Roborock F25 GT Review: Tested in a Real Family Home (2026)
The Roborock F25 GT standing upright. It has quickly become one of the cleaning tools I use the most in the kitchen and corridor.

I already knew Roborock could make excellent cleaning products. I reviewed the Roborock Saros 10 in the past, and I still love it. But the F25 GT is a very different machine. This is not a robot vacuum that quietly does the work in the background. This is a wet and dry vacuum cleaner you use by hand — and after testing it properly at home, I've been seriously impressed.
In fact, I now use it more than the Saros 10 in some areas of the house, especially the kitchen and corridor.
With Amazon Prime Day here, it's a great time to grab one — discounts of more than 30% off make an already excellent machine even better value.
Here's my honest review after weeks of real family use.
Quick Verdict
The Roborock F25 GT is one of the best cleaning products I've used at home. The vacuum power is very good, the mop feels strong, and the floors are left genuinely clean. It vacuums and mops at the same time, which saves a proper amount of time in a busy household.
It's especially good for kitchens, corridors, and family homes where you want to clean quickly without getting the mop bucket out. The dock is practical, the machine stands neatly, and the whole experience feels simple once you get used to it.
The one real downside: cleaning the dirty water container is disgusting. If you leave it for a few days, it can smell really bad. Empty it after every proper use — you'll thank me later.
How I Tested
- Location: A real family home — not a showroom. Kitchen, corridor, and hard floor areas where dirt builds up quickly.
- Mess tested: Shoes, food crumbs, wet marks, dust, and the general chaos of a busy household.
- Second opinion: My wife runs a cleaning business. She knows very quickly when a product works properly and when it's just another gadget.
- Cleaning solutions: Tested with the official Roborock solution and a third-party alternative. Preferred the Roborock one — better smell, better clean.
- Compared against: The Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum, which I've used extensively.
Roborock F25 GT Review
The first thing that impressed me with the Roborock F25 GT was how useful it became almost immediately. Some products feel interesting when you first unbox them, but then slowly disappear into a cupboard. This was not the case here. The F25 GT quickly became part of my normal routine, especially in the kitchen and corridor.
Those are the two areas where I use it the most. The kitchen always needs attention — crumbs, small spills, marks on the floor, and that general dull look you get after a day of family life. The corridor is the same, especially when people walk in with shoes, bags, school stuff, or after the dog has been outside.
With a normal vacuum, you clean the dust and bits from the floor, but you still need to mop afterwards. With the Roborock F25 GT, you do both at the same time. That is the big advantage.
The controls on the Roborock F25 GT are simple and easy to understand. You do not need to spend ages learning how to use it, which is exactly what I want from a practical cleaning product.
The vacuum power is genuinely good. It does not feel weak or decorative. It picks up dry mess properly, but the real strength of this machine is the way it combines vacuuming and mopping in one movement. The mop is not just a light wipe. It feels strong enough to clean properly, and that makes a big difference. After using it, the floors look spotless. Not just slightly fresher. Properly clean.
This is where I think the F25 GT makes the most sense. It is not trying to replace every cleaning tool in the house, but for hard floors, it is extremely useful. If you have a busy kitchen, a hallway that gets dirty quickly, or a home with children and pets, it saves time.
I also like the way it stands on its dock. It feels tidy and easy to live with. You do not have to lean it awkwardly against a wall or hide it away somewhere. It has its place, and that makes you more likely to use it regularly.
The cleaning solution also matters. I tested the official Roborock cleaning product, and I also bought another solution made for wet and dry vacuum cleaners. Both worked, but I preferred the Roborock one. It smells better, and I felt it cleaned better too. It left the floor feeling fresher without being too strong or artificial.
Now, the downside.
The dirty water tank is easy to remove, but this is also the least enjoyable part of using any wet and dry vacuum cleaner. Empty it regularly, because if you leave it for a few days, the smell can be pretty unpleasant.
The dirty water container is horrible to clean. There is no elegant way to say it. After cleaning your floors, all the dirty water goes into that container. If you empty it straight away, it is not too bad. But if you leave it for a few days, the smell can be genuinely unpleasant.
This is the part of the Roborock F25 GT I do not enjoy at all. Emptying and cleaning the dirty water tank is not something you look forward to. It is messy, it smells, and it reminds you very quickly of everything the machine has picked up from your floors.
But to be fair, this is not really a Roborock-only problem. It is part of the design of this type of product. A wet and dry vacuum cleaner uses water to clean dirty floors, and that dirty water has to go somewhere.
So my advice is simple: empty and rinse the dirty water container after every proper use. Do not leave it sitting there for days. I learned that quickly.
Apart from that, I struggle to find anything seriously negative to say about the F25 GT. It does what I wanted it to do, and it does it very well. It has made cleaning the kitchen and corridor much easier. It has reduced the need to vacuum first and mop afterwards. It feels powerful, practical, and genuinely useful in a real home.
This is where the clean water and cleaning solution go. As you can see, when you have a dog at home, as we do, this area can attract a lot of hair and dust. It is not a big problem, but it is worth wiping it regularly to keep everything clean.
Final Verdict
The Roborock F25 GT is an excellent wet and dry vacuum cleaner. It vacuums well, mops properly, and leaves hard floors looking spotless.
It is especially useful for busy family homes, kitchens, corridors, and anyone who wants a faster way to clean hard floors without using a separate vacuum and mop. The only real downside is the dirty water container. Cleaning it is disgusting if you leave it too long, and you need to make peace with that before buying this type of machine.
But even with that flaw, I think the Roborock F25 GT is incredible. I use it more than I expected, and in some areas of the house, I now use it more than my Roborock Saros 10. For me, that says everything.

Why You Can Trust This Review
I tested the Roborock F25 GT in a real family home — not a showroom, not a controlled test environment. My wife runs a cleaning business and has a very practical eye for whether a product actually cleans properly or just looks good. Her honest opinion was part of this review.
Roborock sent me the F25 GT for review, but all opinions are my own and the brand had no input on this article. I don't recommend cleaning products I wouldn't use in my own home.
FAQ
-
Empty it after every proper use (if you can)— don't leave it sitting for days. Rinse it thoroughly with water, and occasionally use a mild cleaning solution to stop smells building up. It's not a pleasant job, but doing it straight away makes it far less disgusting.
-
For hard floors, yes — and it does a better job because it vacuums and mops at the same time. You won't need a separate mop and bucket for your kitchen or corridor. For deep cleaning grout or scrubbing stubborn stains, you might still want a manual option, but for everyday cleaning, the F25 GT handles it.
-
The Saros 10 is a robot vacuum — it works autonomously in the background. The F25 GT is a manual wet and dry vacuum that you use by hand. I use the F25 GT more in the kitchen and corridor because it gives a deeper clean on hard floors. The Saros 10 is better for whole-house maintenance without any effort. They complement each other rather than compete.
-
I've never run out of battery during a full kitchen and corridor clean. Roborock claims around 35-40 minutes of runtime, which is more than enough for hard floor areas in a typical home. The dock charges it quickly between uses.
