Roborock Qrevo S Pro

It's that time of year again when Roborock decides to flood the market with a new variant of its Qrevo series, trying to occupy every single square centimeter of that mid-range that now offers mind-blowing performance.

At first glance, we have to admit, these robots are all starting to look a bit too similar. On the other hand, with so many models released every twelve months, a sense of déjà vu is always present (but hey, as long as they clean well, we won't be complaining too much). The Qrevo S Pro is positioned as a sensible upgrade from the base model, focusing entirely on a more advanced service station and small but significant technological upgrades that should justify the list price of around CHF 550. The Chinese brand's philosophy remains to offer a solid technological package, without the excessive frills of flagship models but with all the substance needed to handle daily cleaning without having to call for assistance every other day.

The specifications of the little beast

Under the hood, the Qrevo S Pro boasts a nominal suction power of 18,500 Pa, a figure that on paper puts it in competition with the giants of the sector (although, as we'll see, a Pascal number doesn't always mean spotless carpets). The cleaning system relies on two rotating mops that spin at 200 rpm and can be raised by 10 mm when the sensor detects a carpet, avoiding wetting the precious fibers of your Harry Potter carpet.

Navigation is handled by the classic LiDAR turret, which ensures rapid and precise mapping even in total darkness, while the 5,200 mAh battery promises up to 180 minutes of battery life (more than enough to clean a mansion or a large Swiss apartment). The multifunction station handles dust emptying, filling the 80 ml internal tank, and most importantly, washing the mops with very hot water at 75°C, followed by hot air drying at 45°C to prevent the formation of unwelcoming bacterial colonies.

Roborock Design

From an aesthetic point of view, the robot doesn't revolutionize anything, with the classic circular shape and a construction almost entirely made of plastic that may seem a tad cheap to the touch compared to some more premium competitors, but which in practice proves to be robust and resistant to impacts (after all, it has to clean floors, not walk in a fashion show).

The dock has a rather discreet and streamlined design, easier to blend into the decor than some of the larger models of the past. On top, we find the 4-liter clean water tanks and 3.5-liter dirty water tanks, easily accessible thanks to very comfortable integrated handles. We were, however, a little disappointed that, despite the Pro suffix, there's no automatic detergent dispenser in the dock, forcing us to be a little chemically conscious every time we refill the tank (an absence that's starting to feel uncomfortable in 2026). Furthermore, the fixed LiDAR turret doesn't lower like on higher-end models, bringing the overall height to 96.5 mm; so, make sure your furniture has enough space for it to pass through without getting stuck.

Floor test

In the field, the Qrevo S Pro performs admirably, especially on hard floors where LiDAR navigation and obstacle sensors allow for quick and systematic cleaning, avoiding shoes and toys with surgical precision. The FlexiArm feature allows one of the mops to extend laterally for better access to edges and corners, a noticeable upgrade compared to previous generations that always left that annoying trail of dust along the baseboards.

However, the claimed suction power doesn't seem to translate into miraculous results on thicker carpets, where we noticed the robot tends to leave behind some hair or debris unless set to maximum mode (which, however, is significantly noisier). The hot wash system for the mops, on the other hand, is very good: after the stationary cycle, the cloths are effectively clean and sanitized, drastically reducing the need to machine wash them every week. The Roborock app remains the industry benchmark for its clean interface and number of options, allowing you to customize every single cleaning parameter with just a few taps.

Conclusion

The Roborock Qrevo S Pro is a solid robot vacuum cleaner that sits comfortably in the mid-range category, offering features that until recently were reserved for the very top of the range. While its build isn't the most luxurious on the market, and its carpet suction isn't top-notch, its balance of cleaning efficiency, software intelligence, and docking station autonomy makes it a highly recommended purchase for those with a lot of hard floors and looking for a robot that practically manages itself. The lack of automatic soap dispensing and the height of the vacuum cleaner tower are a bit of a disappointment, but considering it occasionally comes on sale, it's hard to expect more from a mechanical butler that washes its clothes in 75°C water.
