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.
Where each one suits you.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | Roborock Qrevo S Pro | Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | Good240-minute runtime and about 1,495 sq ft measured per charge easily covers compact layouts in one pass. | GoodA 120-minute run and saved LiDAR maps cover a compact home comfortably in one pass. |
| 1,500 – 3,000they differ | GoodIndependent testing measured roughly 1,495 sq ft cleaned per charge, enough for most homes in this range without a recharge stop. | DependsThe 120-minute run suits mid-size homes, but Dyson does not state the R1 recharges and resumes, so a single large run can stop short. |
| Over 3,000 | DependsAt about 1,495 sq ft measured per charge, homes above 3,000 sq ft likely need more than one charge cycle to finish. | DependsNo published coverage figure for homes this size, and no documented recharge-and-resume, so a full clean may take several sessions. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | Good18,500 Pa suction and automatically lifting mop pads clean bare floors without extra setup or manual pad removal. | GoodBuilt around hard floors: 21,000 Pa rated suction plus an ultrasonic sensor that separates hard floor from carpet. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodIndependent testing measured 81 percent carpet debris removal, matching the category average despite a single rubber main brush. | GoodTwin-capture separation and 21,000 Pa rated suction handle low-pile carpet; the brush bar is built to resist hair wrap. |
| High pile / shag | DependsThe single rubber main brush gives less mechanical agitation than a bristle brush, so thick high-pile carpet likely sees reduced pickup. | DependsThe 21,000 Pa figure is a peak Dyson claim with no independent high-pile test, so deep and shag pile performance is unverified. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. | GoodVacuum-only robot — matches a vacuum-only need. |
| Light moppingthey differ | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. | PoorThis model has no mopping function. |
| Frequent moppingthey differ | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. | PoorNo mop at all; choose a vacuum-and-mop robot instead. |
| Upkeep you accept | ||
| Regular upkeep | GoodAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. | GoodAbout 25 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Some upkeep | GoodAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. | GoodAbout 25 minutes of upkeep a month. |
| Minimal upkeepthey differ | DependsAbout 45 minutes of upkeep a month. Minimal is 30 or less. | GoodAbout 25 minutes of upkeep a month, and the dock empties the bin. |
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.
How far apart is a long way?
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.

What the numbers leave out.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro
This is a flagship-grade mop paired with a mid-pack brush: the dock out-cleans machines twice its price, and the main roller falls behind machines half its price on pet hair.
Structured-light obstacle avoidance caught only 5 of 24 test obstacles, so floors need clearing before a run that a stronger sensor suite would tolerate left alone.
Single rubber main brush: strong on bare-floor debris, prone to hair wrap in shedding-pet homes.
Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
At $549 the R1 keeps the R2’s LiDAR navigation and the same 21,000 Pa suction on the same chassis. What the lower price removes is wet cleaning, not sensing: the R2 adds mop hardware and a washing dock, and both robots map the same way.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro
- Households with long-haired shedding pets
- Independent testing measured 43 percent pickup on flattened pet hair against an 82 percent category average, with 62 percent hair tangling on the main brush versus 26 percent average.
- Cluttered floors left unprepared before each run
- The same testing recorded avoidance of only 5 of 24 obstacles against a 16-obstacle average, so small items left on the floor are more likely to be pushed or picked up.
- Owners sensitive to loud dust-emptying cycles
- One reviewer measured about 70 decibels during the dock's self-emptying cycle, loud enough to be noticed over a television in the next room.
- Tight layouts with narrow furniture gaps
- A reviewer noted the robot's size limits maneuvering around furniture in tightly arranged rooms, a factor separate from its mapping or suction performance.
- Buyers who need aggressive deep-pile carpet agitation
- A single rubber main brush provides less mechanical agitation than a bristle-and-rubber combination brush, a documented design trade-off on thick, deep-pile carpet.
Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
- Anyone who needs mopping in the same machine
- The R1 has no mop hardware at all. Readers who want wet cleaning need the R2 Wash+Dry or the R3 Spot+Scrub UV instead of this vacuum-only model.
- Buyers who want independent test data before paying
- No independent reviews, teardowns or owner reports exist yet. Every published figure, including the 21,000 Pa suction, traces back to Dyson's own launch materials.
- Shoppers comparing on battery or sound figures
- Dyson publishes run time and charge time but no battery capacity, no sound rating and no onboard-bin volume for the R1, so there is nothing to compare on those numbers.
- Large multi-room homes needing guaranteed full coverage
- Dyson does not state that the R1 recharges and resumes an unfinished map, and no coverage figure for big layouts has been tested, so a single run may stop short.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Roborock Qrevo S Pro
- Weekly: Check and refill the 4-liter clean water tank depending on mopping frequency.
- Weekly: Empty the 4-liter dirty water tank after mopping-heavy weeks.
- As needed: Clear tangled hair from the single rubber main brush; independent testing found tangling well above the category average in pet households.
- Monthly: Wipe down the arc-shaped anti-tangle side brush and check for debris buildup.
- Every 3-6 months: Replace the auto-empty dock’s 2.7-liter dust bag (multi-bag packs run roughly $15-25).
- Every 3-6 months: Swap mop pads and filter; third-party kits bundle both for roughly $25-30.
- Annually: Inspect and replace the side brush and main brush if worn (official parts run about $12-16 each).
Dyson R1 Nurovi Dry
- Every 3-6 months: Empty the dock’s bin; the dock is bagless and empties the robot after each run.
- Monthly: Clean the Twin-capture debris separator to maintain suction.
- Monthly: Wipe down and inspect the extending side sweeper for hair wrap.
- Every 3-6 months: Clean or replace the robot and dock filters; Dyson has not published an interval.
- As needed: Clear the anti-tangle brush bar of tangled hair and debris.
- Annually: Inspect wheels and sensors for dust buildup.
How much each of these is standing on.
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.
