I’ve been testing this robot vacuum with a compact design that takes care of itself for up to 65 days, and it’s quickly become a staple in my home

After spending the last year reviewing all of the best robot vacuums, I know what to look for when it comes to getting value for your money. The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro robot vacuum delivers reliable performance at a mid-range price that will please anyone looking for a helping set of hands (or wheels) around the house.

Vacuuming is effective, especially on hard floors, and mopping is impressive thanks to the dual circular mops. The small dock design will suit even smaller homes, and mapping through the app is quick and easy.

Unfortunately, it struggles to pick up hair and bumps into some obstacles with some force (so mind your legs), but overall, I think this is a great mid-range option. To find out more, you can keep reading this full Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review.

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review: Price & availability

The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is available for $799 on Amazon U.S. and £1,199 on Amazon U.K. This is a mid-range robot vacuum that’s pretty small, but I think you get a lot of bang for your buck considering the cleaning performance.

It’s a little more expensive than the Roborock QV 35S, which is available for $749, but this vacuum only has a suction power of 10,000Pa, whereas the Qrevo 2 Pro has 25,000Pa. It also performs better than the Roborock Qrevo Curv, which costs $999, although they look very similar. If you have mostly hard flooring in your home and need more reliable mopping, I would recommend the Qrevo Pro 2.

The Ecovacs Deebot T30S is $300 cheaper at $499 and provides an excellent clean. It even does well at picking up pet hair, so this could be a better option for pet owners, as the Qrevo 2 Pro doesn’t do the best job picking up hair.

It’s worth keeping in mind that if you have a lot of pets that shed fur or children running around, you may want something a little more heavy-duty. For this, I’d recommend splashing a few extra bucks and picking up one of the best robot vacuums for pet hair, such as the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete for $1,699 or the Roborock Saros 20 for $1,599.

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review: Design

The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro, like most other Roborock products, looks sleek and will suit any home. It comes in black or white, so there’s an option for whatever your interior decor looks like. I tested the black colorway, and it looked good next to the rest of my home appliances. The dock measures 19.5 x 17.7 x 15.8 inches, making it compact as far as robot vacuums go. Together, the dock and vacuum weigh 37.3 lbs.

The Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2 ($299) is another robot vacuum with a small dock, but this one only has a max suction power of 6,000Pa, meaning it’s only really good for hard floors. It’s great to see the Roborock incorporating high suction power into a dock with a smaller design.

The robot vacuum measures 13.9 x 13.8 x 3.8 inches, the same as the Roborock QV 35S, which isn’t too invasive. The Qrevo 2 Pro has a front bumper that is very reactive when it moves into furniture. Underneath the robot, there’s a side brush that rotates to kick up dust at the side of the room. On this model, the brush is also reversible, so it can, in theory, pick up more dust from the corners of the room.

At the back of the robot vacuum, there are two circular mops. I much prefer circular mops, as they agitate the ground more, instead of wiping over it like the flat mop on the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 ThermaCharged NeverTouch ($1,199).

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review: App

The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is controlled via the Roborock app. This is free to download on iOS and Android devices. This isn’t my first time using the Roborock app, as it’s what I use to control my Roborock Saros 20 at home, so I’m familiar with the controls. But if you’ve never used it before, you get a walkthrough when you set up the device for the first time.

The app is easy to navigate. Vacuum controls are at the bottom of the screen where you can dictate the strength of the suction, the amount of water used by the mops, and how many passes the vacuum makes over the room. You control mapping at the top of the screen and can send the vacuum back to the dock with the click of a button.

You can watch the route the vacuum has taken on the app, where a line is tracked around the room. It also lets you know how many square meters it has cleaned and how long it’s been cleaning for, but unfortunately, it doesn’t tell you how much time is left in the routine.

Although I usually decline notifications from new apps, I recommend turning them on for the Roborock app because if anything happens to your robot, such as it becoming stuck, you’ll receive a handy notification so you know it needs a helping hand.

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review: Mapping

The first thing I did when I set up the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro in the app was map the first floor of my house. This is done through the quick mapping setting in the app.

The robovac uses LiDAR navigation to create the layout, and this was very accurate. The LiDAR was so effective that it even mapped into the backyard.

The mapping took around 10 minutes to complete for four rooms. This process was a lot quicker than when I recently used the Dreame app. During this time, it noted obstacles such as chairs and marked them in the app with a small traffic cone icon so it knew to avoid them in the future.

My only issue here is the obstacle avoidance. The robovac has a bumper at the front, but it would crash pretty hard into things like sofa legs and the dining room table. It didn’t do any damage. But I found myself jumping a little each time it crashed.

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review: Cleaning

I found the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro to perform best on hard floors, though it struggled to pick up hair on all surfaces. The vacuum has a maximum suction power of 25,000 Pa, the setting I used to conduct my testing. This is good for a mid-range vacuum, as the Roborock QV 35S has a maximum suction power of 10,000Pa.

Vacuuming

I tested how good the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is at vacuuming by carrying out our standardized testing criteria. This involved setting out quantities of hair, cereal and flaxseeds in a six-by-three-foot grid on both hardwood floor and carpet and measuring the amount of pickup during a standard cleaning cycle.

Hardwood floor:

I was generally happy with how the robot vacuum performed on the hardwood floor. Robovacs tend to do a better job cleaning hard flooring, but I was a little disappointed by how much hair it failed to pick up. It seemed to be completely skipping over it, and some got trapped in the wheels. Pet owners will probably want to skip this robovac, as you’ll be left with fur on the floor.

That said, it was clear the reversible side brush did a great job collecting the small seeds from the sides of the room. The vacuum performed far better than the Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2 and was a lot more reliable for daily cleaning.

Carpet:

I was less impressed with the performance on carpet; since this is a mid-range vacuum, we should expect a middle-of-the-road performance. It struggled even more to pick up hair here, but thrived when picking up regular debris such as Rice Krispies.

Although these scores aren’t the best, when using the vacuum in my home over the course of a few days, I’ve been happy with the results. It left crisp vacuum lines in the carpet, and every room looked clean. I think the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is a good choice for everyday cleaning; it’s just not reliable for deep cleaning.

Unfortunately, for deeper cleaning from a robot vacuum, you will need to spend more money. If you live in a carpeted home, I would recommend the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete. Although it’s pricier, the result means you’ll spend less time following up with a handheld vacuum to deal with pet hair stuck in the carpet.

Mopping

To test how well the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro performs when mopping, I carried out my usual tests: soy sauce, mayonnaise and mud.

The robot vac did a great job of cleaning up every last drop with two passes of the room. More expensive flagship models feature heated mopping, but I think the Qrevo 2 Pro did a good job of getting my floors sparkling, even though it took a little longer since it had to do two passes to fully clean the floor.

After mopping, the dock will also clean and sock the mop pads at 167ºF before quietly drying them with 113ºF warm air. This is a feature I’m familiar with from flagship models, so it’s great to see it in a mid-range option. You don't get this luxury with the Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2, as you need to remove the mop pads and wash them yourself.

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review: Storage & maintenance

The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro can maintain itself for up to 65 days, depending on usage. After each clean, the onboard dustbin empties into the dustbag in the dock. This bag has a capacity of 2.7 liters.

On top of the Roborock dock station are two four-liter tanks: one for clean water and one for dirty water. Both can be removed for refilling and emptying. Once removed, they expose a hatch, which is where the removable dustbag can be found. It’s easy to access these components, and they’re not too heavy even when full, thanks to the handles.

The four-liter clean water tank is used for cleaning the mops and for refilling the robovac’s onboard water tank. The dirty water tank needs to be emptied regularly, but it can be left for up to 65 days. I prefer to empty it more regularly to avoid any unwanted smells.

The Qrevo 2 Pro is a lot smaller than flagship models, making it a great choice if you’re short on space in your home. You just need to make sure you have a power outlet nearby to plug it in and that the robot has enough space to reverse back into the dock.

Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review: Verdict

I think the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is a good choice for its mid-range price tag and effective vacuuming. The mopping performance is also good with circular rotating mops that scrub the floors to lift away all the grime.

The smaller docking station is ideal for smaller homes, and maintenance is still easy with up to 65 days of storage in the self-emptying dustbag and water tank. Mapping is also accurate and easy to set up in the Roborock app.

Unfortunately, the vacuum doesn’t do the best job when dealing with hair and has a tendency to bump into some obstacles with force. For anyone with hard floors who wants something to help with daily cleaning, the Qrevo 2 Pro is a good option because despite its flaws, it’s still great value for money.
