Roborock - QV 35S

If they all cost the same, go for the Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2. It has the highest suction at 10,000 Pa (higher than the Roborock QV35s at 8,000 Pa and the QV35a at 7,000 Pa), an excellent dual mop system with auto-wash and dry, AI obstacle avoidance, and one of the best mopping systems available. The Roborock QV35s is still a fantastic option, with strong 8,000 Pa suction, Roborock’s superb app, reliable dual mop system, and great mapping. If you prefer Roborock’s ecosystem or app design, it’s a great pick — just know it has slightly less suction than the Dreame. The QV35a is essentially a QV35s with 7,000 Pa suction. It’s only worth it if it’s meaningfully cheaper. The Q Revo Plus is older, with 5,500 Pa suction and fewer advanced features, so it’s a step behind these newer models.

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

QV 35s is more powerful (10000 Pa instead 8000 Pa) I think it’s the only difference (and the price 🤣)

I have a long haired GSD and the hair was an absolute nightmare, I recently purchased a QV S35 (alternate version to the Qrevo) as my first robot vacuum/mop and I have it automated to vacuum every morning and a vacuum followed by mop on the weekends. It's been nothing short of a saviour, it deals with even the longest of our dogs hair with ease and hasn't once clogged up, every couple of weeks I take off the detangle brush and remove any hair that's been stored at either end of it (takes me all of 2 minutes) and then put it back in and it's back to business as usual, As for pet accidents we've spent a long time training our pup to ask to go outside when she needs to go so we haven't had to deal with that experience but I'd suggest running it at times where the pets are less active/likely to have an accident. If you're on the fence and need that little bit of encouragement, honestly, just go for it. There's nothing better than getting up in the morning not having to look at little tumble weeds of fur floating around.

I recently invested in a Roborock QV35S. Really impressed with it. Funnily enough, just finally got round to integrating it into my HA earlier today so the whole family can control it by a button push or two. Works well.

Had a Roborock QV35S for a few months, and have it integrated into both HA and NodeRED. Works well.

The dreame and MOVA are compatible with the TriCut/CleanChop brush which I found to work well with long hair (also below shoulder length) and my long haired corgi. The roborock qv35 only has a rubber brush which is generally resistant against tangles but you’ll have to take care of the hairs that collect at the end of the brush which is easily removable since they have easily removable brush ends.

Both Ecovacs and iRobot are having issues these days with quality control with both hardware and software. In iRobot's case, this is part of a systemic issue with the company that could result in its failure. For Ecovacs, I don't know of any reason for its downward slide. Reputation-wise, Roborock is the leader right now for "just does what it says on the box with minimum hassle". They seem to have fewer quality issues (from my non-scientific observations of user reports), and their app and navigation are always rated at or near the top. For what you've described, I'd take a close look at the Qrevo series or the QV series. Prices range these days between about $600 and $1500 USD. There's a good buyer's guide [here](https://vacuumwars.com/ultimate-roborock-breakdown-2025-buyer-guide/) for Roborock products. I didn't see anything in your post that told me you need much more than the cheapest option, which would be the Qrevo S according to current Amazon prices. But definitely check the deals you can get. If you're a Costco member, Roborock sells some special-brand versions of their regular robots which might be worth considering as well. I'll also mention Mova, the budget/experimental brand of Dreame. They've been doing well in the budget category, delivering a lot of value for money. I will warn you, though, that they're a new brand, and don't seem to be quite on par with Roborock in terms of "just works" capability. But if you can't find a Roborock that looks good to you, that would be a potential alternative. Good luck!

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+.

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.

Based on your needs, Sados 10r is an overkill except you are planned to move into larger place in the next months. For Roborock, if you don't mind washing and changing the mop pad before every mopping session, you can go with Q7 M5/L5/TF with + designation for auto empty station. The Q10 S5+/X5+ gives more features above Q7 like obstacle avoidance sensor, vibrating mop pad and lifting mop pad unlike passive mop like in Q7. If you need a bit more automation, you can spend a little more on QV35A/QV35S (different only in suction power 8000Pa vs 10000Pa), and Qrevo S (7000Pa but come with warm air mop drying unlike ambient temperature drying in QV35). The QV35 has other names in some regions called Qrevo L. For Dreame, you can go with their D9 Max Gen 2 (no auto-empty dock), D10 Plus Gen 2 (with auto-empty dock), D20 Pro Plus (upgraded from D10 with more features like obstacle avoidance, extendable side brush, dual roller main brush great for anti tangle, and 13000Pa suction). There's also D20 Plus with almost similar specs to D20 Pro Plus but without the extendable side brush for corner cleaning and obstacle avoidance sensor. If you need a bit automation, there is D20 Ultra (offered in certain regions), L10s Ultra, L10s Ultra Gen 2, and so on. There's also Mova (Dreame's cheaper sub-brand) with S10 (cousin to D9), E30 Ultra for a bit more automation but cheap (cousin to D20 Ultra), S20 Ultra, or P10 Pro Ultra. You could also try to check Xiaomi's robots if available in your place. Their customer service is mostly decent and their robot is designed by Dreame using Dreame's older design and sold at cheaper and competitive price than Roborock, Dreame, and Mova.

I have a Roborock q revo with mop and auto washing/ auto empty base station. I was skeptical about the mopping functionality but my wife talked me into it. I fucking love it.  haven’t touched the floors in over a year except vacuuming behind doors every couple weeks. 

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

+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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
