Roborock showed up at CES with a new range of vacuums for this year, and being big fans of their past robot vacuums we wanted to check things out and get hands-on time with the new S8 series, Q Revo series, and Flexi series vacuums.
While not the most advanced, the Flexi series vacuums caught our eye. For one these are push vacuums. So there’s no robotic function, and that sort of product is uncommon from a company that specializes in robot vacuums. These won’t maneuver around your home and clean the floors for you. No, these are regular vacuums that you will manually clean the floors with yourself. It’s not a route many robot vacuum companies go. But Roborock has been offering them and for the first time, Roborock will begin selling its Flexi series vacuums in the US.
This will include the Flex Pro and the Flexi Lite. Both of these feature a really neat lay-flat function that allows you to get into any hard-to-reach areas. Such as under couches, chairs, and tables with ease. These also have a much higher suction power than any of the robot vacuums, naturally, since they have more room for the inside components. Roborock says they have a suction power of 17,000Pa. Which is about 7,000Pa suction power over the maximum of the S8 MaxV Ultra’s 10,000Pa.
You might need to manually push these around, but they certainly won’t compromise on the clean. And the fact that they still have mops for wet cleaning makes them that much better.
Roborock’s new robot vacuums promise to clean every corner
Robot vacuums are great and there are loads out there to choose from. But Roborock is aiming to edge out the competition with some truly impressive features. That’s why we were excited to get some hands-on time with the Roborock S8 series and Q Revo series vacuums. The S8 series vacuums for instance will come with both a FlexiArm side brush and an Extra Edge mop arm. These will work in tandem to ensure every single inch of your floor is clean. Not just the spaces away from pesky corners.
The neat thing about the FlexiArm side brush is that it extends out when the vacuum comes up to a corner and pushes any dirt or debris away from the corner so the vacuum can suck it up. The Extra Edge mop is neat too. This sits towards the backside of the vacuum and mops the floor and the edge of the floor that sits next to the baseboards.
The Q Revo series vacuums are impressive too. These don’t feature the FlexiArm design side brush but they do employ the FlexiArm Design robotic arm for the Extra Edge mopping system. These vacuums also feature two big round mop pads that are attached to these arms, as opposed to a larger single pad on the S8 series. All of these new robot vacuums promise to bring an intense clean to your home. But they also offer something unique from each other.
For example, the S8 series vacuums are more powerful, but the Q Revo series has the larger mop pads on the FlexiArm. The Q Revo series vacuums will also cost hundreds less. Still, all four of them look to be well-equipped to handle your floors. You will be able to purchase all of these in April.
