The Roborock Qrevo Master can even handle dirt from corners.
I have spent about a month with the high-end Roborock Qrevo Master vacuum cleaner and I have been thrilled by its suction power, great design and, above all, its ability to clean even in corners, although it has a price that is not accompanied.
For about a month I have had the opportunity to test the Qrevo Master from Roborock.
It is a high-end robot vacuum cleaner that has absolutely everything inside: A discreet and very elegant charging station that does not break the harmony of the home, a robot with excellent cleaning power that stands out, above all, for removing dust from corners thanks to its side brush and an application that is simply perfect.
To all this it adds a frankly good navigation system, the inclusion of floor scrubbing at 60ºC and an excellent battery that allows you to clean your whole house in a single go.
Now, there are a few things that haven’t completely convinced me, but to find out, I invite you to join me in this analysis of the Roborock Qrevo Master so you know what it can offer you.
Design: discreet and elegant station that does not break with the harmony of the home and a robot that follows the usual canons
The first thing to note is the charging station which, despite being quite large, has a very elegant and discreet design that does not break with the harmony of the home. Moreover, compared to other devices of the brand that I have had the pleasure of trying, it has given me the feeling that the station is considerably smaller, but without compromising on performance.
The key is that in the upper area there are only the 2 water tanks, which reduces the width, while in the central part is hidden the dirt tank that comes out when gently pulling the lid forward.
The best thing is that even when they have been reduced in size they have not lost capacity, as the station is somewhat deeper.
To make it clear: the water tank lasts for about 4 cleanings before you need to order more water for mopping and some more to empty the dirty water and the trash bag can last for about 5 to 7 weeks depending on use.
In addition to all this, it has several key functions to improve convenience, such as mopping with hot water at 60°C, a first for this generation, drying the mop at 45°C to prevent mold growth, emptying the rubbish bin and automatically filling the robot’s water tank, as well as serving as a base for charging the robot, of course.
A robot that follows the usual rules: small, round and flat so it can go under certain objects and clean underneath them. As you can imagine, the magic is hidden inside.
Firstly, thanks to the FlexiArm Design side brush that is capable of cleaning in corners and along edges, the main failing of this type of device, and which, honestly, is what I liked most about this Roborock Qrevo Master.
And secondly, for its navigation system, made up of an LSD laser and an RGB camera that is capable of avoiding obstacles by itself to minimize user intervention.
Cleaning: a marvel that can even handle dirt in corners
Where a cleaning robot has to excel is in the area of household cleaning and here it does so outstandingly. It doesn’t get an A for a couple of things that haven’t quite convinced me, but it’s easy to overlook how well it works.
Its credentials? A suction power of 10,000 Pa, scrubbing of 200 RPM, DuoRollerRiser Brush cleaning, the side brush I mentioned before, and all with a noise level of just 67 dB. Yes, it makes a sound when you have it nearby, but it’s not annoying unless you apply maximum suction power.
What this achieves is a clean and efficient cleaning, both in terms of dust collection and floor scrubbing.
Now, where does it fail? In its system for detecting carpets and objects.
It’s not a serious issue, I’m telling you, in the end what it does is mean it doesn’t get top marks in the cleaning section, but it does get a bit annoying.
As for the first point, I have a rather thin rug in the living room and it doesn’t matter if I mark it as a rug in the app or if I do my best to make the robot detect it. Whenever it is cleaning and reaches the rug, the robot goes crazy, moves it all over the place and when it is on top of it it does not activate the CarpetBooster+ suction that is integrated in the device.
On the second point, I think it does an excellent job of detecting objects, which by the way it marks on the map, but it’s not perfect.
I’ve already found on several occasions that it gets caught up in some loose cable or something similar, which means I have to get up to help the robot to continue cleaning and it doesn’t manage to be something totally autonomous that I don’t have to worry about.
Otherwise, I can tell you that the cleaning of the Roborock Qrevo Master is a marvel that stands out, above all, for that side brush that can remove even dirt from corners and thus reduce the preparation work required for the robot to work as optimally as possible.
Application: there is no better companion
The Roborock application has been in operation for years now and, as you can imagine, it shows. Personally, I think it’s a real marvel and I don’t think there is a better cleaning companion than this app.
With it you can set up personalized cleaning routines based on your interests, create no-go zones where the robot can’t go, specify the type of floor in each room in your house so that the robot can take it into account when cleaning, or anything else you have in mind.
What’s more, it’s a very easy to use and frankly intuitive app, so in practically no time at all you’ll be as comfortable as a fish in water if it’s the first time you’ve used the application.
Battery: more than enough for a deep clean of your house
Inside, Roborock’s Qrevo Master hides a 5,200 mAh battery that is more than enough to clean any flat in one go.
According to the app, I have a cleaning area of 42 m2, it takes about 51 minutes to clean the whole house at maximum power and for that it consumes around 40%. I have also tested the turbo version of the robot, which uses the machine’s 10,000 Pa and the consumption rises to around 60%. That is to say, the machine is left with 60% or 40% respectively.
With this in mind, I don’t think you’ll have any problem cleaning the house without having to stop at the station. A station that charges the device from 0 to 100% in about 4 hours, a time that is obviously reduced if you need to charge less battery.
Verdict: Is the Roborock Qrevo Master worth it?
I found Roborock’s Qrevo Master to be a brilliant device.
It has an excellent cleaning system that can even handle dirt in corners thanks to its side brush, an outstanding app with which to set up any cleaning routine you have in mind, and an impeccable and very elegant design that does not break with the harmony of the home.
As I’ve already mentioned, it has its little problems, such as the detection of carpets and objects that sometimes fails and takes it away from an A grade, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that it is a fabulous robot vacuum cleaner.
However, it has a starting price of 1,299 euros, which I consider somewhat high and may put it out of reach for everyone, although it is in the same bracket as the competition.
