Roborock - Qrevo Curv S5X

If you do compare feature on vacum wars web site You can see which has matter Recommend a robo rock qrevo for auto mation Eco vac t50 pro Omni is $600 n does matter n has mop n vac but I dint like the navigation so went back to robo rock qrevo s5a But robo rock is more $. Bout $850 You get what you pay for

We have a q revo and it’s great

Get a roborock QRevo curve or slim. Roborock is one of the top robot vacuum manufacturers. It vacuums and mops. The app is awesome. The charging station empties out the vacuum’s dust bin, cleans and dries the mop, and senses of it needs to re-mop. It won’t be cheap, but it’s what you want.

Nvm found it, Yeah I see the Curve S5X only negative thing is that it has Reactive Tech and that obstacle avoidance is even worse than my older S8 :/

I found the obstacle avoidance on the Qrevo series to be pretty disappointing. Switched to Dreame L40 and have been very happy. They almost never grab a cord.

Why are robot vacuum model names so confusing? Anyway, I bought the Roborock Q Revo L (Australian model I think?) in the last Amazon sale and it's been lovely. The spinning mop heads actually work better than I expected - they obviously won't pick up everything like stubborn stains but they do a 90% job every time. I have the one with the auto emptying dustbin, auto refilling and auto emptying water tanks, auto mop washing, and it's great - probably the best money I've spent all year. It does tend to get pretty dirty though, and the area where it washes and dries the mops tends to get a bit gunky and needs a good scrub pretty much weekly. Disclaimer: I've never owned a robot vacuum before this, so I could just be wowed by the whole thing in general rather than the specifics of this particular model

I'm not sure what is actively considered a top vacuum but something I've learned the hard way is to make sure the robot has a setting to empty the dustbin periodically or else it will go through a whole run, then try to empty the dustbin and the charging station will get clogged trying to suck the large clump of hair into the dust bag. I have a qrevo and really love the robot but the fact roborock doesn't currently have an option to empty the dustbin every 100 sqft or so, means that I have had to set up separate schedules for each room so it goes back to the dock to empty the dustbin between each room. It's frustrating.

I would recommend the qrevo edge for its large tanks as its a curv with a different dock. I just went through two dreame flagships, x50 ultra and aqua10 ultra roller and they were hot garbage. Poor navigation, poor battery life, cheap construction and poor support are just some of the issues I faced while having them. Dark colors make them error out and low light conditions will cause navigation issues. I currently have a 2024 qrevo curv and 2025 qrevo curvx as I run two robots to clean the house every day on a 3 schedule cycle each. Roborock's app is the best and the Dreame app is buggy and laggy to use. Duo divide brushes will not tangle, the dreame double roller will tangle and it doesn't pick up as well as normal vacuums even with a higher pa rating. Just a dad, vacuum wars and vacuum nerds offer lots of videos for you to compare different models. No robot is perfect but Roborock is like the Toyota of robot vacuums.

My Roborock quervo that I got two weeks ago has been incredible. We had a shark matrix because it didn’t have bags, but made a compromise to upgrade. It is like watching a Zamboni drive across the floor when it is mopping.

Its a proven fact that some of the best cleaning robots do not possess the highest pa ratings. My 2024 curv has 18.5k and my curvx has 22k and both do very well with particle pickup. I had a Dreame aqua10 ultra roller with 30k and it couldn't do as well as they do.

I've got one, here's my experience with it: [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1fwfz/what\_leveltype\_of\_navigationobject\_avoidance\_is/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1fwfz/what_leveltype_of_navigationobject_avoidance_is/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m2ct18/dog\_acting\_funny\_vacuum\_not\_charging/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m2ct18/dog_acting_funny_vacuum_not_charging/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1flq0/qrevo\_5ae\_freeing\_up\_time\_for\_our\_puppy/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1m1flq0/qrevo_5ae_freeing_up_time_for_our_puppy/) It seems good, it does bump a bit more into things such as corners than I would have thought, this might be normal for a robot vacuum though, it's my first one so I can't really compare. At the moment it does everything I want from it, only thing I'd like is a bit better obstacle avoidance, specifically not climbing on furniture.

I’ve had iRobots, Exocets, Samsung, Deebot, Eufy, and now a Roborock Qrevo Curve and hands down the curve is the best I’ve owned. It uses less water which means less refilling, it’s obstacle avoidance is great, especially if you leave lights on for it, and it just performs much better in my household than the Omni T20 it replaced. Now the T20 is on main bedroom duty (we have dog gates, so one robot can’t do it all) We have 0 carpet though, and no rugs, so I can’t speak to any of that. But the dual roller design has cured the need for constant detangling of the brushes - we have 4 long haired humans and a 4 dogs, one sheds constantly. It’s been a game changer. I got it for $1,099 and literally would buy another one if something happened to this one.

Bigger dustbin + good use of dustbin when it comes to fur (no empty space should be in the dustbin when fur clogs it) + frequent autoemptying = better for dealing with hair and fur. For a vacuum only model, the roborock Q5 Max+ and the Q8 Max+ have a sizeable dustbin and uses the dustbin space well and has an autoempty station. The dual rollers help with fur pickup. In the US Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra fulfills these requirements as a combo model. So does the MOVA V50 Ultra for Canadian customers. The QRevo series has the same issue with some dreame models where the dustbin will be clogged with fur but there’ll be a lot of empty space on the sides. It’ll be good for picking up fur on carpets with its dual brushes but I think the eufy X8 should be better for dealing with finer dust.

The Roborock is a big hit, it's also very quiet (under the 65 dB mark). Also check out the Eufy on this list for under $500.... [https://www.soundproofgenius.com/get-a-quiet-robot-vacuum/](https://www.soundproofgenius.com/get-a-quiet-robot-vacuum/)

How tall are the thresholds? Most can handle 2cm with no issue but only the x40 ultra (24mm) and the QRevo Curv/Edge (30mm for a single threshold, 40mm for two consecutive thresholds that are 30mm +10mm) handle higher. Otherwise, you’d have to use a ramp

If you’re getting roborock and want to be budget conscious, I’d get the Curv S5X

Also owning an OG QRevo. The mop cleaning is noisy enough through doors and we have a decent difference in floor height between rooms that always takes it a few attempts to lift itself over. Not mentioning emptying the bin at the end of a cycle. It’s a decent machine. Will continue to use it till it breaks down permanently (wasn’t an inexpensive purchase for us).

Roborock Q Revo series. Punches way above midrange pricing. We love our Q Revo Slim. 

I'm using Roborock Qrevo right now. The price is budget-friendly, and the integration is native (support local based on the document). 

Yes, absolutely! I have a self emptying, self cleaning robot mop and vacuum from Roborock and it is SO worth it IMO. I’ve had cheap, middle range and expensive and the only one I use is the one that self cleans etc. It is worth it, I think.

Generally: Dreame will have the best edge cleaning. This is on the x30 ultra and newer with the L/X40 ultra and newer models having an extendable side brush with the best extension algorithm right now. Mop extension lacks a spring which means it can ride up on quarter round floor moldings if your home has any. Roborock Saros 10R and the QRevo Edge/Curv are nice choices if there are no cables or pet accidents for it to eat. Narwal is a very solid option. The Freo Z ultra has the best smart cleaning mode. It’s okay taking care of things like hair and visible dust but still isn’t as good as vacuuming as it is at mopping. Eufy s1 pro is a very solid mopping option. Won’t edge clean as well as the above models but mops pretty well.

> -It should automatically clean the pads in the charging station with hot water and automatically refill the robot with cleaning solution and water. I don’t believe the Curv has a dedicated detergent tank for this so you’d manually have to add some detergent to the clean water tanks -I want as little effort as possible, except for filling and emptying the tanks. You still should tap the dust out of the filter once every few cleaning runs, and give the robot and its home a good clean once every two to three weeks if run daily.

I’m pretty happy with the Costco qrevo and I have 2 cats. I set it to vacuum everyday and mop every other day. Before mopping, I have it set to vacuum twice around the litter box area.

Best anti-tangling system on Roborocks is the Duo Divide brush, that is two half brushes with the gap in the center. You find it in any Qrevo Curv, Qrevo Edge and Saros 10 / 10R. If you don't need \- Climbing high thresholds \- Camera+Video \- Voice assistant then you could consider the light variants Qrevo Edge S5A or Qrevo Curv S5X. You may choose Curv or Edge just from the dock design. The robots are quite the same.

You can set a cleaning order. with the Qrevo Curve it’s possible and the app shouldn’t be much different

After daily vacuuming then mopping, my hardwood floors became notably softer and had a shine. I’d recommend robots with roller mops or spinning mops. For roller mop robots, I’d recommend the eufy S1 (Pro), eufy E25/E28, MOVA Z50 Ultra, and the Narwal Flow. All of these robots except for the eufy E25/E28 will have good obstacle avoidance. For spinning mop robots, I’d recommend dreame/MOVA robots with the AceClean/jetspray dryboard, the Narwal Freo line with an all in one base station, the roborock qrevo line. If obstacle avoidance is important, I’d consider the Dreame L40S Pro Ultra, L/X50 Ultra and the Narwal Z/Z10 Ultra.

How tall is the piece of transition? For a single one up to 30mm, the roborock models with the AdaptiLift chassis (the most expensive QRevo Curv/Edge and the Saros line). Anything higher up to 4.2cm, if a threshold is less than 9cm long (5.2cm if it is at least 9cm long), will need the Dreame X50 Ultra or any equivalent MOVA model (V50 Ultra). I am aware that Dreame's L/X50 Ultra and any model (such as MOVA's V50 Ultra or the rare UK-only Dreame L40s Pro Ultra) that uses dual conical brushes has a *live fur compression* feature (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOOU0uJsVdU), which helps mitigate the issue of pet fur clogging the dustbin, even though the space isn't fully utilized. I saw it in action, and I think it lives up to its claim. It also cleans its filter when auto-emptying. This should be helpful for homes with heavy shedders such as yours\~ For paw prints, I think a robot that can identify messes like this and act accordingly would be important too. Dreame and Narwal do well with this if you turn on certain functions, such as their smart cleaning mode and intelligent mess detection.

Do you actually own the saros 10r or the curv x? If so, how much of a difference in obstacle avoidance is there really? I have watched every video out there on both of them and it seems like every reviewer comes up with vastly different conclusions. One says they vacuum very well, others report, at least with the 10r, some of the worst carpet vacuuming imaginable, way behind drastically cheaper and older bots. For my use, obstacle avoidance is huge. I have an original q revo, but it doesn't get ran nearly as much as it should because I can't set it on a schedule. Unless I do a full sweep of the house to pick up all of the kids toys, shoes, cords etc it will inevitably get stuck on something rendering it useless until I get home to clear the blockage. Kind of defeats the purpose.

Most robo vacs can only handle thresholds up to 2cm. The highest climber is the Dreame X50 Ultra. It's ProLeap extendible "legs" allows it to climb up single thresholds up to 6cm, so it should easily handle 4cm. Roborok's Qrevo Curv series can lift it's chassis over obstacles up to 4cm if it's a double step. Alternatively, you could consider adding a ramp, double step, or a thick pile rug in front of the threshold to reduce the hight for a vac. If not, then you'll want to get a vac that has good multi floor support in the app and have the two levels setup as floors but that will involve manual intervention when you want to vacuum the alternative level.

X50 ultra died on the dock on day 2 but when it was working the battery drained fast and navigation was sporadic. Sent it back and got an aqua10 ultra roller that would error out when approaching dark colored rugs and mats stalling forcing a person to physically rescue it. Mop cover generated random errors which would stall it out and again someone would have to go rescue it. It also suffered from rapid battery drain like the x50. Unit could not navigate in the dining room using its own lighting and had poor navigation around the house overall. Used more water cleaning the mop than actually cleaning the floor. Tech support was less than helpful so back it went. My Roborock 2024 Qrevo Curv has been the best robot I've ever had. Navigation is great and it is consistent day in and day out. Its even better than the upgraded model I have the curvx.

Totally. Yeah I also hoped they'd update the app to add that but I've had the robot since it first came out a little over a year ago and it doesn't have that yet so unsure if they will ever add that.

https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/saugroboter/ Narwal robots and Roborock’s spinning mop robots have the easiest to clean mop washboard as they’re completely removable (the autoempty Narwal models have a disposable dustbin attachment to avoid cleaning it but I find that rather wasteful). The roborock base qrevo is already a pretty good robot as it’s pretty tangle resistant with an all rubber main brush. Roborock’s generally vacuum better than the Narwal but the Narwal has an antitangle conical rubber and bristle brush that works great with the smoothest obstacle avoidance for camera enabled models with the best smart clean mode. As for models, the narwal’s Freo Z ultra is at 549 euros. However it’s very water hungry and requires constant water tank refilling and emptying. This should be the most cost effective choice if you are mainly concerned with ease of maintenance.

I don't think they would go wrong with either one. I opted for the curvx over the 10r as I'm going back to two units so it will split cleaning duties with my 2024 curv. The x has a retractable turret making it just as short as the 10r plus it has a up facing sensor for the times its operating underneath furniture in addition to the lidar being able to see out the back while retracted.

Hmm. I have. Q Revo OG and am pretty happy, but am being tempted by the Q Revo EdgeC. It sounds great but your comment has made me worried.

I had one for a week and it was terrible. It wouldn't follow the schedule, navigated poorly especially when it had to use its own light and kept stalling on or near dark colors generating an error forcing someone to physically rescue it. It could never navigate my dining room and would get confused underneath the table/chairs and would leave the room without barely cleaning anything. Mine also used more water washing the mop than it did actually cleaning the floor not to mention the poor battery life. I contacted tech support and they were not very helpful so I sent it back. Two weeks earlier I had a x50 ultra and it died on the dock on day two so it went back. Earlier this week when Roborock put their curvx on sale I grabbed one and don't regret it. I also have the 2024 curv and run two bots splitting the house. Both of them do everything very well. My biggest complaint with their app is that I cannot rotate the map which I've hit up tech support about and they said they'd pass it along to their app team. As you can see the obvious with its performance the question is are you willing to pay for a machine that performs like that. I really wanted it to work but realized that what I had was all that I was going to have. Best of luck to everyone who has one.

I bought a new roborock qrevo with mop function last year from Costco and we used nightly (have a messy toddler) and the lidar stopped working after 6 months. Emptying the dirty mop wear container was also terrible as it smelled terrible! The auto empty would also jam regularly. My parents have an old roborock s3 I believe that’s 7-8 years old. It was one of the first ones with a mop function and they never use the mop function. There’s works great. So I’m not sure if the mop function really does work for longevity purposes.
