It’s time for spring cleaning, and if you’re currently looking at dirty floors, you might consider offloading some of that work to a robot. Our favorite robot vacuum and mop is currently on sale for $500, a full $300 off its normal list price, the lowest price yet for this relatively new and well-equipped device.
Added to the midrange Qrevo line in late 2024, the Roborock Qrevo S boasts a modest suction power and wet mopping function. It has both bin emptying and mop washing, making cleanup and maintenance a breeze. We found it to be reliable and highly functional in our testing, and like other Roborock vacuums, it should hold up well with age.
Rather than relying on cameras, which can have security and privacy implications, the Qrevo S uses only lidar navigation. That means it can find walls and objects without accidentally snapping a photo of you doing something embarrassing.
Like other Roborock vacuums, the Qrevo S has an AI-assisted feature called SmartPlan. This setup allows the vacuum to make decisions about which mode to use as it moves through your home. Our reviewer Adrienne So was impressed with its ability to order these correctly and avoid dragging wet mopheads across your carpet. Even better, it can save up to four maps, allowing you to manually move it around and have it cover a much larger area than if you just expected it to make it back to the base station.
I’m not sure how long this deal will last, so I’d recommend heading to Amazon sooner than later if your carpets aren’t looking so fresh. If the Qrevo S doesn’t sound like quite the right fit, we have a house full of our favorite robot vacuums and mops, or you can take matters into your own hands with our rundown of the best cordless vacuums.
