Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro Review: Strong $800 Budget Vacuum With Corner-Cleaning Edge

WIRED tested the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro, a robot vacuum launched at the end of August and priced at $800, though it has already been discounted to $500. After roughly two weeks of use, the reviewer ranked it among their favorite sub-$1,000 robot vacuums, crediting its edge cleaning and power as a rival to the Eufy Omni C28. The unit carries a 20,000 Pa digital motor, 200 RPM mop-pad rotation, LiDAR navigation, a FlexiArm mop, Matter support, and an AI-powered SmartPlan mode. Its FlexiArm mop and reversible side brush dislodged debris along walls and furniture, clearing two of three Cheerios in a corner test beside the fridge, a near-perfect result the reviewer has not seen matched. The 3.8-inch body slides under kitchen counter toe kicks. Carpet and rug suction performed well, particularly on pet hair, though long human hair collected into a ball near a bed corner. The low-profile base station holds clean and dirty water tanks, self-cleans at 149 degrees Fahrenheit, and dries mop pads with 113-degree air. Noise stayed low enough to work in the same room, especially in mop mode. Weaknesses included a sticky spill test that required two passes, debris left behind on certain floor-to-carpet thresholds, and poor detection of cords, cat toys, and a loose tissue, which it shredded across a high-pile rug. It freed itself from low table legs unaided. The reviewer recommends it for daily cleans and expects it to enter WIRED's best robot vacuums guide as a runner-up budget option.
