Unboxing and Accessories
The entire unit comes in a sizable cardboard box (with several smaller boxes inside). A paper manual, visible immediately upon opening, greatly simplifies the unboxing and setup process (as well as re-packaging, should it be needed).
The main components of the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro set are the robot itself and its docking station, where it parks and undergoes self-maintenance. These two elements warrant a more detailed description later. For now, let’s focus on the other items in the package.
The box includes a paper manual, a base attachment for the docking station, a power cable, and the circular mopping pads. What was notably missing was any spare consumables or a starter bottle of detergent – typically, high-end models offer a more generous array of additional accessories.
Main Components of the Set
As is typical for this product category, the set features a circular robot that docks in its charging and cleaning station when not in operation. The overall design is aesthetically pleasing and blends fairly well with modern living room furniture, though some competing products offer a more “premium” visual presence.
Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro Robot: Design and Features
Let’s start with the robot itself, which resembles a white, circular disc. However, the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro’s design holds some surprises. Most notably, its slim body, standing at just 7.98 cm (3.14 inches) tall, makes it one of the lowest-profile models on the market equipped with a full LiDAR system. It utilizes a retractable LDS (LiDAR Distance Sensor) module, called RetractSense, which tucks into the robot’s body when cleaning under furniture and then raises to provide full 360° scanning when in open areas.
The robot sports a classic, minimalist casing, featuring a distinct sensor “circle” on top, two physical buttons, and subtle body contours that visually complement both the docking station and modern interiors. Removing the top panel reveals access to the dirt bin (with a replaceable filter) and a QR code, which simplifies the robot’s pairing process with your smartphone.
The sides house a typical array of sensors and cameras, enhancing the robot’s ability to navigate your home, maneuver between furniture, and clean effectively. It also features lighting to assist the robot in navigating regardless of ambient light conditions.
From the underside, we can observe the set of wheels, brushes, and mops responsible for movement, vacuuming, and mopping floors. Notably, these components can not only lift and lower (mops, brushes) as needed, but the robot also boasts an improved AdaptiLift chassis. This means the robot can intelligently adjust its body height to clean carpets more effectively, traverse thresholds, and navigate around U-shaped furniture legs.
Starting with the most mobile elements, we have the arc-shaped FlexiArm side brush and a mechanism that allows one of the mopping pads to extend outwards. This design significantly enhances the robot’s ability to clean effectively along edges and in corners.
The DuoDivide brush is the second component of the anti-tangle system. It consists of two specially shaped brushes that effectively draw hair inwards, handling both cat fur and hair up to 40 cm (15.7 inches) long without issues.
Hygiene 3.0 Docking Station: Design, Ergonomics, and Operation
The Hygiene 3.0 docking station is relatively compact (especially compared to models like the Dreame L20 Ultra) and remarkably versatile. Beyond simply docking and charging the robot, it automatically empties its dustbin, washes the mops with hot water, dries them with warm air, self-cleans the station’s tray with hot water, and automatically dispenses detergent for mopping.
Regarding its visual appeal, opinions are divided. While the base isn’t excessively large, it can be quite noticeable in smaller rooms. Furthermore, the top-loading water tanks, which aren’t discreetly hidden, contribute to a somewhat utilitarian “white tower” aesthetic. In this regard, the Roborock falls short compared to more aesthetically integrated options like the Roomba Max 705 Combo or Combo 10 Max.
The docking station is a solid white block, typically featuring a recessed area at the bottom for the robot to park, along with a drip tray that can be easily removed and cleaned when necessary. The upper section houses the clean and dirty water tanks. While not exceptionally large, the robot did not appear to consume water excessively during operation.
The final section is hidden behind the front panel. Once removed, it provides access to the dust bag and a sizable detergent tank, which is convenient to refill. It’s a minor disappointment that the manufacturer didn’t include a sample of cleaning solution in the package.
The sides of the base are unremarkable, while the rear panel features a recess for the power plug and a channel for cable management.
Vacuuming Performance: Carpets and Hard Floors
Roborock has a long-standing reputation for producing robot vacuums that simply clean well, and the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro unequivocally continues this tradition. Its effectiveness isn’t limited to hard floors, where many lower-priced robots also perform adequately. Where Roborock truly excels and surpasses competitors is in its ability to handle carpets and the messes left behind by furry pets – performing significantly better than other robots I’ve used previously.
First, the robot efficiently and quickly mapped the apartment. While the map required some minor adjustments in the app, the robot never lost its orientation, got lost, or failed to return to its base during subsequent cleaning sessions. It navigated without bumping into furniture or walls, effectively cleaned the more challenging area around the cat litter box, and seamlessly vacuumed under furniture and sofas, retracting its LiDAR turret when necessary (even when fitting in with minimal clearance).
The robot delivers sufficient power to clean all types of surfaces in my home. It effectively extracted flour and salt from between tiles and efficiently collected debris such as sand from shoes or litter from the litter box on laminate panels. It handled dust and crumbs on hard floors exceptionally well, navigating between furniture and effectively reaching corners. Its performance on carpets was also excellent, capable of thoroughly vacuuming, at least on short-pile carpets. The manufacturer highlights its AdaptiLift solution, an adaptive chassis system that adjusts the robot’s body height relative to the floor to maintain optimal suction power on carpets.
The AdaptiLift system goes further, utilizing independently adjustable wheels: the left and right main wheels, and omnidirectional wheels. This allows it to not only lift the entire chassis but also raise only the front, rear, left, or right side. Consequently, it can climb over small thresholds up to 4 cm (1.57 inches), navigate onto thicker carpets, and skillfully maneuver around furniture legs.
If you’re concerned about your carpets getting wet from the mops during operation, rest assured that this is not an issue. The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro can either leave its mops in the base before starting to vacuum carpets or will lift the mops sufficiently high during cleaning, ensuring the carpet remains dry.
Regarding vacuuming, another significant advantage is the effective anti-hair tangle system. It comprises two elements: the FlexiArm side brush, which directs debris towards the suction channel, and the main DuoDivide brush. The DuoDivide brush is essentially a set of two rollers that rotate at different speeds, capturing hair and guiding it into the dirt bin. This system is so effective that I never once had to remove tangled hair or fur from the brush ends, a stark contrast to my personal, albeit older, Dreame robot.
Cleaning Under Low-Profile Furniture
I own several pieces of furniture that are high enough for dirt to accumulate underneath, yet low enough to be inaccessible to most robot vacuums I’ve tested. However, the Roborock pleasantly surprised me by reaching areas where other robots couldn’t.
The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro utilizes the RetractSense navigation system, which combines classic LiDAR with a dToF sensor and a contact sensor (detecting furniture directly above the robot). This allows the robot to retract its LiDAR turret to fit under sofas or cabinets (where the minimum clearance is approximately 8–8.5 cm or 3.15–3.35 inches). Once it exits, the turret automatically rises again, ensuring a full map of its surroundings. According to the manufacturer, the LDS mechanism has been tested for over 10,000 lift and lower cycles. The robot can also illuminate the cleaning area if needed.
Obstacle Avoidance Performance
It’s also worth noting the obstacle avoidance performance of the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro. It employs intelligent Reactive AI system solutions with an RGB camera and side VertiBeam lasers, which measure the distance to obstacles on the robot’s sides. According to manufacturer data, the robot can recognize over 200 types of objects, ranging from 5 cm (approx. 2 inches) in width and 3 cm (approx. 1.2 inches) in height.
Indeed, larger obstacles like shoes, a cat bowl, headphones, or bigger toys posed no issue. However, smaller items such as crayons, LEGO bricks, or other small debris on the floor were sometimes missed. These types of items could get stuck between the brushes, or I would have to remove them from the dirt bin before the robot emptied itself at the station. In practice, however, it can be concluded that for everyday use, it will effortlessly avoid most typical household obstacles.
Mopping Effectiveness
How effective is the mopping? Some prefer roller mops in robot vacuums, but I find rotating pads to be more effective (at least on my floors). The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro utilizes two such rotating mops, which apply up to 12 N of pressure to the floor and spin at approximately 200 revolutions per minute.
Hot water mop cleaning is a feature that shouldn’t be missing from high-end robots, and I also appreciate the function to re-mop heavily soiled areas. The robot identifies these areas by analyzing the dirtiness of the water in the station, allowing it to tackle even dried, more stubborn stains from coffee or juice.
I prepared a mixture of coffee, apple juice, and borscht (partially dried, partially liquid) for it – and it handled it perfectly, even after a single pass. It’s worth noting that larger, freshly spilled liquids are best cleaned manually; otherwise, you’ll be left cleaning the underside of the robot.
Smart Features and Roborock Application
The robot quickly and flawlessly paired with the Roborock app installed on my iPhone. Using the product naturally begins with map creation, which was generated quite fast, though it required a few adjustments. Map editing includes dividing rooms, multi-floor mapping, setting no-go zones, virtual walls, and more. Additionally, you can adjust suction power and water volume for each room, set cleaning schedules, and define spot cleaning areas.
The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro also includes smart functions, referred to as SmartPlan 3.0. This system analyzes room type, floor material, and cleaning history to determine the optimal cleaning sequence, mode, and intensity. Essentially, it learns over time how to clean better and more efficiently.
Furthermore, the robot supports voice control via its built-in “Hello Rocky” assistant, which operates offline. It also integrates with Alexa, Siri Shortcuts, Google Home, and the Matter protocol, allowing it to be incorporated into broader smart home scenarios. The device also offers a taste of home monitoring with real-time video connectivity and “lifestyle” features like locating pets on the map and taking their photos during cleaning.
User Comfort and Maintenance
True to an autonomous device, the Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro requires minimal attention once properly configured in the app. Its operation is managed through the application (I relied on the smart mode, specifying cleaning spots, and a regular schedule). Maintenance primarily involves periodically emptying the dust bag, refilling detergent, and changing water: topping up the clean water tank and emptying the dirty one.
Occasionally, you might want to wipe down the base, but most laborious tasks like mop rinsing, drying, and tray cleaning are performed automatically by the station. The Roborock will appeal to those who prioritize hygiene, offering features like automatic mop washing with water up to 100°C (212°F), warm air drying for the mop and tray, and even drying the dust bag to prevent potential mold.
The robot is not exceptionally loud. You will certainly hear it when it empties the dustbin from the robot, but during mop washing, you won’t experience gurgling or splashing sounds from the station. The Qrevo Edge 2 Pro is relatively quiet in standard cleaning modes, though, of course, in maximum suction mode, its loudness is noticeable enough to drown out a television.
