For people with predominantly hard floors, however, it’s fantastic.
It feels especially well built too, and I have every confidence in its reliability for years to come.
The F25 Ace is the range-topping model in Roborocks latest F25 series of wet-dry vacuums.
The JawScrapers help remove debris from the roller head during cleaning.
How many models it sits above depends on where you live.
Australia gets just two F25 models, with the Ace sitting just above the standard F25.
What does this range-topping model offer over its lower-specced siblings?
The self-clean cycle is especially effective and, with the right prefs activated, quiet too.
In my case, it held enough water to complete two full cleans and two self-clean cycles.
At $549.99 / AU$999.99 its competitively priced compared to its closest rivals.
The latter can regularly be picked up at a discount however, especially during major sales events.
There are several other models within the F25 series depending on where you live.
Roborock says the filter and roller head should be replaced every 12 months at the latest.
A spare filter is supplied, but not a roller.
The company says you should only use its own solution with the F25 Ace.
There are various pieces of protective packaging to remove but, otherwise, thats all there is to it.
The clean-water tank maxes out at 740ml, which is less than the S7 Pros 850ml capacity.
Its also smaller than other models in the F25 series, which get a larger 870ml water tank.
Where Roborock says the F25 Ace differs from other floor washers is the design of the roller head.
It features what the company calls JawScapers 141 3mm-long comb teeth positioned behind the roller.
It conveys information via icons only, which took me a few uses to wrap my head around.
you’re free to adjust the level of motorization in the app between Mild, Moderate and Intense.
The JawScrapers help remove debris from the roller head during cleaning.
The Intense setting, however, will pull you along for a ride.
The added motorization makes the machine feel lighter than its 4.7kg weight would suggest.
Another feature found on the F25 Ace is an automatic detergent dispenser.
Another swipe over these areas took care of the remaining suds.
So my expectations from the F25 Ace were high going into testing and it didnt disappoint.
Thanks to the aforementioned SlideTech wheels, I found it incredibly easy to move the machine around my home.
The F25 Ace has 20,000Pa suction power, so was evidently able to vacuum even the smallest of particles.
The design of the roller head on the F25 Ace ensures it can get closer to edges.
But, for dry spills in the center of the floor, I have zero complaints.
This really isnt an issue as the roller is very effective at mopping, leaving no puddles behind.
If the floors remain too wet for your liking, you could reduce the water-flow rate via the app.
Roborock promises that the F25 Ace will leave floors streak-free, but I dont completely agree with that claim.
Theyre not so noticeable that it bothered me too much, but its not exactly fulfilling the promise.
The quality of the roller itself also seems to be very good because, even after several uses.
The washing part of the self-clean cycle is quite noisy.
I used a decibel meter app on my phone and recorded a maximum reading of around 75dB.
The drying, however, registered a pleasant 55dB that Roborock calls Quiet Drying.
Of course, this is only if you’ve got the option to hear the prompt.
you could empty the dirty-water tank while the roller head is drying to save on time.
It didnt have any effect on the cleanliness of the floor.
One feature I found utterly superfluous was the remote control mode.
While the roller turns when being remote controlled, I didnt see it doing any cleaning at all.
you might change the language of the voice prompts within the app or adjust the volume level.
I assume the power required to complete the clean uses up more battery than it receives from the dock.
Should you buy the Roborock F25 Ace review?
A more useful LED display would be nice, though.
Don’t buy it if…
Your floors are carpeted
It may seem obvious, but the Roborock F25 Ace only works on hard floors.
If your home is predominantly carpet, youll want to look at other vacuum cleaner models.
It costs more at full price, but can now regularly be picked up at a discount.
