Introduction
The Roborock Qrevo S Pro and the Roborock Qrevo S5V represent two offerings within Roborock's mid-to-high range of robot vacuum cleaners. The former will arrive in 2026, whilst the latter is already part of the 2025 catalogue. We're looking at two units with a multifunction base that includes auto-emptying, mop washing and hot air drying, designed for users seeking complete automation without compromising on good results in both vacuuming and mopping.
Both models share many structural and functional characteristics, but there are technical differences worth analysing before making a decision. The choice between one or the other will depend on each household's priorities: suction power, brush type or specific functions such as mop extension for edges.
Power and Suction
Suction power marks one of the most relevant differences in this robot vacuum cleaner comparison. The Roborock Qrevo S Pro reaches 18,500 Pa, a figure notably higher than the Qrevo S5V's 12,000 Pa. This difference translates into greater capacity to vacuum ingrained dust, adhered dirt and heavier debris, especially on medium or long pile carpets.
The main brush also varies between both models. The Qrevo S5V integrates the DuoDivide anti-tangle system, specifically designed to prevent long hairs and fibres from wrapping around the roller. This is particularly useful in homes with pets or people with long hair. The Qrevo S Pro, on the other hand, features a simple brush without this specific anti-tangle technology.
Both units have an anti-tangle side brush, but neither incorporates lifting or side extension functions. They also don't lift the main brush during mopping, something common in this price range.
Mopping
Both robots use a two rotating mop system, which is the standard in Roborock models with a multifunction base. Mop lift reaches 10 mm in both cases, sufficient to avoid wetting thin carpets or traversing small obstacles without dragging moisture.
The most notable difference here is that the Qrevo S5V includes mop extension to better reach edges and corners, something the S Pro doesn't offer. This can make a difference in kitchens or bathrooms with skirting boards, where the extendable mop allows more thorough mopping without leaving uncleaned strips.
Regarding mop maintenance, the Roborock Qrevo S Pro washes the mops with hot water in the base, which helps to better dissolve grease and adhered dirt. The Qrevo S5V performs this washing with cold water, although both dry the mops with hot air to prevent bad odours and bacterial growth. Neither automatically removes the mops in the base nor detects dirt on mops or floor for automatic re-mopping.
Navigation System
Both Roborock robot vacuum cleaners employ LiDAR 3.0 turret to map the home and plan efficient routes. They have obstacle avoidance, although neither integrates a front camera with artificial intelligence, front 3D laser sensor, pet or curtain recognition, nor remote camera access.
The Roborock Qrevo S Pro incorporates SmartPlan 2.0, an evolution of the SmartPlan 1.0 present in the S5V. Although the table doesn't detail the specific differences between versions, updates of this type typically improve route planning, zone management and cleaning time optimisation. Both models are compatible with external voice assistants such as Alexa or Google Home.
Autonomy and Battery
Both units feature a 5,200 mAh battery that provides 180 minutes of autonomy. This capacity is sufficient for medium or large-sized homes, allowing cleaning cycles to be completed without the need for intermediate recharges in most cases. The robot's dust bins have a 330 ml capacity, whilst the water tank reaches 80 ml in both models.
Smart Functions
Both robots can overcome thresholds of up to 20 mm, which facilitates transit between rooms with small level changes or passage over cables and thick carpets. Neither incorporates a robotic arm nor its own voice assistant.
Multifunction Cleaning Base
The bases of both models share structure and main functionalities. They include auto-emptying of the dust bin into a 2.7-litre bag, mop washing and hot air drying. The clean water tanks reach 4 litres, and the dirty water tanks 3.5 litres, generous dimensions that allow several cleaning cycles without manual intervention.
As already mentioned, the Qrevo S Pro washes the mops with hot water, whilst the S5V does so with cold water. Neither includes tray self-cleaning, UV disinfection, detergent tank, nor integrated plumbing connection or optional kit.
Dimensions
The diameter of both robots is 353 mm, with a height of 96.5 mm. This height allows the units to access under most standard furniture, although it's advisable to measure sofas or low beds beforehand if you want to guarantee passage.
The bases measure 340 mm in width and 487 mm in depth in both cases. The base height of the Qrevo S Pro is 519 mm, compared to the S5V's 521 mm, a minimal difference that doesn't affect the practical positioning of the unit.
Real-world user experience
The Roborock Qrevo S Pro is more suitable for homes that prioritise vacuuming power, especially if there are carpets or pets that shed a lot of hair. The 18,500 Pa of suction guarantees a deeper result on these types of surfaces. Mop washing with hot water also provides an extra benefit in kitchens or areas with accumulated grease.
The Qrevo S5V, with its DuoDivide anti-tangle brush and extendable mops, is better suited to homes with long-haired pets or families where brush maintenance could be a problem. Mop extension notably improves mopping on edges, something that's appreciated in bathrooms and kitchens with many corners.
Both models offer sufficient autonomy for large homes and have multifunction bases that minimise maintenance. The ability to overcome 20 mm thresholds facilitates cleaning in homes with small level changes.
Conclusion: Which one to choose?
Choose the Roborock Qrevo S Pro if... you're looking for the highest possible suction power within this range, you have thick carpets or pets that generate a lot of dirt, and you value mop washing with hot water for a more hygienic result. Also if you prefer the latest version of SmartPlan for more optimised planning.
Choose the Roborock Qrevo S5V if... your home has long-haired pets or family members with long hair and you want to avoid constant maintenance of the main brush. Also if you need the mops to better reach edges and corners, something that makes a difference in bathrooms and kitchens. The 12,000 Pa power is still sufficient for most hard floors and short pile carpets.
In short, this comparison between the Roborock Qrevo S Pro and the Qrevo S5V shows two very comprehensive robot vacuum cleaners that differ mainly in power, brush type and specific mopping functions. Which robot to choose will depend on whether you prioritise the brute force of suction or the convenience of maintenance and edge mopping.
