The vacuum showed very good cleaning results on various dirt types like salt, rice, cereal, milk, ketchup, pet hair, human hair, and egg, removing most messes in 1-3 passes. The roller's anti-tangle design also proved effective, with very few items getting tangled.

The Roborock F25 Ultra offers four different cleaning modes: automatic, sponge (suction only), hot water cleaning, and steam cleaning.
Moderate agreement · 1 source supports
The hot water cleaning mode delivers water at approximately 50-55°C at the brush roll, which is an effective temperature for dissolving grease and grime without risking damage to floors.

The steam mode reaches about 80°C at the nozzles, which is slightly lower than the advertised 99°C outlet temperature, likely due to heat loss to cold air or surface measurement.

While steam helps sanitize floors, the reviewer cannot confirm if 80°C is effective for sterilization (killing 99.9% of bacteria and viruses) as 100°C is typically required for instant kill, and effectiveness depends on exposure time.
