Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Imou RV1 Pro

  • Strong 4500Pa suction power that handles pet hair, crumbs, and deep carpet dirt effectively
  • Convenient self-emptying base station that holds dirt for weeks of hands-free cleaning
  • Simultaneous vacuuming and mopping capabilities in a single run
  • Fast and precise LiDAR laser navigation that prevents hard collisions with furniture
  • Automatic carpet boost feature that increases suction power dynamically
  • User-friendly mobile app that allows multi-floor map storage and scheduling
  • Relatively quiet operation even when cleaning on higher suction modes

What customers don't like about Imou RV1 Pro

  • Stardust and long hairs occasionally clog the self-emptying channel, causing false 'bag full' alerts
  • Does not send a notification or warning when the mopping water tank runs dry
  • Initial pairing can be difficult because the device only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks

Verdict

The Imou RV1 Pro is a smart 3-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that delivers 4500Pa of suction power paired with a V-shaped roller brush, a 300ml dustbin, and a 250ml electronically controlled water tank. Guided by an efficient LiDAR laser navigation system, the device quickly builds up to 3 storable maps and intelligently provides an automatic carpet boost when moving over rugs, while its auto-empty station offers up to 7 weeks of hands-free dirt disposal from its 3L dust bag. Driven by a 3200mAh battery that yields up to 110 minutes of runtime, its major pros include efficient multi-floor mapping, seamless app-controlled customization for no-go zones, and highly autonomous self-emptying and resuming capabilities; however, notable cons include its strict requirement for a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection, a lack of automated app notifications when the clean water tank runs empty, and occasional struggles to fully clear heavier debris spills in a single pass.
