Roborock Qrevo Curv S5X Robot Vacuum with Multifunctional Dock 3.0

Roborock states the Curv S5X and the Edge S5A are the same robot with different dock designs; the S5X gets the curved dock plus three dust bags and a spare DuoDivide main brush in the box. Compared with the full Qrevo Curv, the S5X keeps the 18,500 Pa suction and anti-tangle brushes but navigates with LiDAR and structured light only, so there is no camera, video call, or built-in voice assistant; it uses a 5,200 mAh battery, crosses thresholds up to 2 cm rather than 4 cm, and lifts its mops but not the main brush. In return it stands 9.79 cm (3.9 in) tall, lower than the Curv.

The DuoDivide main brush splits hair between two short rollers and drives it to the dustbin, and Roborock states it is certified by SGS with a 0 percent hair entanglement rate and 100 percent hair removal rate; the FlexiArm arc side brush resists wrap at the edges. On carpet the robot retracts the mop cloth mounts so rugs are vacuumed dry, Carpet Boost+ runs a cross-pattern double pass, and you can mark any rug as a no-go zone in the app. Very dark or shag carpet can still be read as a drop by the cliff sensors.

The dock washes the pads with 167 F (75 C) hot water, with three water temperature settings and four wash modes, dries them with 113 F (45 C) warm air for 2, 3, or 4 hours, empties the dustbin into a bag that lasts up to 7 weeks, and refills the robot's tank from a 4 L clean water tank while collecting waste in a 3 L dirty water tank. Rotating scrapers and hot water clean the dock base automatically, and the base detaches for a rinse. When dirt detection finds a stubborn patch and re-mopping is enabled in the app, the robot returns to wash the pads and mops that area again.

The Qrevo Curv S5X connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only; 5 GHz is not supported, so on a dual-band router join the 2.4 GHz network by name. Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri Shortcuts, and Google Home are supported once the robot is linked in the Roborock app; for Alexa, enable the Roborock Plus skill, sign in with your Roborock account, and run Discover Devices. If pairing fails, check the password, allow location and local network permissions for the app, turn off any VPN or cellular data, select your home network rather than the robot's own hotspot, and avoid WEP security or special characters in the network name. There is no built-in voice assistant on this model, so voice control goes through those services.

The mops are only washed if they were used, and the robot only returns for a mid-run wash when it started from the dock and the dock appears on the app map. Auto-emptying and auto-drying each have to be enabled in the app, emptying skips when the dust container cover is off, and drying ends early if the robot leaves the dock. Weak emptying usually means the main brushes or brush cover are not seated or the filter, air duct, or bag is blocked; the robot will not resume a paused job during Do Not Disturb (22:00 to 08:00 by default) or if you placed it on the dock by hand.

Clean the main brush every 2 weeks and replace it every 6 to 12 months; clean the side brush monthly and replace it every 3 to 6 months; rinse the washable filter every 2 weeks and replace it every 6 to 12 months; wash the mop cloths as needed and replace them every 1 to 3 months. Change the dust bag when it is full and rinse the cleaning tray and charging contacts as needed. Use only cold water and Roborock cleaning solution in the tank, never disinfectant, and run the robot between 39 and 104 F (4 to 40 C).

Put the curved dock on a hard, level floor against a wall with at least 0.9 m (2.96 ft) of height, 0.46 m (1.51 ft) of width, and 1.2 m (3.94 ft) of depth kept clear; no plumbing is needed. Roborock lists obstacles near the dock as the usual reason the robot cannot return, so clear them or move the dock to an open area and place the robot closer if it is far away. Wipe the signal window on the dock and the robot's front sensor, and if the robot will not charge, check both ends of the power cord and clean the charging contacts.

The robot, the Multifunctional Dock, three disposable dust bags, an additional DuoDivide main brush, the mopping module, the power cord, and the user manual. The robot weighs 8.8 lbs and the dock 21.8 lbs; the dock measures 17.7 x 17.7 x 17.7 inches.

Roborock lists noise as low as 55 dB in quiet mop-only mode. Charging is rated 30 percent faster than the prior generation, and off-peak charging in the app can shift recharging to cheaper hours; the robot recharges and resumes if a large floor needs more than one charge, except during Do Not Disturb or after being placed on the dock by hand.
