QRevo Edge 2 Owner
Recently purchased a QRevo Edge 2 to replace my S8+ after a mishap with some dog poop…
Spent countless hours, Claude sessions and YouTube videos figuring out what unit to get and landed on the newly released Edge 2! First unit arrived defective and refused to charge or dock properly. Returned to Amazon and Roborock gave me a $40 discount and two free bags (lol); their customer service is such a negative.
The new unit has been working flawlessly! What sold me on a new release with little reviews was the fact this model has 90% of the Saros 20 features in a much cheaper unit and more tried and true lidar based navigation instead of time of flight.
So far, the cleaning, navigation, dock and all else has been incredibly good. Things like the ability for the robot to leave the mop pads, lower its lidar when needed and identify wet messes when vacuuming via the camera have worked great in my real world use cases. I’ve had 0 issues both in navigation with two dogs and a messy fiancée. Mopping has been incredibly effective and vacuuming while not a data driven test, does seem better with the higher alleged 25,000 pa of suction. I don’t need threshold climbing which the Saros 20 has although this does have a higher threshold climbing ability. The only feature the Saros 20 has as well as the Edge 2 Pro (not currently sold in the U.S.) is the adapt lift chasis is used to lower or raise the robot on carpet for a better suction seal, versus this having a powered, raised or lowered brush head. How well does one work over the other? Who’s to say. But that was the main feature I felt I was giving up on.
All in all, given the speed these models change and the ever growing list of models. The Edge series has always has strong reviews from online reviewers and the Edge 2 was a great choice to get alot go the flagship features without flagship pricing or headaches I’ve seen of people with Saros 20!
Hope this helps some sad soul in the rabbit hole of purchase fatigue.
