Roborock Qrevo S Pro Review: A Full-Service Dock Without the Flagship Price
Our verdict: 4.3 / 5
The Qrevo S Pro gives you the dock most people actually want: it empties the bin, washes the mop pads in 167°F water and dries them with warm air. Suction is rated at 18,500 Pa and the mops lift 10 mm on rugs. It skips the extending arm and the camera-based AI of Roborock’s pricier models, so corners and clutter are its weak spots.

A few years ago, a robot that emptied itself and washed its own mops cost well over a thousand dollars. The Qrevo S Pro brings that whole package down to the middle of Roborock’s range. You get a self-emptying bag, hot-water mop washing, warm-air drying and a robot that lifts its mops when it rolls onto carpet.
The question is what Roborock left out to hit that price, and whether it matters in your home. We went through Roborock’s published specs, the dock design and how the robot’s features line up with real floor plans. We haven’t run it in our own house, so where a number is Roborock’s claim, we say so.

What we like
The dock does the dirty work
The dock is the reason to buy this robot. After each run it pulls the dust into a sealed 2.7 L bag, which Roborock says lasts 7 to 9 weeks. Then it washes the two spinning mop pads with 167°F water and dries them with 113°F air. That last step matters more than it sounds. Damp mop pads left in a dock start to smell within a day or two, especially in a humid house. Warm-air drying is what stops the sour-mop smell that puts people off robot mopping.
Mops lift on rugs
When the robot detects carpet, it raises the mop pads by 10 mm and boosts suction. On a low-pile rug, 10 mm is enough to keep the pads off the fibers. On a thick shag rug, it isn’t, and you’ll want to set that rug as a no-mop zone in the app. Roborock’s carpet settings also let you choose to vacuum carpets first and mop later, which keeps wet pads off the rug entirely.
Built with pet hair in mind
The main brush is all rubber, and the side brush uses Roborock’s zero-tangle design. Bristle rollers trap long hair until you cut it out with scissors. Rubber rollers don’t hold on to it nearly as much. If you have a long-haired dog or long hair yourself, this is a real time saver. Our guide on how often to replace robot vacuum brushes explains what wears out first.
Low enough for most beds and sofas
At about 3.8 inches tall, it fits under a lot of sofas and bed frames. Measure the gap under your lowest piece of furniture before you buy. If it’s under 4 inches, this robot is likely to fit where a taller model won’t.
What could be better
- No extending arm. Round spinning mops leave a thin strip along baseboards. Roborock’s Qrevo 2 Pro has the FlexiArm edge mop to fix that; the S Pro doesn’t.
- Basic obstacle avoidance. Roborock calls it “smart obstacle detection” but doesn’t list a camera. Expect it to dodge shoes and furniture legs, not phone cables or pet accidents. Pick up cords before a run.
- Bag costs add up. The sealed bag is cleaner to empty than a bin, but it’s a running cost every couple of months.
- Only 1-year warranty. That’s normal for robots, but a dock with pumps and heaters has more parts to fail.
Who should buy it
- Homes with mostly hard floors and a few low-pile rugs
- Pet owners who want rubber brushes and a sealed bag
- People who tried robot mopping before and hated rinsing pads
- Anyone who wants a full-service dock without paying flagship prices
Who should skip it
- Homes with lots of floor clutter, cords or a puppy still house-training. Spend more on camera-based avoidance.
- Rooms with long baseboards where edge cleaning matters to you. Look at the Qrevo 2 Pro.
- Homes with mostly thick or shag carpet. A 10 mm lift won’t protect deep pile.
Qrevo S Pro vs Qrevo 2 Pro
| Qrevo S Pro | Qrevo 2 Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Suction | 18,500 Pa | 20,000 Pa |
| Edge mopping | Standard spinning pads | FlexiArm extends to the wall |
| Mop lift | 10 mm | Up to 15 mm, can detach mops |
| Mop wash water | 167°F | 149°F |
| Noise (maker) | 55 dB | 54 dB |
| Smart plan | SmartPlan 2.0 | SmartPlan 3.0 |
| Check price | Qrevo S Pro | Qrevo 2 Pro |
The Qrevo 2 Pro is the better robot for homes with carpets and long walls, because the higher mop lift and the extending arm solve the two weak spots above. If your floors are mostly open hard flooring, the S Pro covers the important stuff for less money.
Tips to get the most out of it
- Run the first cleaning with the house tidied up, so the map comes out clean. Split and name rooms in the app right after.
- Mark thick rugs as “vacuum only” in the app. Don’t rely on the 10 mm lift for deep pile.
- Use the hot-wash setting after kitchen mopping, and the regular wash for light dust runs. It saves power and water.
- Empty the dirty-water tank and wipe the wash tray every week or two. Most dock odors start there, not in the robot.
- Clean the cliff and wall sensors with a dry cloth monthly. Dirty sensors cause missed spots. Our guide on dirty robot vacuum sensors shows where they are.
FAQ
Does the Roborock Qrevo S Pro empty itself?
Yes. The dock empties the robot’s bin into a sealed 2.7 L bag after each run. Roborock says one bag lasts about 7 to 9 weeks, depending on how dirty your floors are.
Can the Qrevo S Pro mop carpets?
No, and it’s designed not to. It lifts the mop pads by 10 mm when it detects carpet. For thick rugs, set a no-mop zone in the app, because 10 mm isn’t enough to clear deep pile.
Is the Qrevo S Pro good for pet hair?
It’s a good fit. The rubber main brush and zero-tangle side brush resist hair wrap, and the sealed bag keeps dander contained when you empty it. Owners of pets with accidents should still pick up messes before a run.
What is the difference between the Qrevo S Pro and Qrevo 2 Pro?
The Qrevo 2 Pro adds the FlexiArm edge mop, a higher 15 mm mop lift, slightly more suction and SmartPlan 3.0. The S Pro washes mops with hotter water and usually costs less.
Final word
The Roborock Qrevo S Pro makes sense if you want a robot that takes care of itself and your floors are mostly hard surfaces. The hot-wash dock and warm-air drying are the features you’ll appreciate after a month, and the rubber brushes make it pet-friendly. If you need clean edges or better clutter dodging, spend more on the Qrevo 2 Pro or a camera-based model. You can compare more options in our robot vacuum guides as we add them.
