Roborock is set to broaden its Qrevo line of robot vacuums with the introduction of new variants that build on the success of the current flagship Qrevo models. These upcoming variants, designed as alternatives to the Qrevo Edge and Qrevo Curve, offer a similar form factor in both the robot and the multifunctional dock while strategically adjusting the premium features.
Key Differences in Feature Set
The new variants, Qrevo Curv S5X/ 5A1/ 5XC (Amazon Link) and Qrevo Edge S5A (Amazon Link) retain the same docking station design and share critical components with their flagship counterparts. However, they will lack several premium features, positioning them as a potentially lower-priced option for consumers who are not seeking the full high-end experience. According to information provided on the Roborock website, the following features will not be included:
- Chassis Lifting: The innovative chassis lifting mechanism, which allows for enhanced obstacle management and cleaning efficiency, will be removed.
- Built-In Voice Assistant: Unlike the current models, these variants will not include an integrated voice assistant, a feature that has added convenience and smart home integration in previous releases.
- Reactive Tech Obstacle Avoidance: Instead of employing the advanced reactive AI obstacle recognition, the new models will adopt a less sophisticated reactive tech for obstacle avoidance.
- Suction Power: The variants will offer an unknown (for now) level of suction compared to the current models’ 18,500 Pa Hyperforce suction.

Despite these omissions, both variants will continue to feature the multifunctional dock and maintain the anti-tangle system. This includes the duo-divide main brush and the FlexiArm side brush, both features which have preformed well in our recent reviews.
Performance in Competitive Evaluations
Both the Qrevo Curve and the Qrevo Edge have previously demonstrated strong performance in Vacuum Wars tests and secured spots in our Top 20 Best Robot Vacuums list. The upcoming variants are expected to build on this reputation by providing dependable cleaning solutions, even with a pared-down set of features.
The Roborock Qrevo Edge Robot Vacuum and Mop delivers powerful 18,500Pa suction and 0% hair tangling, thanks to its Dual Anti-Tangle System and DuoDivide Bristle Brush. Featuring a FlexiArm Arc Side Brush and Edge Mopping System, it ensures precise corner-to-corner coverage. Its All-in-One Multifunctional Dock 3.0 offers hands-free cleaning with 167°F hot water washing, warm air drying, and intelligent dirt detection for re-washing mop pads. With Reactive AI Obstacle Recognition, PreciSense LiDAR, and a built-in intelligent voice assistant, the Qrevo Edge navigates safely and responds to hands-free commands—even without an internet connection. Pet-friendly features include ultra-quiet mopping at 55dB, real-time video calls, and a pause function to avoid startling pets. AdaptiLift technology lets it cross 40mm thresholds and lift its mop when needed. Plus, the Qrevo Edge supports the Matter protocol for integration into any smart home. See additional info

The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X is a mid-range robot vacuum and mop combo in the Curv lineup that keeps many of the core strengths of the original model while trimming a few features to lower the price. In testing, it stood out for excellent vacuum performance, including strong pickup on hard floors and carpets and an impressive 93% score in deep-clean carpet tests. Its hardware includes a flexi-arm side brush for corners and Roborock’s Duo Divide anti-tangle main brush, which prevented hair wrapping even in long-hair tests. The dual spinning mop pads include an extending edge mop and can lift 10 mm over carpets, allowing simultaneous vacuuming and mopping. Mopping performance overall was moderate—below average in one stain test but above average in another—and it used less water than typical Curv models, reducing streaks. The third-generation dock is another highlight, offering hot-water mop washing, warm-air drying, auto dustbin emptying, dirty-water detection with re-mopping, and a self-cleaning tray. Navigation, battery efficiency, and the Roborock app are also strong. Downsides include weak obstacle avoidance due to the lack of a camera, a smaller-than-average onboard dustbin, and reports of debris being expelled if the bin overfills.

We found the Roborock Qrevo S5V to be a strong value option when it’s on sale, delivering excellent results in carpet deep cleaning, pet hair pickup, and mopping that outperformed many competitors in our tests. However, we also noted clear drawbacks: its obstacle avoidance was poor, its airflow and suction bench scores were average to below average, the dustbin is smaller than most, and the app felt buggier and more limited than Roborock’s higher-end models. Overall, we think the Qrevo S5V is one of the best value robots in its class when purchased at a discount. See additional info

Market Positioning and Consumer Options
By introducing these variants, Roborock appears to be expanding its market reach. The decision to offer models without certain premium features may appeal to a segment of consumers who prioritize affordability while still enjoying reliable cleaning performance. This strategic move could enable customers to benefit from the trusted design and functionality of the Qrevo line without incurring the higher cost associated with the flagship models.
Availability
Roborock has indicated on its website that these variants will be available soon. As the release date approaches, additional details on pricing and specifications are likely to be shared, giving consumers a clearer picture of the differences between the premium models and these more accessible options.
Conclusion
The introduction of these variants marks a significant step in Roborock’s strategy to diversify its product offerings. With a design that mirrors the successful Qrevo Edge and Curve models but with a more focused feature set, Roborock is positioning these products as an attractive option for consumers who value affordability without sacrificing core functionality. As more information becomes available, it will be interesting to see how these models perform in the market and how they further impact Roborock’s standing in the competitive robot vacuum space.
If Vacuum Wars reviews these new models, we will make our findings available in the Robot Vacuum Reviews area of this website. Top ranking robot vacuums may gain a position in our Top 20 Best Robot Vacuums list.
