Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X Robot Vacuum and Mop

Verdict

The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X is an excellent choice for homes with mostly hard floors that want strong vacuuming, capable mopping, and minimal day-to-day maintenance. It is less ideal for heavily carpeted spaces or rooms with lots of loose cables, but offers standout value among premium robot vacuums if you can manage those limitations.

Pros

  • Dirty water sensor 3 reviews 5.0
  • Privacy controls 3 reviews 5.0
  • Docking & Auto‑Empty Reliability (Robot) 1 review 5.0
  • Hair Pickup — Hard Floors 1 review 5.0
    On hard floors the S5X excels at picking up loose hair, efficiently channeling strands into the intake so surfaces with pet or human hair are left looking very clean after routine runs.
  • AI, Smart & App / Automation 5 reviews 4.8
    The Roborock app adds practical controls like two-pass deep cleans, water flow adjustment, quick zone cleaning and scheduled routines, while voice-assistant support and broad personalization make automation easy for different homes.
  • Maintenance requirements 4 reviews 4.8
  • Ease of use 5 reviews 4.7
    A multifunction dock with auto-empty, auto-refill, hot-water pad washing and heated drying, combined with app scheduling and routines, means routine ownership mostly involves occasional tank refills and bag changes that the app helps you track.
  • Mopping performance 5 reviews 4.7
    Retractable rotating mop pads provide strong wet-cleaning performance, erasing everyday grime and even muddy paw prints in a pass or two while dock-managed re-mop cycles and pad washing keep mopping effective over long runs.
  • Water tank 5 reviews 4.7
    A dock-mounted clean and dirty water tank automatically supplies and recovers mopping water, with generous capacities that limit refills while app controls adjust wetness for consistent pad saturation.
  • Aesthetic design & finish 3 reviews 4.7
    The S5X pairs a bright, glossy white Stormtrooper-like robot with a smooth, furniture-style dock that tucks neatly against a wall, giving it a clean modern look that blends well into living spaces.
  • Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 3 reviews 4.7
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 3 reviews 4.7
    A split roller and central intake gap help guide longer hair into the airflow instead of wrapping tightly around bristles, so hair buildup on the brush is limited and detangling is needed only occasionally.
  • Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) 3 reviews 4.7
    Lidar navigation builds accurate maps quickly and sends the robot on orderly passes across rooms, with optional second-pass patterns and reliable room-based scheduling for efficient whole-home coverage.
  • Mop lifting system 3 reviews 4.7
  • Suction & Airflow 3 reviews 4.7
    With up to 17000 Pascals of suction, the S5X delivers strong airflow that lifts dust and hair effectively on hard floors, though its raw suction does not fully overcome limitations on some carpets.
  • Overall opinion 4 reviews 4.6
    Reviews describe the S5X as a top-recommended variant that delivers excellent vacuuming and mopping with low day-to-day maintenance, best suited to homes with mostly hard floors and fewer loose cables rather than heavily carpeted spaces.
  • Corner Cleaning (Robot) 5 reviews 4.6
    A FlexiArm side brush and extendable right-side mop let the S5X reach deeply into corners and along baseboards, often leaving edges clean in a single pass with only occasional follow-up needed.
  • Assembly and Setup 1 review 4.5
    Setup is simple thanks to QR code pairing, a guided Wi-Fi wizard, and automatic map creation, so most users can go from unboxing to the first cleaning run in just a few straightforward steps.
  • Controls & UI 1 review 4.5
    Between the clear in-app controls for cleaning modes, suction and dock behavior, and simple physical buttons on the robot, users can quickly start jobs, adjust settings and enable features like Do Not Disturb.
  • Dock noise 1 review 4.5
  • Packaging quality 1 review 4.5
    Packaging for the Qrevo Curv S5X is large and heavy but sturdy, clearly labeled with photos and feature highlights so buyers know what to expect and unboxing is straightforward if slightly bulky.
  • Pet-Ready Features 1 review 4.5
    The S5X is well suited to homes with pets or long hair, reliably lifting hair from hard floors while its main brush and airflow keep shedding from building up on surfaces.
  • Price & Value 5 reviews 4.4
    At a premium but often discounted price around the low four figures, it combines strong suction, excellent mopping, and a capable dock, offering standout value versus pricier Curv models for buyers who do not need a camera or extra chassis lift.
  • Bin & Bag 3 reviews 4.3
    An auto-empty dock pulls debris from the onboard bin into a disposable dust bag that usually lasts around seven weeks, keeping dust contained while making bag changes quick and mess-free.
  • Low-profile design 1 review 4.0
  • Noise level 1 review 4.0
    Noise levels stay pleasantly low during typical mopping and standard vacuum modes, rising to a brief but louder burst during MAX+ suction and auto-empty cycles that most users find acceptable.
  • Under-Furniture Pickup 1 review 4.0
  • Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 5 reviews 3.7
    Camera-free obstacle avoidance uses sensors and lasers to steer around toys, furniture and general clutter effectively, but loose power cords and charging cables can still snag the robot and occasionally leave it stuck.
  • Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries) 1 review 3.5
    Ongoing ownership costs are driven mainly by disposable dust bags, filters and brushes, which need replacement every few months but are widely available online in affordable multi-packs.

Cons

  • Carpet — Low-Pile Pickup 1 review 2.5
    The S5X can climb onto large low-pile rugs up to about 2 cm, but its carpet pickup lags behind its hard-floor performance and often benefits from a second pass to remove embedded dirt.
  • Accessories & Tools 1 review 2.0
    The robot ships with only the basics, including two mop pads and a spare dust bag, so owners should expect to buy extra bags and brushes within a few months if they clean frequently.
  • Adaptive chassis lift 1 review 2.0
  • Stuck resistance 1 review 2.0
    While it clears thresholds and sturdy rugs well, the robot is prone to getting hung up on light bath mats and scattered cables, which can stop cleaning progress until a user frees it.
