Roborock Expands Qrevo Line with New Variant Models

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.
  • Best Robot Vacuums – Vacuum Wars’ always up-to-date rankings of the best robot vacuums. Whether you call it a robot vacuum, a robotic hoover, or an automatic vacuum cleaner, our top picks will help you find the perfect cleaning companion for your home!

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.

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.
