It rates 36,000 Pa against 12,000 Pa, runs up to 190 minutes against 180, and adds both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth, where the Qrevo S5V is 2.4 GHz only. The Saros 20 Sonic also supports Matter, so it reaches Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant on top of Alexa and Google Home, and its dock empties, washes, dries and doses detergent on its own. The Roborock Qrevo S5V is the cheaper pick with a larger 325 ml bin against 228 ml, and owners still rate it quiet, hands-off and good on pet hair. Buy the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic for the suction and the wider connectivity, and the Roborock Qrevo S5V if the lower price leads.

What the differences mean

Suction

36,000 Pa against 12,000 Pa. The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic is the far stronger cleaner on carpet and embedded hair, while the Roborock Qrevo S5V is comfortable on hard floors and low rugs.

Connectivity

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth for setup. The Roborock Qrevo S5V is 2.4 GHz only, which complicates pairing on combined dual-band routers.

Smart home support

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic supports Matter, so it works with Apple Home and SmartThings as well as Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant. The Roborock Qrevo S5V has no Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter.

Runtime

The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic is rated for up to 190 minutes against 180, a small edge that still matters on a large single floor between recharges.

Onboard bin

The Roborock Qrevo S5V carries the larger bin here, 325 ml against 228 ml, even though the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic is the more capable robot overall.

What owners say

Owners of the Roborock Qrevo S5V describe a robot that reduces weekly upkeep to refilling water and emptying the dirty tank. They highlight the suction and anti-tangle brush for pet hair, and buyers upgrading from older or basic robots say it finishes faster, gets under furniture more surely and runs quietly enough for daytime or overnight use. The criticism that repeats is the app's mapping and room editing, which some call rough and limited, and the need to move the whole dock for a second floor. Mopping is treated as everyday maintenance rather than deep cleaning, and heavier shedding needs higher suction and bin settings than the defaults.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
