The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro's self-cleaning dock is one of the best I've come across — mop pads that feel fresh out of the washing machine after weeks of use is a real, practical win. The oscillating mop system does a solid job for regular maintenance cleaning, but can't match a roller-mop competitor at a similar price for deep cleaning or spill recovery. For $2,799 RRP, it's capable without quite delivering the flagship performance that price implies.
- 100°C hot water mop washing keeps pads consistently clean
- Mop pads detach fully into the dock, so no dirty pad contact with carpet
- 25,000Pa suction performs well on both carpet and hard floors on vacuum-only mode
- DuoDivide dual-roller brush went an entire month without a tangle
- First-run mapping is accurate and straightforward to customise in the app
- Oscillating mop pads can't match a roller-mop system for spills or deep cleaning
- Vacuuming performance drops noticeably in combination vacuum-and-mop mode
- FlexiArm side brush can scatter larger debris rather than capturing it
- Tangled on cables multiple times during testing
- No detergent included in the box despite dock having a detergent dispenser
The robot vacuum market is quietly splitting in two. On one side, you've got the newer roller mop systems — a flat, continuous track that applies warm water and scrubs across the floor as it moves. On the other, there's the more traditional oscillating mop pad approach.
I reviewed the Narwal Flow late last year, and its roller track mopping system changed my belief system on what a robot vacuum could do.
So when the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro arrived, I was a little bit surprised to find it still used oscillating mop pads.
That's not automatically a dealbreaker. But at $2,799 RRP, it's a question worth asking upfront: is the overall package good enough to justify the price when the mopping approach is a generation behind some of its direct competition?
I spent around a month with the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro in a three-bedroom home to find out.
There's a lot here that works well, particularly the dock's self-cleaning system. But there are a few consistent performance issues and one moment that came close to being a proper red flag. More on that shortly.
What makes the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro stand out?
Robot vacuums at this price tend to compete on a fairly predictable set of specs: suction power, obstacle avoidance, app features, and dock capability. The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro covers all of those, but its real differentiator is the dock's self-cleaning system.
Most robot vacuums wash their mop pads with warm water. The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro does it with 100 °C hot water.
After weeks of cleaning runs, the mop pads still felt like they had just come out of the washing machine. It's reassuring to know that the things that are supposed to be cleaning your floor are actually clean themselves.
The dock follows the wash with a 55 °C warm air drying cycle, so you're not leaving damp pads sitting in the base between runs.
The other feature I like is how the mop pads handle carpet. Rather than simply lifting the pads when crossing a rug, which inevitably still ends by dragging a damp pad across uneven carpet fibres, the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro can leave the mop pads in the dock entirely before starting a clean.
The robot vacuums first without them, then returns to the dock, reattaches the pads, and does a separate mopping pass on hard floors only.
My biggest frustration with robot vacuums has always been the way their mop pads end up smearing dirty water across carpet. Carpet is uneven by nature, and even a lifted mop will catch on the way through.
The robot also sits at 79.8 mm tall, with a retractable LiDAR navigation system that folds down when it needs to fit under furniture. That's among the slimmest in Roborock's current range, and it does translate to a practical difference in coverage.

Design and build quality
Design-wise, it's much like every other robot vacuum cleaner on the market. Let's be honest, there's not a huge amount of unique design work going on here.
The robot is circular, finished in glossy white, with the retractable LiDAR positioned at the back rather than the front, which is a slight difference from what you'd normally see. The top panel pops off like any other.
The underside is more interesting. The DuoDivide main brush uses two separate rollers positioned on either side of a central gap, rather than a single roller running the full width. Hairs get channelled toward the gap and into the dustbin inlet, which is designed to avoid the tangle problem that plagues single-roller designs.
It seems to work – I had no tangles across the full month.
The side brush uses a two-arm wave design rather than the typical three-point triangle you'd see on most competitors, and it extends automatically when the robot senses a corner or edge.
The dustbin inside the robot is a decent size. By comparison, the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S has a notably compact onboard dustbin that fills quickly and clogs if it's not kept on top of. The Roborock's larger bin is a practical advantage for longer or less-monitored cleaning cycles.
There's also a detergent dispenser in the dock for adding cleaning solution to the mop water. The catch is that no detergent comes in the box; that's a separate purchase.
I tested the mopping over the full review period without detergent, which is worth keeping in mind when reading the mopping performance below.
The glossy white finish looks clean and sharp, but it collects dust at a rate that surprised me. Both the dock and the robot will need a regular wipe-down to stay looking presentable, which is mildly ironic for something that’s whole job is to keep things clean.
Performance
Vacuuming
On a vacuum-only cycle, the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro does a good job. It's thorough on carpet, working systematically through each room and handling fine dust and debris without much fuss.
The 25,000Pa maximum suction is right up there with the best on the market right now, and the difference between suction levels is noticeable in practice.
On hard floors, it handles the basics well. The FlexiArm side brush extends into corners and along edges, which does help with coverage, though I noticed it can spread larger bits of debris outside the vacuum's main cleaning path when it extends.
On more than one occasion I found scattered debris after a clean that looked like it had been moved rather than collected. It may have contributed to some of the missed pickup I saw consistently.
That missed pickup was more noticeable in combination vacuum-and-mop mode. On multiple passes through the house running both functions simultaneously, I walked through afterwards and found small pieces of debris the vacuum had missed.
I'm not entirely sure why that drop-off happens when it does a good job on a pure vacuum cycle — something about the combo mode seems to affect coverage — but it was consistent enough to flag.
Running a dedicated vacuum cycle followed by a dedicated mop cycle produced cleaner results, though that approach puts more pressure on battery life.
Mopping
The oscillating mop pads do a solid job for regular maintenance cleaning. If you run the robot on a frequent cycle, the floors stay in good shape, though you’ll still need to do a proper deep clean occasionally. But for everyday grime, it gets the job done.
It's not, however, at the same level as a dedicated roller mop system. The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S uses a track roller that applies warm water continuously across a wider contact surface and scrapes the mess as it moves.
The Edge 2 Pro can't match that for dealing with anything spilled or anything that requires real scrubbing. The oscillating design lacks the same consistent floor pressure and water contact. Good enough for maintenance, not the best for a deep clean.
I also tested throughout without detergent, since none was included. It's possible detergent would improve mopping results on hard floors — something worth factoring in if you pick one up.
Height and obstacle avoidance
The 7.98 cm height with the retractable LiDAR is enticing for those with low furniture, and in most cases it delivered. The robot reached under sofas, bed frames, and low furniture that a taller robot would have skipped entirely.
That said, it was probably still a little bit overcautious with a couple of pieces of furniture that I think it technically should have fitted under. You can identify those spots afterwards because they leave a clean outline of dust right where the robot stopped short.
The bigger ongoing issue was cables. The robot tangled on cables on multiple occasions during the month of testing, both behind the lounge, and in one of the kids' rooms more than once.
For a robot claiming obstacle recognition of over 200 household objects, cables on the floor are a surprisingly consistent problem. The practical fix is to tidy up any loose cables before running a cycle, which you'll probably do anyway on a regular cleaning schedule.
I did have one moment during testing that may have been a bug, but feel it’s worth mentioning. The robot got tangled on a cable behind the lounge (again), and I cleared the tangle before pressing the button on the robot to continue the clean.
It had been doing a room-only clean, but after restarting, it decided to do a full house vacuum-and-mop run, which meant it headed into the carpeted kid’s room with the mop pads still attached.
It only happened once, and I haven't seen it mentioned in any other coverage, but it's the kind of thing that would matter if you weren't home to notice it.
The 4 cm obstacle crossing system is a solid spec on paper, though my home is flat enough that I couldn't really test it in practice.
Setup and dock
Setting up the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro was easy. The mapping process was pretty accurate on the first pass, and I only needed to customise the map to better separate some open-plan areas like the kitchen and dining room. Setting no-go zones and virtual walls is easy once you're in the app.
The dock's performance is the highlight of the whole package. Automatic dust emptying works well, the mop pad cleaning is consistent, and the 100 °C wash cycle does exactly what it claims.
The dirty water tank needs to be emptied after every run (leave dirty water sitting in the dock, and it starts to smell) but that's a two-minute job if you build it into the routine.
Verdict
The Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro is a perfectly fine robot vacuum cleaner. It looks good, vacuums well on dedicated cycles, and the dock's self-cleaning system is one of the better ones I've come across.
The mop pad hygiene is a real strength here, with the pads feeling like they've just come out of the washing machine despite having mopped the house for weeks.
But it doesn't stand apart. It's not delivering any mind-blowing new features.
At $2,799 RRP, the oscillating mopping at this price is not at the same level as a dedicated roller mop device. The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S and Narwal Flow both mop better, and the Dreame can step over obstacles up to 6 cm with its dedicated leg system.
If you can pick it up on sale, the overall experience is a positive one. At $2,799 RRP, it's a harder sell.
Buy the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro if
- You run your robot on a regular maintenance schedule. The oscillating mop pads are well suited to keeping floors tidy between deeper cleans, and the 100 °C dock washing means the pads stay genuinely clean between runs.
- You've got mixed flooring and have had mop-on-carpet problems before. The full mop detachment system is a proper fix, not a workaround, and it works well.
- You're looking for tangle-free vacuuming. The DuoDivide dual-roller brush went a full month of testing without a single tangle, which in a home with long hair or pets is a meaningful win.
- You can get it discounted. The performance at $2,400 or below is much easier to recommend than at the full RRP.
Skip the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro if
- Deep mopping is your priority. If you want a robot that'll properly deal with spills and ground-in grime, a roller-mop system like the Narwal Flow does that job better.
- Your home has cables on the floor. The obstacle avoidance is not reliable enough around cables, and tangling was a recurring issue across the test period.
- You're mostly vacuuming carpet. The combo cycle is weaker than vacuum-only, and if carpet makes up the bulk of your home, the mopping features you're paying for don't add much value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro come with detergent?
No. The dock includes a dispenser that adds cleaning solution to the mop water, but the detergent itself is a separate purchase. I tested the mopping throughout this review using water only, which is worth keeping in mind. Results with detergent may differ, particularly on harder-to-clean tile or stone floors.
How low can the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro get under furniture?
The robot sits at 79.8 mm tall, with a retractable LiDAR that folds down to let it slide under low furniture. In testing, it reached under most sofas and bed frames without issue, though it was more cautious than I expected with a couple of pieces where there should have been clearance to spare.
Can the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro vacuum without mopping?
Yes, and for carpet it's the better approach. The mop pads can be left in the dock entirely before a clean. The robot heads out to vacuum without them, then returns, reattaches, and does a separate mopping pass on hard floors. In testing, dedicated vacuum cycles produced cleaner results than running both functions simultaneously.
How does the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro compare to the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S?
The Dreame at $2,999 mops better with its roller track system and can clear obstacles up to 6 cm using a set of dedicated legs. The Roborock has a larger onboard dustbin, costs $200 less, and has the stronger self-cleaning dock. If mopping performance is your main reason for buying at this price point, the Dreame has the edge. If you want solid all-round performance at a slight saving and care most about keeping the mop pads clean, the Roborock is a reasonable pick.
How often does the dirty water tank need to be emptied?
After every cleaning run. If dirty water is left sitting in the dock, it will start to smell within a day or so. It's a quick job (a couple of minutes) but you need to build it into the routine rather than assuming the dock handles itself entirely.
