Roborock - Qrevo Slim

Get a roborock QRevo curve or slim. Roborock is one of the top robot vacuum manufacturers. It vacuums and mops. The app is awesome. The charging station empties out the vacuum’s dust bin, cleans and dries the mop, and senses of it needs to re-mop. It won’t be cheap, but it’s what you want.

The slim is better than Curv

I just got the Qrevo Slim. It’s been great so far

I got a slim that was on sale for my 1 bed 2 bath with hardwood and lots of navigation challenges and it works pretty well.

I happly set up mine. It went and started mapping everything. Then parked in front of the Base and now insists on "Error 31, please make sure front and back sensors are not obstructed". Cleaning does not woork, it is a brand new device. I tried factory resetting (home and pin simultaneously) but it won´t reset. :(

Although I did manage to make resets, the fault pertained. In the end I returned it and got a new unit which is now working well.

Sorry for replying so late. Yes they can be removed and washed. Suction is good. I really like this unit.

My Slim is doing great with cords. I'f anything it's a bit too likely to clarify something as an obstacle. This is a major step up from my Roomba J7+ and almost as good as my Pure i9 2 .

My q revo slim does a pretty good job at mopping 9n wensday and it does a decent job of keeping up with the vacuuming everyday even with 2 dogs and 2 cats. But it never gets every thing and it's never a deep clean. It more just slows the progress of messyness a lot.

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.

Yep it’s 100% worth it. Have owned that model for 6 weeks and it has proven its worth. Cant comment on longevity though

Yes! My entire downstairs is hardwood and tile. Vacuuming and mopping works well on both. I have it do two passes, so it makes a checkered pattern. So even if it misses something the first time, it'll usually pick it up the second pass. I have two Roborocks, a Slim and a Q5+.

Oh man, sorry to hear, I have the Eufy S1 and it does a pretty good job at getting under things and not getting stuck. But I do believe it is now overpriced for what you get. If clearance is your #1 priority, then I would look at the Roborock Qrevo slim or the Saros 10R (newer version) as they are the slimmest I know of at 3.14 inches. One thing I would definitely do is measure furniture (tables, chairs, end tables, dressers, buffets) and see what height you need and go from there. Some things might require risers if you want to get under everything. I had to do that but now the only place the golden retriever hair can hide is under one couch lol.

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

With the QRevo slim or basically any roborock, you will feel like an idiot because you will be finding yourself babysitting your vacuum and pulling out cords that it's eaten from the brush rollers. Seriously, roborock needs to work on their object avoidance algorithm before I will ever recommend their products to anyone. They have everything else figured out, class leading cleaning performance, app and build quality, but their robots have the object avoidance of $300 vacuums. I currently have a QRevo Slim and a Dreame X40. The X40 is so far ahead in the object avoidance realm that it's not even a contest. Both clean about equally as well with a slight edge going to the QRevo Slim, but that slight advantage means nothing if it can't complete a full cleaning task without getting hung up on some obstacle. I have my Dreame X40 running at midnight every day and never have to worry about it getting stuck on something or caught on something because it's object avoidance works so well, even in the dark and on all surfaces. It stays clear of cat toys, cords, socks, paper towels and all sorts of random household junk. So even if the roborock is very so slightly better at cleaning, the fact that I can run the Dreame daily will keep my house cleaner. The Dreame also does a better job cleaning edges and corners due a better extending brush design and extension algorithm. For the money get the Dreame X40 if you have a mix of hard floors and carpets and get the eufy s1 pro if you have only hard floors.

I've tried both and kept the Dreame X40 for similar reasons. Roborock is just bad at obstacle avoidance. I have two x40s and they have been working great for the past 5 months other than some minor hiccups. Their regular customer support really sucks but I've had really good luck contacting one of their support reps, Russell on Whatsapp. He's helped me update my X40 and recalibrate the LDS. If you want to avoid Dreame and Roborock try the Eufy s1 pro. Since you have hard floors mostly, it would be a good choice. Eufy's customer support is better than Dreame and Roborock but their robots are a little worse when it comes to carpet performance.

Jaime, would you say that the QRevo Slim is close in obstacle avoidance performance to the Dreame X40? I have a Dreame X40 but I'm considering returning it due to the side brush not spinning on carpets and because it thinks my rubber anti-fatigue kitchen mats are a cliff so it gets stuck on the mats (something my cheaper robot vacuums with Cliff sensors never had issues with). I'm hoping the slim is close in object avoidance performance as the X40 is class leading.

Yeah it's disappointing that the Dreame is so sensitive. It is nice that it rarely gets caught on anything but a common rubber kitchen mat that other robot vacuums have no issues with should be easy for a $1000+ robot. I've got a slim coming in tomorrow, hoping its object avoidance is good enough, but it may struggle as you are saying that it still has issues with cords and that is one of the most common obstacles in my house along with cat toys. Thanks for the advice and love your videos!

So yeah the slim has okay object avoidance but not nearly to the level of Dreame. The Roborock Qrevo Slim basically refuses to avoid cords on carpet, even clearly visible and thick extension cords. It's a bit disappointing in the object avoidance but it is nice how well it can clean my kitchen and it doesn't get stuck on my black anti-fatigue mats unlike my X40. Seems like they both have similar cleaning performance with maybe the roborock being better with the double brush roller? It's going to be difficult to pick which one is going back. It is nice that the slim can get under some cabinets and side boards and that it can clean my kitchen well, but its object avoidance makes it hard to trust to run on a schedule. Also it's pathing efficiency seems not as good as the x40 as well as battery life. Meanwhile the X40 has practically flawless object avoidance but it's Cliff sensors are over sensitive and prevent my X40 from properly cleaning my kitchen with it getting up onto my anti-fatigue rubber mats and then getting stuck on them since it thinks the edges are a cliff. Also the lack of side brush on carpet is a bit annoying. I've brought these concerns up to Dreame support and a support engineer I got a hold of on whatsapp and they might be working on a fix but not going to hold my breath on that. They have had almost a year to implement the brush on carpet feature which the L40 for some reason has now but the X40 still doesn't have. Might just keep the QRevo slim and work around it's poor object avoidance. Have you gotten updates on your roborock vacuums to make object avoidance better?

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.

Get the Dreame X40 certified refurb. https://www.ebay.com/itm/356133310411 It's 879 right now on eBay through Dreame store. I have two of them and they are basically brand new and have a 2 year warranty versus a 1 year warranty when purchased brand new.. It is the best robot when it comes to obstacle avoidance. It has all the features you would want with extending side brush to clean edges and corners and good mopping and vacuum performance. I run mine daily on a schedule and they never get stuck and do a great job cleaning my carpets and hard floors. Each vacuum can clean each of my floors on max suction ~750sqft without having to stop and charge and each finishes in around 1-1.5 hours. I also have a Roborock QRevo slim that is just as good when it comes to cleaning other than corners but its obstacle avoidance is atrocious and it eats cords and cat toys and runs into things that the Dreame is great at avoiding. Most reviewers like Vacuum Wars tests obstacle avoidance only on hard floors which is the easiest surface for obstacle avoidance, on carpet most Roborocks just fall flat and eat everything. Nevertheless, I'm boxing up my QRevo slim right now and returning it as Roborock's obstacle avoidance just isn't good and it's side brush extension behavior was lacking with it rarely extending to clean corners and when it did extend, it doesn't do as good of a job as the dreame Right now it seems like Dreame has the least compromises when it comes to vacuum performance. They clean well, avoid obstacles well, mop well and have good app features Roborock main vacuum motor hardware and brush hardware works well but their side brush behavior and hardware aren't so good and their obstacle avoidance is far behind the competition. Eufy has good obstacle avoidance, and great mopping performance with the Eufy s1 but their vacuum pickup performance is lacking behind Dreame and roborock and their app is very lacking in features and smart home integration.

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.

I have personal experience with the Eufy x10, Wyze robot vacuum, Roborock QRevo Slim and Dreame X40. Out of all the robots I've used, the one I will recommend is the Dreame X40 and by extension the Mova P10 pro ultra which is basically an X40 with a slightly smaller battery and missing the ability to leave the mop.pads at the station.

In my experience, the x10 is mediocre at vacuuming hard floors, okay at vacuuming carpets, decent at object avoidance for the money, decent at mopping (although the mop pads are very likely to capture abrasive debris and scratch your floors since the vacuum performance is so bad), good customer support. The review from Rtings closely matched my experience: https://www.rtings.com/robot-vacuum/reviews/eufy/x10-pro-omni X40 > QRevo Slim > Eufy x10 > Wyze robot vacuum The Wyze, while far outperforming everyone in vacuum performance on hard floors, is last because it's a "dumb robot" with no obstacle avoidance, self emptying dock, mopping and other advanced features that the other three have. It is still a really good performer and lives in my garage picking up leaves, road debris, concrete chunks, screws and other nasty garage debris that the other vacuums likely couldn't pickup. Also has a sealed HEPA filter unlike the others. In your case, I think your best options are the Roborock QRevo, Dreame l10S, Mova E30. The roborock will be the best at vacuuming but will struggle in object avoidance. The l10S and Mova E30 are very similar machines, both will perform better than the x10 at vacuuming and mopping but be slightly worse at object avoidance but better than the QRevo at object avoidance. If you are willing to keep your home a "robot vacuum proof" environment, the QRevo should be the best choice in your price range.

Neither. 1) roborock has horrible obstacle avoidance, especially on carpet so they will eat cords, towels and socks so it's hard to run any of their vacuums on a schedule 2) the roborock s8 maxV ultra is a 2 year old design as this point and their sonic mopping system is outdated. It seems like they didn't want to cannibalize their QRevo line up and stacked on a silly side mop onto it. 3) the QRevo edge is good but if you are set on roborock, check out the QRevo slim as it has the best object avoidance out of all Roborocks but that isn't really a high bar to overcome as their robots have object avoidance that is comparable to a $400 robot. Personally since you have so much carpet, I would recommend the Dreame X40, L40 and the Mova P10 pro ultra (sub brand of Dreame). All have excellent hardfloor and carpet performance while also having class leading object avoidance. I currently have qrevo slim that I'm testing and a Dreame x40 ultra. The x40 just a far better cleaning system due to the object avoidance since I can run it daily.

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.

Get a Dreame or Mova for best obstacle avoidance. I've owned a Eufy x10, Dreame x40 and Roborock QRevo slim. Out of all of them I rate the Dreame x40 far ahead of the other two with the QRevo slim coming in 2nd and Eufy x10 last I currently have two x40s and their obstacle avoidance is nearly flawless. The robots rarely get stuck or eat cables which lets me run them both daily without having to prep my house or intervene. Roborock in general, really struggles with obstacle avoidance, especially on carpet. The QRevo slim I had for a few weeks before returning it would constantly eat cords and cat toys. Do not go with roborock if you value obstacle avoidance. For your case, I would recommend the Dreame L40 or Mova P10 pro ultra. Mova is Dreame's sister company and the p10 pro ultra is identical to the Dreame L40 other than not being able to leave the mop pads at the base station. And both are very similar to the X40 other than having a slightly smaller battery and slightly different obstacle avoidance sensors while still being as good as obstacle avoidance. The advantage of the L40 and p10 pro ultra is that you are getting X40 level performance but usually around the $500-700 price point.

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.

The cord eating thing is a Qrevo feature. Would never go for RR again actually

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.

The qrevo slim too, probably. Mine found a price tag off a shirt under my bed it's first run, told me about it and avoided it. I have high hopes for it also avoiding poo when my dog's twilight years arrive.

I am a brand-new user of RoboRock Qrevo Slim, i want it to vacuum under the bed but it seems like it wont go under the bed because it detects the bedskirt. When i remove the bedskirt, it will go under the bed sometimes; I am wondering if it could be instructed to push through hanging fabric that reaches to the floor. Also, it seems like it doesn't go to all of the places in the mapped area, which is a little disappointing.

I‘m really happy with my roborock. I had the s5 max for the last 4(?) years and was really happy with it but decided to upgrade to the qrevo slim for all of it‘s functions. Now my parents have the s5 and are really happy with it

I have the slim and its obstacle avoidance is very good.

The Qrevo Master has a lot of good reviews, so I don't think that's a bad option. Roborock has historically been weaker at obstacle avoidance, though, and the Master is no exception. I don't have insight into the European market, but at least on Amazon US, the Qrevo Slim is cheaper than the Master right now. I mention it because it has the first generation of Roborock's new obstacle avoidance and navigation system, which got a very high obstacle avoidance rating from Vacuum Wars, and the Saros 10R (which uses a newer version of the same system) just got the highest obstacle avoidance rating ever from them. The Saros 10R is one of Roborock's new flagships, so quite expensive, but you might give the Slim a look. Assuming the Slim doesn't work out, I think you have to go into purchasing the Master accepting that it's the closest to what you want, but not an exact match. It sounds like you're already used to poor obstacle avoidance with your current robot, and I'm sure the Master would be better than what you have now. If you can live with that, I'd expect you would be quite happy with the Master otherwise.

Of these, the worst mopping will be the Q5 and Q8 robots, which just have stationary pads attached to the back. The S8 also has a pad attached to the back, but includes a scrubbing motion via a plate that vibrates at a high speed. It's better than the Q5 and Q8. The best mopping will be on the Qrevo and Eufy X10. They have spinning mop pads, a dock which refills the water tank on the robot from its own water tank, and also cleans the pads automatically and stores the dirty water in another tank on the dock. Of the last two, each has its strengths and weaknesses. The X10 will be better at obstacle avoidance. The Qrevo is a Roborock, which has a better reputation for quality and reliability than the Eufy, and is also rated a little better than the Eufy at a lot of things: vacuuming performance, mopping performance, etc. It also can swing out one of its mop pads for better edge and corner cleaning, something the Eufy can't do. In some cases, obstacle avoidance is really critical, in which case I'd recommend the Eufy. Otherwise, the Qrevo is likely your best bet.

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

Unfortunately the slim is in an awkward spot. Its object recognition is better but its cleaning specs and performance are worse than the curv. If you could and are able and willing to pay for the flagship model I would personally hold out for the S9 which should combine the best of both worlds.

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 

I got the Qrevo Slim and it’s much better then the Master so yes it’s better. And it justs releases so it will inprove more with new firmware updates. Already got the first firmware update

Same. I wish I could do Valetudo, I would strongly prefer to keep everything local. That's a no go with three floors in the house, though. Can we get a fork that supports multiple floors? Even on its regular cloud service, it's been a massive upgrade over what I had before, and it integrates nicely with HA. My favorite automation so far: Cat uses the litter robot. After the litter robot flushes, wait a few minutes then send the Qrevo Slim out to vacuum up just the area around the litterbot to pick up any stray litter the kitties tracked out. So many cloud-attach devices seem to have connectivity problems or keep dropping off of HA, but not this Roborock. It alone seems as reliable as a local device. 9/10, would absolutely buy again.

We have a Slim (Starsight) and a vacuum- only Q5 Max + (LiDAR). The Slim has less than optimal object avoidance and navigation. Cleaning a room takes forever because it is always turning itself around trying to figure out where it is. This may be fixed with firmware updates. It does a great job mopping large areas free of furniture. I had to make many no go areas to keep it out of trouble. It’s a diva. By contrast, the Q5 just works and is quick and does a great job, but doesn’t mop.

I just got the robo Rock slim love it. It even works on my carpet great https://preview.redd.it/61f49x7hdeee1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ace952a2621ced6b0cc4700273a640da50803f5

I have a RR Qrevo Slim, purchased during the Black Friday sales. It's our second robot vacuum, with the first being a Shark. We have a large home with hardwood floors and a few area rugs, a German Shedder, a beagle mix, a long haired cat and 2 kids that tend to leave toys, socks, and shoes all over. My kids and I also have long hair, but it's curly, so we don't shed like folks with straighter hair. I mention all this because they were points of consideration when I was looking at models and features. Verdict: 100% worth it. It keeps me sane because I don't have time to vacuum the whole house as often as it would otherwise need. With regards to the Slim, I have been impressed. It hasn't gotten itself caught on any cords, and it has been able to go under furniture and in between dining chairs and stools like a champ without running into anything. It's leaps and bounds better than the Shark was with avoidance and this particular model is a bit better than other RR models from the tests and reviews I saw. That said, it's also better for hardwoods. If my memory serves, the Curv/Edge was recommended for carpets but probably outside of your budget even with the current sales and discounts. In any case, do some research and think about what you really need in a vacuum and pull the trigger. You won't regret it!

The tests are no doubt accurate, but you have to consider whether the overall weightings matter to you. For example, I personally don't care for obstacle avoidance and would rather not have it at all,\* but I do care greatly about any mopping system's abillity to keep itself clean and free of mold. Then there are things like robot height and threshold-climbing that are entirely situational to your home. I love most things about the Curv, including the threshold climbing, but my home has six (6!) pieces of furniture that the Curv ***can't quite*** get under (the Slim could). There's also the issue of relativity. In 2025 I wouldn't pay too much attention to differences in suction, for example. Any of these newer vacs, and especially the "best" ones, do a very good job vacuuming. The differences are nitpicky. *\* regarding obstacle avoidance, you didn't ask, but say I lose a sock under the bed or in a dark corner of a closet. With a "dumb" robot, it'll probably get caught in the roller, and I'll get a notification on the app, then I clear the obstacle and have the robot finish its task. With obstacle avoidance, it'll vacuum around the sock. I'll never find the sock, AND a spot on the floor never gets cleaned. You have pets, so the pet poop thing may be the most important thing to you (if only it was reliable).*

At the beginning the robot got stuck in the fan's electrical cord. After that, I've changed the configuration "Less collision mode" to Sensitive and it started recognising the cord. But my cats have some toys with cords (like the tail of a plush mouse) and the robot gets stuck at it. The robot also pushes the cat bowls along the house, so I had to add a no go zone there. In average, the object avoidance is good when compared to others roborock models, but it's still far from being great.

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.

Same thing. I was shocked at how bad it was. I went for Roborock Slim and have never been happier

I just bought a Roborock Qrevo Slim about 3 weeks ago, and I have been really happy so far. I have about 775 sqft of hardwood floors with one 10ftx12ft rug in my living room. We are a family of 3 with two fluffy dogs. I went with the Slim because I wanted to make sure the robot would be able to get under all of my furniture and the other models were a little too tall. I also had a $1k budget and this was on the upper price end of my budget. Vacuum Wars did a great review on YouTube so check it out. I think the only con is that it needs to be cleaned once a week. Dirt tends to clump under the rollers (this would probably be fixed if i had it vacuum everything first and then go back and mop) and some hair gets caught around the spindles of the rollers. Not a big deal to me and very manageable IMO.

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.

Many reviewers seem too exited for nothing and focus on the mopping, they show bare minimum of the robot and rarely how it's built or long term testing. "Antitangle"? Make sure to use long, i mean 30cm+ hair. I just want a smaller than 300mm robot without any mopping functionality, please drop the garbage and focus on the vacuum part. Bring the ecovacs mini(286mm) competitor with roborocks duo-divide and a bag dock.

For context, I have never owned a robot vacuum and did hours of reading up before deciding on the Qrevo Slim. Dreame’s warranty sounds like a nightmare, Eufy seems like it can’t vacuum worth a damn but mops great, and Narwhal was a bit out of my price range so I figured what the heck, it’ll start with Roborock. I am a real person not some sponsored influencer so my thoughts are not biased. I have about 1000sq feet of house to cover, 2 rooms of carpet and a couple of rugs, and otherwise it is laminate flooring. I also have 2 cats, one long hair and one shorter. I was surprised how customizable the app is, it is so in depth and there are so many options. I will have to take more time to learn how to better use it. I was having a hard time setting up zones in the app, as I'd like it to mop my kitchen area twice. The robot was quick to map the house when I first let it loose. The cats were just super curious about it and robot kept detecting them and going around them. One of the cats just loves batting at the spinning arm, I will probably have to replace that soon lol. The robot was very good moving around the pets and any other obstacles. It did a good job of finding corners, stairs and within a couple minutes it re docked itself and had a map of the house. Overnight, I set it to run a vacuum and mop cycle. It is pretty quiet, sometimes turns up to turbo mode for vacuuming and it's a little louder. In general though, you could watch TV with running and be just fine. It very effectively vacuumed and mopped, and quickly, the whole place was done within about 45 minutes. It did well in corners and edges. For my household upkeep I will probably only need to run it 3 days per week or so. Reviewing the paths it took on the app, It avoided the cats, made neat tidy lines and seemed very thorough. There was a fair amount of pick up on the rugs and carpet that it got flawlessly, and some spots in the kitchen that needed mopped (no deep stains or anything just minor spots from cooking etc) and it mopped them with ease. It was able to get on the edges near cabinets and trim well. There was only one spot it did not do well in and that was in a corner where I have a standing pad in the kitchen. It had a tough time figuring out the way up the pad which has a ramp up but is approximately an inch tall, and also my cat was laying on it I think so it didn't go up it but I know it's capable. I'll have to try to force it to get into that spot better. Overall, quite impressed with it. I don't know if Roborock has improved navigation a lot through updates with the new Starsight system but it did really well navigating and recognizing objects to avoid. That was a concern of mine initially because several of the reviews I had seen said it was not on par with the standard lidar that Roborock has been using the last couple years. I don't know, seemed great to me. I will be interested to see longevity, I picked it up on a sale for $1000 which was about the maximum I wanted to spend. For the price hope it lasts several years, and expect to have to replace rollers/dust bins/brushes etc as needed. I understand there are pretty cheap replacement parts on Aliexpress which is awesome. Hope this helps anyone looking at options like I was!

Just bought the Roborock Qrevo slim. I searched for a long time before settling on that. Dreame warranty sounds like a nightmare and quality seems inconsistent. Eufy seemed like it could not vacuum well but was the best mop option. Roborock seemed to have the best customer service as well as many aftermarket replaceable parts as needed. So far after a couple of cleanings I am very happy with it. Vacuums well and mops well. Gets corners well. It isn't 100% perfect but I'd say it does about 95% of the job I could do by hand, I just don't have to do it anymore. Easy cleaning and maintenance, self emptying and self cleaning mop pads. It's awesome so far, and was just on sale for $1000. If you're looking at a $400ish price range check ebay for refurbished Roborock. They come with a 2 year warranty and I saw models like the S7 Max for about that price which, although older, would definitely do a great job. If you can move up to a $~600 price range you will have a wider variety of nice options. Roborock consistently scores very well among the similar vacuum brands from many reviewing sites which is what turned me toward them. Hope this helps some!

It does for me. Got stuck one time but generally it cleans around it no problem.

I have the qrevo slim. I'm emptying a full bag every month. 80% floor, the rest are rugs. I'm not complaining about suction. I have a shedding white haired dog. My Dyson Animal left noticable hair. This robot doesn't! I think suction is one element, rollers are also in play! I picked the Slim because of it's dual roller design and profile.

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.

I would not say especially close. Roborock's main weekness is with proper object avoidance on carpet and cords in general. If you are concerned about pet waste the Slim is better than the Master. If Roborock could invest in their object avoidance there would not be many worthy compitiors. Another drawback with the X40 is it thinks everything it see is an obstacle to avoid. You could say better safe than sorry, but it is a bit much imo.

Curv has the exact same object avoidance as the MaxV. Reactive AI. The Slim has a bit better though due the the front solid state lidar that helps.

May I ask if you find Roborock noisier?  My Ecovacs only has vacuum sound. I just got Qrevo Slim and it has rattling noise...

I tried removing the rollers and put back but still the same... Emailed support on 18th. No reply yet...

I just tried pulling, and both sides are latched, but I noticed that one side feels looser than the other (i.e. one side can be pulled higher). Edit: I just got a reply from Roborock—they’re sending a technician over. I’m impressed with the service! Edit 2: Technician didn't come. Sent videos over and Roborock replied saying the noise is normal...

The most important thing you can do is get a GOOD bagged vacuum. We have the Meile C3 for dogs and cats. Use it often. Robots will do maintenance but not deep clean. I also find myself replacing the brushes more than “recommended” because the excess hair is so hard on them. Hardwood- Roborok with the dual rubber rollers. We have the Roborok Quervo Slim and it’s great for a daily run for upkeep. Carpet - haven’t found one that I love. The best so far is the Eufy L60. It has a feature that cuts the hair that gets wrapped around the brush. It’s fine, but tends to leave little clumps of hair on the carpet on occassion. But I’m living with it because it’s better than having to vacuum every day.

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

I have the roborock qrevo master and slim and love them both. Roborock is committed to Matter so mine are both connected to HA matter with no issues.

I also came from a Roomba and now I have two Roborocks: A Qrevo (basic model) and a Qrevo Slim. Both are wonderful and do a great job. The Slim is really awesome. It does a nice job dealing with obstacles. It identifies shoes and other random objects quite well. I know the Dreame bots are a bit better with that. But I’m very satisfied with the performance.

qrevo master/slim, both 900 usd but they both have hot water mop washing, edge extending mops and side brushes, scrapers on the edges of the main brush to stop tangles, great carpet cleaning, good obstacle avoidance, 10000pa suction(4x the suction power of your s6), a dirt detection sensor in the dock to make the robot remop a dirty area. get the slim if you need better obstacle avoidance than the master/ you want the robot to go under low furniture

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. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Roborock Qrevo is expensive but works very well. We have two long-haired dogs who can shed a third dog before noon. The Qrevo sweeps and mops. We usually run it in the morning and again in the evening.

I'm using Roborock Qrevo right now. The price is budget-friendly, and the integration is native (support local based on the document). 

We have a q revo and it’s great

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

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

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

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

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

I had one of the higher end Sharks, can't remember the model, and I thought I liked it. It touted laser mapping, advanced schedules, etc. But then I got the Roborock Q Revo and it absolutely blew me away; made me realize how shitty the Shark was. At every level it's better: primarily it cleans way better, but also the app is better, it's actually easy to get replacement parts, and a ton of minor things that make it feel polished, like the robot will announce on its own device speaker what's happening, like why it got stuck or why it's returning to a dock. Contrast this with a few friends of mine that have even worse vacuums than the Shark: theirs get stuck all the time, can't find their way home to the dock, they end up not using it at all. Long story short, based on my experience it's absolutely worth spending good money to get a good robot vacuum.

I have a Roborock Q Revo in our 2 adult household and love it. I sweep out the corners occasionally since a round vacuum obviously can’t get into a 90 degree corner, but I don’t have to vacuum or mop anymore unless I just want to. My MIL also bought the same model, and they have three dogs in their home. One of whole sheds A LOT. He’s a corgi/lab mix and blows coat like a dandelion. It keeps up with all their hair, just needs more frequent dust bag replacements. It is so worth buying the right kind and getting a quality robot vacuum/mop. The cheap ones simply aren’t worth it. My father has a roomba (to excuse himself from ever actually cleaning) and it is awful. It will run over the same piece of hair multiple times without picking it up and then straight up avoid a certain dirty spot on the floor repeatedly. It runs on a random track of going until it bumps into something and then goes a different direction. He has also had problems with the batteries crapping out constantly and needing replaced because the capacity deteriorates so badly. The Roborock goes in a pattern; first does a perimeter sweep then goes in a grid pattern of vertical then horizontal rows. The Roborock takes floor plans of your house so you can select individual rooms for cleaning. There is a spot cleaning feature as well where you can drop a box to enclose a specific area that needs cleaned. You can set up scheduled for it to keep your house maintained and ignore it beyond weekly maintenance. I dump dirty water, fill the clean water, and wash mop heads once a week. I love it and would never buy anything else. Especially a Roomba.

Got the same one, for 400€ it's great! Navigation is awesome but it indeed just won't detect cables… The ones that can automatically search for your pet and allow you to see it while further controlling the robot remotely are pretty cool, but it's not really a big deal to not have that feature.

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

/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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is cool, but I'm not sure how useful it is. Maybe instead of simply positive or negative, it could drill down into more specific, e.g. "Good for pets?", "Good for carpets", "Easy to maintain", "Easy to use app" etc. For example, the obstacle avoidance in the Q Revo which has the highest rating here is pretty terrible. It will easily drive through pet waste spreading it all over your home and basically destroying the robot. I have two Q Revos, but no pets :)

The Q Revo S is on sale currently for $549 vacuums, mops, and the base empties mops and dries. Pretty much the best you can get for the money.

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

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

Hi all, I’d like to know, is the Reactive AI (with rgb camera) actually much better than ReactiveTech? At the moment I have a Q Revo and it’s quite good, it is able to avoid most of the the objects in my house. But it struggles particularly with “low and flat“ objects. In particular this one, which is similar to a U shaped chair: https://preview.redd.it/suvutwjl6wne1.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f064284593fd32eeb31bffbcf7a05b6278d1d89 He tries to climb over, got stuck, then turns back and so on, a mess… Do you think Reactive AI robots like Curv, Edge, Slim or the new Saros could handle this? Can they recognize the obstacle (taking a photo) and maybe you can tell the robot to avoid it at all?

Q Revo has the spinning mop pads and lifts them automatically during carpet cleaning.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I'm not sure what is actively considered a top vacuum but something I've learned the hard way is to make sure the robot has a setting to empty the dustbin periodically or else it will go through a whole run, then try to empty the dustbin and the charging station will get clogged trying to suck the large clump of hair into the dust bag. I have a qrevo and really love the robot but the fact roborock doesn't currently have an option to empty the dustbin every 100 sqft or so, means that I have had to set up separate schedules for each room so it goes back to the dock to empty the dustbin between each room. It's frustrating.

Totally. Yeah I also hoped they'd update the app to add that but I've had the robot since it first came out a little over a year ago and it doesn't have that yet so unsure if they will ever add that.

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

The Roborock is a big hit, it's also very quiet (under the 65 dB mark). Also check out the Eufy on this list for under $500.... [https://www.soundproofgenius.com/get-a-quiet-robot-vacuum/](https://www.soundproofgenius.com/get-a-quiet-robot-vacuum/)

I was in the same boat, but with Black Friday sales both the roborock qrevo (refurbished)and dreame l10s ultra (new) are available for $359. For that price it’s hard to justify spending 2-3x as much for a few extra features which don’t seem to make a huge difference in the actual functionality of the product. I bought a l10s ultra and hope to not think about it again for at least a couple years.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I have a roborock revo with a dock.  The thing I don't like it that there is no setting for "go empty in the dock after x minutes" like there is for the mop. So to deal with this, I created a routine for each room individually.  It then empty after each rooms. Do that once a day, and no clogs.

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

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

Exactly what I meant thank you for saying it for me. That’s why I own an.x40, and threw my revo in the trash. I was referring to roborocks obstacle avoidance

Q(X)revo is an excellent entry level active mopper. A huge upgrade to an S5. Welcome to the world of active scrubbing and autonomous washing with water management. You will enjoy it.

I disagree. Got a roborock q revo with vac and mop, also with a station that washes and dries the mops and it is very good and helpful.

Trust me you don’t need to drop $1800 on a robot vacuum. Any decent flagship Roborock will do, S8s or one of the higher end Q Revos. Saros is great but again you don’t really need them. Would avoid the other ones.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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