9 Best Roborock Vacuums of 2025

The Roborock Saros 10R isn’t just another robot vacuum—it’s a revolution in slim-profile cleaning, redefining what’s possible in tight spaces with its industry-leading 3.14-inch ultra-slim design. Thanks to the StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, it ditches the bulky rotating lidar on top, allowing it to glide effortlessly under beds, sofas, and cabinets where dust hides in plain sight. With 22,000Pa HyperForce suction—the highest in the lineup—and a Zero-Tangling DuoDivide brush, this machine tackles pet hair, embedded debris, and edge buildup with surgical precision, making it a powerhouse for homes that demand both elegance and deep clean performance.

In real-world testing, the Saros 10R shines in cluttered, pet-heavy environments. The FlexiArm Riser side brush extends into corners and under furniture legs, while the AdaptiLift Chassis intelligently lifts mops over carpets and climbs thresholds up to 4 cm. On hardwood and tile, the dual spinning mops with hot water washing deliver a near-hand-mopped finish, especially on dried spills. However, its 3D sensing struggles slightly in pitch-black rooms, where obstacle detection slows. While it navigates most furniture with confidence, very narrow gaps with dangling cords can still pose a minor entanglement risk, though far less than older models.

Compared to the Qrevo CurvX, the Saros 10R offers a more complete package with its 10-in-one Multifunctional Dock 4.0, including auto detergent dispensing and faster 2.5-hour charging—features the CurvX lacks. It’s also the only model with a built-in RGB camera and voice assistant (“Hello Rocky”), enabling two-way pet monitoring and voice commands offline. While pricier than most, it justifies its cost with best-in-class suction, unmatched slimness, and the most advanced dock in Roborock’s ecosystem, making it the undisputed choice for tech-forward homes that want the absolute best.

The Roborock Qrevo CurvX is a masterclass in intelligent navigation and sleek engineering, combining 22,000Pa suction with an ultra-slim 7.98 cm profile—the thinnest Roborock has ever built. Its Reactive AI Obstacle Recognition, powered by structured light and an RGB camera, detects and avoids 108 types of obstacles, from socks to chair legs, in both bright and dark conditions. The standout AdaptiLift Chassis doesn’t just lift mops—it raises individual wheels to conquer thresholds and uneven terrain, ensuring it never gets stuck. For users tired of pre-cleaning their floors, this robot delivers true hands-off autonomy in chaotic, lived-in homes.

During testing across multi-surface layouts, the CurvX excelled in edge and corner cleaning, thanks to its FlexiArm Riser side brush and mop that extend on approach. The 80°C hot water wash effectively dissolved kitchen grease and pet messes on mops, while RetractSense Navigation allowed seamless transitions under low-clearance furniture by lowering the LiDAR sensor. However, the warm air drying (113°F) is slightly slower than competitors, and the lack of auto-detergent in the dock means you’ll need to refill manually. Still, its SmartPlan 2.0 learns your habits and adjusts cleaning patterns over time, making each run smarter.

Against the Saros 10R, the CurvX trades a few premium dock features for a more refined AI navigation system and smoother aesthetic integration with its curved dock design. While both offer 22,000Pa suction and slim builds, the CurvX is better suited for users who prioritize AI obstacle avoidance and minimalist design over camera-based pet monitoring. It delivers cutting-edge performance in a sleeker, quieter package, making it ideal for modern homes that value stealthy, intelligent cleaning without sacrificing power.

The Roborock Qrevo S5V strikes a perfect balance between elite performance and practical value, packing 12,000Pa suction, auto mop washing, and 10-week self-emptying into a single, highly efficient package. Its SGS-certified Zero-Tangle System with a rubberized floating brush and arc-shaped side brush makes it a top contender for pet owners, eliminating the daily chore of hair removal. The FlexiArm dual spinning mops deliver 200 RPM hand-mimicking action, lifting dried-on grime while lifting 10mm over carpets to keep them dry—ideal for mixed-floor homes.

In real-world use, the S5V handles large, multi-room layouts up to 3,552 sq ft with ease, thanks to auto-refilling and hot air drying that ensure uninterrupted cleaning over weekends. The PreciSense LiDAR maps spaces quickly and supports 4-floor memory, a rare find at this tier. However, it occasionally misses narrow gaps under low furniture due to its standard height, and the structured light obstacle avoidance, while good, isn’t as advanced as the AI-driven systems in the Qrevo CurvX or Saros 10R. Still, it cleans thoroughly, especially on tile and hardwood, where its 30-level water flow control lets you fine-tune moisture with surgical precision.

Compared to the Qrevo Edge S5A, the S5V offers hot air drying and auto-refill, features the S5A lacks, making it far more hands-free.

It’s the sweet spot between capability, convenience, and cost in Roborock’s 2024 lineup.

The Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A is the king of hot water mopping, leveraging 167°F (75°C) hot water wash cycles to dissolve grease, footprints, and pet stains that cold-water systems simply push around. With 18,500Pa suction and the DuoDivide Zero-Tangling main brush, it handles deep carpet debris and long pet hair with ease, while the FlexiArm side brush and mop extend into corners for border-to-border cleanliness. For homes where mopping performance is non-negotiable, this model delivers a hygienic, streak-free finish that rivals manual cleaning.

In daily use, the Edge S5A excels on hard floors, especially in kitchens and entryways where spills accumulate. The 30-level water flow adjustment allows micro-control—perfect for delicate wood or high-traffic tile. However, its warm air drying is slower, and the lack of auto-refill means you’ll need to top off the water tank for multi-level or large-area cleans. While it avoids most obstacles with Reactive Tech, it occasionally nudges small toys, requiring minor pre-cleaning in cluttered homes. Still, its 60-day dust bag capacity minimizes maintenance, making it ideal for busy households.

Against the Qrevo Curv S5X, the Edge S5A offers hotter water washing and a more robust dock, but lacks AI-level obstacle recognition. It’s better suited for users who prioritize mopping power over navigation smarts. While not the most advanced in AI, it’s the best choice for spotless floors in homes where mopping is a pain point, offering near-flagship cleaning with a focus on hygiene and edge reach.

The Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X stands out with AI-powered Reactive Tech Obstacle Avoidance, using structured light and LiDAR to detect and navigate around 108 object types in real time—cables, shoes, pet bowls—with uncanny precision. Its 18,500Pa suction and DuoDivide brush system deliver deep carpet cleaning, while the FlexiArm side brush and mop reach into corners that most robots miss. For homes with cluttered floors and pets, this model offers near-set-it-and-forget-it reliability, drastically reducing manual interventions.

The Multifunctional Dock 3.0 auto-empties for up to 10 weeks, washes mops with 167°F hot water, and dries them with warm air—ensuring hygiene between cleans. However, it doesn’t auto-refill water, limiting continuous mopping on large homes. While the Carpet Boost+ System enhances hair pickup, it’s slightly louder on max suction than competitors. Still, its SmartPlan feature learns your routine, adjusting modes automatically for different rooms.

Compared to the Qrevo S5V, the S5X trades auto-refill and 4-floor mapping for superior AI obstacle avoidance and smarter cleaning logic. It’s the best pick for messy, dynamic homes where floors are rarely pre-cleared. While less automated than the S5V, its AI navigation is best-in-class, making it the top choice for users who want intelligent, adaptive cleaning without the flagship price.

The Roborock Q7 M5+ is a budget powerhouse, delivering 10,000Pa suction and 7-week self-emptying at a price that undercuts nearly every competitor. Its Dual Anti-Tangle System, featuring the JawScrapers main brush, is a game-changer for pet owners, drastically reducing hair wrap—even from long-haired dogs. With PreciSense LiDAR, it maps homes quickly and navigates with precision, while the sealed 2.7L dust bag keeps allergens contained, making it ideal for allergy-sensitive households.

In real-world use, the Q7 M5+ handles daily messes on both carpet and hard floors with ease. The three water flow settings allow customization for wood or tile, and simultaneous vacuum and mop saves time. However, it lacks auto mop lifting, so you must manually remove the mop for carpet-only zones. Also, while it avoids major obstacles, it doesn’t have smart obstacle recognition, so cords and small toys can still cause snags. Still, for its price, it offers exceptional automation and suction, especially for users upgrading from basic models.

Against the Q10 X5+, the Q7 M5+ offers longer self-emptying (7 vs. 7–10 weeks) and stronger anti-tangle tech, though both share 10,000Pa suction. It’s the best value for pet owners wanting high suction and hands-free emptying without breaking the bank, outperforming rivals in hair pickup and filtration. If you need max suction and low maintenance on a budget, this is the smartest entry into premium Roborock cleaning.

The Roborock Q10 X5+ is the most accessible self-emptying robot in Roborock’s lineup, offering 7–10 weeks of hands-free cleaning with a 2.7L dust bag—perfect for busy households that want to forget maintenance. Its 10,000Pa suction handles everyday debris with ease, while Reactive Tech obstacle avoidance helps it steer clear of furniture and stairs. The Dual Anti-Tangle System keeps pet hair from clogging brushes, reducing downtime and making it a solid pick for homes with kids and pets.

In testing, the Q10 X5+ delivered consistent performance across hardwood and low-pile carpet. The mop lifts automatically on carpet detection, preventing wet messes, and PreciSense LiDAR ensured fast, efficient mapping. However, it lacks hot water washing or self-cleaning mops, meaning you’ll need to clean the pads manually. Also, while it avoids large obstacles, it can still bump into small clutter, requiring some floor prep. Still, for its price, it offers impressive automation and reliability.

Compared to the Q7 M5+, the Q10 X5+ offers better obstacle avoidance and carpet adaptation, but slightly weaker anti-tangle performance. It’s the best budget option for users who prioritize self-emptying and basic smart features over elite mopping or suction. If you want a simple, reliable robot that handles weekly cleanings with minimal effort, this is the most cost-effective entry into hands-free Roborock cleaning.

The Roborock Q8 Max is a pet-focused performer, built around the DuoRoller brush system that increases hair pickup by 20% and virtually eliminates tangles on carpets. With 5,500Pa suction, it may not match the top models, but it’s more than enough for daily pet hair and dust removal. Its obstacle avoidance and 3D mapping help it navigate around toys and furniture, while multi-level mapping supports up to four floors—ideal for townhouses or multi-story homes.

In real use, the Q8 Max excels in pet-heavy environments, where hair buildup is constant. The 30-level water flow control allows fine-tuned mopping, and simultaneous vacuum and mop saves time. However, its lower suction struggles with deep carpet debris, and the lack of self-emptying means weekly bin cleaning. Also, while it avoids obstacles, it sometimes gets stuck under low furniture due to its height. Still, for pet owners who want smart navigation and low maintenance brushes, it’s a solid mid-tier choice.

Compared to the Q7 M5, the Q8 Max offers better obstacle avoidance and multi-floor support, but lacks self-emptying and higher suction.

If you’re willing to empty the bin weekly for superior hair pickup and smart navigation, this is a smart compromise between performance and price.

The Roborock Q7 M5 is the most affordable way to enter the Roborock ecosystem, offering 10,000Pa suction, LiDAR navigation, and app-controlled mopping for under $160. Its Dual Anti-Tangle Design with JawScrapers brush makes it surprisingly capable on pet hair, while the 400ml dustbin and 270ml tank support 150 minutes of runtime—enough for most apartments. For budget-conscious buyers, it delivers flagship-level suction in a no-frills package.

In testing, the Q7 M5 cleaned hard floors and low-pile carpets effectively, with three water flow settings preventing over-saturation. The app allows scheduling, no-go zones, and mode selection, but lacks self-emptying or mop lifting. You’ll need to manually remove the mop for carpets, and it has no obstacle avoidance, so floor prep is essential. Still, for its price, it offers excellent suction and mapping, making it ideal for renters or small homes.

Against the Q8 Max, the Q7 M5 offers stronger suction and longer runtime, but fewer smart features. It’s the best under $160, especially for users who want high power without advanced automation. If you’re after raw cleaning performance on a tight budget, this is the most value-packed Roborock you can buy.
