Roborock’s Qrevo 2 Pro impresses WIRED as a budget robot vacuum
WIRED found the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro strong on corners, navigation, carpets and cat hair, but less effective with sticky spills, thresholds and small objects.
Roborock’s Qrevo 2 Pro has emerged as a strong budget robot vacuum in WIRED’s review, particularly for corner cleaning and navigating a home. The model launched in late August at US$800 and has reportedly been seen on sale for US$500.
The Qrevo 2 Pro includes 20,000 Pa suction, LiDAR navigation, a FlexiArm mop, a reversible side brush, Matter support and an AI-powered SmartPlan. WIRED said the FlexiArm mop and side brush worked together effectively around furniture and wall edges, although the vacuum missed one of three Cheerios in a corner test.
The vacuum performed well on carpets and rugs, with WIRED finding it especially effective at removing cat hair. Its 3.8-inch design also allowed it to clean beneath many kitchen counter toe kicks. The review found it relatively quiet during mopping, while vacuuming was louder on carpets and rugs.
Its limitations were most apparent with sticky spills, which required two passes, and at some thresholds where debris was left behind, particularly between hard floors and carpet. WIRED recommended spot-cleaning sticky areas rather than relying on a whole-home cycle to handle them.
The vacuum also struggled to identify smaller objects. It attempted to suction a cord, carried a cat toy around a room and shredded a tissue on a high-pile rug. WIRED said users should clear small items before starting a run, even though the robot handled larger obstacles and could lift itself away from some low table legs.
After roughly two weeks of testing, WIRED said the Qrevo 2 Pro was better suited to daily cleaning than deep cleaning and planned to add it as a runner-up budget recommendation alongside the Eufy Omni C28. The review noted that the SmartPlan had not yet shown a clear advantage over a regular cycle, while longer-term performance remained uncertain.
