Roborock Q Revo

HyperForce Suction System and Fluid Dynamics

The 5,500 Pascal (Pa) power of the Roborock Q Revo comes from its HyperForce turbine. To put this figure into context, robot vacuums from five years ago operated in the 2,000 Pa range. This suction capacity allows it to vacuum all types of debris, such as sand or gravel, fine dust embedded in carpets, and pet hair.

It has very high suction efficiency thanks to its fully rubber main brush (All-Rubber Brush). Roborock has eliminated traditional bristles to achieve greater efficiency when cleaning hair.

• No-Tangle Mechanism: One advantage of this robot is its ability to vacuum hair, as its rubber brush allows for more effective cleaning while preventing tangling.
• Terrain Adaptability: The brush frame is floating and multidirectional, allowing the brush to stay in contact with the floor even on uneven surfaces.

Mopping

The most notable advantage of the Q Revo is its mopping system. While the S series features sonic technology, the Q Revo uses two circular mop pads that rotate at 200 revolutions per minute (RPM).

• Rotary cleaning: The mopping performance of this device is very good, as its mop pads are effective against dried or sticky liquid stains. In addition, the system applies continuous pressure to ensure the necessary friction.
• Moisture management: The robot features an internal water tank of approximately 80 ml that is automatically refilled at the base. The user can adjust the water flow across 30 different levels through the app.

Intelligent Lifting System (Auto Mop Lifting)

One of this device’s key features is its ability to lift the mop pads to increase autonomy. This occurs when the Q Revo detects a carpet. This functionality allows:

1. Mixed cleaning in a single cycle: The robot can vacuum carpets and mop hard floors in the same session, without user intervention.
2. Hygienic return to base: When returning to the charging station, the mop pads are lifted to prevent dragging already dirty pads over clean floors.

Battery

The robot is equipped with a 5,200 mAh lithium battery pack, an industry standard for high-performance robot vacuums. Its energy management is very good:

• Battery life: Provides up to 180 minutes of continuous operation in quiet mode, which translates into a theoretical coverage of up to 400 square meters.
• Fast and efficient charging: The Q Revo supports charging that is 30% faster than previous generations (such as the S7). In addition, it features off-peak charging technology, which allows the robot to remain plugged in while suspending charging until the electrical grid has lower demand.

PreciSense LiDAR Navigation

The primary navigation system is PreciSense LiDAR. This system uses a rotating turret (LDS) that emits an invisible laser thousands of times per second to build a detailed map of the environment.

• Mapping logic: The Q Revo can scan a new home and generate an editable map in under 10 minutes thanks to its “Quick Mapping” technology, without needing to clean the entire space first.
• Mapping capabilities:The generated map enables advanced app features: room-based cleaning, no-go zones, virtual walls, and customized cleaning sequences (e.g., cleaning the kitchen last and with more water).

Obstacle Avoidance

This is the main difference between the Q Revo and the S8 series. The Q Revo uses the Reactive Tech system, which relies on structured light projection to detect physical objects in its path.

• Limitations: Unlike the ReactiveAI 2.0/3.0 system used in the S MaxV series (which can recognize whether an object is a shoe, a cable, or pet waste), the Q Revo’s Reactive Tech simply knows that something is there. Additionally, the Q Revo performs poorly at avoiding small objects such as cables and may push or become tangled with lightweight items.

Self-Washing and Self-Drying

Mop maintenance is fully autonomous:

• Washing: The robot returns to the base as configured (e.g., every 15 minutes). At the base, the mop pads are thoroughly cleaned, loosening dirt that is then suctioned into the dirty water tank.
• Drying: Once cleaning is finished, the base initiates hot-air drying at 45°C. The drying process is quiet.

Noise

The Q Revo operates at very low noise levels. In standard vacuuming and mopping mode, noise ranges around 60–63 dB, allowing conversation in the same room. However, during the auto-emptying process, noise spikes above 80 dB. This is normal and common among all robots with self-emptying bases.

Verdict

The Roborock Q Revo is an excellent robot vacuum. Its engineering is solid, and its suction power is more than sufficient for homes with pets. In addition, its self-cleaning base is outstanding for users who want a higher level of automation. In conclusion, if you are considering buying the Roborock Q Revo, it is an excellent investment.

FAQ

How to charge Roborock Q Revo?

1. Plug the charging base into a power outlet and place it on a hard, flat surface.
2. Place the robot onto the base, aligning the metal contacts on the bottom with those on the base.
3. Gently push it until it is properly seated.
4. Once correctly docked, it will start charging automatically (you will see this on the robot’s lights or in the app).
5. A full charge usually takes 3–4 hours.

How many liters is the Roborock Q Revo?

• Water tank: 0.08 L (80 ml)
• Dustbin: 0.35 L
• Clean water tank in the base: 4 L
• Dirty water tank in the base: 3.5 L
