Roborock's Qrevo 2 Pro and Qrevo Curv 2 are leading the early Prime Day sales for robot vacuums, according to WIRED's resident vacuum tester.
Since its launch last month, the Qrevo 2 Pro has been on sale twice, currently priced in the $500 range, a significant drop from its original price.
WIRED's tester, who evaluates robot vacuums daily with the help of a sand-covered 4-year-old and a litter-tracking cat, recommends these models for their powerful suction, app control, and mop capabilities.
ZDNET, which has tested dozens of robot vacuums, also highlights Roborock as one of the best brands in the market, noting that the current deals are among the best seen in a long time.
October Prime Day, scheduled for October 6 and 7, is expected to offer significant savings on high-priced electronics, including robot vacuums.
The Dreame L40 Ultra Gen 2, with its 25,000Pa suction power and hands-free cleaning, is another top choice for those looking for a powerful robot vacuum.
For those who have been using outdated robot vacuums, WIRED's tester advises that modern models offer advanced features such as mapping and app connectivity, making them a worthwhile investment.
What this adds
Wired's resident vacuum tester has changed the lives of multiple friends by recommending modern robot vacuums.

The deals on robot vacuums are part of a broader trend of early October Prime Day discounts on tech products.

What's still developing
- Roborock has finally started updating its more affordable Qrevo line this year after a period of inactivity, and the Qrevo 2 Pro is my favorite vacuum I've tested from the brand so far.
- If you've had the same cheap robot vacuum from years past that can't map your home or connect to an app, you're missing out on everything robot vacuums actually have to offer.
- Especially since most models can double as a mop and can detect where they should mop and where they should only vacuum.
- Still, this is a good price for a powerful robot vacuum that packs 20,000 Pa of suction, easy app control, and an extendable mop arm that helps it get into tricky corners.
