Roborock Qrevo Grasp: two-minute evaluate
Initially launched in Might 2024, the Roborock Qrevo Grasp is a high-end robotic vacuum and mop that produces a powerful mix of energy, intelligence and comfort. Boasting 10,000Pa suction, twin rubber rollers and versatile facet brush, the Qrevo Grasp successfully tackles mud, particles and pet hair on a wide range of surfaces, whereas its twin spinning mops and constant downward strain guarantee a really first rate degree of onerous ground cleansing and lightweight stain removing.
Navigation is at all times a key standout function amongst Roborock fashions and this one’s no totally different. The Qrevo Grasp’s LiDAR mapping and AI-powered impediment avoidance permits the bot to maneuver round furnishings and most bigger family objects. Nevertheless, in terms of small impediment avoidance there are extra environment friendly fashions on the market that carry out higher on this regard.
The Qrevo Grasp’s self-maintaining dock, in the meantime, provides an additional layer of comfort, robotically emptying the dustbin, refilling the robotic’s water tank and washing and drying the 2 mop pads. For these looking for a premium, low-maintenance ground cleansing answer, the Qrevo Grasp is a superb alternative, and holds its personal towards the best robot vacuums available on the market, regardless of not being the very latest mannequin out. Learn on for my full Roborock Qrevo Grasp evaluate.
Roborock Qrevo Grasp evaluate: value & availability
- Record value: $1,599 / £1,199 / AU$2,199 (repeatedly discounted in all territories)
- Launched: Might 2024
At checklist value, the Roborock Qrevo Grasp prices $1,599 within the US (though at time of writing, it was right down to $899.99, which is the sort of value it’s best to anticipate to really pay for this mannequin). Within the UK it is £1,199, however once more it’s best to anticipate to not have to really pay that – at time of writing it is right down to £799.99. In Australia, the checklist value is AU$2,699 but it surely’s presently discounted to AU$2,199.
Even at these discounted costs, it is nonetheless a premium robotic vacuum. Nevertheless, it is from the costliest mannequin available on the market – most manufacturers’ latest flagship fashions are effectively into the 4 figures within the US and UK.
At time of writing the Qrevo Grasp remains to be a comparatively new mannequin – it launched Might 2024. Nevertheless, the world of robovacs strikes quick, and there are actually a number of newer bots within the Roborock vary. It occupies a spot someplace in the midst of the Qrevo lineup, between the fundamental and budget-friendly Qrevo Q5 Pro+ and the costly however glorious Qrevo Curv. The newest choices to hitch the lineup are the Saros 10 and Saros 10R, each of which price way over the Qrevo Grasp and introduce some cool (if not wholly important) new tech.
Whereas not one of the best or most superior robotic vacuum within the Roborock lineup, the Qrevo grasp remains to be a mighty superb possibility that delivers on many fronts, not least its glorious navigation and vacuuming abilities.
Whereas there are different sterling robotic vac producers on the market – particularly Dreame, Eufy and Narwal – I personally at all times gravitate to the Roborock model just because the Chinese language firm’s merchandise are so dependable and often forward of the curve. The place Roborock goes, others comply with.
Is the Qrevo Grasp good worth? I would say it kind of is given that almost all robotic vacs with this degree of smarts retail for across the identical value. Nonetheless, there are some excellent cheaper choices round if the place to look. (Within the UK, the exceptional Xiaomi X20+ performs virtually in addition to the Qrevo Grasp for round £500 much less – it is the best budget robot vacuum I’ve examined, by some margin).

Roborock Qrevo Grasp evaluate: design
- Barely primary trying hybrid bot, and somewhat on the tall facet
- Twin rubber brush rollers and rotating mop pads
- Complete dock, together with mop cleansing and drying
I suppose I have been spoiled by the clear Scandinavian-style design aesthetics of Roborock’s newest premium fashions, the Saros 10 and 10R, as a result of the Qrevo Grasp’s robotic unit seems a bit quaint with its massive, plastic LiDAR unit and outsized bumpers. At 10.3cm in top, it is also fairly tall which implies it can have bother passing beneath some low-slung furnishings.
Roborock’s newer (pricier) robots outshine the Qrevo Grasp on this space – the Saros 10 has a puck that may pop up and down, and the Qrevo Slim and Saros 10R haven’t got a puck in any respect. All look considerably slicker and extra trendy than the Qrevo Grasp.
I am not too enamored of the medical white colour scheme of my evaluate mannequin – I a lot desire the again model that seems within the studio photographs on this evaluate.
Let’s deal with this mannequin’s navigation system first. Like all the perfect robots, the Qrevo Grasp makes use of LiDAR and an RGB digicam to search out its manner round a house, and its accuracy is second to none. In actual fact you may see the outcomes throughout its very first mapping run in actual time on the Roborock app. The RGB digicam can be used to observe a room by driving the robotic round like a distant managed automotive.
Nevertheless, whereas the Qrevo Grasp’s massive impediment avoidance (furnishings legs, and many others) is above par – its Reactive AI software program can establish and keep away from 62 objects throughout 20 classes – its impediment detection is not as exact as the corporate’s very newest navigation programs. In spite of everything, at present’s know-how strikes at such a tempo that one thing thought of groundbreaking a number of months earlier could be very quickly outmoded by one other that is lightyears forward.
You do get a really first rate tranche of vacuuming tech with this unit, together with very efficient twin rubber brush rollers with an anti-tangling gadget and an robotically extendable facet brush that pops out in corners of a room. This mannequin boasts 10,000Pa which is in need of its higher-end stablemates however nonetheless completely acceptable for virtually all cleansing situations, bar maybe very deep pile carpet.
There are 5 ranges of energy to select from – Quiet, Balanced, Turbo, Max and MAX+. Because the robotic’s battery is greater than as much as the duty of vacuuming a big area (it has a operating time of about 60 minutes in Max mode) , I’d at all times go for Max or MAX+ as a result of, effectively, why would not you?
On the mopping entrance this mannequin comes with two round toweling pads and, like many present high-end fashions, one of many mopping pads may also prolong outwards to wash alongside skirting boards and round furnishings legs. Each mops are pushed into the ground whereas they spin at 200rpm, giving any onerous ground a great seeing to. This model mop tends to do a simpler scrubbing job than the static D-shaped pad nonetheless discovered on many robotic vacuums – even the high-end fashions.
The mops themselves are pre-dampened by a small onboard 80ml water tank that’s in flip crammed within the dock simply earlier than going out on a mopping run. You’ll be able to choose as much as 30 ranges of water circulation within the glorious Roborock app.
In fact, one would not need any damp mops operating slipshod over one’s beautiful carpets so the mops on this mannequin raise by a number of centimeters each time the bot is traversing carpets or rugs. Likewise, its vacuum brush rollers additionally stand up each time the robotic is mopping or returning to base.
Dock design
At 521 x 340 x 487mm, the Qrevo Grasp’s dock is significantly taller than a lot of its friends and which means it is going to be tougher to place with out it being too conspicuous. In actual fact this dock shares some design aesthetics with the Dreame L40 Ultra I reviewed some time again, together with a really related trying mud bag cowl. However fortunately Roborock steered away from giving it any tasteless gold coloured particulars.
It isn’t probably the most disagreeable trying dock I’ve seen, however in comparison with the beautiful mirrored end Roborock has utilized to its Saros vary, it definitely may do with a little bit of a facelift. Fortunately the black possibility would not look fairly as ungainly as a result of, effectively, it is black and subsequently much less noticeable in a room stuffed with picket furnishings.
Like all good up to date hybrid robotic cleaners, the Qrevo Grasp’s dock provides a completely automated upkeep system that empties the contents of the robotic’s small inner 220ml bin into the dock’s bigger 2.2-liter mud bag each time it has completed a vacuum session. Having a robotic with a self-emptying function is an absolute should, particularly you probably have shedding pets within the residence. With out one you have to to repeatedly empty the robotic’s tiny bin your self, typically midway via a cleansing session and, imagine me, that is no enjoyable.
Since this mannequin additionally moist mops onerous flooring, it comes outfitted with a mop cleansing facility that washes each mops with scorching water at 60C to interrupt down grime and micro organism. Other than emptying the mucky contents of the three.5-litre soiled water tank, filling the 4-liter contemporary water container, and really sometimes eradicating your entire mopping tray from the dock to rinse and scrub it beneath faucet, there’s little or no human interjection required with this machine.
Roborock Qrevo Grasp evaluate: efficiency
- Superb vacuuming and mopping efficiency
- Dependable LiDAR navigation however poor impediment avoidance
- Efficient dock with minimal human interplay wanted
This robotic vacuum does a whole lot of various things, so to maintain all the things clear, I’ve separated this part into a variety of various efficiency parts. I am going to begin with navigation efficiency, then transfer on to impediment avoidance. Subsequent I am going to get into vacuuming and mopping efficiency and eventually I am going to cowl how effectively the dock held up throughout testing.
Navigation efficiency
High marks as common to Roborock for this bot’s navigation prowess. From the second you set all of it up – a breeze, it should be stated – the bot trundles off with out getting misplaced and shortly maps your whole ground plan in about 5 minutes. It then returns to its charging station and proceeds to dock as precisely as a spaceship.
I’ve since positioned the Qrevo Grasp in our village corridor – an especially demanding 127 sq. metres of wooden floors – and the Qrevo Grasp has by no means as soon as misplaced its manner or missed a bit. Typically very massive areas with plenty of reflective home windows can have an effect on a robotic vac’s LiDAR navigation efficiency and this often manifests itself as a wierd anomaly on the app’s map interface the place the room is mysteriously multiplied in measurement. This occurred on a few events with the Dreame L40 Extremely. Against this, the Qrevo Grasp’s complicated three-room map hasn’t altered in any respect in three weeks of standard use.
Impediment avoidance
That is the one take a look at the place the Qrevo Grasp confirmed its Achilles Heel. For my take a look at I used a set of small and enormous canine toys, plus a telephone cable. At first the Qrevo Grasp merely steamrollered even among the bigger toys. Activating the ‘Pet’ setting within the Reactive Impediment avoidance menu within the app makes an enormous distinction to Roborock bots’ detection abilities, however I double-checked and I had certainly already chosen this selection.
I then ran the take a look at once more and, for some weird motive, it behaved somewhat bit higher – as if it was going via a studying course of. Nonetheless, just like the overwhelming majority of bots I’ve examined, it ran proper over the small nylon canine bone and did not extricate itself. And, whereas it at first appeared to keep away from the cost cable, it quickly modified its thoughts and easily ran over it after which dragged it across the rug.
It is troublesome to inform why this mannequin had such points with impediment avoidance, however in its protection, its day-to-day schedules have at all times gone with no hitch – when it has encountered a stray canine toy, it is merely pushed them to the facet when not actively avoiding them. Nevertheless, I agree that this isn’t ultimate given the price of the machine within the first place.
Therefore, you probably have a messy residence with small objects littering the ground, you would be higher off with the Roborock Qrevo Curv, the newer Roborock Saros 10R or the Dreame L40 Ultra. All three of those bots excel at impediment avoidance.
Vacuum efficiency
For my onerous ground take a look at I measured 22 grams of oats, raw orzo, cornflakes, flour and a crushed cheese cracker. I then set a cleansing zone within the kitchen and commanded the robotic to carry out two passes utilizing Max energy. Whereas among the particles was scattered by the spinning facet brush (a standard prevalence with all robotic vacs), it typically carried out extraordinarily effectively, amassing 21g when measured on the scales.
Picture 1 of 2
Granted, a number of remnants of oats remained and a few flour was left within the cracks however this was simply mounted through the use of a regular stick vac to complete the job. Whereas not as profitable as, say, the Roborock Saros 10R or Dreame L40, the Qrevo Grasp nonetheless proved to be very adept at onerous ground sweeping.
I then arrange the same medium-pile rug take a look at utilizing the identical 22g of elements. This take a look at produced glorious outcomes, with 22g again on the scales. Nevertheless, it had additionally collected some additional pet hair and mud within the course of so I’d say pickup was nearer to 21g. That is a wonderful end result in my view. Better of all, I could not see any remnants on the rug from head top – and that is about as a lot as anybody may want for.
Mopping efficiency
I am not an enormous fan of robotic vacs that additionally mop as a result of I do not imagine any of them are able to changing a human’s means to deeply wash a tough ground or goal a selected space utilizing both an quaint mop and bucket or a kind of newfangled wet-and-dry cordless mops which might be doing the rounds.
As an example, I’d by no means think about going via the rigmarole of sending a robotic mop to take care of an unintended spill after I can get the job achieved in a fraction of the time. Nevertheless, I can see robotic mops being helpful at holding on high of a pre-cleaned ground if programmed to run a collection of standard mopping schedules.
Since this mannequin makes use of two round spinning mop pads, I knew earlier than even beginning my take a look at that it could be environment friendly sufficient for a cross. And certain sufficient it mopped up all traces of the milk and soy sauce combine I spilled on the ground – in a single sweep no much less. It even continued to maneuver over the identical spot a lot of instances, only for good measure. Nevertheless, like most robotic mops I’ve examined, it did depart a barely sticky however invisible residue behind after the ground had dried. After the cleansing take a look at, the robotic duly returned to its dock to have the mops cleaned and dried utilizing scorching air to assist preserve mildew at bay.
Dock efficiency
Since I’ve two Labradors and three cats, my house is at all times filled with hair. In actual fact, I usually discover odd strands of Labrador hair in probably the most shocking locations. As a consequence of all this hair, some robotic vac docks I’ve examined have develop into blocked resulting from an extreme quantity of hair stuffed into the robots’ tiny bins.
If the dock’s suction is not highly effective sufficient, likelihood is a bundle of hair will block the air consumption, both the place the robotic meets with the dock’s suction tube or, greater than probably, on the finish of its journey the place the suction tube connects with the dock’s mud bag. This type of anomaly is well rectifiable but in addition unnecessarily messy, particularly given the truth that you purchase a robotic vac to do all of the graft so you do not have to.
Effectively I am happy to say that the Qrevo Grasp’s dock suction ranges are simply excessive sufficient to attract all the things out of the robotic’s bin and into the dock’s massive 2.2-liter disposable mud bag with no points by any means. (I would fee it amongst the best robot vacuums for pet hair on this regard.) In actual fact, the dock’s suction was highly effective sufficient to attract a heavy snooker cue tip into the mud bag, and never many robotic docks are able to that degree of suction.
As a postscript, I ought to add that this robotic has been employed full-time in our village corridor for a number of weeks now, and the corridor’s essential ground, its kitchen and bathroom space have by no means regarded cleaner. The Qrevo Grasp vacuums this monumental 127 sq. metre area 3 times per week and mops it twice per week. At no time has it ever obtained caught in 5 weeks of standard use. It deftly vacuums your entire corridor (even beneath a pile of chairs in a single nook), retains the corridor’s loos spick and span and stays on high of any kitchen mess. This simply goes to show that robotic vacs – and mops – are simply as appropriate for business use as they’re for home settings.
- Efficiency rating: 4.5 out of 5
Roborock Qrevo Grasp evaluate: app
- Extremely customizable
- Straightforward to navigate
- Extraordinarily complete
I’ve stated it earlier than and I am going to say it once more – proper now there isn’t a higher robotic vac app for sheer comprehensiveness and ease of use than Roborock’s. This app has all of it, from scheduling and particular zone duties, to a myriad of deep customization tweaks. That features altering the period of time the bot returns to the dock to have its dustbin emptied, enhancing the room floor and path of wooden floors, including no-go zones, even including furnishings icons to the map so it seems like one thing out of the Sims.
Picture 1 of 2
One other wonderful thing about this app is which you could programme a set of ‘Routines’ like ‘vacuum the lounge’ or ‘mop the kitchen’ and save all of them on the house display for immediate entry. Roborock’s tech bods left no stone unturned when growing this app and the outcomes converse for themselves.

How I examined the Roborock Qrevo Grasp
I lived with the Qrevo Grasp for a number of weeks to get an actual really feel for its efficiency. I additionally TechRadar’s commonplace robotic vacuum checks to evaluate efficiency.
The very first thing we’re in search of is total suction efficiency on totally different ground sorts. For this, I spilled a choice of free elements on each onerous flooring and carpet and noticed the outcomes. Did the robotic sweep all of it up in a single sweep or did it snowplough all the things? Did it scatter the elements within the course of? Did it depart something behind after a number of passes? I then ran related checks utilizing liquids, to check this hybrid robotic’s mopping effectivity.
Other than efficiency, I additionally regarded on the design of the robotic and self-emptying dock, examined the effectiveness of its impediment avoidance, and thought of how shortly it mapped my residence’s ground plan when first taking it out of the field. I hung out digging into its app to see how intensive and usable it’s, and if any enhancements may very well be made.
