The Roborock Qrevo S Pro robot vacuum is a refreshed model and a mid-range bestseller, so we wanted to see if it lives up to its enormous popularity. We bought one and put it through several evaluations in our studio over a few weeks. In our Roborock Qrevo S Pro review, you’ll discover the pros, cons, features, and whether it lives up to the hype.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro Robot Vacuum Overview
The Qrevo S Pro is a refresh of the Qrevo S, which remains a strong model in the robot vacuum market. The new model adds more premium dock functions and a higher manufacturer-rated suction (18,500 Pa). You can buy it in white or black, and it sits in the midrange of the robot-vacuum market, with the Dreame L40s Ultra as its closest competitor. So we’ll be comparing the S Pro’s scores to the L40s and our average scores throughout this review.
Mopping Performance
The S Pro uses two spinning mop pads rated to rotate at 200 RPM. These pads lift 10 mm over carpet, allowing the robot to vacuum carpet and mop hard floors in one run without dragging wet pads across rugs. You can also use the Carpet-first vacuum feature to vacuum carpet before the robot wets its pads.
Automations like this make daily management easier than models that require you to manually refill or attach the water tank after a vacuuming cycle to run the mop.
The model also did a really good job in our stain evaluation. It scored 149 in our standard assessment compared with the category average of 108 and the Dreame L40s Ultra’s 139. In the coffee-only stain evaluation, it scored 166 against an average of 94.
Its water use was slightly above average, but not by much. We measured a 1.15-gram water penalty compared with the 1.07-gram average and 0.95 grams for the Dreame. Excessive water use can increase drying time and leave more streaks, so it’s good to see the Qrevo S Pro wasn’t far off the average robot vacuum in our dataset.
Taken together, the Roborock Qrevo S Pro earned a combined mopping score of 39.4. That’s much higher than the 31.1 average and narrowly ahead of the Dreame’s 38.5. It’s also the best score we’ve seen for this Roborock lineup.

Vacuuming Performance
In our pickup evaluations, the Qrevo S Pro handled debris of various sizes from hard floors and carpet with almost no scattering. Its crevice pickup score was 1.5, close to the average of 2 and ahead of the Dreame’s score of 1. And it collected 81% of debris in our carpet deep clean evaluation, which measures how much embedded sand and grit the robot removes from medium-pile carpet. It scored just above the 78% average but behind the Dreame at 92%.
As for dustbin capacity, the S Pro holds just 330 mL compared to the 377 mL average. But it’s larger than the Dreame’s 310 mL bin and many recent flagship bins. A smaller bin can overfill before a dock-emptying cycle if your home has a lot of pet hair or bulky debris. However, increasing the empty frequency and running the robot more often can offset a smaller dustbin.
Its brush system is a single rubber brush with a fixed side brush to sweep debris into the path of the suction. That design handled routine surface debris reasonably well but struggled with hair-related pickup, which we’ll cover shortly.
Overall, the Qrevo S Pro is a stronger mop than vacuum, and we expect it to perform better on hard floors than in carpet-heavy spaces.

Navigation and Battery Efficiency
A top-mounted LiDAR sensor handles mapping and navigation. The Qrevo S Pro covered 0.86 square meters per minute in our navigation efficiency evaluation. That’s ahead of the 0.71 average, although the Dreame was faster at 0.94. Good navigation efficiency helps robot vacuums move through floor plans without wasting time wandering or repeatedly cleaning the same areas.
For battery efficiency, Roborock lists a maximum runtime of 240 minutes. But actual runtime depends on suction level, flooring, and other settings. In our evaluation, the Qrevo S Pro achieved 1.62 minutes per 1% of battery. This is slightly above the 1.56 average and Dreame’s 1.52.
Its estimated coverage per charge was 1,495 square feet, well above the 1,170-square-foot average and close to Dreame’s 1,538 square feet.
It took 41 minutes to vacuum and mop our studio, which is about 15 minutes faster than the 56-minute average. The Dreame completed the same space in 38 minutes.
Multifunction Dock
The robot vacuum’s dock is a big pro and a major upgrade over its predecessor. Like the Qrevo S, the multifunction dock automatically empties the dustbin into a disposable bag, washes and dries the mop pads, and refills the robot’s water tank. The upgrade over the earlier Qrevo S is heat.
Roborock specifies 167°F (75°C) water for mop washing and 113°F (45°C) air for drying. The original Qrevo S used room-temperature water. Heated washing and drying help sanitize the mop pads, remove grime, and prevent odors, so it’s a welcome addition on the S Pro.
The Qrevo S Pro App
Roborock’s app is one of the best things about the Qrevo S Pro. It provides mapping and room-editing tools, schedules, room-specific cleaning settings, no-go and no-mop zones, and control over suction and water levels. The robot vacuum can also clean in the direction of the floorboards, which is a useful setting for reducing visible mopping streaks.
It also supports third-party control with various smart home platforms, and it’s Matter-compatible for smart home integration. Do check your specific smart-home platform and current firmware beforehand to ensure compatibility.
Cons of the Roborock Qrevo S Pro Robot Vacuum
The Qrevo S Pro does several things well, especially mopping, navigation, and dock automation. But there are potential drawbacks, and our Roborock Qrevo S Pro review won’t be complete without discussing them.
Pet Hair and Long Hair Performance
This robot vacuum’s most notable drawback is hair pickup. To evaluate pet hair pickup under more realistic conditions, we flatten 2.5-inch hair into carpet and measure how much the robot removes. The S Pro picked up only 43%, almost half the 82% average and less than half the Dreame L40s Ultra’s 91%.
It also struggled in our 7-inch hair-tangle evaluation. 62% of the hair wrapped around the Qrevo S Pro’s brush compared with the 26% average. The Dreame had no wrapped hair in this assessment. We also found recurring critical comments about pet hair and carpet pickup when we filtered Amazon reviews to exclude other product variants. Those reports match our results.
While not all households deal with long hair or pet hair, the S Pro isn’t a strong model for either problem.
Obstacle Avoidance
The Qrevo S Pro uses Roborock’s Reactive Tech structured-light obstacle avoidance system. In our standard and torture evaluations, it avoided only 5 of 24 possible obstacles. The category average was 16, although the Dreame avoided 7 of 24.
That makes pre-cleaning important. You can remove shoes, charging cables, and other small objects before a run to prevent the robot from pushing them, ingesting them, or getting stuck.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro vs Dreame L40s Ultra
The main difference is the balance between mopping and vacuuming. The Qrevo S Pro has a stronger mop but a weaker vacuum, while the L40s Ultra has a slightly weaker mop but a much stronger vacuum.
S Pro had a slightly stronger combined mopping score, 39.4 versus 38.5. But the Dreame came out much stronger in the evaluations that matter for carpet cleaning and hair pickup. 92% versus 81% in carpet deep cleaning, 91% versus 43% in flattened pet-hair pickup, and 0% versus 62% in hair tangle.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro Review: Conclusion and Recommendation
The Qrevo S Pro can be a great fit for homes with more hard floors than carpets, especially if you value automated mopping, efficient navigation, and a full-service dock. Its stain removal, combined mopping score, coverage per charge, and studio cleaning time were all above average. Plus, the mobile app offers the level of control we’d expect from a mid-range robot vacuum. But it’s not ideal for homes with lots of shedding pets or heavy floor clutter, given its pet hair pickup and obstacle avoidance scores.
We buy all our robot vacuums ourselves, and our reviews are never sponsored.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Roborock Qrevo S Pro good for pet hair?
No. It removed 43% of flattened 2.5-inch pet hair from carpet in our evaluation compared with an 82% average. 62% of the 7-inch mock hair tangled on the brush versus a 26% average. So homes with frequent pet hair should consider a model with stronger carpet agitation and anti-tangle performance.
Can the Qrevo S Pro vacuum carpet and mop hard floors in the same run?
Yes. The S Pro’s spinning mop pads lift 10 mm over carpet, and the Carpet-first setting lets it vacuum carpets before wetting the pads.
How does the Qrevo S Pro compare with the Dreame L40s Ultra?
The Qrevo S Pro had a slightly higher combined mopping score in our results, while the Dreame was much stronger at deep carpet cleaning and hair pickup. The better fit depends on whether mopping or vacuuming is the higher priority.
