Roborock - Qrevo Curv Series

We have a q revo and it’s great

really? it’s been plug and play for me

ah i just made the routines in HA and just call from HA. i don’t use the app

i hear you - my POV, which i realize may not be strictly accurate is that if something can be configured to do complex automations (room cleaning etc) in 15-20 minutes in HA then that counts as plug and play :)

certainly wouldnt hurt! The roborock integration page is (unusually) helpful. With that said, i don'tchange mop intensity or vaccum power with my routines, but that should all be pretty easy. If it doesnt work, feel free to reach out maybe i can help!

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

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

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.

After happily using a Roborock S6 for quite a few years in a 600 sqft condo with 1 dog, buying a house, adding 2 additional furry friends(one cat, one more dog), and our S6 dying out with the dreaded “filter blocked or wet” issue(despite my best attempts to rectify it, including a full dismantling), I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade for our new found levels of mess. Our main issues in our fully hard floored home are dog and cat hair, as well as some wonderfully muddy paws that even with our efforts at the threshold to prevent, are sometimes unpreventable(100lb dogs will be 100lb dogs). After lurking in this forum for quite some time, reading countless reviews across multiple platforms, and watching too many YouTube videos, I decided that the no tangle split roller of the Curv along with the reported mopping performance and Roborock navigation system was a no brainer. My floors will be clean! My white kitchen floor will no longer smattered in brown! No more hair balls rolling across the hallway! Rejoice! Woof. We have had this $1400(purchase price) robot roaming our house continuously for 2 months now, and underwhelmed doesn’t describe how I feel writing this today and watching it. My biggest qualm: the mop quality is garbage. With the “official Roborock multi surface cleaning solution” including in the appropriate amounts in the fresh water tank, and the most thorough mop settings, I’m lucky if I’m left with anything better than a very odd brown streak around the edges of my floorboards. Usually, this is also seen in the middle of the floor, but the robot does not do a decent job against edges, vacuuming or mopping. Mopping is great. Just spreading the dirt evenly around the floor….sucks. Mop Score: 0/10. The duel no tangle rollers are great, and live up to the expectations I had. As a vacuum, it is mostly great, with the exception of the nav system. For some reason, it’s allergic to getting into tighter spaces and close to edges, leaving weird spots completely missed. Vacuum Score: 8.75/10 Occasionally, it decides to mop our living room rug. That’s less than ideal. Every time, “smart plan” will mop first, vacuum second. I haven’t found a way to stop this, so I usually run a vacuum cycle and then deep mop to embrace my futility. The app is great though, so cool! Intelligence Score: 6/10 I’m getting frustrated watching it do nothing in my kitchen for the second time today, and enjoying the brown tinge on my tile. I might try to just embrace it. For an evolution in Robovacs, this doesn’t feel like much more than what should be standard in 2024/2025. I wish I had opted for one of the Dreame models at a lower price point, but hey…I’m glad I got a cool rounded dock with no controls.

I see, too much water just spreading the dirt around! Maybe a design flaw for the Curv

The slim is better than Curv

Nvm found it, Yeah I see the Curve S5X only negative thing is that it has Reactive Tech and that obstacle avoidance is even worse than my older S8 :/

I went with a QRevo Curv. I'm basically hardwood floors throughout, tile in the bathroom with a bath mat, and a small mat in the kitchen. Floors have never been cleaner. Prior to this I was manual mopping once a week (or realistically maybe 2x a month when I remember to), with a robot vacuuming every day. Now it has been fully handsfree other than emptying the dirty water tank and filling the clean water tank. I run a vac+mop cycle 3x a week, and vac only 4x a week. Definitely doing something - that dirty water tank is definitely not clear when I empty it.

The individual test methodologies are good, but it’s segmented so it’s not really representative of a full circuit “clean my home” test. And they don’t test repeatability - e.g. living with the robot over a week or two to see how it does in practice with a constantly changing environment. As a Curv owner, I will say I have been very impressed with the unit. Impossible for me to tell whether I’m missing out, but I am approaching 2 months of just letting it do its thing, with no issues once the no go zones were set. I wake up to a clean home, mopped 3x a week, with no missed spots. After the inevitable first few days of ownership where I looked at the app religiously to see what the robot did, it has been set and forget. Just need to dump the dirty water tank and refill the clean tank once a week.

Detangling my old Neato D7 was a weekly chore. But with my Roborock Qrevo Curv, not a single hair has wrapped around either brush for the entire month I’ve had it.

It struggles to clean under the bath/shower mat (the dirtiest part of the house it cleans) and it won’t go under the toilets even though it has the clearance. But those are minor quibbles and I’m looking for something to complain about. Complete night and day difference from the old Neato, which needed constant babysitting. Only thing I’ve had to do it refill/dump the water tanks and it just today asked me to wipe down the sensors. That’s pretty great for a month of 3x a week cleaning in a house with a dog and wife that sheds more than the dog.

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.

I'm on my second roborock, a Qrevo C. Had an S5 Max with a battery that wasn't holding charge well. It is over 3 years old. My first robot was an Ecovacs. Had pretty much constant errors, when I picked it up to clean sensors it wanted to remap again. I sent it for service, got it back 2 weeks later and it was worse. Got one minute off the dock, complained of dirty sensors, picked it up to clean it, started remapping again. I returned it, was only 4 months old. Just junk! Been with roborock since and the model I have now is amazing. I'll never change. Their app is far superior to what I had with Ecovacs, especially for map editing. I can't comment on the Dreame.

Just got the roborock Qvero curv for around 630 usd in my country (Malaysia) and am super happy with it!

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.

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.

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

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.

Roborock Qrevo Curv is the best on the market probably. Pet hair won’t tangle too easily since the brush rolls are great. The Roborock Q7 Max+ is the best value vacuum at the moment, and you can buy it refurbished too. Dual brush rolls are usually better.

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 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 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!

Check out the youtube channel Vacuum Wars, he does a ton of comparisons and yearly roundups. I have one of the more recent Roborock ones where the roller on the bottom is split in the middle, and hair rolls inward (they call it DuoDivide). I have found it to do a good job of not tangling due to the way it's designed and it has worked great for me, though the thing definitely wasn't cheap. That being said, I wouldn't call almost any electronic device BIFL, especially ones with a lot of moving parts.

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 .

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

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

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).

Roborock Qrevo Curv for downstairs (sealed hardwood) and a Roomba J7 for upstairs (fully carpeted)

Just don't want to lug one up and down LOL. It gets annoying since I run it everyday. The Curv is fine on carpets but I just don't trust the mop pad not dripping onto the carpet and there's more space downstairs anyways so I might as well take advantage of its mopping ability. The Roomba does excellent on carpets though. I've been using Roomba's since the Roomba 416 was released and that was a longgggg time ago. iRobot just isn't innovative anymore.

Author does not understand the market of robot vacuums. Article is really obsessed with stain cleaning and failed to test the top of the line robots extensively. Nobody is leaving spills on the floor so long that it turns into a stain only to send out a robot to clean it up. Author didn’t test the Roborock Qrevo Curv but bitched about 18 inch hair getting stuck in certain robots. Kept whining about dried on stains but doesn’t mention which water level was used on the mopping mode. Overall, this article just contradicts quintillions of YouTube and Amazon reviews and my personal experience.

I’ve been running the Roborock QRevo Curv for 3 weeks after upgrading from a Roborock S7MaxV and it has been excellent. No hair tangling with the split dual brush. The only issue I’ve had is small objects (2-5cm) getting stuck and halting the cleaning cycle. I have young kids and a wife who crafts. We have an extraordinary amount of the small toys and charms everywhere. I’m sure more than 95% of the population lol, so most should be okay.

\+1 for the Qrevo Curve. I just got mine and I'm over the moon about it.

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

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

The only system that really seems to work to prevent tangles is the single-ended roller design. The cutter systems aren't cuttin' it. The only two bots that have that currently are the Roborock Qrevo Curv and the Narwal Freo Z. Both use bags, though. The Curv's biggest limitation is obstacle detection and avoidance. The Freo's biggest limitation is app functionality. Another possibility is the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 with the Pro base because it's probably the best bagless model, if that's important. It has combs to prevent tangles, but I haven't found definitive reviews to indicate how effective it is, and I'm skeptical.

Roborock Qrevo Curv/Edge both have adaptilift that raises the entire robot 10mm in addition to the brush/arm/mop 10mm raise. I have one and it can cross mats and pads without getting hung up.

Works fine for me. 😁 I have a raised carpet at the front door threshold for my elderly parents walkers and it climbs onto and off it just fine plus picks up whatever gets tracked onto it without issue. I was sceptical at first but it works so I'm happy. My master would get hung up there and my X10 would hit it's bumper on it and couldn't clean it.

Roborock qrevo curv does a fantastic job mopping and vacuuming the house cutting down on dust being picked up by the hvac and leaving the hard floors squeaky clean.

My roborock qrevo curv does that.

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

I have 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.

Yep guess after using ChatGPTs deep research extensively, lol I just decided to bite the bullet for Qrevo Curv, as I kinda want easiness of mind as well on my case. I was running an Ecovacs for the last 3 years and it had so many issues with mapping and software so far. And thats what Im reading about them really. So eliminate Ecovacs, there are only such less robots left from the premium tier. I was torn in between Dreame X50 and Curv or S8MaxV so far but S8MaxV is a bit old-ish nowadays and from what I read about Dreame, some mapping issues or sensor problems or app glitches are the things that I dont really want to go back to. So with this market in the UK(no Saros 10R), I’m pretty down for Curv at the moment and gonna pull the plug. Hope that helps to you as well.

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 had a Qrevo Curv for almost 2 weeks. When it arrives I vacuumed all my apartment with Curv and then with my old S5. I attached an image with the S5 filter after full vacuuming after the Curv vacuum the same area. I expected S5 to get some dirt but not so much. https://preview.redd.it/3p4yx23c2n6f1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e583317de0212ac550d57f79ad68f750ae506539

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!

You can set a cleaning order. with the Qrevo Curve it’s possible and the app shouldn’t be much different

If you have mostly tile or hardwood floors I would go for the eufy otherwise the qrevo curve if mostly carpet. I’ve had my s1 pro for about a month and it does great!

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!

Roborock Geräte sind zwar gut, Die App jedoch SEHR komplex und nicht alles ist auf den Ersten+Zweiten Blick ersichtlich. Ich musste schon mehrere Male den Support kontaktieren. Das dauert auch jweils 1 Woche oder auch länger! Das Schlechteste daran ist, dass es keine Anleitung zur App gibt seit Jahren! Daher wird mein dritter Roborock (z. zeit der Q revo Curv) mein letzter gewesen sein! Es sei denn, Roborock macht endlich eine Bedienungsanleitung für die APP!!!

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.

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’ve bought the Roborock QRevo Curv on Black Friday for $1000. It’s a great vacuum: it mops every day, can lift its chassis, and cleans itself.

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.

If you’re getting roborock and want to be budget conscious, I’d get the Curv S5X

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 🫣

How tall are the thresholds? Most can handle 2cm with no issue but only the x40 ultra (24mm) and the QRevo Curv/Edge (30mm for a single threshold, 40mm for two consecutive thresholds that are 30mm +10mm) handle higher. Otherwise, you’d have to use a ramp

Generally: Dreame will have the best edge cleaning. This is on the x30 ultra and newer with the L/X40 ultra and newer models having an extendable side brush with the best extension algorithm right now. Mop extension lacks a spring which means it can ride up on quarter round floor moldings if your home has any. Roborock Saros 10R and the QRevo Edge/Curv are nice choices if there are no cables or pet accidents for it to eat. Narwal is a very solid option. The Freo Z ultra has the best smart cleaning mode. It’s okay taking care of things like hair and visible dust but still isn’t as good as vacuuming as it is at mopping. Eufy s1 pro is a very solid mopping option. Won’t edge clean as well as the above models but mops pretty well.

Any dreame model with a self cleaning mop tray? This would be the Dreame X/L30-40. It’s worked well at cleaning my corgi’s fur balls to the drainage area. The mop extend has worked well mopping his drool from the edges of the rooms where he likes to sleep. You can add any TriCut brush and the cover that prevents hair from going to the side to any Dreame model. It’s worked great at preventing tangles. Roborock Q Revo models are also worth looking at. Only the one with the DuoDivine brush is truly no tangle. The other brushes will have the hair and fur tangled on the sides. I recommend rotating mop models as they are better at cleaning off drool. These two brands are pretty good at obstacle avoidance and cleaning overall. There are roller mop models but Eufy’s ozone generator poses a long term risk in terms of reliability as someone reported ozone generators could degrade the rubber seals. Eureka J20 (Midea’s W20) doesn’t seem to be great at obstacle avoidance either.

I've posted a comment recommending a QRevo C for those in Australia with a strict budget of 1500 AUD and the Dreame L40S Ultra for those looking for flagship performance at a cheaper price of 1999 AUD.

I'd recommend the Roborock Qrevo C, priced at AUD 1,298 at Harvey Norman and the official Roborock website store (I've seen negative reviews of the roborock store in Australia so I'd choose Harvey Norman), which offers Product Care for up to two years. The Dreame L30 Ultra S was considered but ultimately rejected because the QRevo C offered the same functionality at a lower price. Do tap the dust out of the filter once every few cleaning cycles, and clean it once every few weeks. The removable mop tray on the QRevo makes cleaning easy. If you wanted to go above your budget, I'd recommend the Dreame L40S Ultra at 1999 AUD, as its better suited to deal with pet fur for its onboard fur compression feature which means it will use the dustbin more effectively and won't get clogged with fur, with space still present in the dustbin. It will also clean the mop pad's cleaning tray more effectively (less cleaning for you) and can clean its own filter when auto-emptying (the need to clean the filter will be reduced to about once every few weeks, as the need to tap the dust out of the filter is eliminated). It also cleans quieter, which will be helpful for any skittish pets. It can remove mops for rugs.

Bald dogs 😂 You asked this at just the right time when anti-tangling tech has essentially matured in robot vacuums. Dreame (DuoStream or TriCut brush), Narwal (conical brush), and roborock (DuoDivide) offer great antitangling solutions for their main and side brush. It’s become cheaper too as this feature has matured.

It seems to be so. It’ll be worse on the S5X model. There is the MOVA P50 Pro Ultra for €749 and that could be worth checking out.

If your budget is up to 2000 AUD, I’d recommend the Dreame L40S Ultra at 1999 AUD. This is because it’s currently the easiest robot to maintain and empty and is best suited for pet fur and dust. It is a flagship robot at a not so flagship price. 1. Most robot vacuums’ filter easily get clogged by dust. I run mine twice a day in a dusty city (AQI PM2.5 is usually at the high 70s) and I need to tap the dust out of the filter of an older robot at the end of every day. However the new dreame robots (L40S ultra, L40S pro Ultra, and the X50 Ultra) in Australia cleans its own filter when it autoempties. For pet fur: The dual anti-tangle main brushes work great for pet hair and the same models can also compress the fur in the dustbin as it vacuums. I have a heavily shedding corgi and the old robot wouldn’t be able to handle his fur as it’ll be clogged with a lot of empty space on the sides of the dustbin to the point that running it twice a day would mean he wouldn’t shed enough for this to happen. However, the models with the fur compression feature will be able to push any fur to the end of the dustbin and will not be as easily clogged with empty spaces. It can also remove the mop for cleaning the carpets as the mops dragging on the carpets will reduce the carpet cleaning efficiency. For maintaining the mopping part: The AceClean dryboard (its mop pad cleaning tray) on these models is currently the best self cleaning mop tray that can clean its mops as the only maintenance required is to occasionally clean a removable palm-sized drainage filter and wipe down the flat dryboard (no nooks and crannies for dirt to hide). If your budget is 1500 AUD, I’d choose the roborock QRevo C (1298 at Harvey Norman). It has good navigation, coverage, and does well with pet hair tangling around the brushes. However, the maintenance won’t be as hands off. Luckily, the mop pad cleaning tray is completely removable for cleaning. It uses the friction between the mop pads and the nubs to clean the mop giving places for dirt to hide whereas the AceClean dryboard uses water jets to clean the mops like a dishwasher.

I think a model in the roborock q Revo line would best fit your needs~ I would recommend the Q Revo Plus (649) as it has the newfangled mop extend, a feature I appreciate since my corgi drools very close to walls and my previous robot couldn’t mop that area. If you want it to clean its mops with hot water (best suited if you cook a lot and need that grease dissolving power), I’d recommend the Q Revo Pro (799). I will say that the rubber brush is prone to tangling, which is most pronounced on the sides. Neither of the models I just mentioned have cameras so it’s good for those who are privacy conscious. Roborock’s extending side brush is not designed very well so I see complaints of it being stuck. If you want no long hair pet tangles on the roller and the side brush, you’d have to pony up a lot more for the Q Revo Curv (an ungodly 1599 USD) which is more likely to have its price fall drastically by the time you get used to it. There was also dreame I was considering but from the tests and reviews I’ve seen, it seems that roborock generally performs better with purely vacuuming the carpet and Dreame’s recent flagships can’t use the side brush on carpets.

This was the best self cleaning model for the ones you mentioned. Qrevo models such as the Curv and the edge should be easier to clean as the entire mop tray can be removed so bending down for long times isn’t needed to clean it. You’d still have to bend down to remove the dustbin’s filter to clean it and tap the dust out once every few cleaning tasks. Dreame X50 Ultra cleans its own dustbin’s filter while autoemptying.

How tall is the piece of transition? For a single one up to 30mm, the roborock models with the AdaptiLift chassis (the most expensive QRevo Curv/Edge and the Saros line). Anything higher up to 4.2cm, if a threshold is less than 9cm long (5.2cm if it is at least 9cm long), will need the Dreame X50 Ultra or any equivalent MOVA model (V50 Ultra). I am aware that Dreame's L/X50 Ultra and any model (such as MOVA's V50 Ultra or the rare UK-only Dreame L40s Pro Ultra) that uses dual conical brushes has a *live fur compression* feature (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOOU0uJsVdU), which helps mitigate the issue of pet fur clogging the dustbin, even though the space isn't fully utilized. I saw it in action, and I think it lives up to its claim. It also cleans its filter when auto-emptying. This should be helpful for homes with heavy shedders such as yours\~ For paw prints, I think a robot that can identify messes like this and act accordingly would be important too. Dreame and Narwal do well with this if you turn on certain functions, such as their smart cleaning mode and intelligent mess detection.

This is definitely not exclusive on the ecovacs X9 pro omni. Ecovacs is late to this feature. Models that can do this well: Dreame’s L/X40 Ultra and newer (assuming there’s an RGB camera), Narwal Freo Z Ultra; Roborock Saros series and CurvX, MOVA P10 Pro Ultra, P50 Pro Ultra, Z50 Ultra, V50 Ultra

Both the Saros 10r and the QRevo Curv have the same self-cleaning functionality since the squeegee based mop pad tray is shared. Anti-tangle will be the same for both robots. Is Xiaomi available? As far as I am aware, only Dreame’s models with the dual anti-tangling brushes (excluding the one with the track type roller mop) has the ability to clean its own filter when autoemptying.

Both the QRevo Curv and Saros 10r have the removable mop tray. The MOVA P50 will be better at cleaning the mop pad tray with their water jet-based approach with the AceClean dryboard. There’s only a palm sized filter that needs to be removed and cleaned every once in a while. The rest of the mop tray isn’t removable but there’s barely any nooks and crannies to be cleaned there so it is easily cleaned with a Clorox wipe.

Most high end robot vacuums have learned to avoid this area with some models marking it as “furniture likely to get stuck on”. If the chairs’ horizontal legs are shorter than 3cm, both the roborock models with Adaptlift and the Dreame X50 Ultra/MOVA V50 Ultra will lift themselves to get over it. If higher than 3cm, only the dreame X50 Ultra and the MOVA V50 Ultra can cross it.

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.

The QRevo Curv/Edge (with a lot of numbers behind it) should have no RGB camera. The QRevo Edge C is one of them.

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

If you’re in the US, I don’t really see a reason to spend that much unless you want to try the Roborock CurvX which can exert up to 12N of mopping pressure like the Narwal Freo Z Ultra but firmware means it goes too fast when mopping over stains when it should slow down. Other than that, I think is a solid top of the line robot. You could also try out the eufy E25/E28 for another roller mop. If you want the most aggressive corner/edge cleaning, dreame/MOVA will be better. Some dreame/Mova models like the X50 Ultra will be better for cleaning its own filter but has its own issues with battery life.

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.

For vacuuming only: Roborock Q8 Max+ or the Q5 Max+ For combos: Tricut brush (works great with a long-haired corgi and long-haired people in my home) compatible: most dreame models in the 10 series and newer Roborock's QRevo Curv and Edge can also be considered if dog "gifts" aren't a concern since they do well with dog fur. The upcoming Roborock Saros 10R can be considered if you'd like it to remove its mops when vacuuming the carpet. If dog "gifts" are a concern: MOVA's P10 Pro Ultra is currently the best bang-for-buck combo model at 659 USD. If you want a mop removal feature (I've seen many complaints about the feature not working as intended on the L40 Ultra), there are Dreame L40 Ultra, X40 Ultra, and X50 Ultra.

[I got this a few weeks ago](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DX1DQKMD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) It could have been dumb luck, it could have been algorithm based. Here's all I know: - I was frantically catching up on reviews to keep gold. So I was putting in 5 reviews a day. - I had previously ordered parts for my Roborock S5 on vine. - I had searched on Amazon for robot vacs with base stations that collected dust/greywater, and dispensed mop water - I got my grab at about 10:30am EDT. *** Today, however, there's a badass katana just calling my name. While you are all snagging free stuff from Amazon, I'll be studying the blade...

Question: is your wife allergy-prone? My wife (then-girlfriend) absolutely flipped her shit when she came home one day, she sees me fooling with my phone, she hears a noise and then my Roborock S5 comes buzzing around the corner. "OMG YOU GOT A ROBOT VACUUM!?!?!? YESSS!" I knew that she's the type that would have an allergic reaction in a hypoallergenic clean room that assembles microchips, but I guess I underestimated how excited she was at the thought of a daily automatic vacuum. *** [A few weeks ago I got in my RFY an upgrade to my S5.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DX1DQKMD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) I think she's just so used to the robot vac, she only got excited when I was like "we can move the S5 to the upstairs now..."

May I introduce you to [our dog](https://i.imgur.com/Frh7Abg.jpeg)? So I can say that I absolutely understand where you are coming from, he's basically the reason why we have a robot vacuum in the first place. Due to some unlucky circumstances I were able to test 3 different robot vacuums over the last 2 years and can give you a quick long hair review. * Roborock S7+: I needed scissors to remove the long hair from the brush. * Dreame L20 Ultra: Better, all the hair basically moved to the end of the brushes and I could rather quickly remove them with my hands. * Roborock Qrevo Curv: FINALLY! It has a "Dual Anti-Tangle-System", fancy name for one brush split in half and all the long hair get transported in the middle where the gap is and then get sucked in. It's running here for a month and there wasn't a single long hair that I had to manually remove.

I just retired my 3 year old room a j7+ to a bedroom and bought a Qrevo Curve. Omg it is night and day difference! The curve is quiet, fast, doesn’t bump into things, and leaves the house clean. So far I love it!

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.

Let's make some corner points. \* What moves will eventually break. So you may possibly not want the most tech cramped can-do-it-all robot like Saros 10R, because repair cost would not be cheap. \* Do you need it to climb thresholds >2cm? Then look at Qrevo Curv/Edge and Saros for their AdaptiLift feature. \* Long hair and pets -- A robot with the DuoDivide main brush system is recommended. It's doing a great job with anti tangling hair removal. My best guessed pick would be a Qrevo Edge S5A or Curv S5X, depending on which dock design you prefer. The robots are technically the same. These are light versions of Edge and Curv, don't have the adaptive body lift, don't have camera and voice assist. But you save quite some $$. Qrevo S5V is an economy choice, also having the DuoDivide roller brush. For lower maintenance, go with a revo mopper. Don't get a Vibrarise / sonic mopper.

Best anti-tangling system on Roborocks is the Duo Divide brush, that is two half brushes with the gap in the center. You find it in any Qrevo Curv, Qrevo Edge and Saros 10 / 10R. If you don't need \- Climbing high thresholds \- Camera+Video \- Voice assistant then you could consider the light variants Qrevo Edge S5A or Qrevo Curv S5X. You may choose Curv or Edge just from the dock design. The robots are quite the same.

Duo divide is incredible, more than a month of use without a single hair on the brushes. 2 cats and a long hair woman in the house.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I love the vacuum, but getting it to integrate with HA is a pain. I wish it was just plug and play.

I got it set up once, but the only options were basically to start (clean the whole house) or to stop. No ability to clean just a room, or to change the cleaning type. I just went to uninstall and reinstall, and now I can't even get it set up. When I try, I get a message "No device found within your Roborock account".

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

I think you will get a lot of “buyers defense” so I’ll go first. Roborock Qrevo Curv. I trust vacuum wars, and it’s at the top of the list.

I did the same! It is encouraging to empty a full vacuum bag!

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

I've done a lot of research these past few days and ended up buying a Q Revo (just arrived actually, about to set it up) - but that was mainly because it was on sale and a lot cheaper than the Dreame equivalent (which would be the L10s Ultra). They seem about the same. The Roborock having a better app experience and the Dreame being better at avoiding obstacles. Keep in mind they were both startups funded by Xiaomi really. But yeah, from what I've read people do complain a bit more about Dreame but in general they actually seem very solid. I did factor in that in my country Roborock is still a lot more common so getting bags and the like might be easier.

I don't know why these people are recommending anything other than the QRevo Curv It's the only one that's confirmed basically 0 tangle (which is a nightmare for older bristle models) + it has bristles.. Q8 Max+ does not - it only has the plastic flapper which basically pulls no hair up. Spend the money and get the Curv.

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.

The roborock qrevo curve or whatever the name is can go high enough so it goes over small bumps between doors which I think is useful. This however is not...

I have the QRevo Curv and so far I love it. I have 4 cats, 3 of which are long hair. I’ve not had a single hair tangle since I purchased it. My older vacuums the S6 Max V Ultra was constantly wrapped up in hair.

Two long hair cats checking in with the Curv- no tangles and a spotless floor!

This is really the only plausible approach. These models are brand new, though, so nobody knows yet if it will work.

You can check out videos of them at CES. They have a wheel that lifts them up. My experience with high-end robots is very different, though I have never tried Roomba. The obstacle avoidance is much better, the mopping is much better, and the auto-empty dock is extremely convenient.

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.

I was in the same boat and then just quit thinking about it and grabbed one of the stated 'best'. I bought a qrevo curv.

We have just purchased a Qrevo Curv and find it to be incredible. We have quite a large house with a complicated layout with a bunch of different thresholds, a range of floor coverings, an eclectic collection of furniture, and we have pets. It is early days yet but we are impressed to say the least with its performance.

/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

My Roomba 690 from 8 years ago is still working fine. Still on the original battery. Just purchased a Roborock QRevo Curv so hoping I get at least 5 years out of that for how much I paid. I think a lot of longevity is based on how often filters are being changed out.

Awesome, these are the 2 I've been most interested in seeing. I just purchased a QRevo Curv over the past week, but I've been a previous iRobot customer, so I'm curious to see why the new model performed rather poorly compared to all of the new competition. It's sad to see the decline of iRobot.

QRevo Curv is the #1 vacuum on Vacuum Wars right now. Was recently on sale and will probably go on sale again for Black Friday. Mine has been great since I got it a couple weeks ago. If you want a less expensive option the QRevo Master is very similar for a few hundred less.

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.

Roborock because of how it maps, you can edit the map, you can program how loud it is, and you can even get ones that have a mop attachment. 

I had the roborock qx revo and had to return it after 5 months (Costco)I keep getting lidar cleaning errors. The self emptying never worked well. My parent have the s2? Roborock and has been great even after 5 years (but there’s doesn’t do combo mopping and vacuuming). I’m not sure if I would buy a combo mopping and vacuuming robot next time.

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

Yes worth imo. I just went from a Roomba i7+ to a Roborock Qrevo Curv. Night and day difference compared to clean. Also the stations keeping the mop pad sanitary was the thing that made me finally dive in, and I’m glad I did. I enjoy not having to vacuum my main floor, and it’s given me a hour or two back in my day.

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

I ended up buying the CurV model. Hair doesn't climb the baseboards so much but it could also be that we keep up with vacuuming?

I ordered the Qrevo CurV because it's on sale for 1K target and it seems to have better tangle free features. Do you approve?

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. 

Take Curv. Easier maintenance with the removable base to wash it. The divide brush is a must with pet

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.

Basically, if you want the best vacuum and obstacle avoidance, you will want one of the top bots! Currently the top dogs are the Saros 10 / Saros 10R and last years models the S8 MaxV Ultra and the Qrevo Egde / Curve. We mop A L O T and like, besides emptying the dirty water tank daily / every second day and refilling daily / every second day, i only have to do "deep maintenance" which involves washing the water filter (its hard plastic so no drying time) and washing underneat it and the smaller mop with a damp cloth, and thats for someone who does the deep+ program once a week. If you just do regular vac & mop, depending on how big of a house you have, and the program you use, you wont need to refill the water tank more than like every 3 days realistically, and it only takes like 30 seconds to do so! Feel free to DM me if you have more questions or just ask them here :)

The "duo divide" or something like that. Some of the 2024 models had that brush design too. Other ones that are good with hair are the narwal and the new eufys (e25/e28) have the same brush design.watch vacuum wars or the hookup they test handling of hair. That said I have an older roborock s6max and 2 golden retrievers. It picks up the hair pretty well I just have to clean hair off fairly regularly. And if it's been more than a day, I have to empty the bin multiple times per cleaning. I want to upgrade to a eufy e25 depending on the reviews.

Ok, that is the cutest beagle! I love my RoboRock Qrevo Curv and it is made for long hair and pets. Works great

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 

This community: Wait, the next model will solve all problems. For what it's worth, we have dogs and I bought a Q Revo last week. Works great. Not 400 m\^2, but 300 m\^2 anyway.

App calls it just Q Revo so I assume normal?

Nope,  nothing changed.

The Qrevo Curve handles the hair perfect.

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!!

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

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.

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.

I would go with duo divide. We have seen that going dual roller didn’t make any meaningful improvements for Roborock. This was My experience and many reviewers as well. The duo divide roller actually does greatly improve the capturing of hair without tangling. And the models that have this roller also have an improved side brush that tangles less. It’s a win win. Though the side brush doesn’t have the option to turn in for carpet. (Ahem - Roborock)

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

I have the original Q Revo and the obstacle avoidance is so bad I just pretend it doesn't have the feature at all. Problem with all of these things though is like 90% accurate avoidance isn't good enough either. It only takes one time for your bot to plow through dog poop or a diamond necklace or whatever to ruin your week. Always check the floors first!

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 :)

Is there a reason why the Curv got beat by the Master for mopping? Makes you wonder if the extra vacuum power it says is worth it. Was it just because of the automated detergent? Trying to decide between them both and we have a lot of tile and a little carpet/medium rug.

So far the split brush roll in the Q Revo Curv has proven to be the ONLY robot that has 100% no hair wrap

My Q Revo Curv has that feature under AI labs, it's turned on but so far I've yet to see it actually do it

I've owned a LOT of robots over the years, you get what you pay for. As for Ecovacs, they just arent anywhere near as good as the price reflects. They constantly lose their map, need to locate so frequently there's actually a button to do it in the app, the app isn't nearly as good as the other high end brands, and they break constantly. My Deebot T8+ had 3 separate drive wheel failures within a year. When the final one died 2 weeks out of warranty they told me tough luck, and wouldn't even sell me the part so I could fix it myself "for my safety" they said 🙄 Currently own a Roborock Q Revo Curv which is fantastic, The self lifting chassis means it basically never ever gets stuck because it'll climb is way out of trouble. I plan on getting the Saros 10R next, which is basically the same as the Curv but with: hotter water (and now has hot water on board the robot), can leave the mops in the dock, more powerful, detergent dispenser, newer and better navigation and obstacle avoidance with no lidar tower on top so it can get under low furniture better. The Roller mop will be the future, but currently the only robots that have one are inferior in many ways to their competitors. So I'm waiting on that one

Not an issue for the Roborock Q Revo Curv, out can lift itself over tall thresholds and high pile carpet. It's the reason I bought mine because I have an even thicker rug than that and no robot could even climb onto it

The q Revo Curv can lift itself for high pile carpet

I have an even thicker rug than this and my Curv has no issues

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.

There really aren't any mop only robots besides the antiquated Braavas which you shouldnt waste your money on. Better to sell your current robot (or use in basement or give to a friend) and upgrade to a Roborock Q Revo master/Curv/edge, Eufy S1, or Dreame L40 ultra (which is cheaper than X40 but performs better)

Q Revo Curv is by far the quietest robot I've owned and I've had about 6

I have a S8 pro ultra and a Q Revo Curv, and while it's been a couple months since I used the S8 (bad vac motor) It does seem to show more obstacles in the map while cleaning even though it doesn't have a camera

I'm uneasy about getting a robot hooked into the plumbing when I've yet to have one (besides a Roomba) last more than a year. My Deebot T8 had 2 wheel failures within a year then the 3rd died just after the warranty My Roborock S8 Pro Ultra charging error (known issue for years going back to S5) then the fan motor died. My first Q Revo Curv started having docking issues after just a week and eventually failed to recognize the dock at all. Now on my 2nd unit

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 go with the Roborock Qrevo Curve—it’s got killer suction and mopping skills, perfect for wooden floors. If you wanna save a bit, the Dreame X40 Ultra is also a solid pick and does the job well. Since you don’t have pets, you don’t need to worry about fur battles, just good ol’ floor cleaning. If you’re still stuck in decision mode, [This thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/SmartRecommendations/comments/1jcd5yp/which_is_the_best_robot_vacuum_cleaner_for_wood/) might also help clear things up!

Love my q revo. If money was no object I might spring for the s8 but I still don't feel like it adds much value tbh Just FYI ebay has crazy deals on official refurbished vacs rn. The q revo was $450 IIRC the s8 was around 740. There were a couple dreame vac/mops for sale as well.

I like this guy a lot, super thorough reviews and says prominently that he receives no money from the companies. Maybe he’s lying but I personally doubt it. I don’t think he built the business to get rich, I think he did it because he’s a nerd and enjoys it. To sacrifice AND your integrity…it happens all the time?m, but I’d bet against it in this case. His current top model is the new RoboRock Qrevo Curv. I just got it and love it. https://vacuumwars.com/

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.

I love my Roborock Qrevo Curv. My favorite feature is that it picks up hair very well and NO TANGLING in the brush.

None of what you shared looks all that extreme, any good robot should be fine. If you're really worried though, the new Roborock Q Revo Curv has adaptable wheels and suspension to help it not get stuck. Just be aware no robot will be able to truly replace a high powered vacuum cleaner for some of those deeper divots and crevices.

Yes I have a Q Revo with the most basic obstacle avoidance and it helps quite a bit. It stays away from socks and dog toys, the larger most common things. I only wish it was better with cords, but the updated models are better with that

Roborock has been my goto for over 8 years now; tried many of them; also had a Eufy but reliability wise my experience has been good with Roborock.Right now I am using from one of their qrevo series and I am quite happy with it: [https://amzn.to/43xTckh](https://amzn.to/43xTckh) I got my parents the Qrevo which is an older model but works! [https://amzn.to/4mRj02c](https://amzn.to/4mRj02c)

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. 

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.

Not so plug and play then

Just an observation, doesn't mean it's not easy or doable. Just means it's not plug & play in terms of what that actually means. Plug & play means in this case that you add the vacuum to HA and it immediately fetches all available information including created routines. All you then need to do is to show that information on a card for example. Just pointing out what the term means. Looks like it requires a bit of effort to get going, which doesn't mean it's going to be hard, but it means it's not p&p. Apologies for the seemingly snarky remark.

Saw a few posts from people cursing how difficult it was to include routines, and how much yaml was necessary to make it all work. I'm talking mopping intensity, vacuum power, what rooms to do in which order and so on. I just gave up mentally before I looked into it more. You're saying it's easy, should I look again?

Most people generally conclude it like this: Roller mop>spinning mop>vibrating mop>passive mop I think Qrevo Curv would be a much better option, but if you have low furniture, go for Saros 10.

Well, Roborock with Adaptilift would do the job (Qrevo Edge/Curve and Saros 10/10r) or Dreame X50 Ultra and Mova V50 Ultra. Most robot vacuums can climb up to 2cm, but that's the maximum limit, so you better choose the above models. Btw, I love your room layout. It looks very pleasant to my eyes.

The Q Revo has been perfection for us

Probably close to a year. Filtered tap water

I haven't seen any empirical comparisons on disinfecting, but you can see from the specs that the newest and most expensive models tend to be the ones that have the docks with the most sophisticated self-cleaning cycles with heated air drying that keeps getting hotter. I have the roborock QRevo Curv and the difference is dramatic compared to earlier generations of mopping vacs. It has scrapers that remove any debris off the mop pads, and washes them with very hot water and air dries them thoroughly. I'm blown away by how clean the robot remains month after month. That being said, I do put a little bleach and a cleaning tablet in the dock's dirty water tank every time I empty it (to prevent mold growth in there), and the tray at the bottom of the dock where the vacuum rests does build up grime and I remove that once a month for a thorough cleaning. As I said, I think this is worlds better than previous generations, but it's now a year old and there may be even better solutions in some newer models.

I know the Roborock Qrevo Curv and Edge do. There may be others.

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).*

Hey community, I would like to start my first post here in appreciation to the amazing products Roborock launches every year (maybe too often). For those who are on the brink of purchasing such robot (as i was a few weeks ago), i think this post will give them 1 extra reason to choose 1 robot version vs another, I had both robots for testing (Qrevo Curv & s8 maxv ultra), and i ended up sending the qrevo back. Even though logic would say that spinning mops are better, the vibrating one on the maxv ultra did a similar job, if not better in the corners. What made me actually stick with the s8 maxv ultra is the much better obstacle avoidance and , drum rolls ... Silent cleaning. I've discovered that i don't need to run my roborock at full speed as silent will do as great of a job. Not 100% sure why but i think it could be thanks to the dual rollers which provides basically 220% extra brooming (counting also the gap between the split roller from the qrevo). To obtain similar results, i had to use qrevo at higher revs which would also produce a higher pitched noise. If you often clean during the night & you live in a multi-level building together with a bunch of other neighbors, I think the S8 MAXV ultra is more suited for you as it can silently & efficiently clean your house while not bumping into your wires or eating your shoes leases (at least in my case). PS: they were both at the same price in RO ( 1100 EUR). Hopefully i am not sharing fake biased info, but this was my experience & that's why i stick with S8 MAXV ultra.

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)

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

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

I 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.

Hmm, I’m the opposite. Best robot vacuum I’ve owned and haven’t had any issues. The lifting chassis has been a game changer as well, hasn’t got stuck once, can make it into my bathrooms, and vacuum very high pile rugs. I also use the mopping solution and am very satisfied, everytime I change the water tanks I can tell it’s working and there aren’t any streaks, even on the edges by my floorboards. I have hardwood floors though, so maybe that makes a difference. Send it back and try something else! Maybe the Eufy S1 Pro Omni would be good for your situation, its mopping abilities are the best by a mile.

If I was you I’d wait until the next big sale and get one of the flagship models. I got the Qrevo Curv during Black Friday for $400 off. At the same time the Eufy S1 Pro Omni was $999. The flagships have better camera systems for obstacle avoidance, higher suction, and other “advanced” features that will probably improve your experience. With CES 2025 starting tomorrow, I could see a lot of liquidation sales happening. Look out for prices on the Narwal Freo X Ultra, Eufy Omni S1 Pro, etc. Additionally, the Yeedi M12 Pro+ has a $250 coupon right now and I’ve heard good things.

thank you so much for this info..... now I know Qrevo Edge/Curve wont be good enough for my place...

I had to get a new robot to handle high pile carpets. The dreame x50 can get up on the carpet, but the ai obstacle avoidance (at least on my multicolour rug) kept thinking there were objects in its way so it would get "trapped" in a completely open space. The Roborock qrevo curv worked well, though. less advanced obstacle avoidance, so it's not getting confused by phantom obstacles, and it has specific setting for lifting its body on high pile carpets.

I bought a Roborock QRevo Curv, it barely makes it over my 33mm threaholds and trie really hard. So iam really waiting for this one to be availavle and finally solve this issue for me.

Roborock said 3cm single or 4cm double. 3cm can be quite a struggle and anything above is unrealiable for me. Some of my threaholds are 33mm single 90° ones, which equals 3,3cm. Its a tiny bit too high for it :( Otherwise i love this thing!

As a qrevo owner, I'd get that if you aren't willing or able to find a spot for the auto drain then I'd either reduce the amount of cleaning (or do it when you're not at home). That said spinning heads are very good at mopping and I make sure not to put stuff around since it will get stuck at a left over cable.

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. 

I have long hair, a big fluffy dog and splurged on the Roborock Qrevo Curv specifically because it guaranteed no hair tangling on the brush. I've been using the vacuum for over a week and there are truly no hairs/fur tangled on the rollers or arm.

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

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?

I suggest you repost this in the roborock subreddit for more replies and experiences with these models. This sub tends to favour brands other than roborock, even though I don't know why. That said, with your main priorities, I would not consider buying the S8, as the saros10r / qrevo curv offer a better anti-tangle brush and thus less maintenance. Saros 10r is worth buying if you truly need perfect obstacle avoidance, don't want the LiDAR and have furniture that it can fit under while the curv can't. edit: formatting

Good luck with your purchase, you'll certainly love it either way! If you are still in 'purchase paralysis' between those two, I suggest this: 1. Consider when you will run the robot most. If you intend to run the robot mainly while being home: go with qrevo curv. You can check the place for any dangerous obstacles before starting it, and due to its more efficient navigation, it will be done in half the time compared to the saros10r, so less time with cleaning noise (energy cost is the same btw, so it's just about duration of noise). If you will more often start it when you are out and don't want to check the house before you leave or especially if your pet is home (never know what your pet is up to all day...), I would go with Saros10r, because in this scenario you certainly will be happy for its better obstacle avoidance and don't care how long it takes to finish cleaning. 2. Measure gaps under your furniture and see which robot fits. "Is the robot cleaning under xxx worth xxx more bucks" is a concrete and thus easy question to answer :) For us the answer was "Never lift the couch in a team effort ever again to clean under? Please take our money!!!"

Saros 10R and Qrevo Curv both have the DuoDivide brush, which is great against hair tangles and terrible for vacuuming carpets. They are great mops and the automation is amazing, but they are worse than the one you already tried for what you need it to do.

Look at the qrevo curv, it’s a better version of the s8 maxv ultra. I got mine recently and it blows my s6/s7 maxv ultras away. It doesn’t miss stuff like those did and can even handle my high pile shag rug.

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.

The build quality is quite different. The S series is a step up. You can feel the difference in the thickness of the plastic, the texture surface and trim level. As far as cleaning goes they both perform well so it’s just your preference. I think the Xanadu egg shape is ugly and outdated. I prefer sonic mopping with great dirt detection.

You get what you pay for. I owned both. I’m a bit bias. The curv mop pads don’t seem to get clean very well by the dock. I would rinse them out after they were cleaned, and there was still dirt in the mop pad.

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

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

I sent the saros 10R packing and bought the curv x. Other than the obstacle avoidance and the detergent dispenser I think the curv x is better. Much higher suction power, more downward pressure on the mop pads and retractable lidar for better navigation. I had them both for a week and ran them every other day and the water bin was much darker in the curv x. They also added quick charging which was important to me. They both leave water droplets on the floor while mopping.

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.

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

No idea. Just got a Roborock Qrevo C here in Australia on special for $AUD 1000 (476 pounds) and I’m genuinely surprised at how much of an upgrade it is on my 3-4 Yr old Eufy (software never worked and wifi never connected. I stopped trying after a while) Dog and cat, neither super heavy shedders. 1 floor, large house, tiles and low pile carpet. Kids leave stuff everywhere. I pick most of it up to put in a no-go zone because they are unreliable.

Just bought a Qrevo Curv yesterday. Super excited for it. I’ve never had a good bot, just a 10 year old Roomba that wanders around aimlessly with zero navigation.

Nice! Mine arrives tomorrow! I can’t wait.

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.

I have a roborock qrevo vacuum mop. 2 kids and a dog and it works great never had any issues. I also have a sebo corded vacuum for deeper cleans but the robot vacuum helps keeping up

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

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.

Well the only real way to manage such cat fur is with a real vacuum like a miele or Sebo. My Miele compactifies months of kitty crumbs & fur like a champ (no cotton candy fur effect here). I use a dreame l10s ultra as my robot. I don't rely on the robot doing deep carpet cleans as I real vacuum about once a week but the dreame has been excellent with kitty floor and my long thick hair (with the dreame cutting brush). The q revo curv is the best robot money can buy right now so ofc that's the best recommendation. I like the dreame better for tighter margins and being more intrepid about mopping next to rugs. Get the dreame x40 master if you can afford it and do the water hookup as the water hookup is one of the final frontiers for a hands free robot. The dreame l10s ultra is sufficient and can empty its bin regularly to deal with kitty floof, but running it everyday should avoid any bin clogs. I would say the dreame l10s pro ultra is worth getting for hot water and water dirtiness sensor (advanced new mopping features). If you want the most advanced vacuum features get the roborock q revo curv. Checkout vacuumwars for feature comparisons and checkout RTINGS for some more grounded opinions. Overall stick with dreame and Roborock. They're repairable with great customer service and parts availability. One thing, the roborocks are SIGNIFICANTLY quieter than the dreames, but Pepperoni doesn't mind the dreame running. The Miele is ofc quieter than the robots on max power tho. Overall a robot is an amazing, indispensable companion to a bagged vacuum in a pet home! With my robot running multiple times daily, I almost never feel the need to "on demand" vacuum anymore.

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.

Is better to get one nice robot than 5 cheap ones. Cheap ones don’t have auto emptying bin, auto mop wash, anti hair tangle brush, etc. You will be maintaining 5 cheap robots, that means, emptying their bins, refilling their water, washing their mops, cleaning their brushes from hair, etc… Roborock has the [Q-Revo Curv](https://global.roborock.com/pages/roborock-qrevo-curv-series) Dreame has the [X50 Ultra](https://global.dreametech.com/products/x50-ultra) to be released later this year. The Roborock can climb up to 4cm and the Dreame claims it will climb 6cm. They are both as hands free as they get. The catch is the price but if you can afford it they are definitely worthy. Roborock has an official integration with Home Assistant and Dreame has one through HACS. I’m a robot vacuum enthusiast and I have one Roborock and one Dreame. Thinking about upgrade to the new X50 Ultra when it comes out.

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.

2 kids, 2 cats and a dog here. All of the above. Anything that saves me time in long run is worth it to me. I have a roboroc qrevo curv. Excellent on hard floors with area rugs. Excellent with hair and fur. It runs every night. Navigation is good but not perfect. Namely it cannot really avoid ingesting wires and small soft toys. it does keep you responsible for picking things up every night. The maid comes every other month or so. Or before hosting. The home does feel lighter and fresh afterwards. But again you got to do the pre-work, pick up big stuff, put away laundry etc. Rarely ever have to touch regular vacuum. Just touch ups.

I'm on my 3d Premium Mop/Vac since December. I've run Roomba Vacs for years. Roomba is no longer the top dog. They did manage my high thresholds well when I set up door mats across the threshold to make a bridge. They vacuum ok. The self empty is good. Their vac strength and object avoidance is lacking. First premium was a Dreame x40 Ultra. Great machine if it could hold its mops. Worked great for about 4 weeks. It was able to jump thresholds without an issue, it updated the map each run and identified obstacles well. It never got stuck. Never sucked up a sock, pen or tissue. Then it stopped picking up it's mops when heading out to a mop only cycle. Sent it back. Second Pre was an Ecovac T30 Ai. It had a hard time with the thresholds. Did not make it over established ramps that the Roomba's (2 different) and the Dreame made without a problem. This resulted in a bad map. Once the room showed on a map, you could send it to that room and it would jump the threshold 2 out of 3 times. But it had only looked through the door and saw half the room. So it would either mop/vac half the room or get lost when it got to the section it had not mapped. It did not update the maps as it went. So it was not possible to get a 'good' map. It also does not seem to be multi-floor compatible. It went back. If I didn't have high thresholds it would have mapped well and I'd probably be super happy with it. Functionally it was good other than the threshold issue. 3rd and hopefully last is a RoboRock QRevo Curve, same bot as the Edge in a different base. It has been running well for the past couple weeks. Object avoidance is not as good as the Dreame. It has got stuck on a cord 2x and sucked up a small black cloth I use to clean my glasses. Both times stopping and waiting for me to help it. After helping you set it down and press play on the app. It locates and continues where it left off. It does seem to clear pet and human hair from it's brushes. I've run it for a few weeks in a house with a cat and a girl with long hair. I just looked at the brushes last night and they had zero hair in them. Moping could be better. I'm still working on that. I think I need to increase the wetness or wash frequency, it leaves swirls. All that said, I'm probably keeping this one. The gripes are minor and I like it's ability to raise itself over thresholds. It currently is cleaning a room the others could not get in and out of.

Running a QR Curve, same bot, different base. It has handled thresholds others could not. two or more weeks, with a cat and a long haired woman in the house and there is no hair in the brushes. Checked last night for the first time.

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

There is only one answer to your first question: Duo Divide.

See if you can try to grab the Roborock Qrevo Curv. If you’re lucky you’ll get a bargain! Got mine for under A$1000 brand new at JB Hi-Fi just over a week ago because they’re going on clearance, Roborock listing it now as an End of Life product. Website shows it’s down from $2799 to $2297 but it doesn’t mention clearance. I only found out when I went in store. I have 6 cats, mostly tiles with some carpeted rooms and area rugs around the house. I have no complaints with it at all, it’s been working great for both vacuuming and mopping. Auto refill base station holds 4L water tank and lasts me days. The auto empty of the dustbin is also on the quieter side compared to some other models I’ve seen. I posted about it a few days ago here, with some screenshots: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/s/Cdp83mQwTq

And I can confirm the Curv is just as bad. So there’s that. Hard floors it is acceptable, but carpet not so much.

If you have any furniture or tight spaces under 10 cm in height then height is a big plus for the saros 10. Mopping performance is likely very similiar between the two. Some tests show advantages for the vibrarise and some for the rotating mops. Might be different depending on what type of floor you have as well. The vibrarise pad works very well on hardwood floors imo. Obstacle avoidance is supposed to be better on saros 10, but i dont know if thats true. I can say it works very well, though not perfect on saros 10. Mainentance of the dock for qrevo is simpler since you can take the whole mopwash module out of the dock.

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.

Seems like a very good robot, it’s a bummer Eufy dropped the ball on Matter support by not including the room selection feature. That was a dealbreaker for me, I just bought a Qrevo Curv instead because of that even though it’s not as good at mopping.

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!

Roborock QRevo Curv for pets. The new designed brush roller is much better for dog hair. I just switched from Roomba to Roborock and it’s night and day how much iRobot is behind other companies.

Roborock QRevo Curv or Narwhal Freo Z Ultra. Both have no tangle brushes and good mopping.

I chose the Curv, Roborock had a better track record, and was generally solid all round performance. The down side is the sub par object avoidance. Narwhal is the better pick, if that's important to you.

QRevo Curv can't reliably avoid cables and cords, IME. Roborock seems to be lacking behind in object avoidance. Stuff like the Narwhal Freo Z Ultra seems better at it.

The obstacle avoidance works better on hard floors than carpets which is why most people that review on YouTube praise the Master. They never test it on carpet. Out of all the Qrevo models the Slim has the best object avoidance due to the inclusion of the front facing lidar. No robot on the market is perfect and the real weakness with Roborock is with object avoidance mostly with cords. With that said it accels with dependability, overall performace, near perfect navigation and has the best app on the market. Here is how I tested the Master and the full results of the object avoidance test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNNffT9q_jc&t=292s

The difference was the water usage only as far as I could tell. the Curv used almost twice as much and it really showed. I had significant streaks on my floors at my house. I gave a lot of weight to this issue in the algo and thats why it dropped so much.

The Vacuum Wars [Best Robot Vacuum Top 20 list ](https://vacuumwars.com/best-vacuum-cleaners/robot-vacuums/)was updated yesterday to reflect the new robot vacuums we have tested in the past 2-3 weeks, as well as a few new algorithm changes. As a result we have a new #1 robot vacuum the Roborock Qrevo Curv! \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Here is the list as of 10/22/204** 1 Roborock Q Revo Curv (new to list) 2 Roborock Q Revo Master 3 Eufy S1 4 Dreame L40 (new to list) 5 Ecovacs T30s 6 Roborock S8 MaxV with Plumbing Option (new to list) 7 Roborock S8 MaxV 8 Roborock Q Revo Maxv 9 Eufy X10 Pro 10 Dreame X30 11 Dreame X40 12 Roborock Q Revo S 13 Yeedi M12 Pro 14 Dreame L20 15 Roborock S8 Pro Ultra 16 Roborock S8+ 17 Dreamtech l10 18 Samsung Bespoke Combo 19 Roborock S8 Max 20 Roomba Combo 10 Max \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Other Robots Added to the Dataset:** I also recently tested the following bots but they did not make the list: Shark Nevertouch Pro #26 Eureka J20 #27 Shark Power Detect #28 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Other Changes to the List** New obstacle avoidance test scores included Updated Amazon review score ratings (done every update) Discontinued products removed (done every update) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ **Upcoming changes:** in addition to testing **a lot of new robots,** I have been adding a pet hair test, which tests their ability to pick up 2.5" flattened hair on carpets, as well as resisting 7" hair tangles, bin size, auto bin frequency options, bin noise, and more. That should shake things up considerably once the scores are added.

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

I have been using the qrevo curv for about 250sqm of space, mostly or about 85% hardfloor without mopping. Its done well. For the remaining 15%, the bathroom tiles, entrance tiles, and kitchen tiles are mopped once or twice a day. It has done a solid job and the battery seems capable of charging quickly enough to handle the whole space.

+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 recently got the “new in the UK” Roborock Qrevo Curv which has the spinning mop. It’s currently rank #4 on Vacuum Wars site. https://vacuumwars.com/best-vacuum-cleaners/robot-vacuums/ https://amzn.eu/d/9NkhTrj So far obstacle avoidance has been great (no dog poop incident yet), it flags up on the app and it has a camera which you can stream live remotely. Some reviewers complained about leaving water streaks (ie. Releasing too much water), however, I have no problem with mine at all. Probably improved via firmware updates after those complaints were out.

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

Till your mop pads start falling off. And you get home to an uncleaned house

No they fall off the device on literally anything that’s on the floor. Check my posts

To me it’s easy choice. The Curv since it has the anti tangling roller and side brush and you mentioned you have cats and person with long hair. If you don’t care about that then get the cheapest. They are both very similar, the Curv dock is a bit easier to maintain but that’s about it. Don’t get the 10R unless it’s heavily discounted or you need top notch obstacles avoidance, or you have thresholds higher than 2cm.

IMO avoid ecovacs, they have tons of app and navigation issues. There a hundreds of posts on Reddit about it and they have really bad track record of it. On vacuumwars is the number one because they test it for half a day and then it goes to the closet and onto the next vacuum, hence that YouTuber is barely a starting point. E25 has no mop only option which for several people is crucial, the vacuum rollers get the dirt stick to them, they suck humidity and the hepa filter gets clogged easier, etc. Master has no antitangling rollers I would recommend Mova Z50 with mopping roller or V50 with a bit more effective antitangling vacuum roller but has spinning pads. On Roborock QRevo Curv or Edge are sweet spot of value on their lineup, spinning pads and excellent antitangling. For Dreame probably the L40s Pro ultra is a good not so expensive option. For Narwal Z Freo Ultra they have really good spinning pads applying good pressure on the floor and the vacuum roller is excellent anti tangling. The only con for me is the lack of onboard water tank which makes it go back often to the station.

It depends on you and how dirty your floors get. I couldn't live without mine, but I live with one cat and two Australian Shepherds and two young adults who may never leave the nest (🥴). Without the daily cleanup from the robot, my life would be unmanageable from the dog hair alone. I have the Qrevo Curv, and I love it. If you're single, have no pets, and tidy... then maybe you don't need one.
