Source verdict

The reviewer concludes that the Roborock F25 Ultra offers excellent cleaning performance, especially with its effective steam mode, is quiet during operation, and boasts exceptional battery life. Minor drawbacks include slight water dripping when moved and some items being scraped rather than vacuumed.

About this source

This review by LiveLab covers the Roborock F25 Ultra wet dry vacuum cleaner, detailing its design, maintenance features, and performance. It includes tests on cleaning effectiveness against various dirt types, noise levels, and battery life across different operating modes.

Review notes

The Roborock F25 Ultra is a highly recommended wet/dry vacuum cleaner for its exceptional cleaning capabilities, especially on stubborn stains with its effective steam mode. The device impressed by vacuuming most egg and shell pieces in two passes and significantly reduced passes needed for dried mud and sugary soda with steam mode. Its noise level remains discreet at 63-64 dB, and battery life is exceptional, lasting 54 minutes in mop mode. However, the steam mode only reached 64°C, not the advertised 180°C, and water temperature in hot water mode was also lower than claimed. If you need a powerful and quiet wet/dry vacuum that excels at tackling dried-on messes and offers great battery life, this is a strong contender. If precise temperature for steam and hot water modes is a critical requirement, look elsewhere.

What the reviewer liked

  • Excellent cleaning performance, especially for egg with shell, rice, cereal, and pet hair
  • Highly effective steam mode for dried mud and sugary soda stains
  • Quiet operation during cleaning (63-64 dB) and silent drying (49 dB)
  • Exceptional battery life, up to 54 minutes in mop mode
  • Anti-tangle roller design for hair and fur
  • Can be used at a 180° angle
  • Thin roller edges for cleaning along baseboards
  • Self-propelled wheels for easy maneuverability despite weight
  • Effective parking mode
  • Hot water self-cleaning process at 90°C and hot air drying

What the reviewer criticised

  • Brush head (10.5 cm thick) is thicker than advertised (8.8 cm) and cannot fit under the lowest furniture
  • Steam mode reaches only 64°C, not the advertised 180°C
  • Hot water mode only reaches 36°C water temperature, not the advertised 86°C
  • A little water drips when moving the vacuum cleaner
  • Some salt was scraped rather than vacuumed
  • Human hair tended to stick to the floor requiring three passes

Structured claims

Despite its heavy weight of 7.2 kg, the Roborock F25 Ultra is fairly maneuverable due to its low center of gravity from the 1L clean water tank and self-propelled wheels that move forward and backward.

reviewer_claimmoderate

The vacuum's brush is 10.5 cm thick, which is thicker than the advertised 8.8 cm, meaning it cannot fit under the lowest furniture, but it fits under most.

reviewer_claimmoderate

The parking mode is effective, allowing the vacuum to stand upright on its own, stopping when placed in position, and resuming the last mode when unlocked.

reviewer_claimmoderate

The thin edges of the roller allow for effective vacuuming along baseboards.

reviewer_claimmoderate

The charging station initiates a self-cleaning process with 90°C hot water for 2 minutes 13 seconds, followed by 95°C hot air drying. After the long drying cycle, the roller was dry, though slightly colored.

reviewer_claimstrong

The steam mode, advertised at 180°C, only reached a maximum of 64°C, and the hot water mode, supposed to reach 86°C, only had water at 36°C and the roller at 31°C.

measurement_claimstrong

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.

reviewer_claimstrong

Steam mode significantly improved effectiveness against stubborn stains like dried mud and sugary soda, reducing passes needed compared to auto mode, although it didn't improve coffee stain removal.

comparison_claimstrong

The vacuum operates quietly at 63-64 dB, which is discreet compared to competitors. The silent drying mode is also very quiet, emitting only 49 dB.

measurement_claimstrong

The Roborock F25 Ultra offers exceptional battery life: 54 min in mop mode, 44 min in auto, 26 min in steam, and 29 min in hot water. A full charge is estimated at 4 hours.

Buyer questions answered

How maneuverable is the Roborock F25 Ultra despite its weight?

Despite weighing 7.2 kg, the Roborock F25 Ultra is made easier to move by its one-liter clean water tank located in the head, which lowers its center of gravity. Additionally, self-propelled wheels assist in moving the vacuum forward and backward, contributing to its overall maneuverability.

Does the Roborock F25 Ultra clean effectively under low furniture?

The vacuum's brush is 10.5 cm thick, which is thicker than the advertised 8.8 cm. This means it can fit under most furniture, but it will not be able to clean under the absolute lowest pieces.

How well does the self-cleaning and drying feature work?

The charging station provides a self-cleaning process for the roller using 90°C hot water for over two minutes, followed by 95°C hot air drying for either 5 minutes (fast) or 30 minutes (silent). After the longer drying cycle, the reviewer found the roller to be dry, though still slightly colored.

Are the steam and hot water mode temperatures accurate as advertised?

The brand claims 180°C for steam mode, but reviewer measurements found a maximum of 64°C. For hot water mode, advertised at 86°C, the water was measured at 36°C and the roller at 31°C. This discrepancy is significant.

What is the general cleaning performance like for common household messes?

The vacuum effectively cleaned various types of dirt, including salt, rice, cereal, milk, ketchup, pet hair, human hair, and even egg with shell. Most messes were removed in 1-3 passes, with the anti-tangle roller design preventing hair from wrapping around it.

Is the steam mode effective for stubborn dried stains?

For dried mud, steam mode reduced the required passes from six (auto) to two. For sweet soda, it reduced passes from twelve (auto) to eight. While it didn't improve coffee stain removal, the reviewer noted that steam mode reveals the vacuum's full potential for stubborn dried stains.

How noisy is the Roborock F25 Ultra during operation and drying?

The vacuum's operational noise level was measured at a discreet 63-64 dB, which is notably quiet compared to competitors. The silent roller drying cycle emitted only 49 dB, making it very quiet.
