pretty excited to see how it performs

Hey guys, here's a 3 month update on the Roborock F25 Ultra

This is actually my first wet and dry vacuum. Before this, I was using a RoboVac, but I wanted something with more control

The main thing that sold me was the steam feature. I’ve been using it almost daily for the past three months, and honestly, it’s been a really solid experience overall

The first thing that surprised me was the weight. I expected it to be heavy, but it’s actually pretty lightweight and easy to move around. It’s also very straightforward to use, nothing complicated about it. You just pick it up and get going

Maintenance has been way easier than I expected. I think I’ve only manually washed the mop a couple of times in three months because the self-cleaning system actually works really well. Compared to my old RoboVac, it’s not even close. That one used to take around four hours to dry the mop and still didn’t feel great. This one dries it in about 20 minutes, and there’s no bad smell afterward, which honestly shocked me

Cleaning it after each session is also quick, maybe 3 to 5 minutes max, so it never feels like a chore

I mostly use the steam mode, and it does a really good job, even on tougher stains. You might need to go over the same spot a few times, but it gets the job done. It’s not magic, but it’s reliable

Hair tangling wasn’t an issue at first, but over time I did notice it happening occasionally. That said, it’s pretty easy to clean out with the brush they include, so it hasn’t been a big deal for me. Definitely still better than my old RoboVac, which used to get tangled constantly

One thing I liked is that it doesn’t leave any bad smell after cleaning. Sometimes in steam mode there’s a slight burning smell, but it goes away pretty quickly, so I didn’t really mind it

I did run into a couple of small issues. A few times when placing it on the base, it kept saying the vacuum wasn’t placed correctly even though it was. Restarting it fixed the issue. Also, there were a couple of times where it didn’t start drying after self-cleaning. But after a software update, I haven’t noticed those problems again, so it seems like they fixed it

Battery-wise, I haven’t tracked it super precisely, but it easily cleans my whole place on a single charge. Charging takes around four hours. Steam mode does drain the battery faster, that’s noticeable. Auto mode is much better for battery life and can probably go close to an hour, though I haven’t personally pushed it that far

Overall, I’m genuinely satisfied with it. It’s been a bit of a game changer for me in terms of day to day cleaning. Easy to use, low maintenance, and the steam feature ended up being way better than I expected

If someone is thinking about getting this model, I’d definitely recommend it
