Up to three
All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Qrevo Edge S5A | Deebot T30 Pro Omni |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodRuntime and coverage suit compact homes; single charge handles most 1,500 sqft homes in one pass on low suction. | Good180-minute runtime covers under 1,500 sqft in one pass; standard mode sufficient. |
| 1,500 – 3,000they differ | DependsCoverage is solid, but ~120 min runtime may require recharge between floors on high suction; multi-floor homes may span two charging cycles. | GoodTypical range for this model; multi-room scheduling handles splits across two floors efficiently. |
| Over 3,000they differ | PoorRuntime inadequate for homes over 3,000 sqft; multi-floor coverage requires multiple recharge breaks and extended session times. | DependsDeep cleans on 3,000+ sqft single floors require mid-session recharge; extends total time to 3-4 hours. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | Good18,500 Pa suction on hard floors is efficient; edge-cleaning side brush performs well on transitions between tile and carpet. | GoodConsistent vacuum performance across sealed hardwood and tile; mopping results good on hard floors. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodStandard Qrevo suction rating matches low-pile carpet; manufacturer specs document no performance loss on this surface type. | GoodVacuum and mopping both perform well on low-pile carpet per owner reports. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | PoorOwner reports document suction loss on shag and high-pile carpets; 18,500 Pa sits below the threshold needed for plush surfaces. | DependsVacuum handles high-pile; mopping performance degrades significantly and owner reports show suction loss. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. |
| Light mopping | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. |
| Frequent mopping | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. |
| You want to… | ||
| Empty bin myself | GoodMonthly dust-bag swap and weekly brush cleaning match owners who prefer active maintenance over set-and-forget automation. | GoodWeekly dustbin/mop tank emptying and monthly pad swaps required; not fully hands-off. |
| Empty occasionallythey differ | DependsRequires monthly intervention for dust bags, but no mop-wash cycle or auto-dry. Less frequent than manual-vacuum, more hands-on than flagship auto-empty. | GoodDock automation handles mop cleaning and air drying; weekly bin empty is all that is required for basic operation. |
| Set-and-forget | PoorMonthly dust-bag replacement and quarterly deep cleans are unavoidable; dock has no auto-empty or mop-wash to reduce owner effort. | PoorWeekly maintenance (dustbin empty, water refill) required; not a fully hands-off system. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Charge time, Noise.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
The Multifunctional Dock 3.0 takes over emptying, washing, drying and refilling, but it is a full-size station that needs a permanent spot near an outlet, and its own clean and waste water tanks are still filled and emptied by hand.
Standard dock requires monthly intervention, yet the robot maps like a $1,200 flagship; capability ceiling is high, but ownership floor is unchanged.
The dock eliminates manual mop rinsing, but introduces a 20-30 minute wash-and-dry cycle that conflicts with quiet household hours.
Ecovacs publishes up to 290 minutes in silent mode on hard floor, but that is a best case; raising suction toward the 11,000 Pa maximum shortens a charge substantially, and no runtime at that setting is published.
The automated dock adds convenience but brings its own upkeep, mop pads, dust bags and tank refills, that a budget vacuum does not carry.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
