Roborock’s new robot vacuum can remove its own mops before cleaning carpets

The Qrevo 2 Pro also cleans its own mops, empties its dustbin, and keeps hair from wrapping around the brushes

Robot vacuums can clean floors on their own, but there is still plenty of maintenance involved. Brushes collect hair, dustbins need emptying, and mops need to be washed and dried between cleaning sessions.

Roborock’s new Qrevo 2 Pro is built in a way to reduce some of that work. The robot vacuum offers 25,000Pa of suction, automatic mop removal, anti-tangle brushes, and a multifunction dock that can empty its dust bin, refill its water tank, and clean the mops. The Qrevo 2 Pro launches in the U.S. on August 28 for $549.99 as part of an introductory promotion. Its regular MSRP is $799.99.

The mop can stay behind when it reaches carpet

One of the more interesting features is Auto Mop Removal. When the Qrevo 2 Pro detects that it needs to clean carpet, it can leave its mop at the dock and pick it back up afterward. There are also dedicated carpet modes that increase suction or send the robot across the same area again in a crisscross pattern.

The robot uses a DuoDivide main brush alongside an anti-tangle side brush. Roborock claims the system achieved a 0% hair-tangling rate and 100% hair-removal rate in its controlled testing, although actual performance will depend on the environment. For edges, a reversible side brush changes direction when the robot enters a corner, while the FlexiArm mop can extend to within 1.85mm of a wall.

The dock handles most of the maintenance

The included dock washes the mop pads, dries them using warm air, automatically empties the dust bin for up to 65 days, and refills the water tank. Roborock says the internal heater output reaches 75 degrees Celsius during mop washing, while drying air can reach 45 degrees Celsius.

Roborock has been experimenting with more unusual ideas, including a mechanical arm on the Saros Z70 and a prototype that can climb and clean stairs. The Qrevo 2 Pro obviously takes a more conventional route, but its automatic mop removal and low-maintenance dock are still quite neat.

I played with Yarbo’s yard robot at IFA, and now I want one for every season
One tracked robot, a new job for every season
Yarbo M-series Featured 2

I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting a yard robot to be one of the more entertaining things I’d get my hands on at IFA 2026. Then I walked over to Yarbo’s booth and started playing around with the M Series.

The basic idea is wonderfully simple: instead of buying a different robot for every outdoor chore, Yarbo gives you one tracked robotic Core and a collection of attachments. Swap the module, and suddenly your robot has a completely different job. Mowing? Yep. Snow? Yep. Leaves? Yep. And there’s even a trimmer module on the way.

The future of smart homes may not be more devices, but better-designed experiences

Minimalism has reshaped almost every corner of the modern home. Kitchens hide appliances behind seamless cabinetry, televisions have become slimmer and more discreet, and storage is increasingly designed to disappear into the architecture. The goal isn’t simply to own better things. It’s to create spaces that feel calmer, cleaner, and more intentional. Smart home technology, however, has largely moved in the opposite direction. Every upgrade seems to introduce another speaker, another controller, another light, or another connected device competing for space and attention.

The best tech of IFA 2026: A repairable laptop, liquid-cooled power bank, AI toothbrush, and more
From an AI toothbrush to a liquid-cooled battery, this is the best tech of IFA 2026
Best Of IFA 2026

IFA Berlin brought innovation from across the globe into one giant exhibition, and we got the chance to experience the new-gen "tech" firsthand. Walking through Messe Berlin, we saw a laptop designed to be repaired at home to a power bank with visible liquid coolant, an AI-powered toothbrush with a camera inside your mouth, and a robot vacuum carrying another.

The variety is what makes IFA one of the best tech shows. IFA 2026 runs from September 4 through 8, and we've spent our time in Berlin chasing down the products that caught our eyes. Some of these are clever ideas that may change how we use tech every day, while others solve a problem that I didn't realize existed.
