2026 verdict

The S5V is cheaper and holds a 2.7L dock bag versus 2.5L, with spinning pads instead of FlowWash. Both map with LiDAR and self-empty while washing and drying their mops. Get the Narwal Flow for Matter and the self-rinsing track mop; get the Roborock Qrevo S5V when the lower price still buys a complete 12000Pa wash-and-dry dock.
