Roborock Qrevo Edge: Two-minute evaluation
Roborock has been making glorious robotic vacuums for some time now, with the Qrevo sequence stepping it up over the Q and S sequence bots. With extra suction energy and a wider characteristic set in comparison with older fashions, the Roborock Qrevo Slim and Roborock Qrevo Curv carried out very well in our exams. The Roborock Qrevo Edge joined its siblings in January 2025 and is sort of efficient at autonomous cleansing… supplied you utilize it for the day by day (or common) cleansing duties.
It’s primarily the love youngster of the Curv and the Slim: it makes use of the very same expertise as the previous with an an identical bot, however inherits the self-cleaning dock design from the latter. So as a substitute of a curvy dock, it’s a extra conventional design that’s easy to arrange and use.
It’s a nice-looking dock, however I query its lack of correct sealing. The lid of the dirty-water tank within the unit despatched to me for this evaluation had tiny gaps even after being clipped closed and I discovered that if I did not clear it out quickly after a mopping run, it might start to scent.
It’s related with the mud bag too, whereby I discovered that it will possibly emit a slight odor when the bin within the bot is being cleaned out routinely. Which means you may need to switch the mud bag earlier than obligatory which, in flip, will improve the continued prices of working the Qrevo Edge.
There’s not so much to complain about in relation to the robotic vacuum’s cleansing prowess so long as it’s not anticipated to deal with robust spills. There’s 18,500Pa of suction energy, which I discovered to be adequate to scrub up a carpet with hair or fur tangled within the fibers, though just a few strands at all times get left behind as robotic vacuums are meant as ongoing upkeep cleaners fairly than being the first cleansing equipment.
It’s additionally fairly good at selecting up wonderful powders and barely bigger particles like oats, but it surely often misses room edges. That’s not distinctive to the Qrevo Edge however, given its title, I used to be anticipating barely higher edge-cleaning efficiency.
Mopping, too, can be good in relation to day-to-day cleansing on laborious flooring and I discovered it was glorious at sensing the change in ground kind to boost its mop pads when obligatory. Nevertheless, regardless of the extending mop pads, it typically missed about an inch alongside the sides of a room throughout my testing, and it will possibly unfold robust moist spills (like ketchup or milk) throughout a ground if you happen to aren’t cautious with establishing the proper cleansing routine.
Roborock claims that the Qrevo Edge can deal with thresholds of as much as 4cm, which is true, but it surely’s price noting that it takes time to cross over, making an attempt to find out the perfect angle for it and the quantity of energy it must push itself over.
Whereas it excels at being an efficient autonomous cleaner for the day by day or common cleansing duties – and its SmartPlan characteristic is a sport changer in these circumstances – its lack of ability to deal with robust spills when doing a zone clear and get to room edges persistently makes it laborious to advocate at its premium value level.
Roborock Qrevo Edge evaluation: value & availability
- Checklist value: $1,599.99 / AU$2,799 (“coming quickly” to the UK)
- Launched: January 2025
- Out there: In choose markets, with wider availability later within the 12 months
The Qrevo Edge was launched just a few days earlier than the Roborock Saros 10 sequence was introduced at CES 2025 in January. In truth, the Edge is now a part of a duo, with the Qrevo EdgeC becoming a member of it in March at a cheaper price level and with some lacking options.
The Roborock Qrevo Edge will set you again $1,599.99 / AU$2,799 within the US and Australia at full value, but it surely’s already discounted right down to $1,299.99 / AU$2,499 when bought instantly from the Roborock on-line retailer. Some approved retailers are additionally providing the identical or a greater low cost in most markets the place it’s already accessible.
UK pricing and availability is but to be confirmed, but it surely’s positively being added to the Roborock catalogue because it’s listed as “coming quickly” on the British web site.
Regardless of the low cost, the Qrevo Edge continues to be an costly robotic vacuum cleaner. That’s exacerbated when you think about that the extra highly effective Roborock Saros 10 (22,000 Pa suction in comparison with 18,500 Pa within the Edge) is similar value within the US and AU$200 extra in Australia. It prices £1,499.99 within the UK. In truth, the Saros 10 has a retractable LiDAR puck that enables it to go beneath furnishings to scrub, doubtlessly making it a greater funding.
You will have to think about ongoing prices as properly. The mud bag would be the most frequent buy you make however, in some unspecified time in the future, you will have to switch the mop pads too as a consequence of put on and tear. These aren’t too costly as you gained’t want to switch them too typically (the mud bag has a 2.7L capability that might final you 2-3 months, relying on use), however if you happen to consider the Roborock detergent for mopping, that may rapidly add up.
If you happen to’re after good worth, one thing just like the Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni (or the T30 Professional Omni) could be perfect. It cleans simply in addition to the Qrevo Edge, if not higher, though it lacks a few of the options you’ll discover on the Roborock. Nonetheless, the bang for buck you get from related fashions to the Deebot is much more.

Roborock Qrevo Edge evaluation: design
- Smooth, fashionable dock
- Simple to arrange, however might require frequent cleansing
- Extending aspect mop and brush, anti-tangle cut up important curler
The Roborock Qrevo Edge’s design isn’t significantly standout – it’s nothing we haven’t seen earlier than – nonetheless, its white physique (dock and robotic) makes it look sleeker than its precise footprint would counsel.
The robotic is of an identical measurement to different fashions, and the dock’s tray – the place it sits to get cleaned and recharge – barely extends out past its radius, giving the impression of not taking over an excessive amount of area.
It’s fairly a tall dock although, so chances are you’ll not be capable to tuck it beneath a countertop or kitchen island, like you’ll be able to with the Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni, and also you’ll want a very good quantity of clearance to elevate the 2 tanks out of the dock. So it’s going to want somewhat open area round it.
Robotic design
The bot particularly might be very acquainted to anybody who’s ever seen a robovac earlier than, not to mention used one. The obvious characteristic on the round robotic is the puck-like LiDAR housing on the highest. The puck has the Roborock brand in a silver-grey colour that provides a contact of sophistication.
Additionally on prime is a magnetic cowl to maintain the 325ml onboard dustbin out of sight, with cutouts for the LiDAR puck and two buttons. You gained’t have to entry the dustbin a lot – solely to scrub the filter each from time to time or if the self-empty operate fails. Even the buttons should be used sparingly.
On the entrance there is a digital camera and extra navigation components. You should utilize the digital camera to run safety checks whilst you’re away or look in in your pets remotely. There’s additionally a lightweight on the entrance that comes on routinely if the robotic is cleansing in a darkish space or room.
A semicircular bumper protects the entrance, and it’s received simply sufficient give to soak up bumps into furnishings and bigger obstacles.
Picture 1 of 2
The undercarriage has so much occurring. Two massive wheels catch your consideration first and these assist the Qrevo Edge traverse thresholds of as much as 4cm excessive. Roborock calls this AdaptiLift, which has been inherited from the Curv and located its method into the newer Saros 10 as properly. There’s additionally a smaller wheel in the direction of the entrance of the robotic for higher maneuverability.
The primary curler brush is sort of not like some other I’ve seen earlier than. As a substitute of being a single bar, it’s made up of two items and cut up within the center. Each halves have bristles and fins and, to keep away from getting hair and fur tangled in mentioned bristles, Roborock says the cut up design helps strands get pushed to the center from the place they’re sucked into the bin.
There’s additionally a spinning aspect brush and, once more, it’s designed in a different way to what’s generally seen on different manufacturers. The comb has solely two units of lengthy bristles (in comparison with the standard three), each curved to keep away from hair entanglements and push dust and particles in the direction of the principle curler.
The arm that the comb is affixed to can lengthen outward to present the bristles an extended attain. Roborock calls this FlexiArm expertise and it’s additionally used to increase the mop pads as properly.
Picture 1 of 2
Once more, it’s a well-recognized design for the mops – two round pads hooked up to the plates by way of some critically robust Velcro. Throughout my testing I discovered that the pads lengthen out individually, by no means each concurrently I’ve seen on different manufacturers, and each could be raised 10mm to keep away from medium and high-pile carpets from getting moist.
In contrast to different premium fashions just like the Dreame X40 Ultra, the mops don’t detach if you need a vacuum-only run.
There’s, in fact, a small water reservoir tucked away someplace contained in the robotic, however the design is such you can’t see it in any respect. It will get stuffed routinely from the clean-water tank within the dock each time the bot must do a mopping session.
Dock design
Like many different premium all-in-one robotic vacuums, the Qrevo Edge’s self-cleaning dock is a do-it-all pit cease.
It homes two water tanks inside which could be pulled up from the highest. They’re each marked by totally different silver drops on a nook of their lids to distinguish them – one for clear water, the opposite collects soiled mop water.
Each look an identical, however nearer inspection reveals a small distinction in form, which permits the clean-water tank to have a bigger capability of 4L in comparison with 3.5L of soiled water. That’s fairly a bit and may permit for 2 mopping runs of a mean two-bedroom residence, if no more.
The tanks shut by way of a hinged lid that clips into place, however the seal isn’t nearly as good as I’ve seen in different all-in-one robovac fashions. This allowed a little bit of nasty odor to flee once I forgot to scrub out the soiled water after one cleansing session, which means you may wish to make sure the left-hand tank is washed out as quickly as attainable.
Picture 1 of 4
Beneath the water tanks is a lined nook for the mud bag. The quilt comes off very simply and changing the bag can be simply as simple.
As with different all-in-ones, the bottom tray that the robotic sits on has ridged sides, which permits the mop pads to be scrubbed once they’re being washed. Not solely can the dock refill the bot’s onboard water reservoir, empty the bin, wash the mop pads with scorching water (167ºF / 75ºC), then dry them with heat air (113ºF / 45ºC), however it will possibly additionally self-clean that tray.
General construct high quality isn’t too dangerous, however the lids on the water tanks not closing correctly takes away from the premium-ness of the entire design. Furthermore, the plastic dock – which isn’t unusual in any respect – simply doesn’t fairly exude oomph regardless of the silver particulars. It’s not that it appears low cost, it simply doesn’t look… properly, premium.

Roborock Qrevo Edge evaluation: efficiency
- Glorious vacuuming on larger settings; can deal with tangled hair in carpet fibers
- Mopping additionally superb on larger settings, however often misses edges
- SmartPlan is environment friendly by way of navigation and battery life, however the automated cleansing might not suffice
If there’s one factor Roborock does properly, it’s offering a straightforward setup for its robotic vacuums. My colleagues have mentioned beforehand that they’ve not confronted any setup points with different fashions from the model and it was the identical right here. In truth, you don’t even want the handbook to get you began, it’s all fairly intuitive.
As quickly because the robovac was linked to my Wi-Fi community, I checked how a lot battery it had and instantly despatched it off on its preliminary mapping run. This took simply six minutes to finish in a take a look at area measuring roughly 40sqm and containing a carpeted bed room and tiles in the remainder of the residence.
The preliminary map was fairly correct within the structure of the take a look at area, and I used to be then in a position to edit the rooms: including furnishings and dividing up open-plan areas into their right assigned names.
The take a look at area was single-storey, so I wasn’t in a position to see how properly the cliff sensors operate. It additionally had no pets, so I can’t touch upon how properly the Qrevo Edge’s pet avoidance options work, however I carried out all the opposite customary TechRadar exams to see the way it held up.
Vacuuming
The Qrevo Edge’s 18,500 Pa suction energy exhibits itself off fairly properly in relation to its vacuuming prowess. I discovered it very laborious to fault it, even when on decrease suction settings – albeit on laborious flooring that aren’t too soiled. The upper suction choices are very efficient on carpets, even these with entangled hair inside the fibers.
As with different Qrevo machines, there are 5 energy ranges to select from: Quiet, Balanced, Turbo, Max and Max+. Importantly, the app lets you select from only a single vacuum-only run or two, which means it will possibly tackle some robust jobs.
Nearly as good because the Qrevo Edge is at vacuuming, I do have to notice that you just shouldn’t anticipate perfection. I discovered that hair on carpets are largely sucked up – say about 98% of the strands – however some will stay. That is extra so if you happen to occur to have hair, fur or dust alongside the sides of a carpeted room because the aspect brush simply doesn’t have the drive to assemble these up and pull them in the direction of the central curler.
The proof is often within the pudding and once I checked out how a lot dust the Qrevo Edge collected after its first vacuum-only run (performed on the Max+ setting) in a single carpeted room, I used to be impressed that its larger suction did a far superior job than the 11,000 Pa Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni that it changed in my residence.
Even the Turbo and Max modes do a very good job on carpets, supplied you don’t have pets shedding on them copiously – they’re efficient for the standard dust-sucking chores. And I had no points with tangled hair on the principle curler brush.
To check how properly the Qrevo Edge can deal with other forms of dust and particles, I carried out TechRadar’s customary exams by sprinkling some oats, tea mud (from a teabag) and tea leaves onto a mid-pile carpet.
I first set the Qrevo Edge to do only a Zone clear for the carpet solely, which defaults to the SmartPlan setting whereby the bot chooses its personal suction mode relying on ground kind. As you’ll be able to see from the video clip beneath, it does a fairly good job, though its navigation on this mode is somewhat erratic.
Whereas all of the oats and tea leaves had been cleaned up, I may see some tea mud nonetheless on the carpet. As a comparability, I sprinkled somewhat extra mud from a teabag and used my Dyson V15s Detect Submarine in Auto mode to scrub it up and noticed related outcomes. I repeated the tea mud take a look at with the Qrevo Edge on the carpet in Max+ mode and located no motive to complain.
It’s a unique story on laborious flooring although. For the very same take a look at carried out on tiles, I discovered that the aspect brush scattered the bigger particles (oats) when doing a Zone clear on the default SmartPlan settings. The scattering occurs on all different settings, however when modified to doing a 2x vacuum at Max, it did a greater job.
The place it fails fairly badly is edge cleansing. I anticipated many of the tea mud I had scattered alongside a room edge on a tough ground to be picked up, however sadly that wasn’t the case. Even working it on a 2x vacuum-only run at Max+ made no distinction. I had to make use of the crevice software on my Dyson to scrub up the tea mud remaining on the ground.
Furthermore, in case you have gaps between tiles or wooden panels in your ground, wonderful mud will invariably get moved into the grouting or the gaps and even the Max+ setting does nothing to scrub that up. Bigger particles getting caught in these spots, although, will get cleaned, supplied you utilize the utmost suction setting.
To be truthful to the Qrevo Edge, although, robotic vacuums weren’t designed to be your main cleaner, however fairly for ongoing day-to-day or common cleans. You will nonetheless wish to have one of many best vacuum cleaners readily available for the harder jobs, significantly for carpets and sucking up dust from nooks and crannies.
Mopping
Like its vacuuming prowess, the Qrevo Edge does a very good job of mopping too – once more, provided that it’s not taxed by too many spills. The common cleansing jobs of dusty footprints and spilt water is great.
This mopping efficiency is helped by 4 water-flow ranges – Low, Medium, Excessive and Customized/Mild. I discovered the Low and Medium weren’t very efficient for the sort of tiles I had in my take a look at area, because the pads didn’t saturate sufficient for my wants and barely dampened the ground. Whereas that is glorious for delicate ground sorts (like some wooden panels), the Excessive setting was good for me and that’s what I left it at for the varied Routines I arrange by way of the app.
The Customized setting, whereas permitting you to decide on the water-flow degree, doesn’t ‘scrub’ in addition to the opposite three and that, once more, is nice for delicate ground sorts. If you happen to do want a greater clear, you’ll be able to set the robotic to sense areas of extreme dust and it’ll routinely return to do a second mop after it has washed the pads following the primary try. Throughout my testing, although, this characteristic failed more often than not.
Relying in your cleansing wants, you’ll be able to set the bot to mop-only, vacuum then mop, or do each directly. Personally, I’m not keen on the final possibility as I am somewhat paranoid that the mop pads will choose up extra dust and will not get washed correctly.
I discovered that it was additionally a good suggestion to assign the order by which it cleans rooms as this could scale back observe marks from its personal wheels over an space it has simply mopped – this may be performed within the app by simply modifying the saved map.
Like I did for vacuuming, I carried out a few mopping exams to see how properly the Qrevo Edge does.
Whereas we often use ketchup in our customary mopping take a look at, I had none on the time and used oyster sauce as a substitute. I allowed a small spill to dry out somewhat, but in addition plopped a few of the recent viscous liquid on one other a part of the ground to check the scrubbing motion on dry and moist messes.
Even with the water-flow price set at Excessive, the Qrevo Edge had minimal impact on the dried-out sauce on the Normal ‘route’. The route is how the robotic strikes by way of an area whereas cleansing and there are 4 choices for each vacuuming and mopping. After setting the robotic to do a 2x mop run within the Deep+ ‘route’ setting, although, many of the dried oyster sauce was cleaned, however not absolutely. I ended up wiping that spot myself.
Cleansing up a moist spill was one other matter altogether. On a default Zone run (which makes use of the SmartPlan possibility), the sauce was mopped however, in fact, received caught on the aspect brush (I’m glad I used to be in a position to rinse it), smeared the undercarriage and the mop pads left lengthy, brown streaks because the bot moved on.
After permitting it to return to the dock for a mop wash, I instantly set the Qrevo Edge to a 2x mop on the Excessive water setting to scrub up the remaining mess, which it did properly.
I’d anticipate conditions like these are excessive and most customers wouldn’t permit their robotic vacuum to come across such messes, but it surely’s price noting that it doesn’t deal with greater dry messes properly both. For instance, I sprinkled copious quantities of talcum powder on a moist lavatory ground, then allowed that to dry fully. On a Excessive water-flow setting, white streaks had been left on the toilet ground, very similar to the oyster sauce.
Whereas I can’t fault the Qrevo Edge’s mopping points because it’s not distinctive to it, I often discovered that it didn’t go all the best way to the sting of a room regardless of the prolonged mop pads. As a rule, about an inch of ground area alongside skirting boards would stay unmopped. And that was disappointing, significantly since this robotic vacuum comes at such a excessive value and, conspicuously, has ‘Edge’ in its title.
Navigation and impediment avoidance
For a day-to-day common cleansing run, I discovered the Qrevo Edge’s navigation to be impeccable. There are two Routes (or paths) you’ll be able to choose within the app when it’s vacuuming or vacuuming and mopping directly – Quick and Normal – however you’re supplied 4 if you go for mop solely – Quick, Normal, Deep and Deep+. These Routes decide how a lot of the ground will get lined and, after testing all of them, I discovered that the Qrevo Edge follows the chosen Route accurately.
The Route you go for will, in fact, have an effect on battery life and the app offers you a warning each time you modify navigation. Regardless of that, I personally most well-liked the Normal (for vacuuming) and Deep for mopping because the outcomes had been the perfect.
Importantly, choosing a 2x cleansing run will routinely immediate the Qrevo Edge to scrub within the reverse instructions for the 2 periods, which I assumed resulted in even higher outcomes than a single Deep mopping session.
The one time navigation was erratic was if I had chosen a Zone clear for a fast session, which defaults to the SmartPlan navigation. This makes use of deep studying to find out which a part of the zone or room the Qrevo Edge ought to clear first and I discovered its actions weren’t as exact on a carpet. It was barely higher on laborious flooring although.
Nonetheless, the SmartPlan navigation is sort of environment friendly. Having realized that there’s a medium-pile rug in my lounge, for instance, the Qrevo Edge at all times did a vacuum-only clear first on the rug, then went again to the dock to scrub its mop pads to scrub the remainder of the tiled living-room ground. On the rug, although, it wouldn’t at all times transfer in straight strains, however I didn’t see that it missed any spots.
The Qrevo Edge’s impediment avoidance could possibly be higher although. Whereas it manages to establish some obstacles in its path and place a marker on the map, this performance wasn’t constant. To check this additional, I positioned its personal packing field in its path as soon as and it didn’t add a marker on the map, but it surely did so for a chair I had moved from its unique location.
To verify its effectiveness avoiding smaller objects, I ran the usual TechRadar exams of putting a cable, a sock, a slipper (aka flip-flop or thong, relying on which a part of the world you reside in) and a shoe within the robotic’s path.
It practically swallowed the little sock, which received caught on the central curler, and due to the sock taking over area on the undercarriage, it ran over the cable with out getting entangled. The primary time it encountered the slipper, it went over it, however the subsequent occasions it simply pushed the light-weight rubber footwear alongside in entrance of it. The shoe was the one impediment it managed to keep away from every time it encountered it on its path.
This shouldn’t come as a shock although as most robotic vacuums have issue with the smaller obstacles and would chew up a slim charging cable or a sock. That’s why all manufacturers advocate you choose up the smaller gadgets earlier than you do a cleansing run.
That mentioned, Roborock does name out the Qrevo Edge’s impediment avoidance, so I anticipated extra. It’s completely wonderful for normal cleansing, however the efficiency doesn’t fairly match its excessive price ticket.
The robotic can use its onboard digital camera to take an image of the impediment and, if you faucet on the corresponding marker (if any) on the map within the app, it should come up. Each time I needed to do that characteristic with a selected impediment, it didn’t place a marker on the map. The one time it labored was for a chair that’s completely part of the map.
Dock efficiency
Apart from the little bit of dangerous odor I may scent once I hadn’t cleaned out the soiled water the day of the cleansing run, I can’t fault the dock’s efficiency. There’s loads of suction that pulls out practically each little bit of mud, particles and hair from inside the onboard dustbin.
The one factor I discovered within the bin after a self-empty was a skinny movie of wonderful mud alongside the perimeters, which is completely regular and could be washed out. Simply you should definitely absolutely dry out the bin earlier than putting it again into the robotic once more.
Picture 1 of 2
Even the washing appears satisfactory. On the time of writing, I’d used the Qrevo Edge for 2 months, working it a few occasions every week, and the mop pads nonetheless look good to me. That mentioned, I discovered the mop pads appeared so much higher after three months of utilizing the Ecovacs Deebot T30 Omni, and I additionally discovered the air drying to be more practical within the competitors because it makes use of scorching air fairly than heat as within the Qrevo Edge.
This implies the mop pads take longer to dry on the latter and, if there’s not plenty of air flow within the space you’ve positioned the robotic vacuum, you possibly can scent the pads if there’s even somewhat dampness left. Throughout my testing, I needed to improve the air-drying time to remove any smells.
One other indicator of how properly the mop washing works is the colour of the soiled water within the tank – it was at all times darkish brown, even when I ran the robotic on subsequent days, considering the ground wouldn’t be too soiled. Boy, was I unsuitable.
The dock’s self-cleaning options additionally consists of one for the tray the robotic sits on (and makes use of to clean the mop pads). That may get dirty too and the 5-minute self-cleaning session means you want the least quantity of labor to keep up this machine.
Picture 1 of 2
Battery life
Battery life is the place the Qrevo Edge really shines. It’s received a 6,400mAh pack that simply did a full clear session on Max suction and Normal/Excessive mop (on a vacuum-and-mop run) in a single go in my take a look at area and nonetheless often had about 36% battery left.
If I set the robotic to do 2x cleans at its highest settings, then it might run right down to about 12% battery, head again to the dock for about three hours, prime up until about 48% and end the remainder of its cleansing. That’s a formidable battery efficiency in my books contemplating it was doing power-intensive periods.
Roborock says that the Qrevo Edge is able to quick charging (as much as 30% faster than earlier fashions apparently), however I noticed no proof of that in my testing. Contemplating it took about three hours to get simply 40% topped up throughout my testing, I believe the perfect time to run these sorts of modes is if you’re away for the day – that method, you’ll be able to return to a clear residence and never get impatient with half a job performed.

Roborock Qrevo Edge evaluation: app
- Very detailed app as in comparison with a few of the competitors
- Provides loads of exact management
- Matches system darkish mode that appears very elegant
The Roborock app is arguably the best-designed I’ve used for a robotic vacuum cleaner. If you first obtain it, it should ask if you need it to match your telephone’s system settings, which implies it should routinely convert into darkish mode and I discovered that it appears very good certainly – colours pop and every little thing is clearly laid out.
It would take time to get used to the app, although, however that’s solely as a result of there’s so much occurring. In truth, I saved discovering quirks and higher methods to make use of the robotic all by way of my two-month testing interval. Whereas my take a look at area was a single-storey residence, the Roborock lets you save a number of ground maps and swap between them, though you’ll have to undergo the Edit Map menu to take action.
Map modifying is much more easy right here than I’ve discovered with different robovac apps, and it recognized carpets and laborious flooring within the take a look at area accurately, requiring minimal intervention on my half. You may add furnishings if you want. The standard options of including no-go zones and digital partitions can be accessible.
Diving into what the robotic can truly do is time consuming, significantly if you happen to plan to arrange customized Routines. The app offers you some default choices you can edit, but it surely’s not at all times as easy as its map modifying.
For instance, a few full-home routines I attempted to arrange refused to point out me a vacuum-only possibility, however solely gave me a vacuum-and-mop. I needed to then break up that possibility and have two Routines for a full-home clear.
You may at all times edit these Routines as you be taught extra concerning the app, but it surely actually shouldn’t be as tough as it’s at the moment arrange.
Maybe the perfect a part of the app is the SmartPlan possibility you’ll see as quickly as you choose the robotic vacuum. When you can run this from the get go, you gained’t get the perfect clear early on.
I discovered that it’s the best after you’ve run the robovac just a few occasions all through the house on particular Routines. It would use this data, leveraging some AI smarts, to customise the perfect cleansing path, suction and mop settings for subsequent runs.
There are another superior options within the app that you need to use, together with utilizing the onboard digital camera to do a fast safety verify round your property whilst you’re away. You may information it remotely utilizing the app navigation, however you can too preserve the digital camera on whereas it’s cleansing.
You may even {photograph} obstacles or conduct a video name along with your pet. The digital camera options are turned off by default, which is an effective factor, and all images and movies are saved domestically, in keeping with Roborock. Furthermore, you’ll even should be the first account holder to allow these digital camera options, including a layer of safety.
Roborock has its personal voice assistant known as Rocky, which is on the market to make use of on the Qrevo Edge, however the prompts it will possibly perceive are very restricted. There are extra Siri voice prompts, however even these I discovered to be somewhat unreliable. You may join the Qrevo Edge to Google Dwelling or Alexa, which provides higher management however, once more, fairly restricted prompts. Basically, I believe the app itself needs to be your go-to for full management of the robotic vacuum and its dock.

Roborock Qrevo Edge: options to think about
How I examined the Roborock Qrevo Edge
- Utilized in single-storey, one-bedroom residence with blended flooring
