Roborock Cuts Robot Vacuum Prices Ahead of Black Friday

Roborock, a robot vacuum maker that technology outlet Wired lists among its favorite brands, has begun cutting prices ahead of its official Black Friday sale, which starts on November 19. The discounts cover two models from its Qrevo line, which both vacuum and mop floors. Each is currently priced under $700.

Why it matters

According to Wired, robot vacuums are more expensive than ever, with many models from well-known brands such as Dyson and Shark starting at $1,200. Shoppers usually don't need to pay that much for a good model if they wait for a sale.

Qrevo 2 Pro

The Qrevo 2 Pro launched in late summer as the newest addition to Roborock's more affordable Qrevo range. Its regular price is $800, but it currently sells for $600. The reviewer notes it has occasionally dropped as low as $550, yet recommends buying now. She particularly praises its corner cleaning, made possible by an extendable mop arm. The device doesn't always detect cords, but it handles furniture and the space under cabinets better than more expensive robot vacuums she has tested.

Qrevo Curv 2 Flow

The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is aimed at people who prefer a roller-mop design. It came out in January this year, and the outlet's reviewer liked it right away. It costs more than the Qrevo 2 Pro because it features the company's SpriaFlow roller mop. The roller spans nearly the full width of the machine and can extend to clean along edges. A built-in scraper also directs dirty water into the tank rather than spreading it back onto the floor. Its current sale price is almost the same as that of the Qrevo 2 Pro.
