I've tested dozens of robot vacuums - this new $599 Roborock has all the features I need

After extensive testing and comparison, ZDNET has determined that the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro robot vacuum and mop stands out as a top contender in the midrange category. Priced at $800, it is currently available for $550 through an introductory offer, making it an attractive value at its midrange price point.

This robot excels in cleaning environments with complex layouts, efficiently tackling pet hair on both hardwood floors and carpets. In my office, it quickly freshens the space and removes allergens without requiring intervention. The Qrevo 2 Pro's innovative features, such as self-emptying dustbin, self-washing mop pads, and intelligent cleaning, set it apart from other models I have tested.

The vacuuming process is impressively thorough, covering the entire area within 10 minutes and reaching into tight spaces, including corners and under furniture. The mop pads employ Flexi Arm technology to extend just 2mm from walls and furniture, ensuring edge-to-edge cleaning. The robot adeptly navigates around obstacles, like furniture and my dog, but occasionally stumbles over floor cords.

One of the Qrevo 2 Pro's standout features is its ability to automatically return the mop pads to the dock for washing and drying after vacuuming carpets, eliminating the need for manual intervention. With its midrange price and impressive capabilities, this robot vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for most consumers in the category, particularly those with diverse floor types and minimal loose items on their floors.
