Roborock Qrevo vs. Qrevo MaxV vs. Qrevo Pro: The Key Differences Explained

Roborock Qrevo vs. Qrevo MaxV vs. Qrevo Pro: Which Model Suits You?

The Roborock Qrevo series now covers a surprisingly wide range: from the solid all-rounder to the comfort champion to the high-end device with camera and intelligent object recognition. In my everyday test, I quickly realized: There is no "one" best model, but different strengths for different living situations. In this article, I show how Qrevo, Qrevo MaxV and Qrevo Pro differ – clearly and without marketing fog.

Overview: The Qrevo Family from Roborock

The three models are clearly positioned in the Roborock portfolio. While the S-models are usually traded as flagships, the Qrevo series is the practical solution for users who value strong mopping performance and a comfortable station, but don't necessarily need every high-end function.

The classic Roborock Qrevo forms the entry into the Qrevo world. It is aimed at users who want a reliable combination of vacuuming and rotating mops without paying too much for premium features. The Qrevo Pro relies on a modernized design, increased performance and even more automation in the station – here you can see that Roborock has comfort and user-friendliness in mind above all. The Qrevo MaxV is finally the most technically ambitious model in the series, with camera, extended object recognition and many refinements in the software.

Basically, the target groups can be classified as follows: Qrevo for price-performance fans, Qrevo Pro for families and users with lots of hard floors and mixed surfaces, Qrevo MaxV for smart home enthusiasts, tech fans and households with many obstacles, cables or pets.

Who are the three models basically suitable for?

From my experience, the three Qrevo models are classified as follows:

• Qrevo: Apartments up to medium size, predominantly hard floors, occasional carpets, focus on price-performance.

• Qrevo Pro: Family households, mixed floor types, frequent use, desire for lots of automation in the station and comfortable maintenance.

• Qrevo MaxV: Complex floor plans, many obstacles, pets, tech affinity, desire for better object recognition and flexible automation.

Common Strengths of the Qrevo Models

Basic functions for vacuuming, mopping and the docking station

All three devices share a core: They are vacuum and mopping robots with a focus on rotating mops and a comfortable base station. In practice, this means: The mops rotate at high speed and are automatically cleaned in the station. At the same time, the dust container is vacuumed out, so you have to deal with everyday dirt much less frequently.

In vacuum mode, all Qrevo models rely on strong central suction with a rubber brush, which works convincingly especially on hard floors and short-pile carpets. When mopping, it's noticeable that Roborock has put a lot of fine-tuning into the water flow: In my tests, even dried-on stains were significantly reduced after one to two passes. The docking stations of all three models support some form of automatic mop cleaning and drying, which effectively reduces odors and mold formation.

Navigation, app control and typical comfort functions

Regardless of the model, you benefit from the sophisticated Roborock app. It offers room maps, zone cleaning, multi-story maps and quite intuitive operation. Typical comfort functions like no-go zones, no-mop zones and targeted room cleaning are on board with all Qrevo devices. In practice, this was especially important for me in everyday life: quickly clean just the kitchen and hallway before visitors arrive – no problem.

All three devices also offer automatic programs, such as adjustable suction power per room or increased performance on carpet. Firmware updates also come relatively regularly, so functions are improved or expanded over time. Despite the differences in details, Qrevo, Qrevo MaxV and Qrevo Pro therefore feel similar in principle – you don't have to learn a completely new app every time.

Suction and Mopping Performance Comparison

Differences in suction power, carpet performance and noise level

In terms of pure suction power, the three models are closer together than numbers alone suggest. In my tests, the nozzle construction and carpet detection play just as important a role as the nominal Pascal number. The Qrevo delivers solid cleaning performance that is completely sufficient for normal households. The Qrevo Pro seems somewhat more powerful on carpet, especially through its adapted profiles and behavior at carpet edges.

The Qrevo MaxV scores here with the finest tuning: It recognizes carpets more precisely, increases suction power more specifically and drives more frequently over heavily soiled areas. Acoustically, all three are well tolerable in normal mode, with the MaxV being audibly more powerful and therefore louder in turbo mode. Those sensitive to noise should use the time-controlled night reduction in the app, which is available for all Qrevo models.

Mopping functions, contact pressure, mop rotation speed and carpet protection

Mopping performance is one of the greatest strengths of the Qrevo series. The mops rotate at high speed and exert noticeable contact pressure. The basic mode of the Qrevo is already very suitable for everyday use: light stains like coffee or water residue are reliably removed, and the floors dry relatively quickly.

With the Qrevo Pro and Qrevo MaxV, Roborock adds another layer. Both offer extended settings for water intensity, mopping routes and carpet protection. Especially the MaxV is consistent when it comes to carpet protection: It bypasses carpets very precisely when mopping is active or lifts – depending on the mode – the mops slightly to protect them. In households with many carpets, I find this a real advantage.

Navigation and Obstacle Detection

Lidar navigation on all three models compared

All Qrevo devices rely on Lidar navigation. In practice, this ensures very structured driving patterns and comprehensible maps. In my rooms, all three devices quickly found their way around, even in narrow hallways or winding areas. The difference lies less in basic navigation, but in the refinements in obstacle avoidance.

While the Qrevo recognizes obstacles mainly via Lidar and bumper, Qrevo Pro and Qrevo MaxV benefit from additional sensors and more sophisticated algorithms. The MaxV also relies on a visual system with camera, which helps visibly especially in messy environments, such as with cables or children's toys lying around.

Additional functions like camera, object recognition and privacy aspects

The Qrevo MaxV is the only model in this trio with an integrated camera. It is used for extended object recognition and can – depending on settings – also serve for a kind of remote monitoring. From a technical perspective, this works impressively well: The robot usually reliably avoids cables, shoes or even pet accidents.

From a privacy perspective, you should be aware that not everyone likes a camera in the living room. Roborock emphasizes that images are processed locally and don't go to the cloud. Nevertheless, I personally prefer models without cameras in bedrooms or sensitive rooms, i.e. the classic Qrevo or the Qrevo Pro. However, if you want to occasionally check on things via app while on vacation, you'll find an interesting option in the MaxV.

Docking Station, Maintenance and Comfort

Station functionality: Suction, fresh/waste water tank, mop cleaning and drying

The docking stations are a core argument for the Qrevo series. All three models have fresh and waste water tanks as well as automatic mop cleaning. In my everyday life, this means: The robot can perform several cleanings before I need to refill fresh water or dispose of dirty water.

The Qrevo Pro and the Qrevo MaxV go a bit further. Their stations usually offer more efficient mop drying and sometimes faster cleaning cycles, so the mops stay wet for less time after cleaning. Additionally, emptying the dust bag in the station is usually solved somewhat more comfortably with Pro and MaxV.

Differences in maintenance effort, noise development and follow-up costs

Maintenance shows everyday reality: Filters, mops and dust bags cause ongoing costs that you should factor in. The classic Qrevo has a small advantage here because its station is somewhat simpler in construction – less mechanics also means fewer wear points if needed. The Qrevo Pro and MaxV score with comfort, for example through even stronger station automation.

Acoustically, it's noticeable that the suction processes in the station are relatively loud but brief for all Qrevo models. In an apartment building, I would restrict emptying times at night. Follow-up costs are in the typical range for premium vacuum robots: Those who use high-quality original parts pay more, but in my experience also get better and more durable performance.

Smart Home, App Functions and Automation

Map management, no-go zones, cleaning routines and schedules

The Roborock app is largely identical for all three models, which makes operation easier. You can create multiple maps for different floors, name and combine rooms, and define no-go zones, no-go and no-mop areas. In my tests, this worked equally reliably with Qrevo, Qrevo Pro and Qrevo MaxV.

I find the ability to create individual cleaning routines and schedules particularly helpful: Kitchen and hallway in the morning, only the entrance area in the afternoon, the whole house with intensive mopping function on weekends. The MaxV offers a few more extended options here, for example in combination with its object recognition, but is basically not necessarily needed if you "only" want stable, plannable cleaning.

Integration into voice assistants and smart scenarios

All three Qrevo models can be integrated into common voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. In my smart home everyday life, it was very pleasant to start individual rooms via voice command or send the robot back to the station. The Qrevo MaxV particularly plays out its strengths when you want to set up complex automation scenarios, for example via external smart home hubs.

If you consistently expand your smart home, it's worth taking a close look at interfaces and integrations. In this regard, all Qrevo devices are well positioned, the differences are rather gradual. For most users, standard integration is completely sufficient to automate cleanings and link them to specific times of day or absence profiles.

Price, Target Groups and Purchase Recommendation

Price structure and typical offers of the three models

In terms of price, the three Qrevo devices are in a clear hierarchy: The Qrevo marks the entry point, the Qrevo Pro moves in the middle to upper segment, and the Qrevo MaxV forms the top of the series. In practice, however, there are frequently offers and promotions, so the gap between models sometimes becomes smaller.

Which Qrevo model fits which living situation and which requirements?

From my perspective, the decision can be broken down as follows:

• Qrevo: If you're looking for a solid, modern combination of vacuuming and mopping, especially on hard floors, and don't want to overstretch your budget, this model is a very good entry point. You get the essential Qrevo advantages without many extras.

• Qrevo Pro: As soon as comfort is in the foreground – for example in a larger apartment or house with several people – the extra cost is worthwhile. The station works even more autonomously, mopping comfort is higher and overall performance seems more rounded.

• Qrevo MaxV: For tech fans, smart home power users and households with many obstacles, pets or children, I clearly see the MaxV ahead. The camera-supported object recognition and more flexible scenarios are the biggest plus points here, provided you feel comfortable with a camera in the living space.

Once you've basically decided on the Qrevo design, it's also worth looking at the other models in the series. For very compact apartments or tight floor plans, a slim model like the Qrevo Slim can be interesting, while a Qrevo Master with particularly high functionality rather plays out its strengths in large houses.

Therefore, check before purchase which priorities you set: maximum automation, compact design or the best price-performance ratio. You can find suitable variants of the series among others here:

[asin="B0FVY15ZF7",type="standard"]

[asin="B0CZH7B4QX",type="standard"]

Bottom line, after several weeks with the Qrevo series, I'm convinced: There's now a suitable model for almost every requirement. The key is that you honestly answer beforehand how much technology, comfort and smart home integration you'll actually use – and make your choice accordingly.

  Which Qrevo model is best for pets?

  For households with pets, I tend to recommend the Qrevo MaxV: The camera-supported object recognition helps better recognize typical stumbling blocks like toys or occasional "accidents". If you want to do without a camera, the Qrevo Pro is a good compromise between comfort and performance.

  Is the regular Qrevo sufficient for an 80-100 m² apartment?

  Yes, in many cases the classic Qrevo is completely sufficient for apartments up to around 100 m² – especially if you have predominantly hard floors and only a few, not too high carpets. However, if you place great value on comfort at the station and as few manual interventions as possible, it's worth looking at the Qrevo Pro.

Conclusion: Whether Qrevo, Qrevo Pro or Qrevo MaxV – the series is clearly segmented, and that's exactly what makes it so exciting. Choose the model that best fits your everyday life, and use offers as well as variants like Qrevo S, Qrevo Master or Qrevo Slim to further optimize the price-performance ratio.
