Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A Robot Vacuum and Mop

Verdict

The Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A matches the Curv S5X on cleaning power, mopping performance, smart mapping, and hands-off dock features while costing a bit less. Its dock and tanks look more industrial and exposed, but it still offers the same privacy friendly camera free design and strong everyday performance. It is an excellent choice if you prioritize value and function over a sleeker dock aesthetic.

Pros

  • AI, Smart & App / Automation 1 review 5.0
    Shares the same Roborock app as the Curv model, with Lidar maps, no-go zones, schedules, and toggles for features like remopping and mop wetness that help automate everyday cleaning.
  • Corner Cleaning (Robot) 1 review 5.0
    An extending side mop pad and side brush let it reach tightly along walls and into corners, providing strong edge and corner coverage during both vacuuming and mopping runs.
  • Dirty water sensor 1 review 5.0
    A dock-based sensor monitors how dirty the recovered mop water is and can automatically send the robot back for a perpendicular remopping pass whenever it detects unusually dirty water.
  • Ease of use 1 review 5.0
    Auto-empty and auto-refill features, plus simple app controls for passes and zones, make it easy to set up and rely on daily without extensive tinkering or supervision.
  • Maintenance requirements 1 review 5.0
    The 3.0 dock handles auto-empty, auto-refill, hot-water pad washing and heated drying, so regular maintenance is mostly topping up clean water, replacing the dust bag, and occasionally emptying the dirty tank.
  • Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) 1 review 5.0
    Lidar navigation builds accurate floor maps and sends the robot on orderly paths, while the live map view makes it easy to see which areas have been covered during a run.
  • Mopping performance 1 review 5.0
    Spinning mop pads, hot-water dock washing, and automatic remopping events let it erase muddy paw prints in one or two passes, leaving hard floors looking very clean.
  • Overall opinion 1 review 5.0
    Reviews portray the Edge S5A as functionally identical to the Curv S5X in cleaning quality, earning strong recommendations as an excellent robot vacuum and mop, especially at its lower price.
  • Price & Value 1 review 5.0
    Typically selling for roughly 900 to 1,100 dollars, it delivers the same cleaning performance and dock features as the Curv S5X while costing about 100 to 200 dollars less, making it a standout value choice.
  • Privacy controls 1 review 5.0
    By dropping the camera but keeping advanced sensors, it appeals to privacy-conscious buyers who want smart mapping and obstacle detection without in-home photography or video streaming.
  • Bin & Bag 1 review 4.5
    An auto-empty chute pulls debris from the onboard bin into a dock bag, while identical robot dust bins and filters make it straightforward to empty or rinse when needed.
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 1 review 4.5
    The dual divide brush is designed with a center gap that channels long hairs into the suction path, helping to limit how much pet or human hair wraps tightly around the roller.
  • Mop lifting system 1 review 4.5
    A carpet sensor lifts the mop pads by about a centimeter when the robot rolls onto rugs, allowing mixed vacuum and mop jobs without soaking carpeted areas.
  • Water tank 1 review 4.5
    Matching clean and dirty water tanks feed an internal reservoir, with app-controlled wetness, and the user adds cleaning solution directly into the clean tank when extra floor cleaner is desired.

Cons

  • Aesthetic design & finish 1 review 3.0
    The Edge uses an exposed dock with visible tanks and a robot that sits forward, giving it a more industrial look than the Curv’s hidden, furniture-like base.
  • Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 1 review 3.0
    Reactive AI obstacle avoidance generally steers around larger toys and objects but can still drive over low cables, giving overall decent but imperfect avoidance in cluttered rooms.
