The Quick Verdict: Roborock Qrevo Edge 2
The Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 is a definite improvement over the already impressive original Qrevo Edge. Vacuuming performance took a notable step forward, mopping was one of its strongest areas, navigation remained efficient despite the switch to retractable LiDAR, and its slimmer 3.14-inch body gives it better access under low-clearance furniture. Its main weaknesses were below-average obstacle avoidance and a smaller-than-average onboard dustbin. Overall, the Edge 2 scored very high on our Top 20 Robot Vacuum list, where it sits alongside flagship models with much higher price points.

See how it compares to our Top 20 Robot Vacuums
Today is all about our Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 review, the second-generation update to one of our favorite robot vacuums from last year. It’s an exciting release for the upper mid-range category, featuring improved official suction, an ultra-slim body, an updated dock, and several of Roborock’s high-end features. We bought one and put it through several evaluations over the last few weeks to see how it compares with the original Qrevo Edge and whether it could earn a spot on our Top 20 Robot Vacuum list.
Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 vs. the Original Qrevo Edge
The Qrevo Edge 2 is Roborock’s update of the Qrevo Edge (see our review) for the U.S. market. And as mentioned, we really liked the original Edge last year. It also took the top spot on our Top 20 Robot Vacuums list at the time.
But that model seems to have been retired, making the Edge 2 and the entry-level Edge S5A (see our review) the only members of the lineup available in the U.S. as of this review. The Edge 2 retails for around $1,300 but is often on sale for much less than that, putting it in the upper mid-range price tier.
Vacuuming Performance
A major pro of the Qrevo Edge 2 is vacuuming, and it’s a big step up from the Edge. It did very well at its main job of sweeping debris of different sizes from both hard floors and carpets without scattering fine debris.
It also did a fantastic job in our carpet deep clean evaluation, where we embed sand into medium-pile carpet and measure how much the robot can remove. The Edge 2 removed 94% of the sand, compared with 85% for the original Edge and a 78% average. It was the second-highest score of all time and tied with our number-one robot vacuum at the time of evaluation.
DuoDivide Brush and Hair Tangle Performance
The Edge 2 uses Roborock’s DuoDivide main brush, a single brush split in the center to funnel long hair into the suction port without tangling. This main brush also has bristles for better floor agitation, while the single side brush resists tangles and extends to sweep into corners.
The brush design performed well in our 7-inch hair tangle evaluation, earning a perfect result with 0% of the hair wrapped around the brush. The average in this evaluation is 26%.
Pet Hair Pickup
In our pet hair pickup assessment, the Edge 2 performed very well, removing 89.5% of the hair — compared with 80.5% for the original Edge and an average of 82.2%.
Ultra-Slim Design for Low-Clearance Furniture
This robot vacuum is significantly shorter than the original Qrevo Edge, bringing its profile down from 4.06 inches (103 mm) to 3.14 inches (80 mm). The slim body design allows the Edge 2 to reach under low-clearance furniture or access hard-to-reach spaces.
Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Mopping System
The next major pro was mopping. The Qrevo Edge 2 uses Roborock’s dual spinning mop pad design, with one pad extending outward to clean along the edges of walls and furniture.
These pads scrub with 8 newtons of downward pressure and can lift 12 mm over carpet. That allows the robot to vacuum and mop a mix of hard floors and rugs in a single run without getting the carpet fibers wet. You can also program it to avoid carpets altogether for more thorough carpet protection.

Mopping Evaluation Results
The Edge 2 did an incredible job in our dried-on stain assessment, scoring 139, compared with 106 for the original Edge and an average of 108.
Most impressively, it did this without using much water, which is something we like to see. While using more water can help a robot vacuum in the stain evaluation, it also tends to leave streaks behind when the floor dries. The Edge 2 received a water penalty of just 0.65 grams, compared with 1 gram for the original Edge and a 1.07-gram average.
With its high stain score and low water penalty, the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 earned a 40.8 combined mopping score against a 20.3 average. The original Edge had a combined score of 29.9, so the Edge 2 has a large lead over its predecessor at roughly double the average.
Between its vacuuming and mopping results, the Edge 2 was overall a strong floor cleaner.
Navigation Efficiency and RetractSense LiDAR
Navigation efficiency was another strong pro. This was something we watched closely because the Edge 2 switched from a top-mounted LiDAR turret to Roborock’s RetractSense retractable LiDAR. However, the change in hardware had no negative effect on the robot’s ability to map and route itself efficiently.
The Edge 2 scored 0.81 square meters per minute, identical to the original Edge and above our 0.71 average. It completed a vacuuming and mopping run in our studio floor plan about 16 minutes faster than average.
Battery Life and Floor Coverage
Battery life was slightly below the first Edge at 1.4 minutes per 1% of battery, compared with 1.57 minutes for the original Edge and a 1.56-minute average. However, the Qrevo Edge 2’s efficient navigation helped offset the shorter runtime.
We estimated floor coverage at 1,208 square feet per charge. That’s slightly higher than our 1,170-square-foot average, although below the original Edge at 1,369 square feet.
Homes with large floor plans or a lot of carpet might notice the lower battery life since they would be asking more of the battery. But the Edge 2 supports recharge and resume as well as fast charging in the dock.
Upgraded Multifunction Dock
The multifunction dock is another area where the Edge 2 has a few upgrades over its predecessor. Its base station washes the mops with 176°F water (80°C), which is hotter than the first-generation temperature of 167°F. The station also has a new mop-soaking feature for a deeper clean and automatically refills the mop tank with heated water for stronger mopping, which worked well during evaluation.
The station also dries the mops using 131°F (55°C) hot air to help prevent bacterial growth and odors. It even automatically empties the robot’s dustbin into a disposable bag that Roborock says can hold up to 65 days’ worth of debris.
Roborock App and SmartPlan 3.0
Roborock’s mobile app is one of the best in the business, with detailed controls and customization.
It supports scheduling, room editing, no-go zones, no-mop zones, and other basics we expect from a major robot vacuum brand. Roborock has also released its SmartPlan 3.0 AI cleaning agent on this model, which the company says can identify room types to optimize cleaning strategies.
You can also boost suction for high-traffic areas, rewash the mops after cleaning the kitchen, and reduce noise during Do Not Disturb times. It’s also Matter-compatible and can be integrated with third-party voice assistants.
The front-facing camera can be accessed through the app for finding your pet or live video monitoring.
Cons of the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Robot Vacuum
There are often a few things that could be better, no matter how good a robot vacuum is — and we discovered a couple during our Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 review.
Obstacle Avoidance
The front-facing camera is part of the Edge 2’s obstacle avoidance system, which uses Roborock’s Reactive AI technology with an RGB camera, LED light assist, and 3D structured light. But this was one area where the original Edge did a little better.
The original Edge avoided 16 out of 24 possible objects in our evaluation. The Edge 2 came in below average, avoiding only 14 out of 24 possible obstacles. This is far from the worst score we’ve seen, but it isn’t an area where we want to see a decrease in performance.

Smaller Onboard Dustbin
Another con was the size of the onboard dustbin. The Qrevo Edge 2 has a 240 mL dustbin, compared with 325 mL on the original Edge and an average of 377 mL in our database.
Dustbins this small can cause issues in homes with a lot of bulky debris (such as pet hair) because the bin can overflow before the robot returns to the dock to empty it.
Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Review: Our Conclusion
While the underwhelming obstacle avoidance is worth consideration, the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 was overall a great addition to the Qrevo lineup. It’s a definite improvement over its already great predecessor, with increased vacuuming performance and impressive mopping.
Its 94% carpet deep-cleaning result was one of the highest we’ve recorded, and its mopping score substantially exceeded both the original Edge and our average. The slimmer design also gives it access to areas the taller first-generation model may not reach.
The Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 robot vacuum ranks very high on our Top 20 Robot Vacuum list at the time of this review, alongside flagship models at much higher price points. There, you’ll see how the Edge 2 compares with all of our current favorites. You can also use our comparison tool to see exactly how models from several brands performed in independent evaluations.
