Back then, Roborock released a pack of new Qrevo series and recently announced new models, which made the buying process difficult. The QV modifications reduce some features for stronger suction and a lower price tag.
Cleaning mechanic
Starting with mopping, the Qrevo series utilizes a two-rotating mop system. The robot doesn't extend the pad along the walls and around furniture.
However, these two have SmartPlan, a system that adapts the cleaning strategy based on previous runs.

The QV 35S builds on the QV 35A with more suction. Basically, it's the same robot vacuum that has more power.
The Multi-Functional dock has the following functions:
- self-emptying
- water tank auto-fill
- washing and drying the mopping pads
- a detachable base
The basic self-cleaning station lacks some premium features, but still makes the robot a solid buy.
What is SmartPlan?
SmartPlan adapts the cleaning strategy by setting suction level and mopping modes for each room based on previous cleaning.
