Roborock Qrevo S Robot Vacuum

Verdict

The Roborock Qrevo S delivers near-flagship cleaning and mopping performance at a mid-range price, with strong suction, efficient lidar navigation, and a capable all-in-one dock. It ranks in the reviewer’s top 10 robots and is considered a standout value, but its obstacle avoidance is among the weakest and it lacks some camera-based and self-cleaning extras. It is best suited for buyers who prioritize everyday cleaning performance and price over cutting-edge smart features or reliable obstacle dodging.

Pros

  • Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup 1 review 5.0
    Carpet pickup is considered very good, with the Qrevo S matching premium Roborock models in deep-clean tests and reliably removing embedded debris on typical home carpets.
  • Crevice / Groove Pickup (Hard Floors) 1 review 5.0
    Crevice pickup on hard floors is reported as well above average, with the Qrevo S pulling debris effectively from gaps and grooves compared with most other robot vacuums.
  • Mop lifting system 1 review 5.0
    The mop-lifting system automatically raises the twin mop pads when carpet is detected, letting the robot vacuum and mop mixed hard-floor and carpet areas in one run without soaking rugs.
  • Noise level 1 review 4.8
    The Qrevo S is among the quietest Roborocks tested, with average noise just under or around 50 dB that makes it notably less intrusive than the Q series while still delivering strong everyday cleaning.
  • Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries) 1 review 4.8
    Filters and dust bags are inexpensive over time, with long-term consumable costs for the Qrevo S ranking among the lowest in Roborock’s current lineup.
  • Suction & Airflow 2 reviews 4.8
    Suction and airflow are described as above average, matching higher-end Roborock models in airflow and deep-clean tests and delivering very strong everyday pickup on both hard floors and carpets.
  • Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) 2 reviews 4.5
    Lidar-based navigation maps the floorplan quickly and cleans with above-average coverage and efficiency, with test runs showing performance comparable to the pricier Qrevo Master.
  • AI, Smart & App / Automation 1 review 4.5
    The Roborock app is described as full-featured and easy to use, offering mapping and cleaning controls similar to higher-end models and earning strong ratings on both iOS and Android.
  • Battery & Charging 1 review 4.5
    Battery life is rated at 180 minutes and real-world testing shows above-average efficiency, with the robot covering over 1,200 feet per charge and performing similarly to Roborock’s higher-end models.
  • Controls & UI 1 review 4.5
  • Docking & Auto‑Empty Reliability (Robot) 1 review 4.5
    The multifunction dock is praised as a major convenience, reliably auto-emptying the dustbin, washing and drying the mop pads, and refilling the water tank, even though it lacks some of the advanced self-cleaning and sensing features of Roborock’s flagship docks.
  • Ease of use 1 review 4.5
  • Emptying & Mess Control 1 review 4.5
  • Mopping performance 4 reviews 4.3
    Mopping performance is solid for a mid-range combo robot, scoring above average in dried-on stain tests and leaving floors noticeably cleaner in a single pass, roughly matching higher-end Roborocks though still trailing the most powerful scrubbers like the S8 MaxV.
  • Price & Value 3 reviews 4.2
    The Qrevo S is consistently praised for exceptional value, offering most flagship-level cleaning and docking features and a top-10 ranking on best-of lists at roughly half the price of Roborock’s top models.
  • Overall opinion 5 reviews 4.1
    Overall, the Qrevo S is regarded as one of the best mid-range robot vacuums, combining strong cleaning, robust navigation, and a convenient dock with low ownership costs and a relatively low price, ranking near the top of updated top-20 lists despite weak obstacle avoidance and only average hair handling.
  • Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 1 review 4.0
    On hard floors, the Qrevo S reliably clears most flour, oatmeal, and cereal, though small amounts of debris can remain underneath or as a few leftover cornflakes compared with the very best performers.
  • Self-cleaning cycle 2 reviews 3.5
    Compared with Roborock’s flagship models, the Qrevo S dock does not offer automatic base self-cleaning and instead relies on a removable tray for occasional manual deep cleaning.
  • Comparative performance 1 review 3.5

Cons

  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 1 review 2.5
    Hair-wrap resistance is only fair, as both short and long hair tests leave noticeable coils around the brush that fall off when removed but require occasional manual cleanup.
  • Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 4 reviews 2.0
    Obstacle avoidance is one of the Qrevo S’s weakest points; while it may miss some larger objects, testing shows it often clips items and scores near the bottom of obstacle tests, so owners are advised to pick up clutter and not rely on this feature.
