In a world with many robot vacuums competing against one another; Roborock has proven with the Qrevo Curv that there’s still plenty of room for innovation in the robot vacuum and mopping space.
First announced at IFA 2025, Roborock’s Qrevo Curv made waves for being the first-ever robot vacuum that can lift itself over obstacles.
Packed with standout features and insanely high suction power, this vacuum/mop combo exemplifies how advanced design and usability can transform the cleaning experience. From its unique articulating arms that clean hard-to-reach areas to its dual-roller system that minimizes tangling, the Qrevo Curv isn’t just another robot vacuum—it’s built to tackle the most demanding tasks with ease.
It also features intelligent cleaning modes, precision mapping, auto-emptying, hot water mopping, and heated drying, enhancing both convenience and performance. Paired with the intuitive Roborock app and an elegant, minimalist dock, this device not only performs exceptionally but also seamlessly integrates into any home.
Design
The Roborock Qrevo Curv features the most elegant and minimalistic docking system we’ve seen for a vacuum-mop combo. When the shipping box arrived, we doubted whether a dock was even included. It’s much shorter and sleeker than typical docks, making it less of an eyesore in the home. While those new to auto-empty docks might still find it large, its glossy white finish blends well with walls, and the gray base almost aligns with baseboard moldings.
The dock has a smooth, seamless look, almost like an oversized Apple AirPod case. If not for the small portion of the vacuum exposed at the bottom, it could easily be mistaken for a modern garbage bin.
The lid on top opens to reveal three hidden compartments: clean water, dirty water, and the waste bin. These canisters are easy to pull out, empty, and refill, with an LED strip on the dock indicating when attention is needed.
For even more convenience, Roborock offers a smaller dock model that connects directly to water and drain lines, reducing the need for frequent refills. Sadly, this model is only available in certain regions and not the US, yet.
The Qrevo Curv vacuum itself has a familiar circular shape but boasts standout design features. On top, there’s a raised LiDaR sensor for precise navigation, while its sides house a camera and sensor array for enhanced obstacle detection. Its unique “FlexiArm” side brush and mopping pad allow it to reach tricky corners with ease. Additionally, the dual-roller main brush minimizes hair tangling.
The AdaptiLift chassis, which can raise the vacuum by 10mm, ensures smooth transitions across different surfaces. Both the mop and main brush can lift independently, allowing it to adapt to varied floor types and obstacles with ease. These thoughtful design elements set the Qrevo Curv apart from typical robot vacuums.
App
The Roborock app for the Qrevo Curv stands out as one of the best we’ve used, combining ease of use with a range of advanced features. Unlike other apps—like EcoVac’s, which, while capable, often feels buggy and cluttered with ads—the Roborock app is refreshingly intuitive and reliable. It makes discovering and managing the vacuum’s numerous capabilities straightforward. Getting started is seamless, and even the default settings were so well-tuned that we didn’t feel the need to customize them for the first few weeks.
Mapping and scheduling are the app’s standout features. Customizing schedules for different rooms is effortless, allowing you to set cleaning preferences, create no-go zones, and even name and dimension rooms. The app does a great job of automatically detecting room layouts and even floor types, but you can always refine this further.
Thanks to the intelligent cleaning modes, the app can help automate most of these decisions, like determining when and where mopping is needed. We set up a custom schedule that mops certain rooms less frequently, helping us avoid constantly changing the water bins. This blend of automation and flexibility really helps you make the most of this vacuum.
Features
The Roborock Qrevo Curv is jam packed with features. Some play a vital role in improving the cleaning experience, and some are a bit more questionable. The differentiating features worth getting excited about are the hot water mopping (113 degrees Fahrenheit), the articulating brush and mop, the lifting abilities to navigate different terrain, the advanced mapping, the obstacle avoidance, the innovative dual brush to reduce hair tangling, the smart home integrations (Google, Alexa, and iOS!), and the helpful maintenance reminders.
The potentially less useful features are the built-in voice assistant “Rocky” and the built-in camera. While Rocky mostly works, you’ll probably be happier using your current voice assistant. I was easily able to train Siri with commands like “Clean the Kitchen” or “Stop Cleaning”.
With the camera, you can patrol your home, find your pet and take photos, and even have a 2-way call with whoever is near the vacuum. Maybe pet owners may find this useful, however we personally don’t get much value from it.
You can tune in to the camera feed while the robot is cleaning, which is potentially useful if you hear it struggling. There’s manual controls for driving the robot, but they’re not great. The flip side of this feature is that you need to be comfortable with an extra camera and microphone in your home.
You can’t cover or turn off the camera since it’s used for obstacle avoidance, but you can at least keep the feature software-disabled. To address the “creepy” factor, the vacuum regularly announces when someone is remote viewing. The camera quality is fairly good, but standing people are mostly out of frame unless they are far from the vacuum.
Maintenance
Roborock designed the Qrevo Curv to minimize maintenance and keep it simple. The most frequent task is emptying and refilling the water bins, done a few times a week, or every day depending on your space and cleaning preferences. We’d opt for the model with automatic water hookups for filling and draining if available in your region and possible to install. One interesting finding is that the dirty water bin doesn’t smell funky like our EcoVac models did.
The app alerts and reminds you when parts need attention. We don’t spend more than 5-10 minutes per week on maintenance. The filter lasts 150 hours and should be cleaned every two weeks. The main brush is still tangle-free after a month and runs for 300 hours, while the side brush is good for 200 hours. Sensors need an occasional wipe, and the cleaning tray should be rinsed monthly. The mop and dust bag are replaced as needed, with an extra dust bag included. We’d prefer no “dust bag” and instead have a washable tray where we can inspect the debris before disposal.
Our robot usually doesn’t get stuck more than once a week, if even that. You’ll quickly figure out what gets the robot stuck and work around it, whether it’s avoiding leaving certain things on the floor (your child’s blanket) or adding no-go zones.
Unfortunately, as with all of these robot vacuums, parts need to be replaced eventually. You’ll be on the hook for replacement filters, brushes, mop cloths, and vacuum bags. This shouldn’t cost more than $100/year, especially if you’re okay with 3rd party replacements from Amazon. It’s also impossible to tell how long the battery will last, which may be more difficult to replace.
Performance
The Roborock Qrevo Curv excels in performance, combining powerful suction and innovative features for a comprehensive clean. Boasting a remarkable suction power of 18,500 Pa, it easily outperforms most robot vacuums, effectively picking up dust, dirt, and pet hair from both hard floors and carpets, including fine particles.
Its articulating arm is a standout feature, allowing precise cleaning in corners and along edges—areas where standard vacuums often struggle. This design enables the Qrevo to gracefully navigate obstacles like chair and table legs effortlessly, ensuring no tight spots are missed.
In addition to precision, the Qrevo Curv prioritizes gentleness. Its sensors detect obstacles and adjust the vacuum’s path, preventing collisions and minimizing damage to furniture or delicate surfaces. There’s a handful of settings for avoiding obstacles so you can fine-tune your preferences. Despite its gentler approach, the vacuum maintains strong performance that picks up any noticeable debris.
The built-in mop function further enhances its versatility, allowing for simultaneous vacuuming and mopping with optimal pressure for different floor types. Qrevo has the smarts to know where, when, and how often to mop. It lifts its mops on the carpets and has automatic “remopping” if it detects a stain needs more attention. It does well with most every day build-up, including even sticky wine stains.
There’s certain stubborn grime where Qrevo doesn’t have the weight or pressure to clean up, but it still can help loosen it up for you to do manually. The 167°F (75°C) hot water plays an important role in getting a better, and more hygienic, clean. Roborock sells a multi-surface cleaner that’s safe to use with Qrevo.
Noise
Typically, scheduling is key with these vacuums since they aren’t pleasant to be around. I usually can’t be in the same room (or floor) as a robot vacuum. The Qrevo Curv is noticeably quieter than the other premium EcoVac vacuums I’ve been using. My family was quick to call this out too. The noise is soft enough that it’s tolerable to be in a room being cleaned. The Qrevo Curv on its max suction setting is less noisy than our Ecovac Deebot X2 Omni’s quiet setting.
Qrevo also has over twice the suction power of Deebot’s 8,000 Pa. From the other side of the room, it was under 50db on the max suction setting. The superior navigation and object detection helps keep the noise down since the vacuum isn’t constantly bumping into things.
Bottom line
After testing the Qrevo Curv we’ve realized that the Qrevo Curve isn’t just about first-of-its-kind innovations – it’s also an outstanding robot vacuum/mop combo.
Having reviewed many robot vacuums and mop combos, we’ve seen significant advancements in this technology over the years. Previously, our top pick was EcoVac’s T20 Omni for its power and features, but while the Roborock Qrevo Curv doesn’t drastically outperform it in cleaning, it excels in usability with its intuitive app and sleek dock. The Curv’s quiet operation, dual-roller system minimizing hair clogs, and articulating arms are very well appreciated features.
That said, the $1,599.99 price tag marks it as a substantial investment. Despite its high pricetag, the Qrevo Curv has been the most effective and least frustrating vacuum/mop combo we’ve tried, particularly with its customizable precision scheduling. We’d love if the drainage model with water hookups were available in the US, as the need to regularly change the water bins has been our only real drawback.
Ultimately, the Roborock Qrevo Curv sets a new benchmark in the robot vacuum and mop market, competing fiercely with heavyweights from EcoVac and Eufy. With its remarkable suction power, innovative design, and user-friendly app, it offers a superior cleaning experience that is hard to match. While it carries a premium price tag and still necessitates routine maintenance, its performance and customization options make it a standout choice for anyone looking to elevate their home cleaning game.
If you’re ready to invest in a cleaner that excels where others falter, the Qrevo Curv is a compelling contender that delivers on both innovation and effectiveness.
