The Qrevo S5V is a mid-class model, while the Edge 35A is a premium robot vacuum.
Both have the same mopping system, except for the side brush extension that the Edge has.
The main difference between the two is power and a self-cleaning station
The Standard self-cleaning station does the following things:
- Self-empty
- Auto-wash the mops with water & dry them with hot air
- Auto-fill the water tank
- The detachable dock base has an upgraded design, so it stays nice and clean after every wash and is easier to maintain
- Fast charging & Off-peak charging
In addition to the options, the Edge 35A also features washing the pads with hot water, intelligent re-wash and re-mop, mop washing temperature adjustment, and cleaning the station with hot water.
Best value
The S5V is as powerful as the latest Qrevo Edge, with all the bells and whistles of the premium lineup. Features:
- Strong suction
- Reduced price
- DuoDivide rollers
- Has a 3-stage cleaning process
Compared to the latest models, the S5V's obstacle avoidance is not as advanced, and the robot lacks a Voice assistant and remote viewing; however, it has everything you wish for the price.
A rich-featured robot with premium functionallity for a reduced price
The robot lacks remote viewing and a voice assistant.
The mopping lacks some extras, and the station's detachable dock base should be manually cleaned after every other use.
The robot is powerful enough for vacuuming carpets, great for pet owners, and ideal for homes with hard floors.
Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A
The premium robot that lacks some things but still is a great buy.
Pet-friendly robot
When operating, the robot detects a pet and stops; during cleanups, it takes pictures of your pet that you can download; it allows video calling and talking to your pet in two-way voice chat.
Upgrades over the Slim:
- DuoDivide rollers
- Stronger suction
- Stable LDS navigation
- Hot water self-clean
- Mopping wash temperature adjust
- Intelligent Dirt Detection
Made for homes with carpets and hard floors
What is Intelligent Dirt Detection or Re-mop & Re-wash?
The robot senses when the pads are dirtier, automatically gets back to the station for washing, and returns to re-mop the dirty area one more time.
The self-cleaning station has more features, which make mopping a better process with the hot water washing and self-cleaning.
Additionally, the robot features a voice assistant and remote viewing.
To sum up
The Qrevo Edge S5A is a better buy if you want additional mopping features and more power for vacuuming carpets.
However, the price might make a difference, and this is where the Qrevo S5V shines. Yes, it does not have some bells and whistles of the premium Edge S5A, but it still is a solid pick for the price.
