Roborock Qrevo S5V The Roborock Qrevo S5V is a well-priced robot vacuum and a highly-capable autonomous floor cleaning system. It cleans hard floors and carpets very well, and gets into the corners and underneath furniture with ease. Higher-end models boast greater capacities, but this bot can get the job done in the average home without breaking the bank.
I’ve tested the very best robot vacs that Roborock has to offer — from the do-it-all Saros 10R to the all-that-plus-a-robot-arm Saros Z70 — but I’m super pleased that the brand can also produce an efficient and capable cleaning machine for those on a budget. I’ve been running the $899 Roborock Qrevo S5V for over two weeks of automated floor cleaning tasks and found that it competently vacuumed and mopped my floors autonomously and quietly without a fuss.
With 12,000 Pa of suction pressure, a zero-tangle hair system, and brushes and mop pads that extend for edge-to-edge cleaning, this mid-tier vacuum is another example of why Roborock is a robot vacuum brand that can deliver at all price points.
This sub-$1,000 bot can’t be that good, can it?

In terms of the overall Roborock line of robot floor cleaners, the difference between an entry-level unit and the best of the best usually comes down to the maximum capabilities, and while the new Qrevo S5V offers a respectable 12,000 Pa of suction pressure, the best on the market are pushing 22,000 Pa and more. The premium bots will suck the deepest dirt out of your deepest carpets, but if your space is a little easier to clean, the Qrevo S5V does a superb job at picking up your regular day-to-day debris from hard floors and low-pile carpets.
With the Qrevo S5V, you get a standard-looking round bot and a capable base station. The bot uses imaging to map and navigate, along with a LiDAR turret to take things to the next level. The bot is still fairly slim and able to fit under most furniture.

The Qrevo S5V is equipped with Roborock’s FlexiArm tool for both the front right brush and the right rear mop pad. These extend the cleaning surfaces out of the side of the bot in order to reach the edge of your wall and into corners. This is also very helpful when dealing with tricky furniture legs. The mop pad also lifts up out of the way when it crosses carpets; no point getting those all wet. Better yet, you can choose to have the bot clean carpets first, so the mop pads are dry anyway.
The Qrevo S5V features LiDAR navigation, auto-empty and cleaning base station, and months of maintenance-free operation.
