Roborock Qrevo Series Mopping Test: Mop Pressure, Nozzles, Lift Function and Drying Compared

Overview: Mopping Functions of the Roborock Qrevo Series

When I look at the Roborock portfolio, the Qrevo Series takes a very special role: It targets users who want more than just vacuuming with an attached mop cloth. The Qrevo models combine strong suction power with a significantly upgraded mopping system – including mop pressure, well-thought-out water supply nozzles, a partially very sophisticated lift function and drying solutions in the station.

In everyday use, it's less about technical gimmicks and more about concrete questions: How well are dried coffee stains removed? How hygienic do the mops stay after a week with children and pets? And how reliably do carpets stay protected from wet rollers? This is exactly where the different equipment levels within the Qrevo family come in – from the more compact model designed for smaller apartments to top variants with maximum comfort.

From my perspective, it's important: There is no one perfect Qrevo model, but rather a suitable variant for almost every requirement. Those who mainly have hard floors place more value on pressure and good moistening. In households with many carpets and sensitive surfaces, the lift function moves more into focus. And those who value as little maintenance as possible will be happy with a sophisticated drying system.

In the following, I'll go through the core functions step by step – always with a view to how the models in the Qrevo series differ from each other and which combination convinces in practice. If you want to compare specifically, it's worth taking a look at the table later before considering a model like the Roborock Qrevo S [asin="B0DX6SRX99",type="standard"] or a stronger Qrevo Master or particularly flat Qrevo Slim variant.

Mop Pressure: Differences Between Qrevo Models

Comparison of Pressure in the Qrevo Family

The mop pressure – i.e., how firmly the rotating mops are pressed onto the floor – largely determines whether the robot just wipes moistly or really loosens dirt. In the Qrevo series, the spectrum typically ranges from moderate, everyday-suitable pressure in the base models to significantly increased pressure in variants designed for maximum mopping performance (often marketed under designations like "Max" or "Master").

From my experience with several devices, it's noticeable: The rather simple Qrevo configurations work with a rather gentle to medium pressure. This is absolutely sufficient for normal everyday dust, paw prints and light stains. For stubborn, dried-on dirt – such as dried sauce drops in the kitchen – the stronger Qrevo versions with higher pressure perform significantly better. The mops are really "pressed" onto the floor, creating an effect similar to a hand mop with strong pressure.

Impact on Hard Floors and Stubborn Stains

On hard floors like tiles, vinyl or sealed parquet, the difference shows most clearly. Higher pressure ensures that the microfibers penetrate better into the pores and also remove slightly dried residues. In my kitchen, for example, sauce splatters after a cooking evening were gone in one pass with a higher-quality Qrevo model, while a weaker model had to run twice.

However, higher pressure also has side effects: Mops wear out somewhat faster and sensitive surfaces (e.g., very soft wooden floors or cheap laminate) can be stressed more. That's why I find it important that the models often offer different mopping intensities in the app. So you can activate strong pressure for tiles with a Qrevo Master, but reduce the intensity somewhat in the living area with sensitive parquet.

Water Supply and Nozzles: How Efficiently is the Mop Moistened?

Number and Position of Nozzles by Model

At least as important as the pressure is the type of water supply. In the Qrevo series, all models rely on controlled moistening via nozzles that spray water onto the mops or into a cleaning tray. Depending on the model, however, the number and arrangement of nozzles varies.

Simpler Qrevo variants work with few, centrally positioned nozzles that distribute water more broadly. Higher-quality systems – as with the more heavily equipped Qrevo Master or S configurations – often have multiple, specifically aligned nozzles. Here the mops are moistened more evenly, which I noticed during testing by the constant moisture throughout the entire cleaning run.

Water Distribution, Cleaning Modes and Consumption

In practice it shows: More nozzles don't automatically mean more water consumption, but rather more even distribution. Combined with different mopping modes (from lightly moist to intensely wet), the Qrevo can be adjusted very well to your own home. In my test runs, two things stood out particularly:

• With smaller Qrevo configurations, the mop can dry out somewhat toward the end of longer runs when "heavily moist" is selected and the area is large.
• Models with more complex nozzle systems keep the mops significantly more evenly moist – ideal for larger floor plans or when you prefer to get everything done in one pass.

Added to this is the aspect of efficiency: A well-adjusted nozzle system ensures that the floor dries quickly and no puddles form. Especially in households with children or pets, this is important because slipping hazards and wet paw prints are significantly reduced. The Qrevo series is comparatively restrained here overall – even the intensive modes don't tend to over-water, provided the water level is set correctly.

Mop Lift Function: Carpet Protection and Flexibility

Which Qrevo Models Lift the Mops?

One of the biggest practical advantages of the Qrevo series is the mop lift function. Depending on the model, the mops can be raised by several millimeters to just over a centimeter when driving over a carpet. While base models sometimes only offer slight lifting or pure bypassing of carpet zones, the higher-quality Qrevo versions rely on a sophisticated, automatic lift system.

In my tests with short-pile carpets, automatic carpet detection worked solidly with all Qrevo variants. The difference lies in the height of the lift and how reliably the mops really have no contact with the carpet surface. With models with greater lift height, even lighter carpets remained dry after a combined vacuum-mop run. Models with lower lifting tend to still lightly touch the fibers on very thick carpets.

Impact on Mixed Living Environments

In modern apartments, I rarely find a pure hard floor or pure carpet landscape. Usually there's a mix: hallway and kitchen with tiles, living room with carpet island, bedroom with runner. This is exactly where a proper lift function plays to its strengths. Instead of having to create separate zones and constantly switch manually, the better-equipped Qrevo models simply drive through and dynamically switch between mopping and just vacuuming.

Those who have many carpets – especially high-pile variants or thick carpets in the living room – should therefore consciously choose a Qrevo version with higher lift height when selecting. Models like a Qrevo S or Master configuration aim precisely at this flexibility. Flatter model variants like a Qrevo Slim focus more on low build height and good ability to get under furniture; the lift function there is designed for a practical but somewhat less extreme range.

Drying Systems: Hygiene and Comfort Compared

Hot Air and Warm Air Drying in the Qrevo Series

A point that many underestimate until they've used a mopping robot for a longer time is the drying of mops in the station. If the pads remain moist after cleaning, they develop an unpleasant odor within a few days and are problematic from a hygienic perspective. In the Qrevo series, there are therefore different levels of drying:

• Simple warm air drying with moderate temperature and fixed duration.
• Extended hot air drying, often with adjustable programs (e.g., 2, 3 or 4 hours), which removes moisture very reliably.

In my everyday test, the differences were clearly noticeable. While basic drying dries the mop superficially, the more advanced systems are practically "cupboard dry" after a few hours. This noticeably reduces odors and makes it possible to use the robot even in high humidity or basement rooms without a queasy feeling.

Duration, Noise Level and Energy Requirements

Drying always means additional energy use and a certain noise development from the fan. With Qrevo variants with hot or warm air, the programs are typically designed for several hours. Subjectively, the fan noise is comparable to a quiet bathroom fan or laptop cooling – noticeable, but not disturbing if the station isn't in the bedroom.

Those who want to save electricity can adjust the duration in many models or activate the drying mode only for heavily soiled or particularly wet cleaning runs. For me personally, the hygiene advantage clearly outweighs the additional consumption. Especially in households with animals or small children, where bacterial load and odor development are also an issue, I would always tend toward a Qrevo variant with active drying, such as in the performance range of a Qrevo S or Master.

Cleaning Practice: Which Combination Fits Which Household?

Recommendations for Families, Pet Households and Carpet Lovers

After many test runs and conversations with users, some clear profiles crystallize for me, for which certain Qrevo configurations are particularly sensible:

• Families with children: Here juice stains, food scraps and craft traces quickly end up on the floor. Higher pressure and good nozzle control ensure that the floor really gets clean. Additionally, strong drying is important so that no odors form on the mops. An equipment class like Qrevo S or Master is ideal for this target group.
• Households with pets: Paw prints, splash water at the bowl and pet hair demand a lot from the mopping system. Robust pressure with simultaneously economical water distribution prevents streaks from forming. Active drying in the station reduces pet odor. Here I see the stronger Qrevo models again clearly at an advantage.
• Apartments with many carpets: Those who love carpet islands should primarily pay attention to the lift function and carpet detection. A Qrevo Master variant or similar top models with higher mop lift height make sense, as they keep carpets dry and still vacuum everywhere.
• Compact city apartments: With limited space and many pieces of furniture, a flatter variant like a Qrevo Slim can score points. It gets better under sofas and sideboards, while pressure and standard drying are completely sufficient for the smaller area.

Comfort Functions vs. Purchase Costs

Of course, these additional functions don't come without a price. Models with higher pressure, sophisticated nozzle system, strong lift function and hot air drying are significantly above the entry segment. From my perspective, the investment is always worthwhile when you want to use the robot daily or almost daily and the floor plays a central role in your everyday life – such as with barefoot children or when pets bring dirt into the house.

Those who rather occasionally let it mop, live with few, easy-to-clean hard floors and are willing to occasionally grab the mop themselves for stronger stains, are very well served with a simpler Qrevo configuration. What's important for me is that the series overall covers different priorities: Performance-oriented models like Qrevo S or Master, space-saving variants like Qrevo Slim and several expansion levels in between for different budgets.

Specific Model Recommendations by Priorities

When I break down the experiences with the Qrevo series into concrete purchase recommendations, this picture emerges for me:

• For maximum mopping performance and comfort – such as in families with children, pets or large hard floor areas – I recommend a fully equipped Qrevo variant in the performance range of a Qrevo Master or a correspondingly highly positioned Qrevo S. Here you get strong pressure, sophisticated nozzles, high mop lift height and very good drying in one package. [asin="B0DX6SRX99",type="standard"]
• For balanced performance on a limited budget, a medium Qrevo configuration is suitable: decent pressure, reasonable nozzles, solid carpet detection and warm air drying. You get the most important comfort functions without investing in every top option.
• For small, winding apartments or low furniture, I see a clear place for a Qrevo Slim variant. It focuses on compact design and flexibility, but still offers a significantly improved mopping system compared to simple entry-level vacuums.

  Which Qrevo model is best suited for many carpets?

  For apartments with many and partially thicker carpets, I recommend a Qrevo variant with high mop lift height and reliable carpet detection – typically a version in the performance range of a Qrevo Master or a heavily equipped Qrevo S. This way the carpet stays dry while hard floors are still intensively mopped.

• help

  Is hot air drying really worth it?

  From my perspective, yes – especially if the robot mops several times a week or daily. The mops dry completely through, which significantly reduces odors and germ load. Those who only mop occasionally or frequently wash and dry the mop manually can get by with a simpler warm air solution, but lose some comfort.

If you want to get specific now, compare the technical data of the Qrevo S [asin="B0DX6SRX99",type="standard"], a fully equipped Qrevo Master and a particularly flat Qrevo Slim variant with each other – this way you'll find exactly the model that best meets your mopping requirements in everyday life.
