QX Revo

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

Their stubbornness on using camera based navigation was bad, but then when Amazon was going to buy them I think it also scared off a lot of more tech savvy users. I sold mine and replaced them (S9+/M6) with one Q Revo. Roborock is out here making vacuums with robotic arms that pick up and move things out of the way and climbing stairs and iRobot is like "vacuum don't work if dark :-(".

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.

The Costco one has a two year warranty along with Costco having a much more hassle free return policy. Not sure how much that is worth to you but it was worth paying a bit more to me.

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.

My Q Revo replaces all cleaning. I don't do any floor cleaning now.

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).
