Roborock Qrevo 2 Review (2026): A New Budget Vacuum King? Leave a comment

Roborock’s been a favourite of the robotic vacuum recreation for some time. Right here at WIRED, our reviewers are longtime followers of the reasonably priced Qrevo line, however it was left with out updates for for years. The corporate has been extra targeted on extra distinctive designs, such because the Saros Z70, which has a complete arm hooked up to it to seize your socks. These have a solution to go earlier than they’re really helpful.

However this yr, the Qrevo line is lastly getting some love once more. The Qrevo Curv line obtained a brand new mannequin that we reviewed again in January, and there is now the Qrevo 2 Professional that simply launched on the finish of August. After a residing with it for the higher a part of two weeks, it is simply one among my favourite sub-$1,000 robotic vacuums, particularly for its nook cleansing, and has the ability to rival my present funds decide, the Eufy Omni C28. My solely criticism is little issues. I imply that actually: this robotic is nice at recognizing furnishings and navigating massive obstacles, however it will not spot your cords or cat toys laying on the ground.

Energy Vary

The Roborock Qrevo 2 Professional has a pleasant vary of specs. It comes with a 20,000 Pa digital motor, 200 RPM rotation velocity for the mop pads, LiDar navigation to map your house, a FlexiArm mop that guarantees to get in hard-to-reach spots (and it delivered in my checks!), and an easy-to-use app. It additionally has Matter assist if you happen to needed to voice command it together with your good house speaker and an AI-powered “SmartPlan” to higher clear your house. I have never seen a distinction in utilizing SmartPlan in comparison with simply working an everyday cycle, however I’ve solely been utilizing this robotic for about two weeks. Hopefully, the robotic will study extra over time and enhance—a minimum of, in principle. It is not the type of AI that is going to identify spills and stains, although, so preserve that in thoughts whenever you run this robotic vacuum.

Most of all, I used to be impressed by the sting cleansing with the FlexiArm mop, and the reversible aspect brush. Each work collectively to dislodge particles and ensure furnishings and wall edges are clear. The vacuum was capable of knock out one among my trickier Cheerio checks—particularly a Cheerio I stash in a nook subsequent to my fridge—with the assistance of the aspect brush and mop. It did not obtain an ideal nook rating, lacking one of many three Cheerios, however I’ve but to satisfy a robotic vacuum that may obtain all three. The slim 3.8-inch excessive design lets this vacuum squeeze beneath many kitchen counter toe kicks to suck up all of the particles hiding underneath your counter, and clear proper up into the sting.

The suction degree additionally labored nicely on carpets and rugs alike, although it labored higher on pet hair than my lengthy hair. My low-pile rug downstairs had a pleasant fluff to it after a run of this robotic vacuum, however extra importantly the tufts of cat hair had been nowhere to be seen in my carpeted bedrooms after this vacuum ran via the highest flooring of my house. My hair was vacuumed up, however I discovered it rolled into a large ball close to a nook of the mattress. I am going to caveat that it had been a handful of weeks since my final good vacuuming upstairs, and I doubt you’d see this with common cleanings. My husband did not discover the hairball in any respect, and instantly complimented how good the upstairs seemed.
