Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro Review: Every Claim Against the Test Results

Robot vacuums are sold on one number, and that number is suction. So this Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review puts the headline claims in one column and the measured test results in the other.

They do not match as well as the box suggests, and the mismatch is specific rather than general.

Claims Against Results

The suction number does not predict the hair result.

Read down that table and a pattern appears immediately. Everything this Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro review found positive sits on hard floors, and the marketing does not tell you where that line falls.

The Numbers That Matter

Hair at 60% on hardwood and 48% on carpet, against 92.5% for larger debris.

A publication weighed the dustbin after controlled spills and these are its results.

On hardwood it collected 92.5% of Rice Krispies and 92% of flaxseeds, which is genuinely good. It collected 60% of hair on the same surface, a gap of 32.5 points against the best result on that floor.

On carpet things drop further. Rice Krispies fell to 76.5%, hair to 48% and flaxseeds to 51%, so fine debris worked into carpet pile is where this machine struggles most. Flaxseed pickup fell 41 points moving from hardwood to carpet.

The tester also reported hair being skipped on hardwood and some of it caught in the wheels, which is the practical version of a 60% score.

Why the Suction Number Misleads

Here is the thing worth understanding, and it applies beyond this model.

Suction is one variable. Picking up hair depends mostly on brush design and on whether hair tangles or gets flung rather than collected, which is why a machine can post a category leading suction figure and still leave visible hair on a floor.

So if you have a shedding pet, the suction spec on any robot vacuum is close to irrelevant to the decision, and the brush and anti tangle design is what you should read instead.

The Specification Does Not Agree With Itself

25,000 Pa or 20,000 Pa depending on which source you read.

We hit something awkward while researching this and we would rather report it than paper over it.

One publication gives maximum suction as 25,000 Pa. A specialist site reporting the manufacturer's own claims gives 20,000 Pa. Those are 25.0% apart on the single headline specification of the product.

Mop wash temperature splits the same way, at 167F in one source and about 149F in the other, a difference of 18 degrees. We cannot tell you which figures are current, and it is entirely possible that specifications or regional variants changed between the two reports.

What we can say is that if a specific number matters to your decision, confirm it on the listing you are actually buying from rather than from any review including this one.

The Price Is Not the Price

$799 on paper, $549.98 and $649.99 in the wild.

List price is quoted at $799. At the time those sources were written it was listed at $549.98 at one retailer and $649.99 at the brand's own store.

That is 31.2% below list at the cheapest, and the two street prices are themselves 18.2% apart. Robot vacuums discount hard and often, so paying the list price for this category is close to a mistake.

Our view on value changes completely with the price. Near $550 this is a strong buy for a hard floor home. At $799 it is not, because that money reaches machines that handle hair better.

The Dock Is the Actual Upgrade

Self emptying, self washing, self drying, up to 65 days hands free.

This is where the money goes and it is the strongest part of the package.

The dock empties the robot into a 2.7L dustbag, holds two 4L tanks for clean and dirty water, washes the mop pads in heated water, dries them with 113F air and refills the robot. The quoted hands free period is up to 65 days.

Mop pad drying is the part people underrate. A damp pad left on a robot develops a smell within days, and a dock that dries them removes the single most common complaint about hybrid machines.

Size is reasonable too. The dock and robot together measure 19.5 by 17.7 by 15.8 inches, which one reviewer specifically praised as suiting smaller homes, though a competing source notes it is wider than the previous generation dock.

Living With It

253 minutes of runtime, 3.8 inches tall, no heated mopping.

Runtime is 253 minutes on a 6400mAh battery, which is about 4.2 hours and more than enough for a single home.

At 3.8 inches tall it clears most sofas but not all, and it lifts its mops 15 mm on carpet, which is the mechanism that stops it dragging wet pads across a rug.

Two reported irritations. The mopping needed two passes to fully clean a floor, and the app does not show how much time remains in a cleaning run. Neither is serious, and neither would stop us buying.

The missing feature is heated mopping, which is reserved for flagship models. At this price that is a reasonable omission rather than a cut corner.

• Check the suction figure on the listing you buy from

• Do not pay list price, this category discounts constantly

• Measure under your sofas against 3.8 inches

• If you have a shedding pet, read hair tests not suction

Who It Is For

Hard floors and no shedding pets. Otherwise look at the hair results again.

The split here is unusually clean. If your home is mostly hard floors and nobody in it sheds, this performs well and the dock does the work you bought it for.

If your home is mostly carpet, the 48% hair and 51% flaxseed results on carpet are the numbers to weigh, and they are not good enough to recommend on that basis alone.

Final Verdict

Seven out of ten, and the score is really two scores. On hard floors it collected 92.5% and 92% of larger debris in testing, the dock empties, washes and dries for up to 65 days, and near a street price of $549.98 that is a lot of machine. On hair it managed 60% on hardwood and 48% on carpet, and fine debris on carpet fell to 51%, so the headline suction figure is not predicting the result that most buyers actually care about. Buy it for hard floors at the street price, not for a carpeted home with a shedding pet, and confirm the specification on the listing because our sources disagreed by 25.0% on suction.

Does the dock wash and dry the mops?

Yes. It washes the pads in heated water and dries them with 113F air, and it self empties into a 2.7L bag for up to 65 days of hands free use.
