Unboxing & Setup
Inside the box, you’ll find everything you need to get started:
- Power cord
- Spare washable filter
- Cleaning brush

Setting up the F25 is a breeze. Simply snap the handle into place, charge it up, and fill the clean water tank. Now, it’s time to get cleaning!
Performance & Features
The Roborock F25 is priced about $100 below the average competitor, yet it still brings impressive features to the table.
Suction & Noise Levels
- Delivers 20,000 Pascal suction, which is well above average. However, real-world suction and airflow are slightly lower than some competitors.
- Noise levels peak at 83 dB, which is technically louder but not noticeably disruptive.
Battery & Water Tank Capacity
- The battery life is nearly double the average wet-dry vacuum.
- It features large clean and dirty water tanks, reducing the need for frequent refills and emptying.
Maintenance & Usability
- The self-cleaning function ensures easy maintenance.
- A 5-minute quick-dry function uses 194°F hot air, the highest temperature we’ve seen in a wet-dry vacuum.
- The same hot water temperature is used for mop washing, enhancing cleaning efficiency.
- Smart dirt detection automatically adjusts suction and water flow based on mess levels.
- Lightweight and flexible design makes maneuvering effortless.
- The 180° lay-flat feature is a game-changer, allowing you to clean under furniture easily.
- Dual-edge cleaning ensures precision along trim and baseboards.
What’s Missing?
While the Roborock F25 is packed with great features, there are a few things missing that we’d love to see in future models:
- No LED light for better visibility in dark corners.
- No self-propelling technology, though it moves easily on its own.
- No steam cleaning, which isn’t expected at this price point but would be a great addition.
- No auto shut-off when stood upright, which is a small but noticeable inconvenience.
- No exact battery percentage display, making it harder to track charge levels precisely.
- No dedicated solution tank, meaning you’ll have to mix cleaning solution directly in the clean water tank.
Final Verdict
The Roborock F25 is a feature-packed, lightweight, and well-priced wet-dry vacuum. Its hot air drying, hot water washing, and flexible lay-flat design make cleaning effortless. While it lacks some premium features like LED lights, a battery percentage display, and an auto shut-off function, its overall performance and value make it a solid choice for anyone in the market for a wet-dry vacuum.
