Introduction
Roborock presents three proposals within its Qrevo series launched between 2024 and 2025: the Qrevo Edge S5A, the Qrevo Master and the newly arrived Qrevo S5V. All three share the philosophy of combining vacuuming and mopping with a multifunctional base, but are designed for different user profiles. The Edge S5A stands out as the most powerful of the trio with its 18,500 Pa of suction, whilst the Master focuses on advanced artificial intelligence with dual camera and 3D laser sensor. The S5V, the most recent from 2025, seeks a balance between features and ease of use.
All of them include a multifunctional base that washes and dries the mops with hot water and air, which guarantees efficient mopping without bad odours. The 5,200 mAh battery is common to all three, as is the 180-minute runtime. However, differences in power, navigation and brushing systems mark clearly differentiated usage profiles.
Power and Suction
The most striking difference appears in suction power. The Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A leads with 18,500 Pa, almost double the Qrevo Master (10,000 Pa) and well above the S5V (12,000 Pa). In practice, this translates to greater capacity to extract embedded dirt from carpets or drag heavy particles such as sand or dry food debris.
The brushing system also varies. The Edge S5A and S5V are equipped with the DuoDivide Anti-tangle brush, specifically designed to push hair towards the central suction gap and minimise tangles. The Master, however, features a dual rubber brush that also reduces tangles but with a different approach. For homes with pets that shed a lot of hair, the DuoDivide tends to be more effective.
The Qrevo Master distinguishes itself by lifting its main brush during mopping, preventing it from touching wet carpets. Neither the Edge S5A nor the S5V have this function, although both lift the mops 10 mm to protect carpets.
Regarding the side brush, the Edge S5A and Master have an extension to better reach corners. The S5V lacks this feature. Additionally, the Edge S5A and S5V incorporate an anti-tangle side brush, whilst the Master does not specify this.
Mopping
All three robots use two rotating mops and extend them to reach edges. The 10 mm lift is identical on all, sufficient to pass over thin carpets without wetting them. The mopping water is cold in all three cases, and none automatically removes the mops at the base for vacuum-only sessions.
The big difference lies in dirt detection. The Qrevo Edge S5A and Qrevo Master detect dirt on both the mops and the floor, allowing them to re-mop particularly dirty areas or wash the mops more frequently. The S5V does not have this capability, so it performs standard mopping without automatic adjustments based on detected dirt level.
Regarding base maintenance, the Edge S5A incorporates tray self-cleaning version 2.0, the Master version 1.0 and the S5V lacks this function. This means that with the S5V you will need to manually clean the tray more frequently to avoid accumulation of residue and bad odours. Mop washing is carried out with hot water on all three, and drying with hot air, which helps keep the mops hygienic.
Navigation System
This is where the Roborock Qrevo Master sets itself apart. It integrates dual camera with artificial intelligence, front 3D laser sensor and night vision LED, allowing it to recognise up to 62 different types of obstacles, including pets. It also offers remote camera access, useful for monitoring the home whilst the robot cleans.
The Edge S5A and S5V make do with LiDAR turret navigation and basic obstacle avoidance, without cameras or 3D sensor. They do not recognise pets nor allow remote camera access. For homes with many objects on the floor or with animals, the Master offers much more precise and safe navigation.
All three models use the RR Mason 11.0 algorithm with SmartPlan intelligent cleaning, although on the S5V the exact processor version is not specified. None detect specific stains using AI, but the Master and Edge S5A compensate with dirt detection during mopping.
Runtime and Battery
The 5,200 mAh battery and 180-minute runtime are identical on all three robots. This allows coverage of medium-large sized homes in a single run, although the exact area will depend on the power used and whether simultaneous mopping is activated.
The robot's dustbin varies slightly: the S5V reaches 330 ml, the Edge S5A 325 ml and the Master stays at 220 ml. In practice, this may mean an extra emptying or two per month with the Master if you have a very large house or pets. The water tank is 80 ml on all three.
Smart Functions
All three overcome obstacles up to 20 mm in height, sufficient to pass over most cables, rugs and small level changes between rooms. None incorporates a robotic arm.
The Qrevo Master is the only one with its own built-in voice assistant, allowing you to give it commands directly without needing to use your mobile or external speakers. All three are compatible with Alexa and Google Home.
Multifunctional Cleaning Base
All three bases share dimensions (340 x 521 x 487 mm) and capacities: 2.7-litre dust bag, 4-litre clean water tank and 3.5-litre dirty water tank. All perform auto-emptying, hot water washing and hot air drying.
The key difference lies in the washing tray self-cleaning. The Edge S5A features version 2.0, the Master 1.0 and the S5V does not have this function. This directly affects maintenance: the more advanced the self-cleaning, the less you will need to intervene manually.
None of the three bases include a detergent tank, UV disinfection or connection to water pipes. There is also no optional kit to connect to pipes.
Dimensions
The Roborock Qrevo S5V is the lowest at 96.5 mm in height, followed very closely by the Edge S5A at 98 mm. The Master reaches 103 mm. Those 6.5 mm of difference can make the difference if you have low furniture: the S5V will fit where the others cannot reach.
The diameter is practically identical: 352 mm on the Edge S5A and 353 mm on Master and S5V. The bases have exactly the same measurements on all three models.
Real-World Usage Experience
For large homes with thick carpets or very dirty floors, the Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A offers the highest suction power and the best anti-tangle brush. Its ability to detect dirt and the tray self-cleaning 2.0 make it a very autonomous option that requires little maintenance.
If you have pets or a house with many obstacles, the Qrevo Master stands out for its intelligent navigation with dual camera and recognition of 62 objects. Remote camera access and the built-in voice assistant add convenience. Its liftable main brush better protects carpets during mopping, although its lower suction power may be noticeable on long-pile carpets.
The Roborock Qrevo S5V is the simplest and most compact option. Its lower height allows it to slip under low furniture, and its dustbin is the largest of the trio. However, it lacks dirt detection and tray self-cleaning, so it requires more manual attention. It is suitable for homes without too many complications, with predominantly hard floors and without pets that shed a lot of hair.
Conclusion: Which to Choose?
Choose the Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A if you seek maximum suction power and have thick carpets or pets. Its DuoDivide anti-tangle system, dirt detection and tray self-cleaning 2.0 make it the most autonomous and powerful of the three. Ideal for large homes where cleaning efficiency is a priority.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo Master if you value intelligent navigation above all else. Its dual camera, 3D sensor, pet recognition and remote access make it perfect for homes with animals, young children or many obstacles. The built-in voice assistant and liftable main brush are extras that add convenience. Accept somewhat less power in exchange for advanced artificial intelligence.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo S5V if you prefer a compact and simple robot that can slip under low furniture. Its 96.5 mm height is the lowest, and its dustbin the largest. It is a good option for medium-sized homes with hard floors and no complications, provided you do not mind carrying out a bit more manual maintenance on the base. Adjusted value for money for users who do not need advanced AI functions.
