Roborock vs Eufy Robot Vacuums: What Owners Say After 6 Months

Roborock vs Eufy โ€” a real owner comparison. Who handles pet hair better, who has better app support, who lasts longer.

Built from owner feedback โ€” Reddit threads, Amazon reviews, and forum posts. No brand relationships, no paid placements.

The Roborock Qrevo S and the eufy BoostIQ RoboVac 11S sit at opposite ends of the robot vacuum market on price โ€” a roughly $780 CAD gap separates them โ€” but the score gap has closed, and reversed. The eufy 11S now carries the higher ClearPick score, 6.5 to the Qrevo S's 5.4, even though the Qrevo S still has more capable navigation hardware on paper (LiDAR mapping, camera-based obstacle avoidance, a fully automated dock). Owner-quote coverage is thin and one-sided here โ€” six mentions logged for the eufy, none yet for the Qrevo S โ€” so the Roborock side of this comparison leans on its verified subscores, pros, and cons rather than direct owner quotes.

Navigation: more capable hardware, a lower current subscore

The gap here is not what the hardware spec sheet would suggest. The Qrevo S combines LiDAR navigation with camera-based obstacle avoidance, and its own product pros credit it for handling vacuuming and object avoidance well, "especially against comparable models." But its current Navigation subscore is 5.6/10 โ€” lower than the eufy 11S's 6.0/10 โ€” and its cons flag app/mapping and lidar-sensor issues, including a hair-related sensor failure reported by an owner. The 11S has no app, no WiFi, no mapping, and cleans in a random bump-and-clean pattern rather than a systematic grid โ€” a real, acknowledged limitation in its own cons data. On paper the S's navigation technology is more advanced; on the current, sentiment-adjusted subscores, that advantage does not show up.

Price and value: a $780 CAD gap, and where it actually goes

The eufy 11S sells for roughly $220 CAD against the Qrevo S's roughly $999 CAD โ€” call it a $780 gap. The 11S earns the single highest subscore anywhere in this comparison for it: a 9.5/10 Value score, versus the Qrevo S's 4.7/10 Value subscore, the lowest score the S posts on any axis. Its pros data backs that up with concrete reasons โ€” at under 3 inches tall it fits under furniture bulkier vacuums cannot reach, it runs quietly enough for overnight use, and it self-charges on a schedule without any daily input. What the price gap buys on the Roborock side is still, on paper, the dock: the Qrevo S's multifunction dock empties the dustbin, washes and dries the mop pads, and refills the water tank automatically, a genuine hands-off capability the 11S does not have. But on the current data, that capability is bundled with more owner complaints and a lower overall score, not fewer.

Long-term reliability and upkeep

The eufy 11S's six logged mentions split 3 positive, 2 negative, and 1 mixed. On the downside, one owner reported the beater bar bearing failing first and needing a full teardown to replace, and another flagged a lack of available replacement parts, joking it might be "worth more dead than alive" for salvageable pieces. On the upside, multiple owners describe years of working reliably with only a cheap battery swap needed to keep it running. The Qrevo S's own mention sample is much larger (13) and skews far more negative (8 negative, 3 mixed, 2 positive) โ€” see the dedicated Qrevo S owner-report guide for the full breakdown, but the short version is mop-system leaks, a stuck mop pad, and re-localization glitches reported well into ownership. Neither product is maintenance-free, but on raw sentiment the 11S's smaller, more balanced sample currently reads better than the S's larger, more negative one.

Who Itโ€™s For

What owners actually say

What buyers love

โ€œBoth performed admirably for a few years then were mothballed for reasons. When I got them back out neither will take a charge. Battery replacement is cheap and easy and hopefully all either needs before they start wandering about your home sucking up unwanted debris.โ€

r/PDXBuyNothing

โ€œUntil recently, it worked well for us. I was able to keep the cables organized enough and the house generally tidy enough for it to work. ... It was a good thing for a few years. It's working well right now as I just did a few repairs and maintenance.โ€

r/Tools

โ€œThe battery needs replacing (ยฃ15 on Amazon for a replacement. They tend to last between 1 and 2 years I find.)โ€

Common complaints

Beater bar bearing fails first

Can confirm that the beater bar bearing does fail first. Need to take everything apart to replace it. Fun.

r/Tools

No replacement parts available

It may be worth more dead than alive since we can't buy repair parts, post the pieces that still work on Ebay!

ClearPick Verdict

These two no longer split as cleanly as 'expensive-and-better vs. cheap-and-basic.' The eufy 11S currently posts the higher ClearPick score (6.5 vs. 5.4) and wins every one of the five product subscores tracked here, including navigation โ€” a reversal from this page's earlier framing, driven by the Qrevo S's heavily negative-leaning Reddit mention sample (8 of 13 negative) pulling its sentiment-adjusted score down. The Qrevo S still has more capable navigation and dock-automation hardware on paper โ€” LiDAR mapping, camera-based obstacle avoidance, self-emptying and self-washing โ€” and its own pros data credits it for handling vacuuming and object avoidance well. But on the current, sentiment-informed data, that hardware is not translating into a higher score or better owner sentiment than the $780-cheaper eufy. Buyers who specifically need mapping, zone cleaning, or hands-off dock maintenance should still look at the Qrevo S, with eyes open about its current mention sentiment. Buyers who do not have a specific reason to need that hardware have the stronger owner-backed case with the eufy 11S right now โ€” it is both cheaper and currently better-reviewed.
