Roborock F25 Ultra: High-Tech Wet-Dry Cleaner with Smart Features, But Can It Tackle Tight Spaces?
  • The F25 Ultra is positioned as a premium wet-and-dry cleaner with smart app integration and self-charging, but its large size and limited ability to clean in corners may limit use in smaller spaces.

  • Performance notes indicate a 30-minute drying cycle and a maintenance routine that involves removing dirty water and detangling debris; the unit can be heavier when the tank is full, affecting handling.

  • Smart sensors and features include DirTect Smart Sensor for adaptive cleaning, tangle-free technology and JawScrapers to reduce water marks and manage cables, with an app that handles setup, custom settings, and post-cleaning drying controls.

  • Cleaning capabilities boast up to 22,000 Pa suction, a 302°F steam blast, and 187°F hot water across four modes (auto, sponge, steam, hot-water), with auto mode suited for most tasks; however, corner access is limited and it sits about 4.92 inches tall, hindering under-furniture clearance.

  • Pricing places the F25 Ultra at $799.99 normally, currently on sale for $599.99; steam and hot-water options add value for deep cleaning, while bulkiness and corner-cleaning limits temper the overall value and appeal.

  • The F25 Ultra marks Roborock’s entry into a new wet-and-dry vacuum lineup unveiled at IFA 2025, reflecting the brand’s ongoing push beyond traditional robot vacuums.

  • Mobility features include 180-degree Lay Flat access for tight spaces, automatic wheel movement for easier maneuvering, and an app-based control system that supports dirt detection and cleaning intensity adjustments.

  • Design details show the F25 Ultra weighing about 21.38 pounds and measuring roughly 10.43 by 9.69 by 43.15 inches, constructed from ABS plastic, anodized aluminum, and polycarbonate, with a dock for self-charging and automatic start.

  • Battery life is advertised up to 60 minutes, but real-world use reveals higher energy draw when using hot-water and heavy tanks; the unit includes a charging dock and separate water/dirt tanks, with water refills typically needed after about three uses and a fuller tank making the vacuum feel heavier.
