iRobot Roomba E5
Score: 71/100
Roborock Qrevo Series
Score: 77/100Rankings
Roborock's QV 35A delivers 8000 Pa suction, dual-spinning mops and a fully automated dock that empties dust, refills water and washes pads, providing up to seven weeks of maintenance-free use. The unit and dock are bulky and the onboard dustbin is relatively small, which may require frequent emptying. Best suited for large households that value convenience and powerful cleaning.
The Roomba e5 is an entry-level robot vacuum featuring dual rubber brushes, automatic height adjustment and Alexa integration, with a 90-minute runtime. Its short battery life and small dustbin limit cleaning duration and capacity. It suits small to medium homes where affordability and basic pet-hair cleaning are priorities.

Professional reviewers praise the Roomba e5 for its sturdy construction, rapid charging, and effective cleaning of small debris on hard floors, as well as its automatic height adjustment and dirt-sensor-guided cleaning. However, they note shortcomings such as limited battery life, modest bin size, weaker performance on pet hair on bare floors, lack of smart navigation, and higher maintenance due to parts that need frequent cleaning or replacement.
Professional commentary is scarce because the QV 35A launched only in early 2025, but the available product pages and brief editor notes emphasize its 8000 Pa suction, extensive auto-empty dock, and precise LiDAR navigation as standout upgrades over previous models.
Early user feedback is overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the robot's strong suction, pet-hair handling, and the convenience of the self-cleaning dock. Reviewers note the machine feels quiet and runs long enough to cover large homes, with no major complaints surfacing yet.
