The Roborock QV 35A is a 2025 mid-range robot vacuum that bundles full dock automation — auto-empty, mop wash, mop dry, and tank refill — with 8,000Pa HyperForce suction and a rubber anti-tangle brush rated 0% hair tangle. It sits below the Qrevo Curv and S Pro in the lineup but offers the same hands-off maintenance experience at a lower price, making it the entry point into Roborock's full-service ecosystem in Canada.
“"We only need to refill water every few days, wipe sensors occasionally, and swap the dustbin bag once a month. It's more like a cactus I forget about that thrives on neglect."”

“"Three dogs and I haven't touched scissors once — the anti-tangle brush is the real deal. They pick up so much dog hair the bags go weekly."”

“"The mopping is better than expected for an active household with dogs and hard floors. It genuinely removes footprints and dried spills, not just dampens the floor."”

High-pile carpet cleaning is a recurring limitation — the 8,000Pa suction and 10mm mop lift are insufficient for deep pile, and owners with thick area rugs report noticeably more residue than on hard floors.
Source: Reddit r/RobotVacuumsOwners who land in the QV 35A's sweet spot — hard floors, medium-pile carpet, pets, preference for hands-off operation — repeatedly describe it as the best value at this tier. The full-automation dock, anti-tangle brush, and quiet motor come up more often than any complaint. The limitations are specific: dark floors, high-pile carpet, and a desire for hot-water mop cleaning are the three conditions owners consistently name as reasons to step up.
