Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A Robot Vacuum with Multifunctional Dock 3.0

Both deliver up to 18,500 Pa HyperForce suction with the same DuoDivide and FlexiArm anti-tangle brushes, but the S5A navigates with LiDAR and structured light only, so there is no RGB camera, no video call, and no built-in voice assistant. It uses a 5,200 mAh battery instead of 6,400 mAh, crosses standard thresholds up to 2 cm rather than 3 cm and 4 cm, and lifts only its mops, not the main brush, on carpet. In exchange it stands 9.79 cm tall, lower than the Edge, and costs less; Roborock states the Qrevo Curv S5X is the same robot with a different dock design.

The DuoDivide main brush splits hair between two short rollers and drives it straight 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 uses a spiral shape and soft rubber ribs so strands shed instead of winding around the axle. Together with 18,500 Pa of suction this is why Roborock positions the S5A for shedding pets.

Yes. The robot retracts the mop cloth mounts when it detects carpet so rugs are vacuumed dry, and you can also mark a carpet as a no-go zone in the app if you prefer it skipped. The main brush does not lift on this model. Very dark or shag carpet can still be read as a drop by the cliff sensors, which cannot be turned off.

The dock washes the mop pads with 167 F (75 C) hot water, re-washes and re-mops when its dirt detection finds the floor still dirty, dries the pads with 113 F (45 C) warm air, empties the dustbin into a disposable bag that lasts up to 7 weeks, and refills the robot's onboard water tank. You fill the clean water tank, empty the dirty tank, and change the bag; no plumbing is needed.

The Qrevo Edge S5A 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).

Roborock lists obstacles near the dock as the usual cause: clear them or move the dock to an open area with at least 0.5 m free on either side and 1.5 m in front, and place the robot closer if it is far away. Wipe the signal window on the front of the dock and the robot's front sensor, which it uses to line up. If the robot was carried to another room, set it on the dock by hand so it can relocate itself on the map; if it will not charge, check both ends of the power cord and clean the charging contacts.

The robot, the dock with a disposable dust bag pre-installed, one spare disposable dust bag, mop cloths, mop cloth mounts, the power cord, and the user manual. The dock measures 13.39 x 19.17 x 20.51 inches, and the robot is available in black or white.
