Technical notes4 sectionsPricing Context
Roborock Q Revo launched at $899 MSRP in 2023. By mid-2024 major retailer retail pricing settled near $499, a reduction of roughly 44%. MSRP remained listed at $899 on the manufacturer site; the gap between MSRP and retail price widened as newer Qrevo-line products occupied the $799-plus price band.
Product Availability
Q Revo continues to be listed as an active SKU at major US retailers. No manufacturer end-of-sale or discontinuation announcement documented as of this entry date. Warranty and support documentation unchanged.
Lineup Displacement Mechanism
Roborock’s product page began foregrounding newer Qrevo-tier variants in search results and category pages. Q Revo remained accessible via direct search and product archive pages rather than category hero placement.
Robot Specification
No hardware revision associated with the price change. Specifications remain: 5500 Pa suction, dual spinning mop pads, 84 Wh battery, PreciSense LiDAR, all-in-one dock.

Technical notes4 sectionsApp Update Scope
Roborock Home app update introduced multi-floor map storage for the Q Revo. Owners can create, name, and switch between multiple saved floor plans. Per-floor room labeling, no-mop zones, and cleaning preferences are stored with each map.
Behavior on Floor Switch
Switching active map requires the user to physically move the dock to the target floor. On first use of a new floor map, the robot performs a short re-localization scan. Subsequent sessions on that floor resume without re-mapping per release notes.
No Hardware Change
Update is software only. Robot and dock hardware remain at launch specification. 5500 Pa suction, dual spinning mop pads, and LiDAR navigation unchanged.
App Compatibility
Feature available in Roborock Home app versions supporting the Q Revo model identifier. Users on older app versions prompted to update before multi-floor options appear in the interface.

WatchingWhether dock reliability holds across high-use households once return rates accumulate.
Bottom lineLaunch delivered documented dock capabilities at the stated price; robot-body specs trail the flagship tier.
