Roborock Q Revo Maintenance for Performance and Odor Control

[@Leonard_Davinci]

OUTSTANDING video and advice! THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to film this great video. We are very pleased w/our QREVO, and highly recommend this model for both carpet and tile and linoleum. We have a large malamute (super-shedder), and Mr. Q is a great time-saver for both vacuuming and mopping. To keep him that way, we know from past experience w/our 5 yo iRobot (Nigel) how vital regular maintenance is. Nigel now lives and works flawlessly in the carpeted basement. Since Mr. Q also mops, he lives on the 1st floor. THANK YOU again for this great video!! It’s time to clean Mr. Q’s sensors (recommended weekly), and your vid shows exactly where to find all of them!

Wow!!! Forget user manuals: this is the BEST instructions ever - this video helped me so much - Thank you so much!!! So structured and with detailed instructions (without redundant bulls--t) and video footage is excellent !!!!

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Great to hear!

[@cpg8000]

Just got my Q Revo. This is such a phenomenal video in every respect. Getting to know how to use this vac is a bit overwhelming, and then there is maintenance as well. This video really helped with the latter. Thank you so much for putting this up. Best regards

[@StarwoodTech]

Amazing video. More thorough than the manufacturer. They owe you a great deal for making this for us owners! Great job.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Thanks 👍

[@maxhoff6866]

randomly stumbled upon your video, you have a really soothing and polite tutorial voice! Keep it up, thanks for the video

[@kathysheehan6439]

Best video ever. Very easy to understand and great photos. Thanks

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Really great video with lots of good advice! Just bought this product and will keep everything you said here in mind. I love to see how some of us actually enjoy taking good care of our stuff 👍

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Take care of stuff and it will last.

[@LogologicsNl]

What an awesome, great and detailed video, thank you! We were still unsure about some things about maintenance of the Roborock Q Revo and your video helped a lot.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jackspence625]

Thanks for making the video. It's probably best to use a soft cloth on the plastic sensor covers. Paper towels will eventually dull the plastic and affect the readings.

[@beatdarude1]

you saved me a ton of money with the 3rd party replacements, really appreciate how to the point you were, great vid.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad it helped.

[@shadowhawk]

Thank you for the video. Just got my Q Revo yesterday. Wasn't aware of the silver ion module until I saw your video. Ordered one right away.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad I could help

[@elizabethdangelo1354]

Excellent video! Very detailed and informative. I got my Revo a week ago and I’m very impressed in how good it cleans the floors. I want to make sure I give it properly maintenance.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chalbrook1]

Thank you!! We just received our first ever Roborock yesterday. The Q Revo. Was looking for maintenance videos. Perfect!

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad I could help!

[@chalbrook1]

@@retrotechandelectronics Could you do more videos on the Q Revo? You mentioned some options that deserved their own video. Again thank you!!

[@retrotechandelectronics]

@@chalbrook1 true. Many options are related to the software, I’m looking into a deeper dive. It’s difficult as software is forever changing

Excelente entrevista, con mancha ancha para despacharse Aznar, que siempre es necesario escuchar.

[@caljosep]

Thanks for this great video. Does anyone know what to do with the bad odor when Mr. Q empty the dust? The bag is not full and the filter is clean

[@justincredible.]

Thanks, great video. This Q revo is a Super machine, we only had it for three weeks now, but were very impressed with it, and with the app too

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad you liked it!

[@rosalyntoop665]

Excellent video, thank you. If you ever re-publish this video you may wish to show how to unblock the part that feeds into the dust bag. Today was my first day using the Q Revo, which is my first robotic cleaner, and an error message displayed that the bag needed to be unblocked. Tells you a lot about my cleaning regime! Also do you have a video on how to spot clean please? I want to learn how to use the remote joystick and how to spot clean with the vacuum only. The spot clean function seems to be both mop and vacuum together. Thank you .

[@retrotechandelectronics]

There is a deeper issue having to do with how often it wmpties while cleaning the house for which a second video will be made.

[@jasoncaddell2479]

Excellent video, mate. I'll be saving this and using it for reference when mine is ready for maintenance.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad it was helpful.

[@GiorgioVVVV]

Thank you for the video! Is it safe to use 70% isopropyl alcohol (put on a cloth) for better cleaning or can it damage the robot surface (I'm talking about those parts that actually have to deal with collecting dirt and the sensors)?

[@billj10001]

Great video. Just purchased this vac yesterday and your video is a keeper for future maintenance 😊

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad it was helpful!

[@heidibowers9483]

Thanks for the video. Great job! I was wondering - the robot itself has a place where water is stored. That area probably gets moldy or stinky from time to time. Can you make a video showing where that is on the robot and show us how to clean that? If not, I understand. If so, GREAT!!!!!!! Thanks again for this video. It was helpful.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

The water is internal to the robot and not consumer accessible. Im sure ill be making a video on this but it wont be for the average user.

[@glitchyatheist]

Your voice is so relaxing. Thanks for the video

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@ashleyparker4604]

Would you have any idea how to remove buildup from the tube that empties the dirty water from the vacuum to the tank? Ours is so nasty. I could only clean what the straw brush could reach. Even then I know it didn’t clean it that good.

[@88Zurc]

Thank you for the video very understanding I do have one huge question. Maybe you can have the answer to this in the app there is a setting under the vacuum only it’s called max+ for deep cleaning only what does that setting do I have tried to search over the Internet and I can’t find anything. What’s the difference between max and max+

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

2:13 I just finished watching another video where a woman purchased this same package from Amazon and said that the mop heads almost wrecked her Roborock as they shed way more lint and have the potential to clog up the water tanks. (She said that all the other gadgets in the pack were fine)

[@MohdRadhwan]

Yeah I watch her video too. Saw the loose lint clogged

[@stanny1794]

Great Video. Thank you very much for your effort. Do you know how to add map of the second floor to device by any chance? Thanks

[@Sun.n.Flowers]

Q Revo vs the S7 Ultra vs S8 Pro Ultra, which do you recommend for best cleaning and maintenance? In terms of cleaning performance, some recommend the S7 Ultra above the S8 Pro Ultra.. However, lately I've heard good things about the Q Revo.. I wonder if its due to the spinning pads..

[@sissisammakko]

needed this video. Very well put together video.

[@janM9881BA]

Great video. Quick question: is there a way to get the residue water out of the robot? How do do you prevent forming of limescale and breeding of bacteria?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I use zero water as mentioned that has no mineral content.

[@alancoronadoofficial128]

All Qrevo pro and Qrevo S share the same components? Mop, roller, brushes, etc?

[@gregordvs]

Great video, very informative and gives me a good cleaning plan.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Glad it helped.

[@chalbrook1]

Have you ever had an issue with your Q Revo leaking drops of water? I’ve only had mine for 2 weeks and even when I do a vacuum only run I notice big drops of water on the floor especially where she transitions from carpet to hardwood. Any advice? Do I have a faulty unit?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I've not encountered this

[@tammyadams7933]

Just purchased the Q Revo. I can’t find any indicators on the tank itself or anything in instructions about how much water to put in the tank. Do you fill it halfway up or to the top?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Half inch before the top

[@ruocaled]

Amazing video! Do you happen to know what is the rectangle shaped rubber thing on the right side of charging contact? It feels like could be falling apart anytime.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

The flap? its for the dust removal operation.

[@brianagee2790]

Awesome Video! Thank you. How close to the wall does the mop clean? Is there less than an inch? Almost thinking to get a Tineco s5 to ensure the edges of the kitchen get clean but if the revo is very close, then I'd be fine with it. Thank you again.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I have close up shots in the review video of moping against the wall.

[@mosahal521]

Do you maintain weekly or monthly?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Weekly for hair removal. Monthly for what’s covered in the video.

[@moonatic3123]

Hi! I've realy appreciate the video. A little tip from my experience, i pour a little of bleach in the dirty water conteiner when it's empty, this removes the smell almost entirely. Also, i have an issue: I've changed the mops with an online equivalent, but they detach from the stripes almost every day. Is there something i can do for that? I still have the original ones, but i was asking.

[@MrsTessWren]

I think you answered your own question. I was curious if I could use product equivalents, but have been too nervous that doing so will mess up the machine so I’ve only ordered from the manufacturer, something I generally resent doing because I want to find the best deals and use my Prime shipping for everything.

How do you clean the water tank in the revo? I am looking to buy one, the only thing that holds me back is the cleaning of the water tank. it can over time get quite dirty and mouldy.

There is no consumer method to do this

[@muresansergiubohdan]

What surface can each of them mop before returning to base to empty? Thank you.

[@retrotechandelectronics]

I’m not sure I understand your question

[@znvTramp]

Great video, thanks! Do you know if it's safe to use that silver ion module for mopping an apartment with kids? (I assume it should be if there is just a silver in it, but wanted to double-check). Also, the same question for their official Omo cleaning solution ("Roborock Floor Cleaning Solution for Vacuum Mops").

[@retrotechandelectronics]

Im testing it right now and notice no difference.

[@rompedientes123123]

I think you can empty the dust bin in the trash can and give it at least a second use. Like 1 bag every 2-3 months. Is a small saving but I think it worths it. And maybe you can clean the bag with water or some sort of procedure, same as the dust bin in the robot right?

[@retrotechandelectronics]

It’s possible, bulk bags are cheap. eBay also sells some with zippers

[@rompedientes123123]

@@retrotechandelectronics I tell you more: 1st empty the big waste in the trash can and for thr small dust inside vacum the dist bag with another vacuum regular machine!! hahha what a hack!!

[@HeatherRiley-c5v]

I purchased this device from Amazon a month ago and I could not get the water to fill into the vacuum so it did not mop. None of the suggestions by the manufacturer helped. I returned it and just received a second one and it is doing the same thing. I am wondering if there is some step I am missing such as removing a piece of protective tape somewhere. I have looked everywhere and cannot find anything.
