Roborock’s Latest Collab With Timothy Goodman Proves That Great Home Tech Is An Art Form

Watermelon and sea salt, a slip dress and sneakers — unexpected combinations that somehow work well together are having a major moment. Well, now we can add cleaning the floors and making art to that list of weirdly perfect pairings.

The Roborock Qrevo Pro (from the number one global seller of robotic vacuums, according to data by Euromonitor) is an intelligent robot vacuum cleaner that has cleaning floors down to an art form. That’s why the brand has teamed up with award-winning artist and graphic designer Timothy Goodman — known for his exuberant paintings and murals packed with words and illustrations — to create a custom piece leveraging the product. It’s proof that great tech and meaningful art can be one and the same. “I’m always interested in partnering with brands who recognize my art and see real potential,” Goodman tells Bustle.

For this project, Goodman used oil-based paint markers to freestyle illustrate on the Roborock Qrevo Pro. In Goodman’s own words: “I love the challenge of drawing on unconventional objects and covering household products with art, because suddenly it redefines how they feel in a space." Throughout the work, he included playful nods to the product’s utilitarian purpose (peep the “dust bunny”) and researched its features long before paint-met-robot for optimal overlap between tech and art. "For me, technology should be the thing that enhances the human story.”

Even if you don’t have the artistic chops to turn your own robot vacuum into a museum-worthy work, there’s still good news in your future: The Roborock Qrevo Pro is the ultimate home-cleaning companion and with Amazon Prime Day coming up, you can snag it — and other models — for a steal (hint: bookmark the brand’s Amazon store now). If you don’t want to wait (who can blame you?), you can grab it right now at Target for a whopping 30 percent off. In the meantime, read on to learn about the features that elevate the Roborock Qrevo Pro from cleaning tool to a design-lover’s dream.

1. It Doesn’t Discriminate Based On Floor Plan

Your home is your castle, and you probably have it decorated in a way that feels unique to you — your first adult couch over there, an illustration of your pet here, and that vintage coffee table that ties it all together. Instead of playing a game of bumper cars with your furniture, the Roborock Qrevo Pro actually respects your design decisions. It's rigged with Reactive Tech Obstacle Recognition, meaning it uses structured light to detect everything from wall mirrors to stray shoes. On top of that, it has built-in navigation that creates a map of your space in real time, so it optimizes the cleaning route — meaning your floors get sparkling, faster.

In addition to furniture, it's got your rugs and carpets covered, too. The vac identifies carpets and rugs and can create a different protocol on the fly; carpets get vacuumed first (even twice, if they’re in need of a deep cleaning) before the vacuum gets to mopping, so there's never any risk of stepping in a wet spot.

2. It Does All The Dirty Work For You

The obvious beauty of a robotic vac is that you no longer have to lug around a big piece of cleaning equipment. But this model comes with other, more unexpected perks, too — namely, it can take care of itself. For one, the water tank automatically refills once it’s back in the dock. It also detects how dirty the mop gets when cleaning your floors, then adjusts the cleaning schedule accordingly (bonus: The product’s dynamic hot water re-wash and re-mop function means your floors will not only be left clean, but also sanitized). The dock washes, disinfects, and even dries the mop for you. (After all, who wants to clean the floor cleaner? No, thanks.)

Best of all, you won't have to worry about emptying the dustbin after every clean: The Roborock Qrevo Pro has an automatic dust-emptying function so you can go over seven weeks before you have to lift a finger. If saving you time is an art, then hang this thing in a frame on the wall.

3. It Solves The Problems Of Other Robo Vacs

Maybe you've tried a robotic vacuum cleaner in the past, only to find that it A) got stuck in that one weird corner near your bed, B) just wasn't powerful enough to handle your mess, or C) both. The Roborock Qrevo Pro takes care of both.

First, the mop is built with a FlexiArm Design™, meaning it actually juts out from the body of the vacuum to tackle corners — covering 98.8 percent of edges. And it's powered by 7,000 Pa, aka super-powerful suction, along with a rubber brush and spinning mop to give your floors a serious scrub.

4. It Actually Communicates With You

With the Roborock app in hand, you can do things like call for on-the-spot cleaning to handle a spill, temporarily skip certain areas if a friend happens to be staying on your couch, or even up the cleaning speed by 35 percent to go in on the floors ahead of a dinner party. You can also use it to customize your cleaning routines, so it goes to work when you're out of the house, not when you’re trying to catch up on your shows.
