Overview
The Roborock E25 Robot Vacuum is a low price vacuum cleaner with advanced technologies. This robot vacuum uses a motor of 1800 Pa, a battery of 2600 mAh to generate enormous suction power.
One of the greatest benefits of Roborock E25 is the path cleaning mode. The path cleaning mode is very efficient and predictable more than random cleaning mode used by most of the entry-level robot vacuum.
This is one of Roborock’s older models, so it is harder to find, but you can often get it a good price compared to newer robot vacuums. However, it is up to you decide whether it makes more sense to go for one of Roborock’s robot vacuums with more upgraded technologies.
Key values
The Roborock E25 has a lot of key features of a high-end model such as automatically recharge and resume working, 6 cleaning mode, the long run time (up to 100 minutes), auto boost on carpets, mopping feature, App control.
On the downsides, Roborock E25 does not support map saving like high-end models. This feature helps the robot to perform more efficiently, and the users can have better customization (set virtual walls, choose area cleaning and more)
At a retail price of around 300 dollars, Roborock E25 and its sibling model (Roborock E20) are a worthy investment for cleaning large apartments.

When it first came out with the price of around 300 dollars, Roborock E25 had the strongest configuration and it is incorporated with advanced features (path cleaning, automatic resume, carpet boost). The robot has the wet-mopping feature and HEPA filter suitable for a lot of cleaning tasks.
