Roborock press imageQV 35A
The cheapest way into a self-maintaining dock: 8,000 Pa, LiDAR mapping, twin spinning mops that lift, and a station that empties, washes, dries and refills.
Review method: Specification analysis
Our verdict
At this price most robot vacuums come with a charging plate and a bin you empty by hand. The QV 35A comes with the whole dock — it empties the bin, washes the mops, dries them and refills the water — and that is the entire argument for it. Everything else is the budget version of the idea: 8,000 Pa is a fraction of the flagships' figure and it will show on deep carpet, the mop wash is cold water and the drying is cold air, and obstacle sensing is structured light with no camera behind it. What you get is a machine that maps properly, lifts its mops for rugs, crosses a 20 mm threshold and asks nothing of you for weeks at a time.
Pros
- Full self-maintaining dock — emptying, mop washing, drying and water refill
- Proper LiDAR mapping with no-go zones at a budget price
- Twin spinning mops that lift clear of carpet
- Anti-tangle rubber brush
- In Poland 1,019 zł, in Germany €289
Cons
- 8,000 Pa — expect it to skate over deep carpet
- Cold-water wash and cold-air drying; the mops will take longer to dry
- Structured light only — no camera, so cables and pet mess are a risk
- No voice control; chassis height and capacities are not published
Best for
- Hard floors and low-pile rugs
- A first robot vacuum where the dock matters more than raw power
- Second machines for a flat or an upstairs floor
Not recommended for
- Deep carpet or heavy pet hair
- Cluttered floors — there is no camera to recognise what is on them

Top picks
- Roborock84
Saros 20
Roborock's flagship: 36,000 Pa, twin spinning mops the dock washes at 100 °C, and a solid-state 3D sensor instead of a LiDAR turret.
- Roborock82
Saros Z70
The robot vacuum with an arm: 22,000 Pa, solid-state 3D sensing and a five-axis gripper that moves socks and slippers out of its own way.
- Roborock75
Qrevo Curv S5X
The sensible Roborock: 18,500 Pa, LiDAR mapping, spinning mops that lift for carpet and a dock that washes, dries and empties — for well under half the flagship price.
