roborock Qrevo S5V Robot Vacuum and Mop, FlexiArm Edge Mopping

Very. The first mapping run is fast and accurate, and after that the Qrevo S5V cleans in methodical back-and-forth rows instead of wandering. It saves up to four floor plans, so a home with a few storeys only needs one mapping run per floor.

Not quite. Mopping works well for daily upkeep, and the FlexiArm pad swings out to reach edges, but it isn't as thorough as mopping by hand. The S5V lifts its mops 10 mm on carpet, so low pile stays dry. Set thicker rugs as no-mop zones in the app.

Quiet, for a robot. Vacuuming and self-emptying are noticeably quiet, and the Qrevo S5V mainly gets louder when it boosts suction on rugs. Roborock doesn't publish a decibel figure, but running it while you're home, even during a call in the next room, is realistic.

Rarely. In homes with long hair and heavy-shedding dogs, the split rubber brushes on the Qrevo S5V stay almost free of wrapped hair, even after months of use. That means very little cutting or untangling when you do brush maintenance.

For most, no. Scheduling runs and editing maps on the Qrevo S5V is simple, but in a few cases the app takes longer to learn than it should. It also only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, so a router set to 5 GHz only won't connect.

Not completely. The Qrevo S5V can't clean stairs or furniture, and tight corners are out of reach, so a regular vacuum is still needed for those spots. On the open floor, the dock empties it, washes and dries the mops and refills the water tank, so day to day it mostly runs itself.
