Roborock - QX Revo

We love our Roborock QX Revo vac/mop with reservoir and tank and currently on sale at Costco for $449

I got the roborock qx revo ultra, absolutely love it so far. Bought it online, store selections sucks. Shipped and arrived way quicker than anticipated. 100% hardwood floor apartment with 2 large dogs and a cat. My friend who’s actually slightly allergic said she can tell the difference since I bought it. And even after a year, Costco will take it back no questions asked.

I just picked up a QX Revo at Costco for $459. It included one spare bag and several spare mop heads. The best part of getting one at Costco is their warrenty / return policy. If anything goes wrong I can just return it instead of dealing with Roborock.

That’s the one I just got from Costco as well. What happens if the bin gets full half way through cleaning? Will it go home to empty? I do wish I could tell it ‘empty bin’ like on the roomba. I have mainly hardwood so I’m debating if I need the more suction, BUT for the price I need to know that it’s worth it. Because it needs more than just suction power for that kinda money. Ima keep my eye out for it to go on sale though.

Right now I got the Revo because I was able to get it in store, BUT someone below commented the differences between them. And it’s a great list. Now I’m wondering if I should spend the extra money. 😩 at a $440 -700 difference do I just say f it and go with the ultra? I’m wondering how well the anti tangle brushes work.

From looking at a couple other threads I think the ultra is very similar to the edge just without the lift part. Seems like it’s a Costco exclusive. I’m looking at the differences between the qx revo and the qrevo max v. but so far it doesn’t seem worth the extra money. I think ima keep the qx revo for now, Costco has a great return policy if I’m unhappy in a month or two. That’s the main reason I’m sticking with what Costco has for now. I’m switching from a roomba AND a narwhal to a 1 machine system.

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.

We just got Roborock from Costco and love it! Totally worth it.

We got the QX

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 just bought the Roborock QX Revo from Costco. I’m moving my Roomba j7 to the basement. If the Roborock doesn’t work out I will just return it.

I bought the QX Revo. No complaints.

I would highly recommend roborock qx revo from Costco. I have just placed this order after going through all the vacuum wars. The Costco return policy is always a benefit and roborock is a definite winner!

If you’re in the states, [refurbished Roborock Q Revo.](https://ebay.us/m/gbXzsY) About $344 before taxes and still comes with warranty. Any robot is gonna have dust bags if you want self emptying but you can buy knockoffs on amazon for cheap.

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.

I’d get the MOVA P10 pro ultra as MOVA/dreame’s obstacle avoidance is one of the best. It’s also a de facto flagship robot at the same price range as the other two which are mid range robots and will blow them out of the water. The roborock QX Revo only has structured light which isn’t very good for obstacle avoidance anyway. The ecovacs has pretty bad obstacle avoidance too but this is mainly due to a lack of an LED fill light and poor firmware. https://youtu.be/wbkEQ03wZEM When i run everyday to vacuum first then mop, the floors were noticeably cleaner and my wood floors had a sheen to them and felt softer over time. Much more barefoot friendly if you ask me.

Roborock and MOVA / dreame generally have better navigation and mapping than ecovacs. As for less maintenance, the MOVA P10 pro ultra has a self cleaning mop washboard which is the same as the L40 which generally moves most dirt and dust to the drainage area. Not a fan that the bottom isn’t completely removable like roborock so this is a flaw that can be a dealbreaker for you. https://youtu.be/QjUASR3DdIE

The roborock qx revo is a better choice, simpler to use app helps a lot.

Both robots are identical in terms of features. The roborock has a simpler app UI and better navigation than dreame's robots. Roborock's base station's mop washboard is also easier to clean as you won't have to reach down and scrub since it's completely removable, and there shouldn't be any dirt collecting under the tray since the suction tube is not positioned at the bottom but from the top. dreame's removable mop washboard, where the dirty water suction is positioned at the bottom means you'd also have to clean that area under the drain filter after removing the washboard.

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.

It is at least equivalent, if not even better. With physical disabilities I wouldn't pick a Vibrarise robot, because cleaning the dock might be a pain. Much easier with a revo mopper. You can just take the tray out for cleaning.

I've had the original Q Revo with no duo divide brush, I've had the Q Revo Edge and now have the Saros 10r with the duo divide brush. The duo divide brush really does make a huge difference. I have a Shepherd husky mix and that dog sheds like crazy but I don't see a single hair trapped on the duo divide brush.

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.

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.

My qx revo from Costco has matter but it’s so limited it’s not worth it. It’s literally just room selection and choosing whether you want to vacuum, mop, or vac and mop. Literally all the options are locked behind the app. Just set schedules in the app and forget about it. Definitely don’t purchase based on matter support.

That's a pretty good one, actually. Its main weakness will be obstacle avoidance, which doesn't sound like much of a concern for you, as it will be better than your old Shark. If you're a Costco member, they have a Costco-specific version called the QX Revo. It's got slightly less suction than the Qrevo S, but seems to be about $40 cheaper.

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+.

The QX Revo should be sound; its main drawback will be obstacle avoidance. For a Costco alternative to the Mova line, check the Dreame GoVac line; Mova is a sub-brand of Dreame, and the products will likely be similar.

Just noticed this on Costco while I was trying to find the tank capacity of the QX Revo ULTRA I just got. [https://www.costco.com/roborock-saros-z70-robot-vacuum-and-mop-with-omnigrip-arm-and-22000pa-suction-power-costco-shop-card-included.product.4000384554.html](https://www.costco.com/roborock-saros-z70-robot-vacuum-and-mop-with-omnigrip-arm-and-22000pa-suction-power-costco-shop-card-included.product.4000384554.html)

Not too keen with Roborock, I just got mine a few days ago (the QX Revo not the Z70). What's the negativity with the Z70? I was just very surprised because the Z70 seems to be their current flagship and Costco usually has really old models of everything. The Z70 seems to be a standard robot vacuum with a gimmick but at an extremely high cost.

Hey I made a comment earlier and wanted to expand on it a bit more. We've bought two refurbished roborock vacuums and both have been great (basic Q5+ since we have carpet on two floors). Ebay is currently having a sale on refurbished roborocks Roborock Q Revo - $343.99 with coupon code MEMORIALDEALS (ends may 26th) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/404828308363 Roborock Q7 Max+ - $247.99 with coupon code MEMORIALDEALS (end may 26th) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/404335248662 If you can swing the Q Revo, it would be best, otherwise get the Q7 Max+ Both can be returned for a full refund within 30 days, and both come with a two year warranty otherwise. Seriously no reason not to buy a refubished IMO. If you get a bad one return it and order another during the next sale.

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.

Duodivide roller is a godsend. No need for maintenance so far unlike my q Revo original. 

I have this one and love it - https://www.costco.com/roborock-qx-revo-vacuum-and-mop-robot-with-multifunctional-dock.product.4000233271.html Picks up hair from an aussie. Empties itself. 100% get one that can empty itself. Prime Day is a scam anyways

I'm loving the roborock qx revo from costco right now $499

I got the Qx Revo from Costco this past November for I think $550 (reg 750) ~ it’s amazing! It comes with extra mop pads & bags/ filter. Less moving parts to break. (Ie; arm that extends on higher end models) I don’t mind using a wet swiffer to do corners / edges when mopping. I’m a newbie to the Robo world ~ so it’s my first. It’s the best thing I’ve bought in over ten years. Game changer! Chose Costco because of great return policy. Lately Amazon has become not so great on returns and even worse shipping things. I’ve read, but not experienced, that Robo Rock Cust service is less than desirable. Tip I got from Reddit ; vacuum & mop really well before using first time & then it will be maint after.

I'd buy the standard q revo again. I absolutely love mine and it's still the best bang for the buck especially when you factor in the recent sales. It's discounted down to $375 right now on ebay. [https://ebay.us/ymSs9I](https://ebay.us/ymSs9I) (just fyi this is an affiliate link)

Hello! I was in the same boat few years back and I really wondered if it would make a difference but trust me it did. I realised later that it's wasn't much of that half an hour of vacuum or mop time but recovery from a chore I did not like Also have the flexibility to switch it on when not in the house. I have had roborock for quite sometime and I stand by the quality. https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Auto-Drying-Self-Refilling-Self-Emptying-Avoidance/dp/B0BVVSTJWS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=W0OS5WROZWSP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.12kcqFN8Z-ikMxCLOOAUKtJ4MViEoRJF90XfcdvFD3dhzGkO4tBRhmJI0kUJluqZ3fqV3j4opwvaR8rA3by-Z0lG2UV9KKtdHcSeDkfq93nk_QK6ouQCDs67MeGLCN6DMlu2Nx3tXgQAj0GENrBhA1TMvGfsLoGs52tYJfY5xoGIIv7lz1D8Dfbf98J0SLS16km5JtKorKUcMh5DZO0oTQ.xyFiDt4r7DFnDoQMHD_uNOFWmIA8l_KkFxMwTNGYYNw&dib_tag=se&keywords=roborock+qrevo&qid=1744728049&sprefix=roborock+q%2Caps%2C244&sr=8-1

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)

Looks like the [Roborock Qrevo](https://a.co/d/bSLu10w). I got one a couple of years ago and it is a complete game changer. It doesn't clean as well as humans, but it can do so more consistently which ultimately keeps the floors cleaner. It can also go under beds and some hard to reach places so it overall just reduces dust particles if you are an allergy prone person.

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.

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.

I got a Roborock QX Revo through Costco. It’s my first robot vac/mop and absolutely love it. Admittedly I don’t have anything to compare it to but it does everything I need it to do. The mapping feature is great and there are tons of options in the app. Also, you can’t beat Costco’s return policy if there is a problem down the road.

Yes, basically any of the models with the full dock will be better than or equivalent to the QX Revo (which is just the original Q Revo with some extra bags and so on included). You could save up to $200 it looks like, although refurbished Q Revos from Roborock are ~330 on eBay right now and probably the most you'd be able to save without impacting your featureset too much. Of course, you won't have the Costco return policy to fall back on if you one of these routes, though.

Roomba's have pretty subpar mapping & navigation compared to most other brands. We have one (older) Roomba that relies on VSLAM for navigation and one Roborock that uses LiDAR; the difference is night and day. I would avoid iRobot on that alone until they change their tech.

Roborock revo z or some shit, 300 from Costco and it mops and vacs crazy good

I just bought a [combo robot mop and vacuum](https://www.costco.com/roborock-qx-revo-vacuum-and-mop-robot-with-multifunctional-dock.product.4000233271.html) from Costco and my life has changed. I was always stressed about our dirty floors but didn't have the time to keep them up (2 dogs, 2 cats). I've only had it for a week but it's a must-have for me now. And with Costco has the best return policy so I felt it was risk free! Fair disclosure it was on sale when I bought it for $100 less, but I would still buy it at this price now knowing how I love it.

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

Q Revo is the sweet spot imo. You get more features with others but it has all the essentials. Costco has the QX Revo (essentially the same) for $479 until tomorrow, at least assuming it’s a national deal.

Ok, I'll just make a list, forgive me if I'm wrong. **QX Revo:** `-Only Reactive Tech obstacle avoidance(worst obstacle avoidance of the 3)` `-No mop that extends to the edge of walls` `-No sweeping brush that extends to the edge of walls` `-Cold water mop washing` `-No AI smartplan` `-No pet finding features` `-No sensor in dock to find out how dirty the mop is` `-No anti tangle main brush and side brush` `-Normal laser sensor that can't retract to allow the robot to go under low furniture` **Qrevo MaxV:** `-ReactiveAI obstacle avoidance(uses a camera. mediocre, but works better than reactive tech)` `-Mop that extends to the edge of walls` `-No sweeping brush that extends to the edge of walls` `-Hot water mop washing` `-AI smartplan` `-Pet finding features` `-Sensor in dock to tell how dirty mop is` `-No anti tangle main brush and side brush` `-Normal laser sensor that can't retract to allow the robot to go under low furniture` **QX Revo ULTRA:** `-ReactiveAI 3.0 obstacle avoidance(supposed to be good, best out of the 3 vacuums here)` `-Mop that extends to the edge of walls` `-Sweeping brush that extends to the edge of walls` `-Even hotter mop washing than Qrevo MaxV` `-AI smartplan` `-Pet finding features` `-Sensor in dock to tell how dirty mop is` `-Anti tangle main brush and side brush` `-Retractable laser sensor that lowers the height of the robot to 3.14 in to let the robot go under low furniture` TL;DR the QX Revo has the least features out of the 3, lacking hot water mop washing, edge extending mop pads, camera based obstacle avoidance, pet finding features and a dirty water sensor in the dock, however it still washes and dries the mop. The Qrevo MaxV adds all of these features that I listed above, however its obstacle avoidance is apparently middling. The QX Revo Ultra takes all of the features from the MaxV, but adds hotter mop washing, anti tangle brushes, and better obstacle avoidance and a retractable laser sensor to let the robot go under lower furniture. Sorry for this extremely long and boring list to read, hope it helps though

I 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!

I just bought Qxrevo from Costco. Does anyone know if the sale will let me buy a better model for similar price? $600

Got the QX Revo today, nice unit so far

As a S8 MaxV Ultra owner, I currently got another Qrevo QX from costco and it's doing a great job! One of the best deals out there.

I do replace the rollers as needed, I'm used to iRobot low quality where they had to be replaced frequently, this is not the case with Roborock as these hold even when something is stuck inside and they spin against it. I do open the bottom cover once every few months and vaccum there to all debrees that gets inside the wheel chember and bumper. I do have temporary Qrevo QX which is the costco variation for the base Qrevo, and TBH, it's working very well on hard floors, didn't tested it upstairs yet.

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.

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

I have a Roborock self emptying one now and mostly got that because it could vacuum and mop. Before I had a neato bot vac and dir just vacuuming the neato is far superior. That did a way better job of throughly heavy duty vacuuming, when I had that vacuum I had 3 German shepherds and a black lab so I definitely needed a ton of suction and power that didn’t clog, get tangled etc. but now I live in the north and with snow and ice and mud I needed mopping too. I also now only have one German shepherd, my other dogs don’t shed as much. But I also have a pot belly pig that always brings in mud. So the Roborock works great for that but for straight vacuum and suction power the neato is better.

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

We have a self-emptying Roborock that vacuums soft surfaces and mops hard surfaces. We love it sooooo much. I can’t imagine the state our floors would be in without it 🫣

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

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.

We have a q revo and it’s great

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 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.

/agree My Q Revo eats them. I just make sure to clear the floor before the task runs and it's all good. Actually got me into the habit of cleaning up on a regular basis rather than leaving a mess for a big monthly cleanup which I dreaded to do lol

This 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.

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.

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?

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Second the OP.  I'd recommend getting a Roborock or similar with self emptying vacuum. It works best on hardwood floors. Carpet not so much. Look into robots with high suction power. Like the other OP, you will still need to dyson up nooks and crannies manually, but the ability to schedule frequent self vacuum in high traffic areas cuts down on your workload significantly.  The self mopping feature imo is not worth it, but maybe the newest models have improved.  From experience, you will want robots that can detect animals (I've seen videos where the robot runs over the dogs tails, gets stuck, and terrifies the dogs). Also look for ones that can detect objects like poop, so you don't come home to a Jackson pollock painting. Look into the clearance height of the robot as well, and compare to your furniture if you are looking to have the robot go under couches and stuff. For example, our roborock barely fits under the couch, and even with 1 cm clearance, will avoid going under the couch if it detects the under-couch fabric is hanging too low (we fixed this by reholstering the bottom of the couch). Worth mentioning if you work from home that the self emptying vacuum feature can get loud, but it is usually very brief and you should be able to schedule emptying times. The robot vacuum companies get you on the replacement parts, which are not cheap. You do get what you pay for though, and routine maintenance (cleaning sensors, replacing brushes, untangling hair from rollers) goes a long way in longevity. I haven't found a robot vacuum that does not pick up hairs in the dog roller yet, so expect to periodically open up the robot to remove hair (usually very easy). For replacement parts, you can go third party for cheaper. Especially so when buying replacements for big brand/popular models. For example, you can get an unofficial 5 pack of vacuum bags for the self emptying vacuum for the same cost as 1 official one (or something like that). For carpets, I'd just go with those manual carpet brushes. Picks up way more hair more efficiently than any vacuum. Just my 2 cents. 

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

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
