Roborock Qrevo Master: Maximum Clean, Minimum Effort

[@MrBlueCreeper]

I would love to see how the Q Revo Curv does!!!

[@captshadab]

Eagerly waiting

[@---GOD---]

Roborock has too many models, lol. There are 9 Q Revo models now. NINE!!! Love my Q Revo original, but my two issues are the lack of hot water, lack of corner vacuuming, and lack of edge mopping. These newer models seem to address all of this, but I'm not sure which of their NINE(!!!) models to go for 😂 My "dream robovac" is still an upgraded version of the Eufy S1 Pro with better edge and corner cleaning.

[@jamie.andrews]

Yea I have been talking with Eufy about that. The Curv may be the right one for your needs.

[@PeterKnagge]

Great video. I still think I prefer the Curv. Robo vacs today almost have enough features to satisfy my fussy requirements to buy a new replacement vac, however I still have no money to buy one. 😂 Other features I'd like to see is better navigation, an air purifier/humidifier/dehumidifier inbuilt to the dock, & something to clean baseboards like the duster on the Narwal Freo Z ultra.

[@mrnick10]

Thank you. Your real world tests (vs lab tests of other reviewers) shine a much brighter light on expected performance for these machines. Human hair build up is the #1 issue I have with my "old" S6 MaxV, and no Roborock model seems to have effectively solved the issue yet...though I am quite curious if the Curve can finally address this maintenance headache. Excited for your review!

[@jamie.andrews]

Yea and throwing clumps of hair on the floor is just no where near the same. Thankfully I have 2 long hair girls and 3 cats so I have plenty of real world testing! So far the Dreame Tricut brush works wonders and so does the one in the Narwal Freo models. I'll have my review of the Curv out soon.

[@kmain0]

I ordered a S8 maxv ultra with anniversary sale and military discount. Suffice to say the amount of competition out there is fierce and I only went s8 since it was heavily discounted against eufy s1 pro and dreame x40….

[@Completominombre]

Thanks for this review! Great as always

[@jamie.andrews]

Thanks again!

[@arevee9429]

Roborock has great navigation, but yes, cord avoidance isn't great. And none of the other reviewers call it on this. On the whole, though, Roborock makes a great robot.

[@jamie.andrews]

Totally agree. Most other reviewers use a cord that is bundled up or a power strip. Both things are not proper to test with.

[@reslear]

base q revo, will probably stay the best for now for a long time :)

[@jamie.andrews]

Yea that will do for most people.

[@bodosko]

Your reviews are always the best. ❤

[@jamie.andrews]

Thank you so much!

[@MrPeterBL]

Where is the "Clean under furniture" option in the app? Which Roborocks have it?

[@jamie.andrews]

The Master and S8 MaxV Ultra both have it. The setting is under AI laboratory in the settings menu.

[@MrPeterBL]

@@jamie.andrews Thank you. But no luck for my old Q Revo, I guess.

[@thomasfogt1493]

Thanks for a great review! Previous firmware updates have improved the object avoidance - do you expect the same happening with this?

[@jamie.andrews]

It certainly could especially since they are using Reactive AI on more devices. It won't be as good as the S8 MaxV Ultra due to hardware limitations.

[@thomasfogt1493]

@@jamie.andrews how is it compared to the maxV? That got a great improve w the firmware update. So it's to understand if it's par now with it or it could become even better in the future. Many thanks

[@ToTCaMbIu]

Would you happen to know what firmware version you were running during object avoidance tests?

[@jamie.andrews]

Master was 02.21.74

[@gregoryh641]

Thanks, great review. Is it better than a Dreame X30 or X40? Which one do you prefer? Thanks !

[@jamie.andrews]

It does not really compete with either of those. They have more features. The X series is Dreame's flagship models so those would compete with the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra which is Roborock's flagship line. The Qrevo line would compete with the Dreame L series.

[@ChewysBro]

I feel like a lot of these Chinese-branded robot vacuums arent tweaked enough for the North American market in terms of carpet cleaning, navigation and obstacle avoidance.

[@jamie.andrews]

Interesting take. Roborock is not as good as Dreame and Eufy with object avoidance.

[@nogridbag]

The self-cleaning dock is still kind of an odd choice to me. Do you find it reduces or increases maintenance compared to the original Qrevo? It seems you still have to clean the base. But now you have two pieces that need to be cleaned and more moving parts! Hopefully that bottom of the top part doesn't need to be cleaned because it looks like it has lots of small crevices.

[@jamie.andrews]

You get it. It may allow you to go longer between cleanings. What I am about to tell you did not make the video cut, but I cleaned both trays and the Master took 10 seconds longer than the MaxV tray. I think it is a nice thing to have, but I would not consider it as part of my decision over the MaxV. Just not necessary.

[@nogridbag]

​@@jamie.andrews thanks that's what I suspected. It's there to check the box for marketing and to have feature parity with other robots.

[@NaiasEleias]

How does the Qrevo Master obstacle avoidance compare to the Qrevo MaxV after the MaxV's update? Also you mentioned in the S8 MaxV review that the flexi-arm brush didn't work that well, is the Qrevo Master's flexi-arm brush any different since you say it works well here?

[@jamie.andrews]

QRevo Master and MaxV have the same obstacle avoidance hardware and after the last update on the MaxV it performs the exact same as the Master here. The Flexi Arm brush has been improved in corners for both the Master and the S8 MaxV Ultra however neither function in other places like under low lying furniture, doors and cabinets. That is a shame.

[@puffnstuff12]

I really want to see how the forthcoming edge performs.

[@jamie.andrews]

Same robot as the Curv. I'll have that review out in several weeks.

[@alphatech9702]

Roborock really confuses me with their releases and naming scheme. A lot of models are competing with each other.

[@jamie.andrews]

Yea I have given them that feedback. It is like 10 models in 1 year for just Qrevo alone

[@alphatech9702]

@@jamie.andrews Cool, I've asked them to get the newest robots as well no luck as of now. Would've liked to review.

[@mosey4650]

do you update the firmware before running tests?

[@jamie.andrews]

Always.

[@stefyx99678]

Would you recommend this one or Dreame L40?

[@jamie.andrews]

I have not tested the L40 yet.

[@_TrueDesire_]

Qrevo Slim vs Dreame L40 Ultra? 😎

[@jamie.andrews]

The L40 Ultra has better specs.

[@_TrueDesire_]

@jamie.andrews I'm interested if the new Slim with "StarSight" can finally rival Dreame's navigation system. Paper specs don't always translate to the real world, is my reasoning. I'm kinda bummed out with Dreame, my Z10 Pro released in 2021, and stopped receiving updates in 2022. That's not what I would normally call a good investment, my "carpet boost" is still flagged as Beta for whatever reason all these years.

[@jamie.andrews]

@@_TrueDesire_ Most robots released that long ago don't get updates. I think 2 years is about max from what I have seen. There are a few exceptions, but not many.

[@ukaszzakrzewski3645]

Why again.. why Roborok put’s microphones on lidar to make robot higher.. only to sell slim on 2025?

[@jamie.andrews]

Yea you are not the first person to say that. We still need to see how well the Slim navigates though. Lidar so far is king.

[@jordanfromit5998]

Why did you say the maxv ultra doesn't have dual brush rollers?

[@jamie.andrews]

I just watched the video again and don't see where I said this. Do you have a time stamp? Is it possible you misunderstood when I was referring to the Qrevo MaxV not having dual rollers?
