What is it?
The Roborock Q Revo is a fully automated combo robot vacuum and mop featuring Roborock's most advanced consumer dock automation at the time of launch. The all-in-one dock handles emptying, mop washing, and drying autonomously — making it one of the least hands-on robot cleaning systems available under $700.
Who is it for?
Homeowners who want maximum cleaning automation with minimal maintenance intervention. Those with a mix of hard floors and carpet who want the mop to retract on carpet and the dock to handle all cleaning of the mop system automatically. Buyers evaluating the iRobot j9+ and Roborock S8 Pro Ultra at similar or higher prices.

How it compares
The Q Revo vs iRobot j9+: the Q Revo's dock washes and dries the mop pads; the j9+'s Clean Base does not. Roborock's spinning mop applies more scrubbing pressure than iRobot's jet spray. The j9+ has PrecisionVision camera obstacle avoidance; the Q Revo is LiDAR-only without camera AI. For mopping performance and dock automation, the Q Revo wins; for obstacle avoidance in cluttered homes, the j9+ is stronger. Against the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra ($1299+), the Q Revo offers very similar dock automation at half the price.
Limitations
- LiDAR-only navigation — no camera AI obstacle avoidance
- 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only
- Mop wash uses clean water from dock reservoir — requires manual top-up
- $699 is a significant investment vs entry-level combo models
- Dustbag cost for auto-empty dock
FAQ
Does the Roborock Q Revo dock wash the mop pads automatically?
Yes. The Q Revo dock washes the spinning mop pads with clean water and then hot-air dries them after each cleaning session. This eliminates the need to manually clean the mops between runs, which is the key advantage over lower-cost combo robots.
Does the Q Revo mop retract on carpet?
Yes. The Q Revo automatically lifts its spinning mop pads when it detects carpet, preventing moisture transfer. This makes it suitable for homes with a mix of hard floors and carpeted areas without requiring virtual boundaries for mop exclusion zones.
How does the Roborock Q Revo compare to the S8 Pro Ultra?
The S8 Pro Ultra (at $1299+) offers slightly more suction (6000Pa vs 5500Pa), dual rubber brushroll, and more refined dock engineering. The Q Revo offers near-identical dock automation for $600 less. For most homeowners, the Q Revo provides the better value-to-performance ratio.
What is the dock water capacity on the Q Revo?
The Q Revo dock has a 2.5L clean water reservoir and a 2.5L waste water tank. Clean water is used to wash the mop pads. The waste water tank needs to be emptied and the clean tank refilled periodically.
Does the Roborock Q Revo require a subscription?
No subscription is required. All core features — mapping, scheduling, zone cleaning, and dock automation — are available through the free Roborock app.
