Roborock Qrevo S Review: A Handy Robot for Everyday Cleaning

The Roborock Qrevo S is a robotic vacuum and mop combo designed for folks who hate cleaning. It's got a lot of fancy features like self-drying, auto mop washing, and a whopping 7000Pa suction power. I decided to try it out and see if it really made cleaning 'smarter and stress-free' as they claim.

On paper, it sounds pretty solid with its smart obstacle avoidance and multi-level mapping. But we all know how things can look great on paper and be a letdown in real life. So, I put it to the test to see how it handles everyday messes.

After using it for a couple of weeks, I’ve got some thoughts to share, both good and not so good. It tackled some tasks better than others, and there are definitely things I liked, but it's not perfect.

In this review, I’ll break down my experience using the Qrevo S, looking at its design, performance, battery life, and overall value. Let’s see if it lives up to the hype.

When it comes to value, the Roborock Qrevo S is priced in the higher range for robot vacuums, but it does come with a lot of features. The multifunctional dock with self-emptying and auto mop washing is a big plus and saves you some hassle. Over a few weeks of use, I found these features to be pretty reliable and worth the extra cost.

Compared to other vacuums in its class, the Qrevo S holds its own in terms of functionality. The 7000Pa suction power and the dual spinning mop feature are not just gimmicky add-ons—they genuinely enhance cleaning performance. For someone who wants a low-maintenance cleaning experience, it could be a decent investment.

However, if you’re on a tight budget, there are cheaper options out there that still offer solid cleaning capabilities. They might lack some of the advanced features like auto mop washing or self-drying, but they get the basic job done. So, it really depends on how much you value convenience over cost.

In conclusion, the Qrevo S offers good value for those willing to spend a bit more for the convenience of advanced features. If budget is less of a concern, you’ll probably appreciate the added technology and ease of use.

First off, the design of the Roborock Qrevo S is pretty sleek. It’s got this futuristic vibe with its black finish, which I think looks good in most homes. The build quality feels solid too, which is always a plus. At 25.5 pounds, it’s not exactly light, but since it’s a robotic vacuum, you won’t be hauling it around much anyway.

The docking station is a bit bulky, but it packs some cool features like auto mop washing and self-emptying, which I found quite convenient. The detachable dock base is a nice touch, making it easier to clean the dock itself. I wouldn't say it's the most compact design out there, but it gets the job done without feeling too intrusive.

In terms of navigation, the Qrevo S comes equipped with PreciSense LiDAR Navigation and 3D Mapping Technology. It’s pretty impressive to watch it create detailed maps of your home. It’s also got a 10mm auto mop lifting feature, which is handy for transitioning between different floor types. This feature worked well in my apartment, allowing it to mop and vacuum seamlessly.

Overall, the design is functional, and while it’s not groundbreaking, it seems to be built to last. The features are well-integrated, and it’s easy to see where some thoughtful engineering went into the design.

The Qrevo S is powered by a battery that gives it a decent runtime of up to 180 minutes. This is pretty good compared to some competitors. In my testing, it managed to cover my apartment on a single charge without needing to head back to the dock halfway through.

The charging time is reasonable, and the auto-docking feature worked seamlessly. It always found its way back to the dock without any hiccups, which is crucial for maintaining the battery life without unnecessary drain.

One thing worth noting is that it only supports 100V-120V, so if you’re in a region with different voltage standards, you might need a converter. The dock itself is pretty efficient with its self-emptying and refilling features. It really cuts down on the hands-on maintenance time you’ll spend.

Overall, the battery life is one of the Qrevo S’s strong points. If you’ve got a larger home, you might need to recharge before doing a second round, but for most apartments and smaller homes, the battery life should be more than sufficient.

Performance-wise, the Qrevo S packs a punch with its 7000Pa suction power. This thing sucks up dust and dirt pretty effectively. I’ve got mixed flooring in my house, and it cleaned both hardwood and carpets without much fuss. The dual spinning mops at 200 RPM also handled dried-on messes better than I expected.

What really stood out to me was the smart obstacle avoidance. It managed to avoid most of the hazards in my cluttered living room. I didn’t have to babysit it or rescue it from getting stuck. The app, which supports 2.4G WiFi, offers some nice controls like setting no-go zones, which I found handy.

One area where it could improve is the noise level. While it's described as low noise, I found it a bit louder than some other robots I’ve tried. It’s not a deal-breaker, but if you’re sensitive to noise, keep that in mind. I also noticed that it sometimes misses edges, but it’s relatively minor.

Overall, the performance is solid for daily cleaning tasks. It’s not perfect and might require a little manual touch-up in corners, but it handles most jobs effectively.
