This two-in-one vacuum is an Amazon bestseller thanks to its versatility and reasonable price tag. Offering great value in exchange for excellent cleaning performance, the Roborock QV 35S vacuum is a good pick if you’re after a low to mid-range model that doesn’t skimp on functionality.
Score: 88/100
We were pleasantly surprised by this robot vacuum in testing – it achieved top scores across a number of our tests. Its dust pick-up was particularly impressive, and the whole-room clean was equally effective, taking just 13 and a half minutes.
Its connected app was intuitive throughout, making it easy to map rooms and set any no-go zones. We also liked the post-clean summary that tells you where the robot has cleaned and whether areas has been vacuumed or mopped.
Speaking of mopping, it performs best on fresh spills, so we recommend setting it to work as soon as accidents happen. However, the dual rotating mop pads were still great at agitating and lifting stains, only leaving small streaks of dried-in ketchup and coffee stains when faced with a worst-case scenario.
The main downside was its pet hair pick-up. While it removed most strands after five minutes of cleaning, some small clumps and fine hairs were left behind, leaving the finish slightly less thorough than we’d have hoped. It might not be one for homes with pets but otherwise, it’s a reliable, affordable buy.
