Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A Robot Vacuum and Mop

Pros

• Odor control 4.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.8
  Hot-water washing plus hot/warm air drying helps keep mop pads fresh, and at least one real-home review explicitly reports no lingering smells after repeated runs.
• Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 4.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.8
  Hair-wrap resistance is one of the biggest strengths: the DuoDivide brush and redesigned side brush greatly reduce tangles. In extreme stress tests, some hair may channel to the center and require a quick manual pull, but it is easy to clear.
• Hair Pickup — Hard Floors 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.7
  Hair pickup on hard floors is a standout, including long and even slightly damp strands, with users reporting thorough collection and minimal cleanup afterward.
• Runtime (Measured, Default) 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.7
  Measured low-suction runtime and coverage are impressive in testing, with the robot covering roughly 3,947 sq ft before reaching 0% battery, which is above average.
• Assembly and Setup 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.7
  Setup is described as straightforward: attach the ramp, plug in the dock, charge, pair to Wi‑Fi, and fill the clean water tank. Most reviewers report quick, hassle-free first run and mapping.
• AI, Smart & App / Automation 4.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.7
  Automation and smart features are a highlight: schedules, no-go/no-mop zones, multi-floor maps, granular suction and water control, assistant integrations, and dock control. Obstacle detection relies on structured-light style sensing rather than a camera on this model.
• Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.6
  LiDAR-based navigation earns strong marks for fast, accurate mapping and efficient room coverage. Multi-floor support and reliable pathing are repeatedly highlighted as core strengths.
• Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  Hard-floor fine dust pickup is repeatedly described as strong, including successfully collecting very fine particles like powdery debris without leaving a visible film.
• Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  Handles larger debris well on hard floors, such as crumbs, rice, and oatmeal, often clearing scattered mess in a single run or a couple of passes.
• Pet-Ready Features 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  Well-suited to pet homes thanks to excellent hair pickup and anti-tangle brush design. It lacks camera-based pet recognition features found on higher models, but day-to-day pet hair cleanup is a standout.
• Docking & Auto-Empty Reliability (Robot) 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.6
  Docking and automation are consistently reliable in reviews: automatic dust emptying, water refilling, mop washing, and drying generally work as expected. The tradeoff is a larger dock footprint compared with simpler stations.
• Self-cleaning cycle 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.6
  The dock automates mop washing, pad drying, water refills, and in some cases self-cleaning of the base tray. Reviews generally find these cycles effective and appreciate the reduced hands-on maintenance.
• Controls & UI 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.6
  The Roborock app and controls are repeatedly called intuitive and customizable, with clear UI for maps, routines, suction, and water levels. Live video-style viewing is not available on this model, but core control is polished.
• Clogging & debris prevention 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.6
  The brush and dock system handle heavy hair and mixed debris without frequent clogs, and auto-emptying is reported to work without choking on hair. Occasional checks are still advisable, but clogging is not a common complaint.
• Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.6
  Edge and baseboard cleaning is a consistent strength, helped by an extending mop pad and flex arm side brush that can reach right up to walls. It is often described as better than most robot mops, though not always perfect in tight corners.
• Emptying & Mess Control 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 7 reviews 4.6
  Auto-emptying to a sealed bag keeps dust handling clean and hands off, and swapping bags is reported to be quick with minimal mess. This is a major convenience advantage for frequent cleaning.
• Privacy controls 4.6 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.6
  The absence of a front-facing camera means no live video monitoring, which many see as a privacy benefit. The tradeoff is weaker camera-assisted obstacle recognition and fewer monitoring features compared with models that include an RGB camera.
• Mopping performance 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.5
  Mopping performance is widely praised: dual spinning pads, adjustable water output, and frequent pad washing produce clean, refreshed hard floors. Sticky dried stains may take multiple passes, but everyday grime is handled very well.
• Water tank 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.5
  The clean/dirty water tank setup is a key convenience feature; reviewers cite large tanks (around 4 L clean and ~3.5 L dirty in one real-home test) and automatic onboard refills. This enables multiple full clean-and-mop sessions before needing attention.
• Noise level 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.5
  Generally quieter than many competitors; peak loudness is cited around 70 dB on higher suction, and real-home testing reports low disruption (pets barely reacting).
• Fresh Liquid Pickup Speed 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
  Fresh liquid pickup is reported as effective when mopping up spills like a glass of water, with the spinning pads absorbing and clearing liquid without leaving notable residue.
• Bin & Bag 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.5
  Uses a dock dust-bag system that empties cleanly and is easy to swap with minimal mess. Reported replacement cadence ranges from roughly 30–60 days to about 2–3 months depending on debris load.
• Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 4.5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.5
  Carpet cleaning is generally rated strong for the tier, including an above-average deep-cleaning score in testing and good pickup on rugs. Performance is not positioned as flagship-level, but it is consistently described as effective.
• Mop lifting system 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
  The mop lifting system (about 10 mm) works well for most rugs and carpets and helps prevent wetting during transitions. Very plush/high-pile carpet can still be challenging without using vacuum-first settings.
• Suction & Airflow 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
  Strong rated suction (up to 18,500 Pa) and consistently good real-world pickup, even when lab airflow/pressure measures slightly below average. Overall cleaning results on hard floors and rugs are described as above average for the price tier.
• Heating element 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 8 reviews 4.4
  The dock uses heated processes (hot water mop washing and warm/hot air drying). Some testing questions whether advertised maximum water temperature is reached, but the heating still appears effective for pad cleaning and drying.
• Maintenance requirements 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
  Maintenance is largely hands off thanks to the auto-empty and mop-wash dock, plus reduced hair tangling. Users still need to replace bags, rinse/clean the dock tray occasionally, and maintain filters and pads.
• Accessories & Tools 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.4
  The box contents are comprehensive for an all-in-one robot: dock, ramp, mop pads, power cord, an extra dust bag, and printed guides, making it easy to get started without extra purchases.
• Hair-removal channel issues 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.4
  When hair does collect, it tends to channel toward the center of the split brush, making it quick to remove by hand. This is described as manageable rather than a major snagging problem.
• Edge‑Following Accuracy (Robot) 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.4
  Edge-following is strong, with the robot staying close to walls and the mop pad reaching into baseboard lines. Reviewers often show it maintaining contact better than typical robot mops.
• Corner Cleaning (Robot) 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 9 reviews 4.4
  Corner cleaning improves notably thanks to an extending side brush, leaving corners visibly cleaner than many robots. Some reviews still note a small amount of leftover debris in tight corners.
• Battery & Charging 4.4 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.4
  Battery life is repeatedly called a strong point, with a large battery and long runtimes on lower suction settings. Higher suction drains faster, and some testing shows max-power coverage below average, but typical mixed use is expected to fall in between.
• Low-profile design 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.3
  The robot is relatively slim for a LiDAR-top model (around 4 inches / ~9.8 cm), helping it fit under more furniture than many competitors. It is still taller than ultra-thin flagships that remove the top LiDAR turret.
• Hair Pickup — Carpets 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.3
  Carpet hair pickup is usually strong, especially on rugs, though a few tests still show small amounts of hair remaining after a pass. Overall performance is described as better than average for this tier.
• Dried-On Stain Removal 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 reviews 4.3
  Handles common dried messes well, including muddy paw prints and dried coffee, often improving significantly on a second pass. Tougher stains like dried ketchup may require multiple passes and sometimes manual intervention.
• Price & Value 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.3
  Value is strongest when discounted, with multiple reviewers calling sale pricing an excellent deal versus higher models with cameras or chassis lift. At full price it sits in an upper mid-tier range and may feel expensive if you mainly want top obstacle avoidance.
• Under-Furniture Pickup 4.3 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.3
  Its relatively low height helps it reach under furniture and low cabinetry where many robots miss dust. At least one real-home test highlights under-cabinet cleaning as a major day-to-day benefit.
• Streaking / Residue 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 6 reviews 4.2
  Mopping is typically reported as streak free on hard flooring, but heavy muddy messes can smear on an initial pass before pad washing and follow-up cleaning improves the result.
• Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries) 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.2
  Consumables are typical for an auto-empty robot: dust bags and periodic filter cleaning/replacement. Reported bag life of 30–60 days (or 2–3 months) helps keep ongoing costs manageable, but you may also buy cleaning solution since it is manually dosed.
• Area Rug Handling 4.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.2
  Mop pads lift when carpet/rugs are detected and many users report rugs staying dry during transitions. Very high-pile carpets may still get damp depending on settings, so vacuum-first routines can be helpful.
• Dirty water sensor 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 4 reviews 4.1
  The dock dirt-detection and remopping concept can work well (for example, triggering a second pass after muddy paw prints). However, other testing reports it did not reliably detect certain dried stains, making the behavior inconsistent.
• Comparative performance 4.1 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.1
  Across comparisons, the S5A is framed as upper mid-tier: strong fundamentals and automation, but behind flagships in obstacle avoidance sophistication and premium extras. Many reviewers still consider it a sweet spot when priced well.
• Storage footprint & upright-stand stability 3.8 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 3.8
  The dock is described as larger because it houses clean/dirty tanks and the auto-empty system, so it needs dedicated floor space. Some comparisons note it is narrower than certain flagship docks, but it is still a sizable station.
• Aesthetic design & finish 3.7 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.7
  Design is generally viewed as modern and clean, though some reviewers prefer the more premium-looking alternatives (for example Curv or flagships). The dock can look a bit industrial, but the robot and station still fit well in most rooms.
