is rather clean and doesnt have too many accidents. That said, the obstacle avoidance is always going to be better with something that has a camera. The qrevo s also has the worst obstacle avoidance from all the qrevos...its also the cheapest though. All in all we love thing and it keeps our apartment wonderfully clean. A couple of oddly shapped obstacles have not been avoided, but I havent really stress tested it.

Love my Q Revo! I had back surgery and was home by myself. It kept the floors somewhat decent till I could fill/empty the water cannisters again. Then when I could refill it with water, it made the house feel clean again. Agree you need some kind of backup vacuum but doesn't have to be an expensive one.

I had a Eufy L60 SES and the problem with it was that it only has a 2600 mah battery compared to the Roborocks standard 5200 mah battery. I did return it and got a Roborock Q8 Max + and like it much better. Another problem with the L60 is it seemed to hop along carpets rather than run smooth across the carpet. The Q8 Max has 5the electronic pump water for mopping which is just drag behind mopping. If you don't care about mopping I think your best bet would be the Roborock Q5 Pro +. It has a water tank on it for mopping but it really is useless because it is just gravity fed water and many times doesn't even wet the floor. [https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q5-Pro-Self-Emptying-Hands-Free/dp/B0C7VN9NWK?ref\_=ast\_sto\_dp&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Q5-Pro-Self-Emptying-Hands-Free/dp/B0C7VN9NWK?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1) If you can get closer to your $500.00 budget the Qrevo S is a steal at $460.00. That will do a good job of mopping and vacuuming.

Longtime roborock fan here. We still have out xiaomi mi, s50 and have ordered a Q revo which is on the way (black friday sale @899). The parts and consumables are cheap as chips on aliexpress. We've replaced the fan for $17, and batteries which last really well. One thing to consider regardless of what brand=model you get is to get them on an isolated wifi vlan with firewall eyles setup to prevent them snooping on your network. We have a network setup where all the untrusted network devices are connected. They can all connect to the internet and thats it. I call it our prison colony.

Yeah, but the q Revo does a poor job at carpet cleaning with my experience. Also, are you using the Origonal Q Revo? I got that literally three months ago and I was lucky if it avoided anything… but it did find away to get itself unstuck a lot of the time to be fair. I returned it because it ran through dog poop. Also, yeah the Q Revo is very very quiet. For me I prioritized better carpet cleaning, support team, and poop avoidance which is why I got the j7 but it depends a lot from person to person.

YES! My advice is to invest in a one that needs a low maintenance otherwise you will feel it is worthless after sometime. By low maintenance I mean it auto empty the dust bag, auto wash and dry the mops so you only need minimum interaction with it just to fill water tanks and clean it every now and then. Check the Robrock S Qrevo.

If you don’t need mopping the roborock Q5 max+ is a better vacuum than the roborock qrevo because it has dual rollers and it’s also cheaper.

I have a gp\newfie and two golden\newfies. I have a roborock q5+ and a q revo both on a good sale on amazon. I have been happy with both. If I forget to run it one day, it will leave little hair balls but they are easy to pick up haha. Still doesn’t get deep enough though on the carpets. Had to get a Miele for that. Never had problems with the vacuum or the app had them for about two or three years now. Replacement parts are easy to get. The Q5+ was 300 and the Revo was 650. If you have a high pile carpet it does okay but low it’s good at.

The Roborock QRevo S is a good entry level robot vacuum, just bought it for 410$ and i am loving it, it does the daily cleaning very well.

Go with the Roborock QRevo s instead, or with a higher end model like the QRevo master/plus, whatever makes most sense money wise.

Well if you can get the QRevo Plus for 5690 I would go with that, if not I would choose the QRevo S, I have the QRevo S and yes it doesn’t go all the way in the corner, but realistically you will need to vacuum/mop your floor your self once every 3-6 months anyways, and the ht water features for the cleaning the mop, seems like a more “nice to have” the mop of the QRevo S is very clean after getting washed from my experience and you can set it to clean the mop more often, so you can customise how often it be cleaned depending on your needs. All in all I really like the QRevo S that I purched and got it for only 410$, I doubt from what I can read the Plus/master/pro is much better, you will need to step it up quite a bit to get some features that are noticeable better from what I have read online. If you still cannot decide, check out “JustADad” on YouTube, he test and review all the robot vacuums.

I say no. I returned mine and bought a like new Q Revo on Amazon for $600 and saved $1,200. Sure, the S8 MaxV has a camera, much better obstacle avoidance, and a flex arm (which didn’t work), but to me that just wasn’t worth $1,800. I don’t mind moving a few cat toys and checking for cat puke to save $1,200. The core mechanics are very similar between the two as far as my average consumer brain can tell. I don’t think my hardwood floors care what they get mopped by. I feel like the upper tier of robot vacuums are good but we’re getting into “stupid money” territory these last few years.

The reliability of Roborock seems good to me. First S5, now Q Revo.

Quite well. The dock for the Q Reco can be placed closer to obstacles than the manual specifies without issues.

I have two dogs, two cats, and four humans living in this house. My first roborock was the original qrevo. The second is the s8 maxv ultra. The qrevo was way easier to clean because of the single tray. The s8 seems to clean a bit better but I don’t think it’s worth the extra money over the qrevo. I still have to scrub the floor along the trim every 3+ months. Mopping about 450 sqft a day with the s8 (since it only runs on the first floor), I refill the water tank every day though I could probably go every other day. I appreciate the auto detergent dispensing way more than I expected though you could just skip adding detergent. The qrevo water tanks are also way easier to clean. That said, I throw the water tanks of both units right into the dishwasher and run the dishwasher cleaning cycle afterward.

That looks pretty good! Glad to hear Eufy's are doing well! But I must say, as a Q Revo owner, it never leaves this much dirt behind. You might need new mop pads or to increase the water used. I'd definitely look into that. It should be noted, it is still a good idea to occasionally deep clean and mop yourself on occasion. I have a Tineco iFloor I use probably once a month for deep cleans, but the water is really not that dry because of the Q Revo. Regardless these robots are getting better and better, and eventually they will completely replace other machines for floor cleaning!

I genuinely will be keeping this in mind for future reference! I love my Q Revo and will use it till it dies. But after an ordeal I had (long story) I have been keeping a back-up list on Amazon lol. I really like the new Q Revo Master, but the new Eufy robots have been piquing my intro, especially the new S1 with the roller mop system. Though Switchbot also has that design, it unfortunately requires a place to put the second mop module, so it limits where I can put it. Regardless I'm happy to have heard all this!

Ah, I have my Q Revo deep or deep+ mop roughly once a week depending on how often we're home. I'm thinking that could be it! The Eufy going over the area twice would definitely explain the extra pickup! Also good to hear that the housekeeper seems knowledgeable about that! I know friends and family that just use Swiffer or way too much cleaner and they LOVE it. But they don't ever understand why their floors don't stay clean sometimes lol! I'm gonna have to play around with my bot too now!

Yes, that is also something I have been dealing with. It's fine for larger obstacles but cords always seem to catch it up, sometimes the corner of the rug too. That is one of the reasons the Master caught my eye, everything I like, but upgraded. But yes, I have no immediate plans to replace it! I'm genuinely hoping I get at least another two years out of it, but I'm not sure yet. My second robot I've ever had, an iLife A9, is still running 4 years later, at a quarter of the cost it pleasantly surprised me. So only time will tell with the Q Revo! Do update later if you happen to remember! I'd love to hear the long term life of the new Eufy's!

I truly hope so! I should explain though. The reason why I say I'm nervous is because my left wheel died on mine recently. Roborock was great about the whole thing and helped me a ton. However, UPS ended up killing my robot and I ended up getting a refurb unit. It's a whole story LOL. But yes I'm hoping mine will be okay for now on! I look forward to hearing your update!

I agree on all points To that, I got a Roborock Q Revo at launch with the deal, so several hundred cheaper immediately. It's often even cheaper now today too. Which is to say a fully automatic robot for much cheaper than the Matic. Self emptying docks can be made quieter easily, and many today already have improved that a lot. The docks are also nearly fully self-cleaning now, and some utilize hot water, ozone, or even silver ions to help reduce and prevent things from growing. As someone who owns a bagged vacuum, I cannot imagine how much a wet-dry vacuum bag would end up smelling after a week, or longer vs. dry only. That said, the docks are pretty low maintenance and really don't stink bad if you maintain them. A couple squirts of Odoban into the dirty tank and I've never had a smell issue.

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

I went from wanting one as a gimmick, to now not being able to even imagine not having one. I'm not home a lot as I'm always at work. When we are home, the last thing we want to do is clean, and I don't mean that in a lazy way either, we get home late and running a vacuum at night would tick off the neighbors. Having the robot, it can work whenever you want, and it's quiet enough that it can work nights too! It started as a joke but we decided it might be helpful, as our roommate at the time was wheelchair bound and couldn't vacuum easily. We just got an early cheap, dumb Shark model. It would bump its way all around our apartment and always impressed us with how much it would pick up. Then for Christmas I found an iLife A9 for cheap on sale, it is the one that really sold me in the sense of "these things actually are getting good". It wasn't much of an upgrade overall, but going from random bumps to basic mapping was night and day. It would finish in half the time vs. the shark. Later, about a year or so, I got the iLife A10 on sale, with Lidar. Again, night and day difference. You can spot clean, room clean, boundaries, walls, basic mop, etc.... I used it for a couple years until the Roborock Q Revo launched. My Q Revo has without question been a workhorse. I run it once a day, and mop a couple times a week. I no longer worry about the floors, I don't need to. I'll still manually vacuum when needed but otherwise I just get it to do it's thing. In fact, my wet/dry floor vacuum just died so its pulling even more work right now as it's the only real mop I now have, other than a Swiffer. Long story short, find one that's rated well and first your needs. You will eventually find yourself questioning how you didn't buy one sooner!

Im currently using Roborock Qrevo S. That's around your price range. So far it's working superbly well.

I decided on the Q Revo S a few months ago when I dug into this. I have a nice mix of floor types and wanted something relatively hands off that does a good job of everything. I'm not disappointed in any way! It's doing a great job of vacuuming and mopping. I got mine from Roborock's site for $550.

For crevices, you need a robot with a bristle main brush. Dreame L series and Mova usually use rubber brushes, which, according to reviewers on YT, don't pick up dust in crevices well unlike bristle ones. Some Roborock model like Q5 Pro, Q8 Max, Qrevo S, and QV35A/S also uses a similar brush. I think if you don't mind with prices, E28 or E25 is a good candidate because its roller mop is superior. Roborock also has a new lineup called S5A which is the cheaper version of Qrevo Edge. Now it's $899 on Amazon. S5A uses a similar Duo Divide split brush as in Qrevo Edge and Eufy E28, a self-empty station, and obstacle avoidance but only using structured light without a live camera.

It really depends on your home, how much hard floor and carpet do you have? Of those three I’d probably go for the dreame or roborock, check out the reviews and top 20 list on the vacuum wars website or YouTube channel. He’s a mod on here too I believe.

Another vote for the Q Revo with full self emptying and self mop washing/drying. The price hurts, but got it for black friday a year ago so it wasn't quite so nuts. And for whatever reason it does all the same stuff as the S8 max or whatever they call it, just with spinny mops instead of vibrating, for much cheaper. Also have the LG self-emptying stick vacuum. At least for our household, we've learned that lowering the barrier to quick cleanup was by far the best way to get us to actually clean. With our old stick and robot vacs, having to empty the dustbin and for basically every use meant it was enough of a hassle that we would just not clean as often. The self-cleaning are certainly not maintenance free, but make it more of a monthly deal. And the roborock app is pretty great, sometimes a little finnicky but better than others I've tried, and HA integration is straightforward enough to get the basics working. I have a dashboard with buttons that just send it to individual rooms which is good enough. Eventually will make some toggles to select multiple rooms at once.

i love the roborock Qrevo S

Just bought the x20 max at usd480. Delivery in early November. The price is cheaper than buying the roborock q Revo which was released last year. X20 max has hot water wash/mop, hot air drying and hair cutting brush. Definitely a better buy than q Revo.

I also have one. Can confirm, but the mop heads get stinky quickly and need regular cleaning (I have a dog).

I bought a robo vacuum + mop Roborock qrevo S, few months ago. Best thing 500 CHF could buy. It can’t replace manual cleaning standards. But if used everyday, the results are great. My wife and I both have stressful jobs and we have 1 less topic to manage :-)

Great post — and totally agree on the mouthful names 😅 Since they’re similarly priced where you are, I’d lean Dreame L10s Ultra for the best balance: strong obstacle avoidance, decent mopping with detergent support, and solid app features. Qrevo S has great hardware but weaker AI. T20 Omni is decent, but Ecovacs tends to struggle more with software and mapping quirks. And yes — if your floors are mostly tile with one carpet, a robot vac *is* worth it, especially for daily maintenance.

I just picked up a Q Revo (not Pro) from the Roborock Ebay refurb store for $550. For that price, it's a fantastic vacuum.

You can get the Roborock Q Revo for $400 on the official Roborock eBay as a refurb. I got 2 this way and they are great. I can’t comment on pet hair performance, but I’ve found the auto mopping to be a game changer.

Bought a Roborock Q Revo S for Christmas... I've been asking myself why I waited so long to get it, it's worth every penny.

I have a QRevo and love it, no issues since we got it this past December. I have yet to see someone complain about any of the QRevo lineup. It does a great job of both vacuuming and mopping.

I find the roborock far superior than roomba (and i think it might be cheaper). I have 2 and one of them is self emptying and mops very well (q5 plus). It hoovers very well and it helps to decrease the amount of dog fur from my dog (that sheds a lot) You can disconnect the mop from the vacuum.. you don’t have to use the mopping function (even though it’s pretty great). Next one I’ll get will be the roborock qrevo because its mopping skills are superior.

I have a Roborock Qrevo S and it vacuums and mops my house each night and has saved us from the tumble weeds of fur from my lab. I will sing its praises till I die, I love it.

I have a cat, no kids and a large house. It is my #1 most used thing. Saturday morning just head out for a coffee with friends and come back to a 90% clean floor without lifting a finger - vacuumed and mopped. After 6 years of service our Roborock s50 died and we replaced it immediately with the newer Roborock QRevo. Not even the latest one, but man what an upgrade to an already good robo vacuum

There's a channel i think called Vaccum Wars on youtube. he tests them all. Some are better for pet hair than others. Make SURE you get on that auto empties. with 2 dogs and lots of shedding, try running it twice a day. And make sure to do a very good regular vacuuming before you run your robovac for the first time. You'll still need to regular vac every so often b/c robo vacs do not currently match suction of plug ins. I have the Roborock QRevo. I'm in love with it, but my pets don't shed. It's auto everything and it cost $700. Roborocks go on sale, make sure you buy it on sale. Consider Costco imo. Id personally buy a membership just to buy the vac there. Cuz Roborock cs if yours breaks, everything i've heard it's a nightmare. Costco will swap it out for you on the spot even years after you've bought it.

Nice. I got it day 1, 700 was the great promo price. Now the Ultra or whatever is 700! I'd definitely opt for the regular at 400. Sick price.

Got the Qrevo S and the brush deals perfectly with my Australian Shepherds fluff if that helps you! The brush has two side caps that can be twisted off and you can also detangle super easy in case something is stuck - in 50+ uses had to detangle only once plus it has mopping function for pet areas and deep clean and tornado vacuum function - spotless (two dogs and messy dirty running shoes it handles super well)

Only downside: the border collie tries to chase it so i have to separate them always -.- the australian shepherd is fine with it

I have the same it was $499 on Amazon.

Roborock shortcomings: Q Revo’s main downside is its obstacle avoidance sensors. The absence of the additional lasers found on Roborock S models seems to make it less effective than its more expensive Roborock counterparts. Definitely stick with S series.

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

My Irobot J7+ and Roborock s7 maxv have significantly different power, but not in that sense. The Roborock can go far longer without having to return to the dock and charge, while the irobot often has to charge 1-2 times before finishing the same job. Navigation and mopping are also obviously better. Bigger batteries are key as the machines age, since you can't replace batteries easily. I also have a roborock qrevo with the full dock (which my other one lacks), and it's so much more convenient that it fills the water and cleans and dries the mop all on it's own, as well as emptying the dirt. The J7+ Does have a bigger dirt bag, but it clogs more often IMO.

I have the Qrevo S and it also detects carpets flawlessly and lfits the mops. Based on 2 weeks of user experience can highly recommend.

I just got the Qrevo S two weeks ago and loving it so far. I was on a budget and figured that was the sweet spot of having all the essentials (mop lift, self cleaning at the dock, good enough vacuum + mop performance). So far it has delivered on every aspect. Have a small ish single floor 2 person house (50m² cleanable space) and we have a dog too. There was some hair buildup after 1 week of running it but it's 2min job to untangle it so doesn't bother me. It was on a sale for 520€ (~$590).

Personally the Q revo seems to be the best bang for your buck. We got ours through Costco for $650 and it has everything you’d need for daily cleaning with self cleaning mop heads. I don’t see the need for anything more than what it can do. Yes you can get a bit more power and extra or “smarter” features but for cleaning our house day to day it does everything we ever need.

Just keep in mind that the QrevoS robot, is a little bit higher, compared to Dreame or Xiaomi. I got a few furniture with 10cm legs, and the Qrevo is 10,2 and Dreame’s robot are 9,7 so it can go under the furniture, Roborock can’t 🤔

I want the Dreame x40 Ultra AI avoidance to be used in the Roborock Qrevo. Qrevo is a better robot but the Dreame never got stuck.

You can purchase and install the Q5 brush (which has bristles) into your S7 MaxV and the difference in picking up pet hair is beyond night and day. I’ve had the Q5 brush installed in my S7 and now my Q Revo and it works wonders for pet hair on my carpets. Only drawback is you do have to pull hair out of the brush every handful of runs, but that’s really no problem and doesn’t outweigh the benefit of hair pickup.

I’ve also been very happy with our Qrevo, but it does get tangled up in cables a lot (I really need to do some better cable management in my home office).

I’ll copy my “review” (not really a review, just some quick impressions after week 1) from another comment in case it’s useful to anyone: I’ve had mine for a week now, previously had a Neato D85, an iRobot J7, and a Roborock Q Revo. So far, it’s a great mop, an alright vacuum, and a functional work in progress on the software side. The great: - First of all, there’s nothing that comes close in terms of mopping. The amount of dirt the S1 lifts of my floors after they are mopped by a housekeeper and a Q Revo is astonishing. - Second, both the vacuum and the dock are probably the best built out of all I’ve owned. I do question piano black and gloss plastic on a robot vacuum, but it sure does look good. The good: - Despite using a new kind of lidar design, pathing is solid. On the current firmware (.33), the robot is definitely too cautious about edges and height clearance. The upcoming version currently in limited release (.40) swings the other way, it makes the vacuum overly aggressive and brave. The only significant gripe I have with pathing is the lack of programming to mop along the edge of carpets where the robot lifted the mop on the first pass. - Obstacle avoidance is generally on par with the J7. It does struggle in low contrast environments and the lack of an LED light doesn’t help, but overall it’s more than enough for the vacuum to run daily without prep. - The maintenance is easier than expected. The dirty water tank adds a couple of steps to the weekly routine, but it still takes less than 10 minutes. The not so good: - It is a loud one. Not quite as loud as the J7, but noticeably louder than the Q Revo. The auto-empty cycle is also longer than other robots, about double that of the J7. Even mop drying (that runs for 4 hours) makes a noticeable noise. Not an issue for me, but I would not put the dock in the bedroom. - Firmware is not quite there. A few times, the robot had randomly stopped in the middle of a run with a notification that doesn’t make sense (e.g. “dust collection stopped”, or “mop washing stopped”…while it’s not on the dock). Pathing could be improved so that empty/wash cycles work in synergy with the cleaning plan, edges are vacuumed and mopped more closely, and areas around edges of rugs are re-mopped after they are detected. - Clean water tank is smaller than I’d like, refill is every 2-3 days for a 1700 square foot house. Overall, very impressed by this effort from Eufy and I think I will end up keeping it despite the kinks because of how well it mops.

Yep, I had a hard time believing my eyes too. Q Revo ran daily for 9 months. Mop pads got replaced every 3 months, water use setting varied by room but none were lower than medium. Regular vacuuming and mopping was handled by a housekeeper weekly. Yet here we are.

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 haven’t tried a lot of robot vacuums but I got the roborock qrevo from Costco for $520 plus tax and it’s great. My qualifications were to vacuum, mop, self-empty and clean, and to do some sort of smart mapping. And, be returnable. So far works well.

I have q8 max and it is great. But if you want good mopping 100% go for the Q Revo S, the mopping on the q8 is very basic, its definitely worth the extra money.

I have 3 robot vacuums and they all still work great. Roborock s5 max. I keep it in the bathroom, it’s great at picking up cat litter. Noisy. Roborock s8 handles the rest of the apartment. Vacuuming performance is excellent. Noisy. Roborock Q revo. Also in the main apartment area. Vacuum is okay, but the mopping is fantastic. A little noisy. Never had any trouble with any of them.

You want a robot vacuum cleaner with good suction and two rotating washing pads. I have the Roborock Q Revo. it does an okay job overall.

Had a dumb one and it helped but was so dumb, now have a Q Revo and enjoy it

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

Roborock struggles to avoid objects on carpet. Put it on hard floors and it will likely avoid it 9 times out of 10 even with the basic models like the Qrevo S with a single light sensor. This is why I always run my ovject avoidance tests on carpet. I find most pets tend to have accidents on rugs or carpet and since it is more difficult for all robots not just Roborock, testing object avoidance on carpet usually means if it succeeds there then it will succeed on hard floors. I'm not sure why other reviewers have not picked up on this yet especially Vacuum Wars. If you want the best object avoidance (from Roborock) on carpet specifically with animal waste the best options are the S8 MaxV and the Qrevo Slim. Through all my years testing it feels like Roborock has not invested in object avoidance as their tech has not really improved much since the S6 MaxV which was groundbreaking when it launched. Companies like Eufy, Narwal and Dreame have invested and are way ahead. It is always best to pickup prior to running a robot, but I do understand that many people prefer to run them on a schedule when not at home.

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.

Great review. Roborock usually releases software improvements pretty quickly for bugs. My Q Revo has gotten new features and has stopped getting stuck in a spot after a bug fix update

Yeah I have the q revo and obstacle avoidance is not what I bought it for. It couldn't avoid socks or wires. But I keep my house free of clutter so I don't get problems with it often. Better than nothing though 

I bought it a week ago for 480 EUR and it has been awesome! It goes over carpet effortlessly, unless the carpet is very light and prone to move if you step on it. Other issue I've encountered is that it might have a hard time mapping around mirrors & windows that reach to the floor, you will need to add "invisible walls" to the map. It does not reach all the way into the corner of the room with the mop, but the little brush on the side will make sure dirt/dust/debris is removed from accessible corners. I think the mopping will generally go as close as \~5cm from the wall, which isn't a problem for me as the places that are most dirty (footsteps etc) are usually away from the wall. I found that it also cleans really well under a table with 6 chairs, both vacuuming and mopping. In terms of cleaning: works really well, my house has never been cleaner before. I love it. One of the nice things for wooden floors is that you can set the orientation of the floor, so it cleans along the direction of the floor to avoid having dirt stuck in the floor joints.

I have an older model, the S6. My son has the Q Revo, and it is great. It cleans really well. There are some newer models that have the double brush, that might be good for the long dog hair

To clear up any confusion the 2 other robots I bought after the q7 were the q revo and then the master because it could take pics of my dog. 2k mistake.

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

I knew my weird hobby of watching videos about vaccum cleaners would come in handy. As others have said absolutely the roborock Specifically the roborock Qrevo, it's great on almost every front and a bit cheaper than their other models whike performing better.

The wyze vac is really a steal for what it's capable of, if they had a version with a self empty dock I would have happily got that. I got a Q revo as my upgrade and have been very happy with its performance and functionality aside from the dock occasionally clogging with pet hair.

Roborock Q Revo has spinning mops that self clean, I've been very impressed at not only how well it cleans the floor but also how little maintenance it requires from me, which is basically nothing.

Q7's mopping is trash as it's just going to drag the mopping pad. You want the spinning pads or the vibrating pads for it to actually work. Wait for decent deal on either roborock q Revo and Dreame L10s ultra. Both should be going on deals to be had under or close to $500. Just one or two weeks ago the L10s ultra refurb was 400 with 2 year all state warranty.

1) go to Slickdeals.net and set a deal alert for Keyword "robot vacuum" 2) lookout for any robot vacuum that has an auto empty and Lidar. That's literally all you need if you simply don't want mopping. If you do decide to get one with mopping capability, make sure the mopping pad either spins with downward pressure (see Dreame L10S ultra / roborock q revo for decent options) or has vibrating pads (see roborock max v lineups). Obviously all depends on your budget

The qrevo actually finishes its job more frequently than the j7 did for me. The j7 got stuck often, maybe 1 out of 4 cleanings it either sucked up a cat toy or jammed itself under something. Noise at least on hardwood is easily double the qrevo and it takes at least 2x the amount of time to clean the house. In my experience, which is several years with 2 j7’s and now about 6 months with qrevo’s it isn’t even close.

Get Certified Refurbished eBay. I grabbed an L10S Ultra for $240 and a qrevo for $330. Dreame and Roborock are the brands. Both units seem pretty much brand new. If you want the latest and greatest, you'll be spending $1.5K plus. Search for deals, as the eBay coupons are timing dependent.

I am a couple months into my $450 Qrevo S and am loving it. Does everything I want it to.

Got the qrevo s for 420 ish after discounts, picked up a q5+ or pro idk for $140 as well. Excited to try them

I've got a Qrevo S and a 3bed home. It does pretty well maintaining cleanliness and has a self emptying/cleaning mop+vacuum. Paid $450 on sale. Personally, I wouldn't think $1800 is worth unless it deep cleans my home every time and never needs me to lift a finger. Otherwise, a regular one is fine for day to day. Plus, IMO robot vacuums are not super effective on carpeted floors.

What about the Kärcher RCF 3 ?. It has a rolling mop and a 2 tank system in the robot. Has anyone tried it? I have a QRevo and although it's doing an ok job mopping, (Looking at the dirty water tank) in the base, l still think it would be a lot better if a robot would suck up dirty water and apply clean water all the time.

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!

I just returned the Qrevo S as the thing stopped emptying it's bin. Yes I did everything to try to fix it but Roborock after seeing a video said i should return. I'm not buying another. The bin on the Qrevo S is too small imo.

At least the Qrevo moves the objects and cleans under their foot print….my wife would be up my ribs if I just vacuumed around everything! 🤣

/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

If you clean up clutter before running the robot like I do, then I don't think the top of the line avoidance is really needed. The basic Qrevo's appears to be good enough for my home to keep it away from walls and furniture so it doesn't run into them at full speed.

I have both Qrevo and S8. They have completely different self cleaning mechanisms. Qrevo is way easier to clean than S8 ultra max. Less parts to clean and possibly getting stuck . However Qrevo is much taller. That’s something to consider.

S7 maxv - mine is at 51km²/ 1471 hours of cleaning and going strong. Have a qrevo as well that was gifted us but still prefer the older s7. Could probably find a refurbished one well in your price range - upkeep has been basically vacuum bags, 6 or so filters now and 4 main brushes/7 or 8 side brushes. I replace based on condition and not the app suggestions.

QRevo has been great , has most of the top line functionality at a reasonable cost. Have two of them going on now. Our old S5 was still working great and relegated to basement now. Apart from accessories, the only thing I changed was the battery.

Not all of them, the Qrevo is only $680.

Another vote for the QRevo S. I have about 550 hours on mine in just about six months. Performs really well mopping and vacuuming, just pick up your floors. Obstacle avoidance works for larger, but smaller obstacles will get run over.

If you're on a budget, the QRevo S really is fantastic as long as you mostly keep your floors picked up. I have six pets and a long haired wife and it kept up well. The roborock is hands down the best app IMO. I've used Eufy, eureka, and roborock and the only ones I've kept are roborock.

Me and my Qrevo disagree with them.

My QRevo S is terrible at avoidance. It gets tangled in cords, socks, pushes around objects if I don’t pick them up more often than not.

I bought the qrevo for $700 and it's been amazing, much better since it has a dock.

In the end I got another Robot for 300€ that was valued at 600 (Qrevo s)

We picked up the Qrevo S. So far it’s a huge upgrade from our s7.

The mop is big. Auto everything is also really nice.

Omg tysm for this! This will probably save my life. With 2 norwegian forest cats with an average fur length of 8+ inch and myself having waist long hair (at about 25 inches) and having tried the Qrevo S running daily I had insane amounts of hair/fur stuck to the wheels and the silocone brush. Spent over 1hr cleaning that thing after less then 24 hours of using it..... Shame for something that gets advertized as "tangle free" and "works well for pet hair" and they sell for 900 bucks I didn't even use it on my carpet (I actually have an indiustrial vacuum for that without any rolling brush system because nothing else can keep up....) and only used it on my hardwood floors and had a deep cleans the day before because I know accumulated hair can create issues. It still failed..... Guess I'll have to spend a little more money and hope for the best (or just keep using my industrial one)

In my house, I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a toddler. The dogs are constantly tracking mud/dirt, the cats track litter, and the toddler is, well, a toddler. Before getting a RoboVac, it was near impossible to keep my floor clean. I could sweep and mop everyday, but the dust bunnies and foot prints would return by the next day. Found a Roomba 670 at Goodwill, and the dust bunnies were no longer an issue. Still had foot prints, and minor dirt on the floor, but definitely less fur floating around. Just upgraded to a Qrevo S, and I can tell the floor is much cleaner and less dirt captured in my socks. You can still see some dirt in the right light, but my floors are noticeably better. Only upgraded maybe a week ago, so things may change. In short, my floors aren't as clean as if I pulled out the bucket and brush and scrubbed my house down. But it is so much cleaner than what it was before and quality of life has increased considerably as a result. So temper your expectations accordingly and you won't be disappointed.

The slim is better than Curv

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His cleaning tests are good but his obstacle avoidance test really needs work. He only tests on hard floors which is the easiest floor to test on, carpet is much harder for most robots when it comes to object avoidance. If he tested on carpet, the Roborock products would end up rank much lower as their object avoidance algorithm is horrible even on their top object avoidance performer, the QRevo Slim. Even on hardfloors, I found the QRevo slim still was not as reliable and consistent at avoiding obstacles as my Dreame X40. Object avoidance really should be one of the most important things a vacuum robot can do as the usefulness of a robot is significantly reduced if you cannot trust it to run on a daily schedule and if you have to babysit it. He also doesn't really test how effective the extending side brushes work and in that realm roborock also is behind the competition as their algorithm for determining if the arm needs to extend or not only really work in perfect 90degree corners. Dreame on the other hand actually extends in any case that the robot thinks it cannot reach normally which results in much better edge and corner cleaning performance. Additionally, the side brush design on the new Roborocks is slightly angled which prevents full contact when extended leaving a large dead spot (I think the QRevo Curv is the only one without this defect). To be fair, this isn't something most reviewers really test at the moment, but it does make me suspicious why Vacuum wars rates roborock's products at the top of his ratings every time. I feel that Jaime Andrews is a much more reliable source of information as he properly tests object avoidance and cleaning performance along with generally avoiding sounding like an advertisement. There are lots of vacuum wars videos which just sound like him reading off the manufacturers press release and then not properly verifying their claims. Regardless, Vacuumwars is just another source to consider but I wouldn't consider him the best reviewer. JustADad seems like a good source for more real-world use reviews but his videos are a bit long and not really easy to watch unlike Jaime Andrews and Vacuum wars. Jaimie Andrews is an overall good source, he's active on this subreddit and I believe he runs the unofficial Roborock subreddit but even with him running that subreddit, his reviews are very impartial. Rtings has been putting out more reviews now and they just released their review for the Eufy s1 pro, QRevo Curv and soon the Dreame L40. If you are buying, purchase from a reputable retailer with a generous return policy. Maybe purchase two robots you think you are interested in and return the one that performs worse in your use case. That's what I did when I bought the Dreame X40 and QRevo Slim and returned the QRevo Slim to Amazon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have a Qrevo (not the master, just one of the OGs I think) and I haven’t really had a problem. I’ve had it a year, I run it daily, and I can count on one hand the number of times it’s eaten cat toys. The only consistent issue I have with it is that I have a blanket with fringe and if the fringe hangs too far off the couch onto the floor the Qrevo will get tangled in that. But that’s genuinely the only issue I’ve had with obstacles.  I also have a Q8 Max upstairs on carpet and that sumbitch craves toy mice. Nothing can sate its bottomless appetite for cat toys. Idk if it’s the carpet or the model but it’s a consistent issue. (Still better the roomba I had up there before tho.) The path finding on the Q8 is great, but it refuses to avoid the cat toys. 

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.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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 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.

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

So I bought a q revo and dreame l10s and compared them directly and ended up keeping the l10s because it seems to do a better job of mopping (and is willing to mop in skinnier areas of my hard floor around rugs). I don't mind the worse app with dreame, it's completely usable and reliable, just with weird translations. I genuinely like the roborock carpets first feature but I don't miss it with scheduling. If you can afford the l40 ultra, that's what I would buy for the best features (hot water mop washing, self cleaning washboard, water turbidity sensor, mop extend & lifting brush, hair cutting roller). How much more expensive are the premier q revo models in your area (the master, slim, edge, curv)? If theyre the same price (or you can afford the slight increase) I'd get those for the best of both worlds: premier features and the superior roborock app.

I told everyone I know about my Q Revo I bought last year. “$600!? On a vacuum!?” It literally vacuums and mops every day while I’m at work. The dust piling up from my lazy ass not cleaning once a week is gone. The pockets of fur from my chihuahua is gone.

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

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

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

+1 for Roborock, the q revo series with the spinning mops and auto docks have been amazing for me. There have a few different models so I'd compare them all but we have the slim and the master and love them both. They often go on sale - I got each of them for 1k or less. I had the s7+ and the mopping was disappointing. I'd avoid any simple dragging mops.

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

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

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

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
