Will the QV 35S fit under my furniture?

The robot stands 3.8 inches tall, so it slides under many sofas and cabinets. Its dock is larger at 20.5 inches tall and 13.4 inches wide, so plan space near an outlet.

Can it clean specific rooms and avoid certain areas?

Yes. No-Go Zones let you block off spots you want left alone, and multi-level mapping stores layouts for up to 4 floors so it cleans the right space every time.

How does it protect carpet while mopping?

The mop lifts up to 10 mm off the floor when the robot detects carpet. Smart Carpet Cleaning triggers this automatically so rugs stay dry during a mixed cleaning run.

How hands-off is the maintenance?

Very. The dock automatically empties the robot's dustbin, washes the mop pads, refills the water tank, and collects dirty water, so daily upkeep is minimal.

Does it handle long hair and pet fur without tangling?

Yes. The single rubber main brush includes anti-tangle design, which helps hair feed through instead of wrapping around the roller in homes with shedding pets.

How long does it run before recharging?

The 5,200 mAh battery delivers up to 180 minutes of cleaning. For larger homes, it returns to the dock, recharges, and resumes where it left off.

The good

Pros

LiDAR navigation ranks among the top 18% of models for accurate mapping.
Dual spinning mop pads actively scrub floors with 30 adjustable moisture levels.
180-minute runtime covers large homes with recharge-and-resume support.
Auto-empty dock, mop washing, and tank refilling keep upkeep truly hands-off.
Stores maps for up to 4 levels, ideal for multi-story houses.
Voice control works with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple.

The trade-offs

Cons

10,000 Pa suction trails the strongest models for deep-carpet cleaning.
Mop pads spin at only 200 RPM, softer scrubbing than higher-end systems.
Cleaning performance lands mid-pack compared with similarly rated robots.
Warranty covers just 1 year.

How the numbers stack up

Performance vs the category

Suction of 10,000 Pa is on the modest side (category median 15,000 Pa).
Runtime comes in at 180 min, on the modest side (category median 200 min).
Threshold clearance of 20 mm is about average for the robots we track (category median 20 mm).
At 64 dB, noise is about average (median 64 dB).

Who it's for

Owners of multi-story homes with mostly hard floors who want a genuinely hands-off cleaner. It suits people who value precise navigation and a dock that empties, washes, and refills on its own.

Who should skip it

Homes packed with thick, high-pile carpet that needs deep suction and aggressive scrubbing will want a more powerful model built around carpet cleaning rather than hard-floor mopping.

The bottom line

Our take

The QV 35S leans hard into automation, with precise LiDAR mapping, a self-cleaning mop, and a dock that handles most chores for you. It shines in multi-story, hard-floor homes. Carpet-heavy households wanting maximum suction and scrubbing should look elsewhere.
