Roborock Qrevo L: 10,000 Pa, updated side brush, All-in-One Station

The Roborock Qrevo L robot vacuum cleaner is a new product for 2025, boasting increased suction power of 10,000 Pa, an updated side brush with anti-tangle protection, an object detection system, and an all-in-one cleaning station. This station self-empties the dust bin and washes and dries cleaning cloths. For this combination of features, you'll have to pay between $430 and $550, which is quite reasonable compared to similar products. Below, I'll thoroughly test the Roborock Qrevo L, highlight its pros and cons, and then share my personal opinion. Let's get started!

Equipment

The robot vacuum cleaner arrived in a branded box like this:

The package includes the robot itself with a station, two holders with wipes, a power adapter, and an instruction manual translated into Russian, as in my case the version is Russian.

Appearance

Now let's take a look at the Roborock Qrevo L's design. Let's start with the robot vacuum itself. It's round and comes in two colors: black and white.

A wall sensor is installed on the right, and a system of sensors for detecting and accurately avoiding objects on the floor is located in the center.

The technology is called Reactive Tech, like its predecessors, the Roborock Qrevo S and Pro. The robot does not have an active camera. Consequently, remote monitoring via smartphone is not supported.

Navigation is based on lidar, which is equipped with a spring-loaded cover to prevent the robot from getting stuck under furniture. The control panel has two mechanical buttons.

The dust container is located under the top cover. Next to it, you'll find a QR code for connecting the robot to a Wi-Fi network. It holds up to 330 ml of dry waste. The manufacturer allows you to rinse the container and filter with water. The filtration system uses a HEPA filter only. This model does have a water tank, but it's hidden within the body. Its capacity is approximately 80 ml. Water is pumped in automatically at the station.

The robot's underside is equipped with four anti-fall sensors and a carpet detection sensor. It has a single, dual-beam side brush secured with a screw. The updated design prevents hair and fur from becoming entangled, which will be tested.

The central brush unit is floating. The silicone turbo brush can be removed on both sides to remove tangled hair and pet hair. This is a plus.

And the napkins are the usual design, attached to the holders with Velcro. Unfortunately, the left napkin doesn't have a retractable mechanism. Therefore, there will be a blind spot between the edge of the napkin and the baseboard, the width of which I will verify in tests.

I'd like to point out that the wiper holders can automatically lift 10 mm when the robot enters carpets and returns to the station, or when moving to the cleaning area. This is a plus.

As for the station, the Roborock Qrevo L self-cleans from debris, washes the wipes with water at room temperature and dries with air, also without heating.

The robot's ramp and the tray where the wipes are washed are removable. This makes the station very convenient for maintenance.

The waste bag is located at the front, behind the lid. The water tanks are mounted on top and are quite capacious. The clean water tank holds 4 liters, while the dirty water tank holds 3.5 liters. Connecting the station to the sewer or water supply is still not possible.

Testing

A detailed video review of the Roborock Qrevo L, including all tests, has already been prepared and published on the channel:

Navigation

And finally, let's move on to the tests! First, we'll test the Roborock Qrevo L's navigation in a room with obstacles. When entering the room, the robot vacuum cleaner initially circled one table leg, then proceeded to navigate the perimeter. The mirror introduced an error in the map, which is common with lidar robots. The dryer legs presented a challenge; it struggled to navigate them for several minutes, but finally managed to do so. Afterwards, it cleaned the entire accessible area in a serpentine pattern. It also swept around the remaining table legs and the box, then returned to its base. Test successful!

Speaking of navigating around the home, the Roborock Qrevo L cleans room by room, first along the perimeter, then in a serpentine pattern. Every 15 minutes, as specified in the settings, the robot vacuum returns to the station and washes the cleaning pads, then returns to clean where it left off. There are no uncleaned areas, the cleaning speed is high, and this model has excellent navigation!

Passing under low furniture

The minimum height the robot can pass was also tested. Considering the robot itself is 9.7 cm tall, I created a 10 cm clearance under the furniture, and it fits through it without a problem. That's good!

Autonomy

I also tested the battery life when running the robot at maximum power with wet cleaning enabled. It lasted 116 minutes, cleaning 117 square meters of usable space. In reality, that's exactly three full cleanings of a two-bedroom apartment. However, I should note that there's a resume cleaning mode after charging at the base, so this model is capable of cleaning even more space. In my opinion, the robot's battery life is very good.

Identifying and avoiding obstacles

We'll also test the floor object detection system. For this, we placed various household items on the floor that could interfere with the cleaning process and even block the robot's brushes, causing it to malfunction.

So, in good lighting, the Roborock Qrevo L was able to avoid only two of the six objects: shoes and a stuffed animal. It moved or even chewed the other four. Of the four wires, the robot chewed one and moved the other three. Of the three socks, it avoided the black one and moved the other two. I marked all three as obstacles on the map. And of the six simulated pet surprises, it moved all six.

Overall, the object detection system is very weak and requires serious improvement. I didn't even bother testing it in the dark, given the results in good lighting.

Suction power

As for suction power, it actually proved to be strong. In Silent mode, the Roborock Qrevo L was able to clean debris well from a 2 mm gap and even partially from a 4 mm gap. In Balance and Turbo modes, it performed better in a 4 mm gap. In Maximum mode, the robot partially cleaned the 6 and 10 mm gaps, and in Max+ mode, it better handled gaps of 4, 6, and 10 mm, and was able to partially clean a 8 mm gap. So, this is a truly powerful robot vacuum, like most of its predecessors with a single silicone brush, which significantly reduces aerodynamic losses.

Dry cleaning of laminate flooring

Speaking of the quality of picking up debris of various textures on laminate flooring, it's good, but there are two caveats. First, the robot is unable to pick up large debris due to the small gap between the brush and the body. You can see that when the robot is lifted, some debris remains on the floor. Second, some debris remains in corners, which round robot vacuums can't reach. Incidentally, sweeping outer corners also leaves a small blind spot, which would be good to eliminate.

Regarding the condition of the cleaning module, we see that the turbo brush has picked up some hair and fur, but this debris is easily removed from the silicone brush. The side brush, however, is clean, which is precisely the advantage of the dual-beam design.

Anti-tangle Hair Protection

I also tested how the silicone turbo brush handles hair and fur removal. I laid hair of varying lengths on the floor. The robot collected them, and we saw that the turbo brush had tangled up the hair, but the side brush was clean again.

But in everyday life, a silicone brush practically does not tangle up fur and hair, and this is a plus.

Carpet cleaning

A variety of debris was scattered on a low-pile carpet, and the Roborock Qrevo L picked it up. However, it didn't remove the imitation dust within the pile, which clearly remained. On medium-pile carpets, it picked up most of the debris, but the brush didn't catch the cat food because there wasn't enough clearance.

In general, the robot is capable of cleaning carpets on the surface, but in this regard, the silicone brush is inferior to the bristle-petal brush.

Self-cleaning

Immediately after the "dirty tests," I checked how well the robot vacuum self-cleaned. I returned it to the station and started the self-cleaning process. The results were good. The dust bin was completely empty, so this robot's self-cleaning function is well-implemented!

Wet cleaning

The cleaning performance on slightly dried-on dirt is also excellent. The cloth presses firmly to the floor and absorbs dirt.

The only issue is that because the napkin didn't extend to the baseboard, there's a blind spot between the edge of the napkin and the wall. It's about 4 cm wide.

Moreover, the robot was able to remove even dried-on coffee and sauce stains. Granted, not on the first try. It took the sixth try, to be precise. But it was still up to the task. Many similar and predecessors in the line failed to achieve even this level of performance.

Wet cleaning and carpets

When it comes to wet cleaning on carpeted floors, the robot offers several different modes of interaction. Roborock Qrevo L can carefully navigate around carpets in wet cleaning mode, or it can enter and touch the carpet with its cleaning pad if you want to clean it with the robot. It can also clean carpets during wet cleaning, automatically lifting the cleaning pads when entering the carpet. The latter option is the most optimal.

Quality of washing and drying of napkins

I'd like to immediately talk about the effectiveness of the station itself. Let's start with the cleaning quality of the wipes. Even after extensive testing, the wipes look significantly better after washing at the station. Moreover, there's no need to heat the water during washing or add detergent. In a domestic setting, after washing the floor, the wipes rinse well at the station. A minimal amount of dirt is removed under the pressure of warm water. That's a plus.

I decided to test the wash temperature myself—in my case, the peak temperature in the drain area was 24.8 degrees. The water really wasn't getting hot.

Surprisingly, there's no heating during drying either—the sensor read 26.5 degrees. However, you can set the drying time to 10 hours in the settings, which is enough to dry your wipes.

The station's maintenance is convenient! We remove the drain and tray, rinse them in the sink, and put them back. As mentioned, the station is practical!

Obstacle clearance

The Roborock Qrevo L has excellent maneuverability. It can navigate even 2 cm thresholds while still picking up napkins. That's a plus!

Driving on black surfaces

And the robot navigates black carpets without a problem, just like its latest predecessors. That's a plus!

Noise level

I measured the noise level myself. It ranges from 58.5 to 67.5 dB, depending on the selected operating mode. It operates slightly quieter than its competitors. I also checked the station's noise level separately, and it's around 73 dB, which is also standard.

Personal opinion

The Roborock Qrevo L robot vacuum cleaner has been thoroughly reviewed and tested. According to our rating system, it scored 175 points, which is an intermediate result between the usual Qrevo And Qrevo S V overall ranking of robotic vacuum cleanersI'll highlight the pros and cons of the robot vacuum cleaner in question, and then share my opinion.

I liked the following:

1. In reality, high suction power.
2. Availability of a station for self-cleaning the dust collector, washing and drying napkins.
3. Spacious tanks at the station.
4. The station design is easy to maintain.
5. Good navigation.
6. Good autonomy at maximum power.
7. The silicone turbo brush makes it easier to clean hair and fur.
8. The updated design of the side brush does not tangle hair.
9. Improved lifting of wipers when driving onto carpets.
10. High-quality dry and wet cleaning.
11. A large number of functions in the application.
12. The robot vacuum cleaner is not afraid of black surfaces.
13. Good cross-country ability.
14. High-quality assembly and high brand authority.
15. Availability of a full warranty and service support.

As for the shortcomings, I would like to highlight the following comments:

1. The item identification system requires serious revision.
2. There remains a narrow unwashed area along the baseboard, since the napkin does not extend to the edge.
3. There is no heating of water when washing napkins.
4. There is no heating of the air when drying napkins.
5. Doesn't sweep out debris in the corners.
6. There is no active camera for remote home monitoring.
7. The station cannot be connected to the sewerage and water supply.
8. There is no automatic addition of detergent to the stations.

Overall, most of the criticisms are typical for this price segment. The first four are the most important for me, but if the robot were priced closer to $400, even these would be forgivable. It wasn't meant to be a flagship, and is more of an intermediate solution between the regular Qrevo and the Qrevo S.

In any case, it definitely makes sense to buy, given its high real-world power, flexible cleaning settings, competitive price for a robot with an all-in-one station, and the fact that it's the brainchild of the reputable Roborock brand. Furthermore, its cleaning performance will definitely satisfy those who don't mind narrow baseboard areas or small, unswept corners.

On that note, I'd like to end this review. If you have any questions, please ask them in the comments. Happy shopping, everyone. Bye!
