Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro Delivers Strong Cleaning Value with Detachable Mop Plates, Review Finds

Roborock's newest combination vacuum and mop, the Qrevo 2 Pro, brings detachable mop plates intended to keep carpets dry while cleaning, and a review from TechRadar suggests those plates may be the least interesting thing about it. The more consequential finding may be that its cleaning performance approaches that of machines costing considerably more.

Price positioning

The Qrevo 2 Pro lists at $799.99 / £649.99 / AU$1,199, a figure that places it between Roborock's premium Curv line and its more affordable models. TechRadar reports that discounts appeared almost immediately after launch, with the unit dropping to $549 / £549.99, which pushes it firmly into budget-conscious territory. Even at full price, the review notes it sits below the Curv models while producing similar results, apart from the absence of the AdaptLift chassis that helps those models climb higher thresholds between rooms. For shoppers spending less, the review points to the Roborock Q7 as an alternative, though with substantially lower suction and no auto-empty dock.

Performance details

In testing across more than two weeks in a busy household, the reviewer describes mopping as some of the best seen from a robot, particularly at maximum water flow and cleaning intensity, where it removed even dried ketchup after a second pass. Regular settings left a small amount of soy sauce behind on the first attempt. Vacuuming performed well on carpet and acceptably on hard floors, though larger debris like rice could be spread around by the edge cleaning arm. Edge cleaning on carpet was weak, as is common for the category.

The detachable mop system changes the cleaning order: the robot first vacuums all carpeted areas, returns to the dock to attach the mop heads, then cleans hard floors. Carpet detection worked without manual input after the initial mapping run.

Obstacle avoidance identified a shoe and a sock, but a charging cable caused a stall that required intervention. Battery life covered roughly five regular rooms before a recharge, which took about four hours. Noise measured around 60dB while cleaning carpet and up to 69dB during brief dock emptying.

Setup and smart home

Setting up the dock requires attaching a ramp, filling a clean water tank, and plugging it in. The robot needs hard floor placement with roughly 1.5 inches on each side and 27.5 inches of clearance in front. Connectivity includes Matter, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Voice control via a smart home system started a whole-house clean successfully, but requesting a custom-named room such as Utility Room triggered a full clean instead. Default room names like Kitchen or Living Room worked as expected. The app offers Full, Room, Zone, and Routine modes, though scheduling lives in a separate settings menu.

Ongoing costs and limitations

Disposable dust bags are required, with a three-pack at $39.90 in the US and a six-pack at £31.99 in the UK. The reviewer notes that unbranded alternatives have worked in past Roborock machines but advises checking compatibility. A branded floor cleaner is sold separately but was not used in testing and is described as unnecessary.

The robot's lidar scanner sits in a raised cage on top, increasing its height and preventing it from cleaning under low furniture. The reviewer contrasts this with Roborock's Qrevo CurvX and its retractable scanner. The Qrevo 2 Pro is available in all white or black, though the UK and Australia currently receive only the white version.

Who it suits

TechRadar concludes the Qrevo 2 Pro is a strong match for homes with a lot of hard flooring that needs frequent mopping, and that the removable mop heads help in mixed-floor homes. The review warns that buyers who will not use the mop should look at vacuum-only options to avoid paying for a feature they will not use, and that those needing to cross higher dividers between rooms should consider pricier models with lifting chassis. At full price the reviewer calls it good value; at the discounted price, a fantastic deal.
