Introduction
The Roborock Qrevo family expands with three offerings that share the same architecture but differ in specific performance aspects. The Roborock Qrevo S Pro will arrive in 2026 as the most powerful version, whilst the Roborock Qrevo S5V and the Roborock QV 35A have been available since 2025. All three integrate a multifunction base with mop washing and drying, which guarantees complete mopping without manual intervention.
These models are designed for those seeking total automation in home maintenance, especially in medium-to-large homes where the 180-minute autonomy proves sufficient. The main difference lies in suction power and some details of the mopping system that are worth analysing before making a decision.
Power and Suction
Suction power marks clear distances in this robot vacuum comparison. The Roborock Qrevo S Pro reaches 18,500 Pa, a figure that places it in the highest market range and allows it to tackle medium-pile carpets without problems. The Qrevo S5V remains at 12,000 Pa, sufficient for most homes with hard floors and thin carpets. The QV 35A, with 8,000 Pa, covers basic needs in homes without thick carpets.
Regarding the main brush, the S5V incorporates Roborock's DuoDivide system, designed to push hair and strands towards the central suction gap and reduce tangles. It's a real advantage if you live with pets or people with long hair. The S Pro and QV 35A feature a simple brush, functional but more prone to accumulating hair.
All three models include an anti-tangle side brush, although none offers lateral extension for corners or elevation during mopping. This may be particularly noticeable in corners where the side brush remains active whilst mopping, although it doesn't usually cause problems in practice.
Mopping
The mopping system uses two rotating mops in all three cases, with 10 mm elevation to climb onto carpets without wetting them. The main difference lies in the Qrevo S5V's mop extension, which allows better reach of edges and skirting boards. Neither the S Pro nor the QV 35A feature this function, which slightly limits their perimeter mopping capability.
None of these robots mop the floor with hot water nor automatically detach the mops at the base to perform vacuum-only tasks. They also don't integrate dirt detection to re-clean particularly stained areas.
Navigation System
All three Roborock robot vacuums share a LiDAR turret for mapping the home and an obstacle avoidance system. They don't incorporate a front AI camera, 3D laser sensor or specific recognition of pets or curtains. They also don't offer remote camera access or LED for night vision.
All include intelligent cleaning via SmartPlan, which adapts routes and power according to the type of surface detected. It's an effective system that doesn't require a camera to function correctly in most homes.
Autonomy and Battery
The 5,200 mAh battery provides 180 minutes of autonomy in all three models. It's a more than sufficient figure for homes of up to 200 m² in a single cycle, even combining vacuuming and mopping. Charging time isn't specified, but in practice it usually takes around three hours for a complete recharge.
Smart Features
The obstacle-crossing capability reaches 20 mm in all three units, which allows them to overcome thick cables, expansion joints and small level differences between rooms. It's a standard value in Roborock's mid-to-high range.
All are compatible with external voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Home, facilitating control by commands without needing to open the app.
Multifunction Cleaning Base
Here appears a fundamental difference between the best robot vacuum of the three and its more economical alternatives. The Roborock Qrevo S Pro washes the mops with hot water at 60°C and dries them with hot air at 45°C. This speeds up drying, reduces bad odours and improves the hygiene of the mopping system.
The Qrevo S5V and QV 35A wash with cold water and dry with cold air. The process is slower and can generate residual moisture if the environment doesn't have good ventilation. For homes with pets or small children, the difference may be noticeable in medium-term maintenance.
All three models share a 2.7-litre dust bag, 4-litre clean water tank and 3.5-litre dirty water tank. None includes tray auto-cleaning, UV disinfection, detergent tank or connection to plumbing. There's also no optional kit to connect to the water mains.
Dimensions
The diameter of 353 mm and height of 96.5 mm are identical in all three robots. They can pass under furniture with 10 cm of clearance, a standard common for sofas and beds.
The bases measure 340 mm wide and 487 mm deep. The only difference is in height: 519 mm in the S Pro versus 521 mm in the S5V and QV 35A. It's barely two millimetres that don't affect the space needed to install the base.
Real-World User Experience
The Roborock Qrevo S Pro stands out in large homes with medium-pile carpets where the 18,500 Pa power makes a difference. Washing and drying with hot water and air simplify maintenance and improve hygiene, something appreciated in homes with pets or ambient humidity.
The Qrevo S5V balances sufficient power with the DuoDivide system, ideal if hair is a recurring problem. The mop extension improves perimeter mopping, which proves useful in kitchens and bathrooms with difficult skirting boards. It's a versatile option for medium-sized homes without very thick carpets.
The QV 35A covers basic needs in small flats with hard floors and thin carpets. The 8,000 Pa power may fall short if there are pets with abundant hair or long-pile carpets. Washing and drying with cold water and air require somewhat more attention to avoid odours.
Conclusion: Which to Choose?
Choose the Roborock Qrevo S Pro if you're looking for maximum suction power, have medium or high-pile carpets, and value washing and drying with temperature to reduce maintenance and improve hygiene. It's the most complete option for large homes where total automation is a priority.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo S5V if you live with pets or long hair and need the DuoDivide system to avoid tangles. The mop extension improves edge mopping, and the 12,000 Pa power is sufficient for most homes without very thick carpets. It's the most interesting balance in this comparison between Roborock models.
Choose the Roborock QV 35A if your home is small, with hard floors or thin carpets, and you're looking for an automated solution without needing extreme power. It's the most economical option of the three, although it's advisable to monitor mop maintenance when using cold air for drying.
