Qrevo edge s5a Goes on sale a lot Workin great for me. Floors are so clean. So clean

I have a [QRevo Edge](https://amzn.to/3NoUAA3) and I'm obsessed. I hadn't had robot vacuum since my robotic swiffer thing \~10 years ago, but this thing is amazing. I haven't set it up yet to automate, but the plan is that once I'm outside of a mile radius of my house and my home hasn't been fully cleaned in 3 days, it automatically vacuums and mops the whole place. Some really slick features, and be sure to get some soap that was deliberately designed for RoboRock.

Qrevo Curv S5X downstairs and Qrevo Edge S5A upstairs. Main difference is the docking station shape/color. Otherwise equivalent.

Roborock Qrevo CurvX. Had the Edge S5A for a few weeks I got from Prime day sale, but felt like I should’ve went with one with better threshold clearance and obstacle avoidance. Also getting 10% off on top of the sale price makes it seem perfect for price and features.

I picked up an Edge S5A on eBay as a new in box (though I suspect it was a refurb) for ~$550 shipped. It’s miles better than my last robot vacuum-only (Roomba i8+), and while it’s not a “flagship” model, I definitely notice the improvement. It’s much quieter than my last robot, the performance is better, the mopping has been great for my kitchen, and I definitely recommend it if you can find a deal.

I prefer the s8 maxv ultra over the edge (returned the edge) the vacuuming is significantly better on the s8. The mopping is okay compared to the edge. My floors actually seemed worse with dirt after using the edge.

# [Under $300](https://amzn.to/48R0G4J) Generally speaking, I think its rare you find a great robot at this price, and I've discussed why there's some sense in [not spending the money on real discount robots](https://www.whatrobotvacuumshouldiget.com/2025/06/20/are-budget-robot-vacuums-worth-buying/). Still... there are a few gems worth looking at, as more expensive models drop under this threshold. If you've got a smaller place, or a place with many floor objects, try a Switchbot. Because they're so small, they can get between chair legs and make a small radius around things. Switchbot just doesn't get enough attention, IMO. Lots of people purchased the K10+ Pro on my recommendation during Prime Day and have posted about how happy they are. The 11 made the tower smaller and improved some other specs, but is mostly the same model. The perfect apartment, studio, or office vac. Performs spectacularly well as a vacuum, particularly given the price and stats, but it is ONLY a vacuum. If you're more concerned about a mop, get the 3i. (its great at both, to be clear, but it has the best mop of the bunch). I really like the 3i brand, they're not new, they've been making robots for other companies for years. The G10 is stripped down from premium models, but it had the same sweeper>roller design that is so effective on the higher end models. If you're looking for a carpet forward model, Eureka is the only legacy vacuum brand that successfully transitioned to robots that work. While no brand has great customer service anymore, there's a benefit to Eureka being US based. No waiting 24 hours for a response. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K11+](https://amzn.to/4mOxq1O)|399.99|224.99|44%| |[3i G10+](https://amzn.to/48znS7N)|$449.99|$269.99|40%| |[Eureka E20 Plus](https://amzn.to/4mOwQBd)|449.99|299.99|33%| # [Under $500](https://amzn.to/4o4MPMA) Were seeing some amazing deals in this price band. That L40 Ultra has dropped from the original price of $1499 to under $500. So many people have been grabbing this model since Prime Day and most of them report being quite happy. While it wouldn't have been my favorite at a higher price, at this price, you're getting a premium model at an absurd sale price. I absolutely love the 3i current line up. The vacuum and mop are both fantastic and the app-easy. This is basically my top pick (3i S10 Ultra) minus the dehumidifier. The P10 still has the great sweep/roller design and gets up debris no other brand can without getting clogged. Get this one if you're concerned about larger debris. The Eureka is better than it should be. I loved the sweeper design, it moved debris off hard floors and carpet very effectively and would be my pick for carpet. Rarely got stuck on anything or reported errors, and it was just really reliable. I recommended this model during Prime Day, and got a lot of good feedback from folks who picked it up. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Dreame L40 Ultra](https://amzn.to/48Rswhk)|$799.99|$469.99|41%   | |[Eureka J15 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4gUYACY)|699.99|489.99|30%| |[3i P10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4h1Sy3y)|$1,099.99|$469.99|55%| # [Under $750](https://amzn.to/4nypaUV) Roborock has won my loyalty over the past few years by producing consistently reliable robots, and the S5A is no different. A variant of the Qrevo line, with spinning mop heads that extend. While Roborock may produce an absurd number of models, and the S5A is no exception, they are reliable for an exceptional app experience, with intuitive setting locations, great support and good hardware with easy to find replacement parts. The L40S is the best of both worlds. A premium vac, at a not premium price for now. This is the model with the best balance on this list, of vacuum and mop. It improves over the L40 in the previous band with better nav and suction. Finally, if you want to emphasize mopping, Narwal does it really well. My two issues w this model are that it uses a ridiculous amount of water and there's a giant button on top of the machine your pet or kid will want to bop. If you don't mind refilling a lot, and you dig into the settings to lock the button (or don't have kids/pets) this is ideal. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Narwal Freo Z Ultra (White Version)](https://amzn.to/46IEhUI)|$1,499.99|$550.00|63%| |[Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A](https://amzn.to/46ZYXI5)|$999.99|$649.99|35%| |[Dreame L40s Ultra](https://amzn.to/4o5ARCv)|$1,099.99|$749.99|32%| # [Under $900 ](https://amzn.to/4oad9oS) From the day it was released, I thought the Curv was a steal, most of the premium features of the S8 line, at a better price with improvements to the sweeps, extending out beyond the robot. The CurvX improves on the Curv with higher Pa and better nav. I do think its a better vacuum than mop. The X9 is a better mop than vacuum. but other than getting clogged here and there, was generally a good vacuum, and this is a reasonable price for it. Eureka is the best surprise this year. The J15 line is consistent and reliably performing. I love the sweeps, its a very effective mop and carpet cleaner and offers US based support. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Ecovacs x9 Pro Omni](https://amzn.to/46CySzK)|$1,599.00|$899.00|44%| |[Eureka J15 Max Ultra](https://amzn.to/46UkK3x)|1199.99|$899.00|25%| |[Roborock Qrevo CurvX](https://amzn.to/48PvS4j)|$1,499.99|$899.99|40%| # [Over $900 ](https://amzn.to/48OKBMY) In this band are my top two recommendations. Let's start with my favorite robot of all time (a BIG statement). 3i has been making robots for other brands for a while, but the 3i is their first flagship. The S10 Ultra blew me away and became the only robot I've ever kept after testing. It will vacuum anything, without getting stuck or clogged. I mean, giant pieces of mulch. No problem. It cleans water on its own and generates more from the air, so it truly is set it and forget it. Totally autonomous. I've been yapping about it for months, and of everyone who bought it during Prime Day, I'd say people were split, 60/40. Most loved it, but some complained of a musty smell, which makes sense, since the unit is basically a dehumidifier (that's how it generates water). I've had mine for 6 months and don't notice a smell in a very wet state (Oregon), but it seems like something worth noting. So let's talk about the Flow. I tested the Dreame and Narwal roller mops, (and previously, the Eufy roller mops). Everyone is obsessed with roller mops, but the Flow is the first one I recommend. The flow improves on the Freo Z and X by not needing to be refilled constantly, and the vacuum improves over all other Narwal models. I still don't think roller mops are the end all/be all, so I wouldn't recommend dropping $1500 of this model, but I do think the Flow is worth buying at this sale price. |**Model**|**Original Price**|**BDD Price**|**Discount**| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[3i S10 Ultra](https://amzn.to/4o7hKIe)|$1,899.99|$1,099.99|42%| |[Narwal Flow](https://amzn.to/3IxMoLX)|$1,499.99|$1,099.99|27%| If you're looking for ALL the models on sale for Big Deal Days, they're [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/comments/1nvsulx/every_robovac_on_sale_for_amazon_big_deal_days/) or s[ee all sales models at once](https://amzn.to/4nt1sJH).

I'm not sure these are ALL the deals out there, but these are what's been released to me (that's off embargo). These are affiliate links, I had mod permission (I assume, still).

the edge and the curv are the same machine, with a different tower design. One is taller, the other wider. Personally, I preferred the curv, but that's all it is, preference. Retractable LIDAR is, FWIW< a very good thing, but if you feel this passionately, go w the edge.

I don't think that, it is absolutely better, featureset wise. The S5a is not the original Curv, which I could argue is as good/slightly better than the S8 MaxV Ultra. The Saros 10 is the next up in that line.

It’s not that great. The [Roborock S5A](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNDTP9CJ/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_39JR03P9E13NPAAYRBV8?linkCode=ml1&tag=daytona69ers-20&linkId=8e06d72c14cd2bcc4956dab578834be4) and [Eufy E25](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FK2HPNCB/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_dl_768BRK6R7RAQH8XXFCF0?linkCode=ml1&tag=daytona69ers-20&linkId=a1ba49f180d30019d3a4f266b8539ae7) are much better choices for the best value.

You’re not wrong. But I’ve done quite a bit of research. The cheap robot vacuums usual don’t end up working well. They get tangled with wires, shoe laces and more. Perform horribly after 3 months. I’ve had the S5A (but upgraded to the [Saros 10R](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHCJ571Z/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_8HG89DV1JKFW3PSFMZTJ?linkCode=ml1&tag=daytona69ers-20&linkId=07cc978855bac0ed53650554cd518a77) and gave the S5A to my sister) and my parents have the Eufy E25 So yes I’ve tried both of them. No complaints and they outperform a cheap Dreame robot vacuum with shitty customer service.

I have a Roborock Qrevo Edge S5A. I think it's the slightly more budget version of the R10. It also self empties and has a (self filling/self emptying) mop. I think it's normally in the $700 range or so. I love it.

I have both a QRevo CurvX and a Qrevo Edge S5A so I think I’m pretty well qualified to advise! I don’t have experience with Dreame, however. I’m in the US and paid $859 for the CurvX (Black Friday) and $480 for the S5A (Christmas Sale fo $600 - $120 in Roborock points they were giving away like candy in December). The price you’re seeing is about $640 USD so pretty close to what I paid before points. The S5A is essentially the CurvX without cameras and with a less fancy dock. I am really impressed with the CurvX and wanted a cheaper vacuum for upstairs with similar features and this fit the bill. No camera roaming around our bedrooms was a nice little benefit, I thought too. Watching both robots, it’s clear the cameras are a significant upgrade in obstacle avoidance. The S5A hits more cords, runs into laundry my kids leave on the floor, pushes my low-profile scale all over the bedroom, and gets caught up more frequently than the CurvX. I previously used a Roomba i7+ in this same space and I’d say their obstacle avoidance is about equal. The S5A does better at not bumping into major furniture for the purposes of navigation (Lidar) but about the same on how it handles low profile things. Overall it’s good for the space I’m using it in and has been an upgrade over the i7 in vacuum performance, reliability, and the ability to do some light mopping. Hard to say on long term reliability given that it’s a relatively new model but I haven’t had issues. If it were my primary robot I’d want something with cameras if I could swing it.
