I bought this model after extensive research. Of course, I read reviews on Skroutz and other pages, but mainly I looked into pages that test robot vacuums with a scientific approach so that their results are comparable from one model to another. I was between this one and the S8 MaxV, which essentially has the same features but a significant price difference. After the research, the only weakness of this particular model is in obstacle detection, as the sensor for this is only light-based, while the S8 has an additional sensor that makes it more detailed in detecting objects. Also, the dual brush of the S8 does not have any practical difference in the cleaning result beyond the fact that it doesn’t let long hairs settle on them. We are two people with long hair at home, and it has no problem, nor did the old cheap Lenovo robot vacuum! Since it was something that personally didn’t concern me, I proceeded with the purchase of the Q Revo.
Now let’s talk about how the vacuum is. To say it from the start, I haven’t found any negatives as it has solved my problems and saved me a lot of time each week, since we have a dog with medium hair that fills the space within a day, and we vacuum every day. The only, let’s say, more difficult part is its programming, but it is fully customizable.
If, like us, you have an issue with pet hair, then you need to schedule a routine where the vacuum will clean in zones that you will create so that it can return to empty its bin (it has a small capacity as is logical), clean the mopping pads, and then continue with the next zone. If you choose to clean the whole house or specific rooms, then it will return to the base every time it finishes a room. I mention these as tips so you don’t have to search too much depending on what use you will make.
The vacuum generally leaves nothing behind, neither hair nor dust nor dirt, nothing. The mop works wonderfully, and I didn’t expect a robot vacuum to have such a good result. I have put a minimal amount of general-purpose cleaning liquid (1/3 from the cap) and a little vinegar in the clean water bin to clean properly.
According to the instructions and the pages that do thorough reviews, it does not replace the sweeping and mopping that someone does by themselves. It is for effective maintenance, but now I sweep and mop once a week instead of doing it every day for sweeping and every two days for mopping. Additionally, when I mop, I see that the water doesn’t get dirty like before, so it indeed does its job.
One piece of advice because I read comments about odors, etc., read the instructions. Every device needs maintenance; you should regularly wash the tray at the base where it cleans the mopping pads. I also wash the dirty water bin when it fills up, as well as the pads every now and then, and I clean the vacuum brush from hair (about once a week or so). It has never emitted any bad smell. Furthermore, robot vacuums do not work for cleaning when liquids have been spilled or when there are large debris; I had read somewhere where people complained that it didn’t clean dog waste... logical. Every object has a specific use, and within this framework, it works correctly, so think about what it can do and what use you intend for it.
TL;DR: The vacuum is capable and does what it promises. It has solved our problems and we have saved a lot of time in the daily maintenance of the house. We have scheduled it for daily vacuuming and mopping, which take a total of 45 minutes for the areas we have set (around 30 sq. m.), it makes no noise and leaves the floor shiny!
I believe it is one of the best choices even though it belongs to the high mid range. It will definitely meet the needs of most, if not all.
I hope I helped with my review!
