T3's Roborock Qrevo Master review in a sentence: Packed full of features that make it ideally suited to both hard floors and carpets too.
I’ve tried a few robot vacuums over the last few years and can definitely see the appeal. Even more so when I’ve got hard wooden floors throughout the downstairs arear of my property. Floor coverings like wood and vinyl are perfect for the best robot vacuum cleaners and the new Roborock Qrevo Master is a premium option that can do a little bit of everything.
While robot vacuums still can’t quite take the place of traditional floor cleaning appliances, they are so good now that not only can they tackle your floors with pinpoint accuracy, some models have the additional benefit of mopping. This means I can use a robot vac to take on stains on hard floors as well as handling the seemingly endless build up of dust, fluff and food crumbs.
Granted, I do need to use the robot route more frequently than doing a proper deep clean with a standard issue vacuum. Equally though, used little and often, the robot vacuum makes light work of keeping the house spick and span with the benefit of using an app to manage its activities.
You might prefer to investigate the best vacuum cleaners if you prefer something that plugs in to the mains, however, as there’s plenty of choice on that front too. In the meantime, here’s what I think of the Roborock Qrevo Master.
Roborock Qrevo Master review: Price and availability
The Roborock Qrevo Master is available from the likes of Amazon with a retail price of £1199. It’s available in either black or white. While that might seem like a lot, this model does come with a lot of additional features not found on lowlier models, even those in the existing Roborock range.
Roborock Qrevo Master review: Is it any good?
I’d certainly be willing to invest in the Roborock Qrevo Master if I was looking to move on up from a cheaper robot vacuum, but the high price tag did make me wince prior to taking it out of the huge box it arrives in. The size of the box gives a hint at what to expect though, with a main docking unit and the robot vacuum itself forming the bulk of the package. Roborock also includes the twin mops and, usefully, a plug adapter that allows it to be powered using UK or European electric sockets.
On initial inspection, the overall build quality of the Roborock Qrevo Master does appear to be good, although as always, the plethora of plastic on offer slightly distracts from its overall look. This is most noticeable with the docking station, which also features two sizeable bin sections that sit on the top of the unit. There’s the size to consider carefully too, with the dock having dimensions of 340 x 487 x 521mm. The robot has a size of 350 x 353 x 103mm. Add it all up and the Roborock Qrevo Master is a chunky thing. It weighs 16.2kg all in too.
Aside from the bulk though, the Roborock Qrevo Master is top of the tree when it’s compared alongside other Roborock robots, like the Roborick Qrevo MaxV and the Roborock Qrevo Pro. Therefore, the feature list includes a flexi arm side brush, mopping system, dual rollers, hot water mop washing, intelligent direct detection, dock self-cleaning, an intelligent voice assistant, reactive AI obstacle recognition, lots of power thanks to the 10,000 pa suction and the practicality of auto brush and mop lifting. The others are not quite as fully featured.
Roborock Qrevo Master review: Performance
The specification of the Roborock Qrevo Master is impressive and that is also certainly borne out once it’s put to work. A lot of this is down to the dazzling array of features and functions, with the FlexiArm design being one of the highlights that allows this model to get into all the corners. The suction is impressive as well, while the dual rollers are very capable at getting everything up, from crumbs through to finer areas of fluff and hair. Add it all together and I think the Roborock Qrevo Master has to be one of the best robot vacuums I’ve tried.
Better still though, the Roborock Qrevo Master is great for mopping too, with much of the appeal lying in that substantial docking unit. The design enables hot water remop and rewash procedures to happen with very little in the way of intervention needed. The mopping works very well on top of that, with a perfect mix of enough moisture without leaving much in the way of damp residue. That’s a real boon to me as my floors are susceptible to moisture, so they need to be dried on the go, but this model actually has 30 different levels of water flow options. That’s awesome.
I did still tend to run an absorbent cloth over the floor when I used this feature, but equally, I think I’d be happy to trust the Roborock Qrevo Master to get on with the job if I wasn’t around. Also super useful is the supporting app, which allows you to have pinpoint management of all the features and functions. I rather liked the voice control options too while I was relaxing on the sofa with my feet up.
Even more impressive with this model is its carpet cleaning capabilities. Normally, I’d bypass a robot vacuum for a conventional model when cleaning fibre floor coverings. The Roborock Qrevo Master, though, proves very adept at handling these surfaces. It’s an impressive thing, made even better thanks to the anti-tangle dual brushes, which minimizes the fear of them getting all bunged up.
Roborock Qrevo Master review: Verdict
The Roborock Qrevo Master might be expensive, but what it delivers in return for that high price is a fantastic all-round cleaning experience. This robot vacuum really does pack in every kind of feature I could want, can tackle a full array of floor types and finishes and is low-maintenance into the bargain. The app is excellent, allowing me to control all of the functionality while the quality of the cleaning is second to none.
Roborock Qrevo Master review: Alternatives to consider
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra still sits at the head of our best robot vacuum guide and it’s easy to see why. However, there are plenty of alternative choices if you’re not convinced with the Roborock brand, with the iRobot Roomba Combo J9+ being a solid option. It also does a little bit of everything.
Similarly, the Switchbot Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ is a premium performer but also has the benfit of being a little bit more compact if space is tight for storage. I still like the eufy Clean X8 Pro machine too, which is a little older now but still represents good value and works really well. Elsewhere, have a look at the eufy X9 Pro as well as the good value iRobot Roomba j7+.
