A practical comparison
Roborock Qrevo S5V, S Pro or QV 35A?
Roborock’s Qrevo S5V, Qrevo S Pro and QV 35A all use two spinning mop pads with a dock that empties dust, washes pads and refills the robot’s tank. Their docks and published routines are not interchangeable. If you are comparing them, begin with the chore you want the station to do, then check the robot height, carpet boundary, network and recurring tank work.
Dock washing is the clearest difference
The Qrevo S Pro is the one of these three for which Roborock publishes a high-temperature dock-cleaning figure. Its exact feature-page footnote says the 75°C value is measured at the internal heater output, not at the mop itself. The US product page also lists 45°C warm-air drying. The manual identifies the supplied EWFD24LRR Empty Wash Fill dock. Its removable clean and dirty water tanks, dust bag and cleaning tray still need owner attention; this is not a plumbed station. The 75°C claim does not mean that the pads or their wash water reach 75°C.
The S5V and QV 35A use different EWFD36LRR dock configurations. S5V materials list warm-air drying, tank refill and mop washing but do not give a numeric cleaning-temperature claim. QV 35A’s US page describes cold-air pad drying and does not publish a numeric cleaning-temperature claim. An unspecified value is not evidence that either system meets a chosen threshold. If your requirement is specifically a 75°C water or pad temperature, none of these three is confirmed to meet it; the S Pro's heater-output claim is not a measurement at the mop.
Do not compare suction numbers as if they were lab results
Roborock lists 18,500 Pa for the S Pro, 12,000 Pa for the S5V and 8,000 Pa for the QV 35A. These are the manufacturer’s maximum specifications, not measurements from a shared independent test. They may help you narrow a model by published spec, but do not establish which robot will remove more grit, hair or fine dust from your exact floors. All three use spinning pads; the S5V additionally lists 30 water-flow settings. That may matter if you want more control over how much water the robot uses, but it does not change the dock-wash temperature.
Check carpet and body clearance before choosing
Roborock lists the S Pro at 3.8 inches high; the S5V and QV 35A are also listed at 3.8 inches. A four-inch opening leaves little margin for a rug edge, uneven threshold or sagging fabric, so measure the entire route. None of these heights should be read as an automatic promise to clear a particular piece of furniture.
The S Pro manual says not to use it on high-pile carpet and warns that effectiveness may be reduced on dark carpets. The S5V and QV 35A manuals contain similar high-pile prohibitions and dark-carpet cautions. An automatically lifted mop helps keep an appropriate carpet dry, but it does not cancel a model’s broader carpet restriction. If thick pile is essential to your cleaning plan, do not select one of these machines on the basis of mop lift alone.
Plan for 2.4GHz and for removable tanks
The exact Qrevo S Pro, S5V and QV 35A manuals specify 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only. A 5GHz-only network does not meet the published setup requirement. Each standard dock in this comparison uses removable water tanks rather than a fixed inlet and drain; make sure you have a convenient place to refill clean water and empty dirty water. Their station footprints are not identical, so check the exact dock and reserve the manual’s recommended front, side and overhead clearance before installation.
For a new mopping routine, these manuals recommend vacuuming the floor at least three times before the first mop cycle. Pad cleaning, tank handling and dock-tray cleaning remain regular chores, while the brush and filter need scheduled inspection. The S Pro manual gives two-week brush and filter cleaning intervals and recommends replacing the pads every one to three months. If low upkeep is your only goal, consider whether a mop system is worth these wet-component tasks at all.
Choose the requirement that cannot bend
Choose the Qrevo S Pro if its up-to-75°C internal heater-output claim, warm-air drying and tank-based service suit you, and its 3.8-inch robot fits every required route. Do not treat that heater reading as the temperature of the mop or wash water. Choose the Qrevo S5V if its 30 water-flow settings and warm-air drying matter more than an unlisted numeric cleaning-temperature claim. The QV 35A is another spinning-pad, tank-dock arrangement, with its own published suction and cold-air drying specifications. Compare the exact manuals before using any one of them on dark or thick carpet, and do not treat a missing temperature as a positive feature.
