roborock F25 GT Gen 2 review

20,000 Pa, 194 °F drying and nine pounds, for hard floors only.

Where this ends up Twenty thousand pascals and nine pounds at a hundred and seventy dollars — the same price as the corded Bissell whose roller turns nearly seven times faster. Its ninety-four degree drying is the hottest on this shelf.

What the maker puts in writing

  • “With 20000Pa suction and 450 RPM spinning, this cordless wet dry vacuum cleaner easily lifts pet hair, spilled cereal, kitchen grease, and bathroom grime”
  • “The dual edge scraper and curved comb prevent clogs while delivering a smooth, even finish”
  • “After cleaning ceramic or concrete floors, the 194°F high temperature system melts away gunk, while hot air drying keeps the roller brush odor-free”
  • “Weighing just 9 lbs, with 180° lie-flat reach and 70° swivel steering, this floor cleaner fits under couches, beds, and cabinets”
  • “Assistant wheels and balanced weight design reduce fatigue during long cleaning session”
  • “perfect for hard floors, including tile, vinyl, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank (LVP), laminate, and linoleum floors”
  • Catalog: 3992 g (140.8 oz) · 221 × 1092 × 262 mm (8.70 × 43 × 10.3 in)

Two numbers, and they point in different directions

This listing publishes both of the figures that matter on this shelf, which almost nothing else does:

20,000 Pa of suction — joint highest here, with its two roborock siblings. The DREAME H12 PRO publishes 16 kPa; nine of thirteen listings publish nothing.

450 rpm roller speed — and this is the lowest of the three figures published. The dreame FloorX 110 Plus publishes 600 rpm; the corded Bissell CrossWave Turbo, at the same $169.99, publishes 3000 rpm.

The two do different work.

Suction lifts water, hair and loose debris back off the floor. It is why the bullet can list “pet hair, spilled cereal, kitchen grease” credibly.

Roller speed breaks the bond between a dried mark and the tile. No amount of suction does that.

So the honest division: for fresh messes, pet hair and a daily pass, this is the better machine and it has no cord. For a dried splash or a floor left a week, the Bissell has seven times the mechanical advantage — and also does area rugs, which this does not.

A hundred and ninety-four degrees, which is the real quality here

“the 194°F high temperature system melts away gunk, while hot air drying keeps the roller brush odor-free.”

The roller is what goes wrong with these machines. After a floor it is a damp sleeve of fabric holding grease and hair, and dried only by air it grows mold and smells within days.

194 °F is 90 °C — the sibling F25 LT publishes the conversion — and that is above what most household bacteria survive.

The shelf’s spread:

roborock F25 GT, XT, LT — 194 °F (90 °C) dreame FloorX 110 Plus — 149 °F (65 °C), warm rather than sanitizing DREAME H12 PRO — “hot air”, no figure Tineco S5 — centrifugal, spinning the water out mechanically: fast, sanitizes nothing the rest — nothing published

What this listing omits is the time. Both siblings publish a choice: the F25 XT “fast in five minutes or quiet in 20 minutes”, the F25 LT “5 min… or a tranquil 30 min”. A twenty-minute dryer is audible in a flat, which is why the quiet options exist.

The scraper and the comb, which solve the two real problems

“a sleek flat blade for perfect water control and a clever comb design that captures hair.”

Two parts, two failures.

The blade squeezes the roller as it turns, so water goes into the dirty tank rather than back onto the floor. That single mechanism decides whether you walk away from a dry floor or a streaked one — and only the Tineco iFLOOR 2 puts a number on the outcome anywhere on this shelf: “up to 90% water recovery rate”.

The comb strips hair continuously. Hair wraps a spinning roller and then nothing else comes off it, which is the complaint of every household with a dog.

Both siblings back the anti-tangle claim with outside testing — the F25 XT and F25 LT cite “SGS and TUV certifications” for it specifically. A third-party test of a marketing claim is unusual and worth more than the claim. This listing does not cite them, though the hardware described is the same.

The rivals make the same promise in their own words: Ultenic “high-density comb teeth”, OLIXIS “tangle-free brush roller technology”, Bissell CrossWave Edge “Tangle-Free Technology”, DREAME H12 PRO nothing.

Nine pounds, and the catalog agrees

“Weighing just 9 lbs.”

Nine pounds is 4082 g (144 oz); the catalog publishes 3992 g (140.8 oz). Those agree, which is worth saying because this shelf does not always manage it — the Ultenic claims “just 8.05 lbs (3.65kg (8 lb))” and publishes no catalog weight at all.

Where that places it:

Shark 1515 g (the disposable-pad machine) · Tineco iFLOOR 2 3801 g · this 3992 g · roborock F25 LT 4173 g · F25 XT 4672 g · OLIXIS 4708 g · DREAME H12 PRO 4808 g · Bissell Turbo 4990 g · dreame G10 Pro 5080 g · dreame FloorX 5262 g · Tineco S5 7879 g

So this is the second-lightest full roller-washer here, behind the Tineco iFLOOR 2, and the Tineco S5 at the top of the shelf is nearly twice its weight.

The articulation figures support it: 180° lie-flat to go under a sofa, 70° swivel to steer round a chair leg, plus assistant wheels and a “balanced weight design”. Three listings on this shelf drive themselves — the Tineco iFLOOR 2 with a “self-propulsion system”, the Ultenic with a “self-propelled motor”, and the F25 XT with “AI-assisted wheels” — and on a machine this light, assistance matters less than on a five-kilo one.

Hard floors, and the list is specific

Tile, vinyl, hardwood, luxury vinyl plank, laminate, linoleum.

A longer and more precise list than most here, and the inclusion of LVP is useful — it is the floor most people now have and the one most likely to be damaged by standing water.

What is absent is area rugs. Only the two Bissells on this shelf claim them: the CrossWave Turbo is titled “Hard Floor & Area Rug Cleaner” and the CrossWave Edge says “it even refreshes area rugs”.

Everything else here is hard floors only.

What is not published

No runtime, which on a cordless machine is the figure you most need. The dreame FloorX and Ultenic publish 60 minutes; the dreame G10 Pro, OLIXIS and DREAME H12 PRO publish 35. All three roborocks here say only “long-lasting battery”.

No drying time, where both siblings publish two modes each.

No tank volumes. The OLIXIS alone publishes both — 0.35 L clean, 0.5 L dirty — and the DREAME H12 PRO publishes “900ml” without saying which.

No coverage figure — and that is no loss. The three published on this shelf do not survive arithmetic: dreame FloorX 3600 sq ft in 60 min = 60 a minute, Ultenic 2700 in 60 = 45, OLIXIS 560 in 35 = 16. Sixty square feet a minute is one square foot per second for an hour, which is head width times walking speed rather than cleaning.

No water recovery rate, which only the Tineco iFLOOR 2 gives.

No edge-clearance figure, where both siblings publish 1 mm and “Triple Edge Cleaning”.

The questions we hear

Twenty thousand pascals against a Bissell at the same price — which wins?

It depends entirely on what is on the floor, and the two listings publish the figures that decide it. This one leads on suction: "an impressive suction power of 20,000 PA", the joint highest here with its two roborock siblings, against 16 kPa on the DREAME H12 PRO and nothing at all from the other nine. The Bissell CrossWave Turbo, at the same $169.99, leads on roller speed: "3000 RPM" against this machine’s "450 RPM spinning" — nearly seven times. Those two numbers do different jobs. Suction lifts water, hair and loose debris back off the floor, and it is why this machine handles pet hair and spilled cereal well. Roller speed breaks the bond between a dried mark and the tile, which suction cannot do at any pressure. So: fresh messes, pet hair, daily passes — this, and it is cordless. Dried-on sauce, set mud, a kitchen floor left a week — the Bissell, and it has a cord. The Bissell also does area rugs, which this does not.

Why does 194 °F matter?

Because the roller is the part that goes wrong, and heat is what prevents it. After washing a floor the roller is a damp fabric sleeve holding grease and hair, and left merely dried it grows mold and smells within days — the real failure mode of this whole category. This listing publishes "194°F high temperature system melts away gunk, while hot air drying keeps the roller brush odor-free", and its sibling the F25 LT converts the figure: "194℉ (90℃)". Ninety degrees is above what most household bacteria survive. For comparison, the dreame FloorX 110 Plus dries at 149 °F — 65 °C (149 °F), warm rather than sanitizing — and the DREAME H12 PRO says only "hot air". The Tineco S5 does something different: "centrifugal drying effectively removes water from the roller", spinning it out mechanically, which is fast and sanitizes nothing. What this listing does not give is a time, where both its siblings do — the F25 XT offers "fast in five minutes or quiet in 20 minutes" and the F25 LT "5 min... or a tranquil 30 min".

What do the scraper and comb actually do?

They are the answer to the two things that stop a wet roller working, and the listing is specific about which is which: "a sleek flat blade for perfect water control and a clever comb design that captures hair". The blade squeezes the roller as it turns, so the water goes into the dirty tank instead of back onto the floor — which is what decides whether the floor is dry or streaked behind you. Only one listing on this shelf quantifies that outcome: the Tineco iFLOOR 2 publishes "up to 90% water recovery rate". The comb strips hair from the roller continuously, because hair wraps around a spinning roller and then nothing else comes off it. Two siblings publish independent verification of that claim — the F25 XT and F25 LT both cite "SGS and TUV certifications" specifically for the anti-tangle design, which is a third-party test of a marketing promise rather than the promise alone. The Ultenic makes the same claim with "high-density comb teeth", the OLIXIS with "tangle-free brush roller technology", and the Bissell CrossWave Edge with "Tangle-Free Technology".
