Roborock has regularly been introducing exciting additions to its increasingly popular Q Revo lineup of robot vacuums, with the most recent additions immediately ranking high at our Best Robot Vacuums list. Even for seasoned evaluators like us it can be challenging to keep track of the lineup’s differences, so this article aims to clarify the distinctions and help you choose the right one for your needs.
Roborock Q Revo Lineup: The Basics
The current Roborock Q Revo lineup includes:
In testing, it excelled in debris pickup and carpet cleaning with its new DuoDivide main brush, which resists tangles and enhances deep cleaning, as well as in mopping with advanced spinning mop pads and edge-cleaning capabilities. The Qrevo Curv’s multifunctional dock automatically empties the dustbin, washes and dries the mop pads, and even refills the water tank with solution, making maintenance effortless. It also boasts remarkable navigation, mapping spaces efficiently and covering more area per charge than any robot vacuum tested. Although its airflow and crevice performance were average, the overall results earned it the top spot on Vacuum Wars’ top 20 list, offering a compelling value despite its premium price.

The 18,500 Pa HyperForce suction, paired with the DuoDivide bristle brush, provides strong cleaning performance across various surfaces, including carpets, hard floors, and gaps. For edge-to-edge cleaning, the FlexiArm Side Brush and Side Mop are engineered to ensure precise coverage. The All-in-One Multifunctional Dock 3.0 supports functions like hot water mop washing, self-cleaning, warm air drying, and automatic dustbin emptying, with features like dirt detection and re-mopping as needed. Reactive AI Obstacle Recognition uses LiDAR and camera systems to navigate efficiently while avoiding objects. Additional features include a voice assistant for offline commands, pet-friendly operation with quiet mopping and two-way interaction, and a smart app for cleaning customization, mapping, and safety settings.
The Qrevo Master features spinning mop pads, which distinguish it from the fixed pads on the S8 series, and its performance in both sweeping and mopping tests was nearly flawless. Its mopping system, with electronically controlled water dispensing and an auto-extending mop, outperformed even the S8 MaxV in several areas. The self-emptying bin not only washes and dries the mop pads but also includes advanced features like self-cleaning and enhanced hair removal mechanisms. Navigation is handled by a top-mounted lidar sensor, and its obstacle avoidance system, powered by a front-mounted camera and 3D structured light sensor, showed remarkable improvement over previous Qrevo options.
