One week into ownership, the Q Revo is truly amazing. Are there more expensive models that might be a little better? Probably, but the Q Revo can hold it's own at a fraction of the price. We bought direct from Roborock for 680-10% military discount, total cost $612. Much to our surprise it successfully avoided a folded blanket we forgot to pick up, so while it's obstacle avoidance might not match models costing twice the price, it's fine if you pick up cords and such. On the plus side, it does not touch, bump, or markup walls or furniture. We even have Christmas decorations out that it successfully avoids. None of our previous Roombas or Deebots could do that. Q Revo for the win for us.

I do love the new function on this dock that once the water gets too low or empty it will alert you. The previous docks didn't do that.

Well done video! I love the objective measurements shown on the various tools used throughout the making of the video. Very helpful. Great job and keep it up!

For the price this looks incredible. Still hoping for a future with a standardized base station that will connect to sink plumbing, and suction debris into a trash can. Fully integrated in and under the toe kick we just have little robots we don’t have to refill or empty ever. Then people can buy any robot they want for the job from their preferred company. One day 🤞🏼

Watched several of your reviews and decided to get this one by using your link. Thanks for this and the other videos!

Thanks for your reviews on all of these Roborock vacuums. This is the unit I've decided to pick up. :)

I just have one for Christmas gift, yesterday, and vacuum and mop, all in one, save my life, I’m having problems with my back, osteoporosis, this works really good.

Just ordered a Q Revo from your link. Thanks for all your videos! They are very helpful.

Very well done review... Hits the essentials without fluff or drama... Liked and subbed. Keep it up!

Thanks for the review. Very helpful in deciding to move forward with my pre-order. Cheers!

Fantastic insight as always Jamie. I'm sold. Looks like it will work great for my needs. (I'll be sure to use your link to purchase mine) Thanks!

Great review. After closely looking at the first generation all-in-one robots last year I suspected waiting a while for manufacturers to iron out issues and release newer generations of robots may be a good idea. The Roborock Q Revo just confirmed the notion for me. It's very exciting to see where robot cleaner technology will go in the future. (My exceedingly ancient and discontinued LG RoboKing needs a new battery but I'm still holding off pulling the trigger on buying a new robovac for now.)

Thank you for the review! I got my early bird coupon a few days ago, and will order this tomorrow! This is the same model as the Roborock P10 in China mainland, it got good reviews over there too.

Thanks, great review. Very helpful

Jamie, thanks for taking the time to create this Q Revo video. I know you had limited time to bring it out but it really helped me to make my decision between the Q Revo and the S7 Max Plus. I will purchase this one because it seems to do the majority of the things that I need to have done and yes there are limitations on the object avoidance but since the S7 Max Plus would be using the same object avoidance I don't think it would make that big of a difference between the two. If I were comparing it against the S7 Maxv Plus or the S8 on object avoidance then it would make the Q Revo look really bad. But considering the differences in pricing and the discount coupon it's a no-brainer to get the Q Revo. I am also hoping that firmware upgrades will improve the object avoidance over time. Also, I look forward to your comparison between the Q Revo and the S7 Max Plus, but regardless I am going to get the Q Revo. Thanks again

I ordered mine this morning, I had bought the coupon. I feel like I got a good deal. My first robo vacuum of any kind! 🎉

OK, the initial results are IN! Q Revo so far has NO trouble at all picking up husky hair from my 5+ yr old husky mix and now 5 mo old siberian husky puppy (who is now also shedding). I have to hand it to them for finally catching onto the better design idea from irobot of having a separate direct route from robot dust bin to dock dust collection bag. In watching it I'm not super enthused over the mopping action, as it will skip from carpet to floor and NOT back up to mop the part it just jumped over. It does appear to basically mop at least as well as the s7 vmax ultra and I actually turned off the one direction floor mopping as it didnt seem to want to do as well for whatever reason - i do have some floor rugs about so the dogs don't have to slide around the entire house. There is no wall to wall rug anywhere. We had guests for a few days that brought sand from the beach into the guest room which wasnt cleaned while they were here for 4 days and i set the q revo to clean x2 on both the guest bathroom and bedrooms and it did a terrific job! I really also like the easier empty/clean for the dirty water tank and the refill for the clean tank. Much simpler setup. I did get the white Q Revo, which at first I thought would just get super dirty looking but turns out it actually looks great! I also LOVE that the base water/debris catcher pulls right out to clean - SOOOOO much simpler and faster than the s7 vmax's pita water filter cleaning. Definite improvement over the s7vmax ultra in my opinion for anybody with shedding dogs! The only gripe so far is i have to remove the Revo from the dock to check it's internal dust bin (not the dock bin) whereas the s7 you could check it while docked, however i find it unnecessary to even do so at this point. It just works like it's supposed to! Yay! Its by far a better bin emptying setup. Now if that darn irobot full bag sensor patent would expire so i could be notified when to replace the dock bag, things would really be great. Ah, one other note - to my relief Q Revo so far has NOT unraveled the edges of an old persian rug we have, I was a bit hesitant about trying a robot with better suction because of that one. So - anybody want a used s7vmax ultra?! lol

I just wanted to add a short note on the Q Revo and mopping. My wife had accidentally dropped some sort of lipstick on to the floor near the sink and it really dug into the wood floor after a couple of days. I sent the Q Revo in standard mode to clean it up and it could not clean it all up so I set it to Max and after two passes it was able to remove it. I know that's not the typical type of stain but very impressed with it's capabilities.

very impressive video, thank you for such a thorough overview.

Such a thorough review, thanks

Excellent review, I bought the rev q because of your review. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the pet hair dust bin empty view, just what I’ve been looking for in reviews and none showed it so perfectly! I have 2 huskies and my s7 vmax ultra fails to empty the hair/dirt from both my daily kitchen run and daily living room run now. Very annoying. Used to have just 1 husky and it would fail to empty on occasion but with the second husky pup it’s a daily failure multiple times. Definitely plan to give the q revo a shot!

Great video! Cheers!

After setting up my Q Revo yesterday and running it last night and this morning. I have to say I am really in love with this robot. My whole house has been vacuumed and mopped and it looks great. The obstacle avoidance was pretty good overall but I don't have a lot of little toys laying around like others might but overall it didn't bump into many things so I am really happy with the object avoidance so far.

Very impressive! Thanks for the detailed review, gotta admit, looks hard to choose the S7or even the S8 over this given the features and price. Hopefully the object avoidance can be improved in firmware.

excellent surprising review! thank's

A lot of people don't need obstacle avoidance. For them, this is an excellent robot.

Thank you for the detailed review Jamie. I have one question though: How is dock cleaning performance of mop pads? Dreame L10S used to leave dark residues in the center of the pad after cleaning it in the dock.

Thanks for this great review! I'm waiting on my Q Revo, hope I made the right choice for our family of 5 and one dog. I currently have Roomba i3, it does a great job cleaning but takes forever to do our 2000 sq foot home (8 plus hours, we usually end it prematurely if it doesn't get stuck). It always bumps into my husband and gets stuck under a recliner. I usually close my kids bedroom doors because it has no object avoidance or lidar and I'm not that brave. For a mop when I want a robot to do the work I have the Braava Jet 240 which does a good job but I am looking forward to not having to refill and relocate from room to room. Hoping this cleans as well as our double roller Roomba!

Excellent, thank you for this video. I am now even more sure of my early bird $15 coupon code I bought 🎉

An excellent review. I would agree with you that the obstacle avoidance is an important component where the new variations and designs of current robot vacuums. I have two three four roombas and I maintain them every week and I consider the avoidance of cards, small objects, not getting stuck under chairs and the kick space of kitchens to be extremely important to the longevity of the robot and the items that may be and should be avoided on the floor such as shoelaces and tassels on rugs. Over the course of weeks and months avoidance prevents damage that accumulates and can be very expensive. I personally will wait for software upgrades because robots should have excellent object avoidance and I should say small object avoidance,

Okay I ran my own object avoidance test with the Q Revo and this is what I found out. If you turn on the "less collision mode" it will avoid objects like shoes and stuffed animals pretty well with minor taps. It will run over socks and wires so make sure you clean up before you vacuum. Now, if you turn that setting off it will just run over almost anything except the really big objects. With the setting on, it will still get very close to the edges when it vacuums so I'm going to keep it on for now and keep an eye on the edge cleaning. Let's see what happens in the future with updates.

Jamie, I hope this is the weekend we get to see the comparison between the Max Plus and the Q Revo.

Great review. Thanks.

Great review! Does the S7 Max Ultra have the same garbage obstacle avoidance system?

Thanks!

Thanks Jamie, nice review. Couple of questions, what is the real life run time in vacuum and mop mode? How often does it need to return to base to change water? And have you any experience of it with door thresholds at 2cm high?

For me this "obstacle avoidance" is like the one on the S7 Pro because this doesn't have any 3D lasers or RGB Camera

Just ordered q revo s hopefully its good

Jamie, do you have a publicly available spreadsheet with the data you collect during your reviews? It would be great to see a written comparison of some of the test results so we can easily compare different models.

What is great about the Dreametech l10s ultra is it does have a camera. If it gets stuck...... it did on me once I was able to drive it out and get it unstuck

Thank for the great review Jamie! In your experience so far, how long does it take the Q revo to saturate the mopping pads after engaging them? Does it do anything to pre wet them? I’m thinking of situations where there is either a small amount of floor to be mopped surrounded by carpet or the area right around the dock.

Congratulations as always for your reviews .... Always very detailed .... Can I ask you a favor? ... Could you show in a video if the Q Revo brush is compatible with the models of the S7 line? It would be interesting to understand if the new brush can be purchased, which I find more functional for the extremity removal system than the old models. Thanks in advance

Shoot!! If i had known Roborock was coming out with a dual spinning mop pads robot, i wouldn't have bought the more expensive S8 Pro Ultra earlier. Honestly, who really cares about object avoidance.....the features on the Q revo are exactly the same with the S8 Pro Ultra but at a cheaper price point.....Love your review. Thanx & warnest regards from Malaysia!

should check dreame x20 pro out especially the mopping function although only release in china,hope future roborock spinning mop have this function too...

Hi Jamie, thank you for the video, I did not even know this model and now I am seriously considering it. I have a three floor house, does the Q revo work on multiple floors? Thanks.

Thanks for the video! whats your opinion on the Xiaomi Mijia M30 Pro?

Great video!! I am wondering does it leave any gaps when mopping the edge?

We love ours!!

Jamie, not sure if you have noticed but even when I set the "Less Collision Mode" on the robot, it still gets super close to the edges without touching them. When I look at the robot go throughout my house I almost feel like it's going to scrape the walls but it doesn't. Also, I have also noticed that the object avoidance is great on large objects and doesn't touch them very often. I can only imagine what the next update will bring.

Could you make a compare with the S8 Plus. I would like to see the difference between the obstacle avoidance

Thanks for your review very clear . Could this work without wifi? I need one where there is no internet connection

Any theory as to why the hard floor vacuuming performance falls short of the S7 MaxV? Maybe because it lacks the “floating brush housing” that allows the S7 to get closer to the floor?

Grrr, do I get go for a S7 or S8, now I need to think about this one, lucky it isn't coming the NZ. 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for the great review.

Good video! I have a question. How often is Roborock releasing firmware updates for new products? I want to know how likely it is that they make the obstacle avoidance better via firmware updates

It would be helpful to see new s7 Max Ultra compared to MaxV Ultra. Is it much different other than built-in mop drying?

Would love to see a S7 or 8 max ultra vs Eufy clean x9 pro, cant find any comparesment yet.

Hallo - Great video , very informative with some great comparisons. Few questions that I hope you can answer, because I cant seem to find it.. :( Is it possible to setup 2 houses in the app ? Aka i have a cottage that i would love to bring this to once in a while? is that doable? without having to do a full scan of the house each time :) Another thing, from your expirience how long does it take to clean an entire house? I know that obviously depends on the size, complexity etc. But what is your experience ? My cottage is like 100m2 ish of hard floors , no carpets and a not at all complex, is that like 2 hours? or 1 hour? Give or take... I know this is all rough estimates, but i would still love to know. Since the battery life does not really say much :) And the cleaning is just on default stuff.

im still pissed that they have all these robot vaccs but they havent made a laundry folder machine lol

Just ordered it on sale via Amazon $679, can't wait to get it.

Please do the ultra 8 vs Q Revo!

Must purchased

Hi Jamie! Thanks for the review. I have one question. Assuming you've been using this model for about at least 9 months, have you encountered any water leaking problem? If so, have you been able to resolve it? Several people online complained about this. Most say they either replaced the device or they simply used citric acid and it solved the problem. I would like to get this for my mother, and I doubt she would be able to handle if there's any leakage. Thanks.

I picked this model up for 675$ this past weekend new year sale plus a 79.99 discount for being a student.

Keep up the great reviews,isn’t this a replica of the dreameBot L10S?

Have they updated the firmware to make the avoidance system better since this video?

Great video and thanks for doing the review!:) Two questions though, can the Q Revo only do vacuum for the whole house first then only mop (after done vacuum) without removing the mop pads? As im looking for my first robot vacuum😅 By the way, is detergent injector important? As i know you're a huge fan of it:)

Would you say an advantage to the q revo over the s series is the water tank size allowing you to go longer in between water changeouts? Or does it dispense water faster than the s series making the time in between maintenance similar? Thank you for the awesome video!

Great review! I have one question: How am I supposed to properly mop the upstairs floor when base station is downstairs and internal water tank is small (80 ml)? I dont wanna move the base station up and down and the 80 ml tank probably will not cover 50+ square meters right? Maybe spray some water on the floor? Appreciate some guidance here :)

Jamie, when will the new Q Revo MaxV be available in the US?

Can you have it vacuum after it’s cleaned/dried the mop brushes? I kinda feel like a second pass with those scrubbing the carpet a little might even help deeper pile carpet.

Thanks for your review! Has your Revo ever got caught in anything after the 2.13.30 firmware update? I’m wondering if the object avoidance is good enough now for me to set and forget this robot without it getting stuck. I don’t have pets but sometimes have socks or dirty clothing on the floor (no shame)

would love to see a new obstacle avoidance test with the improved firmware-update when it's available

Hey Jamie, I did find a bug with the Q Revo and not sure if you've had it happen on yours. If I lift the robot out of its charging station and place it somewhere else to clean around it, when I go to my app and tell it to dock it will try to create a new map. I then have to stop what it's trying to do through the app and go back to the robot and hit the home button from there. Also, I had it go into a no-go zone which it's not supposed to be able to do and then send an alert that it was in a no-go zone and needed to be placed outside of that area. When I did, I could not get it to resume the cleaning and eventually it tried to create a new map. Once again I had to stop that process and click the home button on the robot itself to get it to go home. One of the times I had to go into the map section and delete a map that had been created. Hopefully all of this will get fixed in a firmware upgrade.

Thanks for the video ! I'm looking to buy a Q Revo and I'm a bit concerned given the reports of algae/mold growth in the non-removable water tank on the S8 series. Is this also a problem with the Q Revo? If so, how can this be prevented?

My sofa has a 3-inch clearance, will this robot be able to go underneath a 3-inch clearance?

W dad. I’m a big fan of Mr. Andrews, this is the best KZfaq channel ever, I am inspired and quite proud to be a fan of Jamie Andrews.

Do you have a video on how the onboard water tank is cleaned. It went through some dog droppings, and I don't want the water emptying into the main dock. 😢😮

Would you happen to know how it compares against the Dreame L10 (non S) Ultra? I believe that the dock in the Dreame is even easier to clean, but I'm not sure. I'm looking for a new robot vacuum cleaner and while obstacle detection is not super high in the list, it'd be nice to have one that doesn't hump the clothes drying rack

I also found some silver module that you can insert in the water tank for antibacterial purposes... Do you think it's neccesary/safe to use when compared to the omo detergent as I can't seem to find information regarding this subject.

@jamie.andrews - do you think its an upgrade for someone with s7 maxv with the dryer module. I have the impression that the mopping on q revo seems better than vibra rise

Thanks for the great review. 2 questions: 1. Do you find the lack of the Spot cleaning button a problem? Do you have to go to the app and fiddle to the right menu to find it? 2. about the privacy issue - does the S8 Ultra have an RGB cam? I'm considering of buying this model because of the privacy issue even thought the obsticale detection is much worse than the S8 Series.

Has this fixed the issue with the cover scratching floors as mentioned in the s7+ review?

So you only want to mop over dry stains otherwise the wheels would run over liquids or sauce and track them all over? In the mopping tests have you ever noticed the wheels picking up and then making tire tracks of sauce or whatever you are trying to mop?

Jamie, you are great

Does it have a floating roller brush? It’s kinda hard to tell from the video. Thanks!

How would you compare the navigation and obstacle avoidance of the Q revo with the S6 MaxV?

@jamie - is the object avoidance performance different on a plain floor vs. your multi-coloured and patterned carpet?

Hello. eufy x9 pro looks very cost-effective, but do you have any plans for a review?

Could the Q Revo be used for cleaning two floor levels without having to move the charging/cleaning dock?

Jamie, is there a model yet that dispenses with the water tanks in favor of a hookup to to a water supply pipe to fill and drain pipe to empty? I'm designing a cabinet to hide my robot's base station, and I wondered if it would make sense to have my plumber run pipes to that location. Thank you.

my only concern is how much service life you can get of this current gen of robots? can you keep it running for years buying the ocassional spares as long as you mantain it? they seem to be more complex now

I've been using an S5 Max, but it can't climb onto a 1" area rug. Would the Revo or any other Roborock vac do this? Also, do the self-emptying vacs return to the dock and empty as needed when their bin gets full (then resume cleaning) or do they only self-empty at the end of an entire cleaning job? Thanks!

Look that there's no plastic on one side of the filter at 2:19. That is what I was talking about. I think this is an improvement to avoid hair tangling.

Hi Jamie, how is the spinning mopping compared to the vibrating mopping? Is there a clear winner? Due to the shape of the mop heads, which covers more ground? The circle shape also leaves a small gap in the middle. I have a Narwal and I feel its shape covers more ground.

Thank you for the review! Roborock's lineup and naming scheme is getting messy 😂

So how does it get suck the dirty water off the floor after the mops spin? no squeegee?

Very interesting, this seems to be very good value. The question in my mind is, is it better value than the l10s ultra?

Would you recommend using a detergent in the water tank?

would you buy this in addition to S7 Max V Ultra to work on a large single floor home together?
