Roborock QV 35S

Introduction

The Roborock QV 35S arrives on the market in 2025 as an intelligent vacuum cleaner equipped with a complete multifunction base. With 10000 Pa of suction power and a dual rotating mop system, this model positions itself as a solution designed for those seeking to automate both vacuuming and mopping without constantly intervening in maintenance.

Power and Cleaning System

The 10000 Pa power enables the Roborock QV 35S to tackle everything from fine dust to more stubborn debris on different surfaces. The single silicone main brush facilitates the cleaning of hair and reduces the typical tangles that traditional bristle brushes present. It proves especially useful in homes with pets, where long hair tends to be a recurring problem. Additionally, it incorporates anti-tangle technology at the ends of the main brush, minimising the need for manual untangling. The side brush also features an anti-tangle system, completing a design intended to reduce daily maintenance. This robot mop overcomes obstacles up to 20 mm, allowing it to move without problems over medium-thickness carpets or small level differences between rooms.

Mopping System

The system of two rotating mops at 200 RPM provides active mopping that goes beyond simply dragging a damp cloth. The mops lift 10 mm when the robot detects carpets or rugs, preventing them from getting wet during the cleaning process. The multifunction base automatically washes the mops with cold water during the cleaning session, allowing the unit to always mop with clean mops. Upon completion, it dries them with cold air to prevent bad odours. This automatic cycle makes the difference compared to models that simply drag a mop that progressively becomes dirty. The 4-litre clean water tank and the 3.5-litre dirty water tank offer sufficient capacity to clean large surfaces without needing to constantly refill or empty.

Navigation and Intelligence

Navigation is based on a 360° LIDAR turret, which maps the home with precision and plans efficient routes. The system includes obstacle avoidance, although it does not incorporate an artificial intelligence camera or front 3D laser sensors. In practice, this means that the robot avoids basic objects but does not perform advanced recognition of specific elements such as pets or curtains. The Roborock QV 35S integrates basic SmartPlan, a function that adapts cleaning according to the type of room, optimising the route without requiring complex manual configuration.

Autonomy and Practical Use

The 5200 mAh battery provides up to 180 minutes of autonomy, sufficient to cover sizeable homes in a single session. The robot's dust container has a capacity of 330 ml, whilst the integrated water tank reaches 80 ml. With dimensions of 353 mm in diameter and 96.5 mm in height, this intelligent vacuum cleaner accesses beneath most standard furniture without difficulty. The ability to overcome 20 mm obstacles facilitates movement between rooms with different flooring or small steps.

Base and Maintenance

The Roborock QV 35S multifunction base manages three fundamental tasks: auto-emptying of the dust container into a 2.7-litre bag, automatic washing of the mops during and after cleaning, and drying them with cold air. The base dimensions are 340 mm wide, 521 mm high and 487 mm deep, requiring dedicated but reasonable space. It does not include a self-cleaning system for the washing tray or UV disinfection, nor a detergent tank or the possibility of connection to plumbing. Maintenance is limited to changing the dust bag every several weeks and refilling the clean water tank according to use.

Conclusion

The Roborock QV 35S proves suitable for homes seeking to fully automate cleaning without excessive technical complications. Its combination of power, anti-tangle system and multifunction base makes it a practical option for medium to large-sized homes, especially when there are pets or one prefers to minimise manual contact with dirt.
