Roborock Qrevo Master: two turbobrushes, retractable side brush and mop,10 000 Pa, scrapers

Hey guys, welcome to RobotObzor! Today we’ll review an interesting robot vacuum cleaner called Roborock Qrevo Master. It has leveled up with fresh design updates and new features, making it a top competitor to the popular Qrevo MaxV. It boasts upgraded cleaning tech like a wipe tray, dual turbo brushes, and an edge-to-edge hair cutting system, plus a retractable side brush, object detection, remote home tracking, and an All-in-One station. And you can get all this for a price between $900, making it a great deal for what it offers. Now, I’ll test this model, share the pros and cons, and let you know what I think at the end. Let’s get rolling!

Kit

Roborock Qrevo Master came in this branded box:

The kit includes:

1. The robot itself with the base
2. Power adapter.
3. Two wipe holders.
4. An extra bag for the station.
5. And documentation.

Appearance

Let’s see how this vacuum is set up! First off, it’s round and comes in white or black, standing at  103 mm (4 In.)  tall.

On the right, there’s a wall sensor, and in the center, sensors for smoothly going around objects on the floor. This tech, called ReactiveAI Obstacle detection, is the same as in other top models like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Qrevo MaxV.

Next to the cameras, there’s an LED light that works in the dark, making it easier for the robot to spot and avoid obstacles.

You can even keep an eye on your home remotely through the camera using your smartphone. Here’s how it works:

The navigation relies on the lidar, with a spring-loaded cover that stops it from getting stuck under furniture. Next to it there is a control panel with two buttons.

The dirt container is right under the top cover, which is held on magnets. The volume of the container is even smaller – only 220 ml (7.43 Oz.). The filtration system consists only of a HEPA-filter.

There is a 80 ml (2.7 oz.) water tank hidden inside the robot. Water is automatically pumped into the tank at the station.

There are 5 anti-fall sensors and a carpet detection sensor on the bottom. There’s one side brush: three-beamed, secured with a screw. This side brush automatically moves out in corners to thoroughly sweep out dirt.

The center brush unit is fluid, which helps a lot with picking up dirt. It’s got two silicone turbo brushes that spin toward each other, similar to the S8 line – this tech is called DuoRollerRiser.

The brushes even lift up automatically when the robot docks or switches to mopping mode. They’re designed with small blades to cut off any hair that gets tangled on the edges. We’ll see how well that works in the tests! Both brushes are easy to open on both sides, so you can remove hair and fur.

The mopping pads are round, just like the other Qrevo models. There’s also a cool mechanism behind the right pad that pushes it out to reach the very edge of the baseboards. This means it cleans right up against walls and furniture for a more thorough cycle.

I should add that the wipes automatically lift when the robot drives onto carpets, when the robot returns to the station, and also when Roborock Qrevo Master goes to a given room or cleaning area. The lift height of the wipes has been increased to 10 mm (.39 In.).

As for the station, they added improvements there too. The ramp for the robot to enter and the tray where the wipes are washed are removable. This is VERY convenient for maintenance. The tray has been upgraded. It now has two parts: the relief module itself, on which the wipes are washed, and a tub with scrapers and a coarse filter. Thus the station tray automatically self-cleans itself when the wipes are washed. Again, in tests we will check the efficiency of the new solution.

The 2.7 liter (.73 Gal.) garbage bag is placed at the front behind the lid. There’s no detergent reservoir. Nothing new here.

They kept the water tanks the same too. The clean water tank holds 4 liters (1 gal.), while the dirty tank holds 3.5 liters (.92 Gal.).

Ill add that the robot can not only self-clean and wash the wipes, but also dry them with warm air. The water used to wash is heated to 60 degrees C/ 140 F. This is a plus! The temperature of the air drying the napkins – 45 degrees C/ 104 F.

Well, and the last important point – connection to the sewer and water supply. Specifically, this station can’t be hooked up to the utilities. The official Roborock site shows a separate station for utility connection.

We can see that there are a few updates, comparing it to the previously released Qrevo MaxV. Ill outline the pros and cons of the design at the end.

The only thing that has changed here is the suction power, which I’ll test later. Everything is exactly the same.

Functions

As for the functions, the robot vacuum is controlled via the Roborock app.

Roborock Qrevo Master’s main functions, as stated by the manufacturer:

• Self-cleaning at the station.
• Wipe washing with hot water (60 °С/140 F).
• Wipe drying with hot air (45 °С/ 104 F).
• The holder extends to the baseboards.
• Refilling the robot’s water tank through the station.
• Recognizing objects on the floor.
• Remote tracking of the house through the camera.
• Saves multiple maps in memory.
• Automatic zoning of the area into rooms.
• Choose areas and rooms for cleaning.
• Virtual walls and no-go zones (separately for mopping).
• Suction power adjustment.
• Adjustment of the cloth wetness.
• User mode.

The robot can be controlled via the Hello Rocky voice assistant. You simply give the robot a command with your voice, and it does it. No third-party devices are needed, very cool! But the phrases are taken only in English, which isn’t always convenient. Here’s how it works:

Overall, the company implemented a large number of opportunities for flexibly adjusting the robot to your needs.

Testing

Video review:

Navigation

And finally, let’s get to testing! First, we tried out the vacuum’s navigation in a room with obstacles. It started by mapping out the room’s perimeter, then cleaned the open area in a zig-zag pattern. It handled obstacles like the dryer’s legs, circled neatly around them, and even recognized the box and chair legs, maneuvering around them effortlessly. It finished up by heading back to its station, passing the test smoothly!

As for the rest of the house, the robot tackled each room by outlining the perimeter first, then working in a zig-zag pattern. Every 15 minutes, it even returned to the station to rinse its wipes and picked up exactly where it left off! No spots left behind—navigation on this model is definitely impressive!

Going under low furniture

The minimum height under which the Roborock Qrevo Master can pass was checked separately. Since its height is 103 mm (4 In.), there was no point in testing it at the standard 10 cm (3.9 In.) clearance. But under 105 mm (4.1 In.) clearance it was able to pass, which is good.

Obstacle detection

Speaking of the object detection system, in good lighting it does its job well. The vacuum cleaner neatly passed 6 out of 6 objects, displaying 5 out of 6 with corresponding icons on the map, the toy is not in the database, which isn’t critical. It bumped the scales, a sneaker and a toy, a bit, but it left the most dangerous items untouched. Excellent results!

With the object detection system in total darkness, the robot performs worse. A sneaker, a wire and a sock were left untouched. Scales and a toy were touched, a pet dropping imitation was run over. It correctly recognized 3 out of 6 objects, which weren’t touched.

We cranked up the difficulty on the object detection test—it’s basically a minefield now! No need to get into all the details, but here’s how it went: in good lighting, the robot dodged 3 out of 6 obstacles, ran over one, and didn’t even bother with two others (even though it could have).

In total darkness however, it just plowed through all 6 traps! Later, it did recognize one of them and marked another as just “something in the way.”

Next up, we tested it on wires of different colors and sizes. In good lighting, the robot avoided all four wires and marked them correctly on the map. But in complete darkness, it chewed on two wires, pushed one, and left one untouched—so only half were successfully recognized.

Then we did the classic challenge: socks! I used different colors again. In good light, it went over the black sock, pushed the red and white ones, but still detected all three correctly as objects. In the dark, it only recognized the black sock as fabric; the others were just marked as obstacles. All three socks got nudged, but none got tangled up.

Overall, it’s clear the robot struggles in total darkness and could use an update there. But in good lighting, the object detection was pretty impressive!

Suction power

Now let’s do the one i’m most curious about, the power test. So in the Silent mode Roborock cleaned the dirt only from the 2 mm (.07 In.) crack, and only partially. In Equilibrium mode, the robot vacuum cleaned 2 mm (.07 In.) deeper, and in both Turbo and Maximum modes, it kept that same 2 mm (.07 in.) depth. But when cranked up to Max, it partially cleaned up to 4 (.14 In.) and even 6 mm (.21 In.)! For comparison, the pricier Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra with double brushes and 10,000 Pascals also hit 4 mm (.14 in.), while the Roborock Qrevo MaxV with a single turbo brush managed to clear an 8 mm (.28 In.) gap at 7,000 Pascals.

So, Roborock’s still working on tackling aerodynamic losses, but there’s a bit of improvement here, likely thanks to tweaks in the dust collector and filter design.

Vacuuming

The robot does a solid job picking up different types of dirt on laminate flooring, but there’s one hiccup: a bit of dirt is left in the corners, even after two passes. The side brush could use work – right now, it extends at the wrong moment. Instead of reaching into the corner when the robot pauses, it sweeps at the entrance, leaves a little mess, and moves on too quickly. It’s a smart concept, just not quite perfected yet. This same corner issue popped up in tests for the S8 MaxV Ultra and Qrevo MaxV, so it’s likely Roborock will fix it eventually.

On the maintenance side, the side brush gets tangled with hair and fur, while the center brushes stay mostly clear. I’m guessing the next improvement might be automatic untangling for the side brush. As for the turbo brushes, they don’t pick up much hair in the center, but I noticed that hair tends to gather at the edges. You might have to run it a few times to see the full effect, but the blade’s hair-cutting feature doesn’t seem very noticeable yet.

Carpet cleaning

Roborock Qrevo Master cleans short carpets well. In theory, it can even clean medium carpets in a couple of takes. The silicone turbo brushes are less effective on carpets, but with everyday house conditions, the cleaning quality will be enough.

Self-cleaning

Immediately after the “dirty tests” I want to check how well the self-cleaning station works. We see that the dirt bag is tightly packed. We return the robot to the station and start self-cleaning. The result is good. The dust collector is completely cleaned. But we see the condition of HEPA-filter after cleaning. Its pockets are densely clogged with trash. This is not good. HEPA-filter quickly clogs without installation of a grid in front of it.

Mopping with carpets

As for mopping with carpets, there are several modes for you to choose. It can drive around them gently in mopping mode, it can drive in and make contact with the carpet with a cloth if you want to clean the carpet with the robot in some way. Or it can mop the carpets, automatically picking up the wipes when you drive in on the carpets. The latter option is the most rational.

Mopping

The scrubbing quality is amazing. The wipes press well against the floor and absorb the dirt, and doesn’t leave a narrow area along the baseboard, thanks to wipes extending to the baseboard. That’s a plus!4

Scrubbing hard stains

As for scrubbing hard stains, the robot was able to scrub even dried coffee and sauce stains. Yes, not the first time. To be precise, it did it on the tenth time, just like the Roborock QrevoMaxV. But nevertheless, it was able to get the job done. Many of its counterparts and predecessors in the range were not even able to achieve this result.

Cloth cleaning quality

Let’s talk about how well the station itself works, starting with how it handles cleaning the wipes. Even after some rough tests, the wipes look much cleaner after being cleaned at the station. The heated water really makes a difference in getting them rinsed thoroughly. In everyday use, after cleaning the floor, the station does a solid job rinsing out the wipes. The warm water helps get rid of a lot of the dirt, which is a big plus!

Station maintenance

Even with the new scrubbers in the station, you’ll still need to give it a quick hand wash every now and then—but it’s easy to do. First, run the “auto-clean, rinse tray” mode with the robot docked, so it can clean itself with the scrapers. Then, pop the robot out, and you’ll see some hair and dirt left on the comb and scrapers in the tray, plus a bit on the coarse filter. Just rinse everything off in the sink, put the clean parts back, and you’re good to go. It’s convenient, but again, the scrapers don’t completely take away the need to be cleaned manually.

Obstacles

The robot is really good off-road, going over 2 cm (.78 In.) thresholds.

Dark spaces

The robot goes over dark areas like nothing even happened.

Volume

As for the volume, it is between 62-69 dB depending on the mode. The volume is slightly higher than Qrevo MaxV, as two turbo brushes rustle more strongly than one. But comparing it to others, the volume is at their level, if not lower. The volume of the station when self-cleaning is about 73 dB. And this is also pretty average.

Opinion

The Roborock Qrevo Master robot vacuum cleaner was throughly reviewed and tested. Our evaluation system scored it 209 points to enter the top five best robot vacuums of all that were tested, and there were already more than 180 of them. If it wasn’t for a number of comments, it would have surely been able to compete for the title of the best, but alas.

First I will highlight the pros and cons of the Roborock Qrevo Master, after which I will share my opinion about it.

I liked the following:

1. A combined station for self-cleaning the trash, washing and drying the wipes.
2. Highly efficient! It’s got self-cleaning, hot water washing, hot air drying for the wipes, scrapers in the tray for easier maintenance, and big tanks in the station. Everything works together to get the job done well.
3. Backlit object detection system that works great in good lighting and actually helps it avoid objects in the dark, unlike other robots without lights.
4. Good navigation.
5. Retractable side brush that with algorithm adjustments tackles the corner dirt problem.
6. Silicone turbo brushes make it easy to clear hair and pet fur since they don’t get tangled up. Plus, there are built-in blades to cut off hair from the edges.
7. Wipes that clean right up to the baseboard.
8. Auto-lifts the wipes when going onto carpets.
9. Lifting the turbo brushes when mopping.
10. Increased suction power.
11. Quality vacuuming and mopping on different surfaces.
12. Capable of scrubbing even difficult dirt.
13. lots of functions in the app.
14. Remote home tracking when connected to the robot’s camera via smartphone.
15. Control via Hello Rocky voice assistant. Though in English, there is an option to control the robot without a smartphone.
16. The robot isn’t afraid of black areas or surfaces.
17. Good off-road.
18. Quality assembly and high brand credibility.

Lots of pluses, now what about the minuses? Well, it’s not a few. I’ll start from the most important, to less significant, but still worth fixing.

1. The station in the version that came to the review is impossible to connect to the utilities.
2. There is no automatic addition of detergent from a separate reservoir.
3. There is still suction power loss, but less.
4. The algorithm for sweeping out dirt in corners needs serious work.
5. The object detection system is partially blind in the dark, and needs improvement.
6. Small dirt container.
7. HEPA-filter quickly clogs with dirt.

So, it’s clear this robot is pretty impressive overall, but it’s not quite perfect. If it had a warranty and Russian language support, it could easily earn an extra 7 points, putting it above the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and into 4th place. Throw in a detergent tank and a utility-compatible station, and it’d gain another 6 points, securing the silver medal in the rankings. And with a boost in power, better object detection, and a few unique features, this could even be the new No. 1 on the Robotobzor channel. But it is what it is for now.

In short, this robot vacuum is seriously good—it handles different surfaces well, has solid floor-cleaning power, is stylish, and runs smoothly on its own. It checks a lot of boxes, even though it’s not the best of the best. For around $900, it’s a fantastic balance of features and cleaning quality, and honestly, outshines the Dreame Bot L10s ProUltra Heat. I’d say it’s the top pick in the Roborock line, at least until the new Curv and Slim models come out. Definitely worth a look and easy for me to recommend!
