Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow review: Roborock’s first roller mop robot vacuum is a beast under $1,000

table of contents

Of the 25+ robot vacuum and mop combos I tested, only a few were roller mop robot vacuums. Decision? I wasn’t a disbeliever in roller mops, but I wasn’t exactly a believer either. Although they were excellent at sucking up larger wet messes, both the Dreamy Aqua10 Ultra Roller and the Eufy E28 left me skeptical about how closely a larger roller mop could mop up. In fact Clearing near a wall. But when the Roborock Curevo Curve 2 Flow was announced, my ears perked up. RoboRock was responsible for two of my most recommended robot vacuums over the past few years, specifically for their corner scrubbing capabilities — so if any brand can do roller edge mopping right, it’s RoboRock.

What is special about Qrevo Curve 2 Flow?

Roborock announced three new robot vacuums at CES 2026. The two of them are successors to the flagship Saros robot vacuum that was a big deal last year, making it easy for the Cuervo Curve 2 Flow to get lost in the shuffle. I can’t say the name helps it stand out: There are too many Roborocks in the Qrevo line for the average person to keep track of. And previous Qrevo Curve models weren’t all that different from Roborock’s other existing flagships — other than their sleek, curved self-emptying dock, obviously.

So “Curveo Curve 2 Flow” certainly doesn’t explain why this model is different not only from Curves past, but also from any mopping Roborock we’ve seen: It’s Roborock’s first robot vacuum with a roller mop.

Its 20,000 Pa suction power seems quite reasonable for its $999.99 MSRP. That 20,000 Pa looks even better at $849.99, the Curve 2 Flow’s consistent sale price since its arrival in late January.

For reference, Roborock’s 2025 trifecta – Saros 10, Saros 10R, and Saros Z70 with grabby arm – are negligibly strong at 22,000 Pa, and they were all on at least $500 more than the Qerevo Curve 2 Flow upon release. The roller mop Eufy E28 offers the same 20,000 Pa and is also priced at $999.99, and the Dream Aqua10 Ultra Roller with 30,000 Pa costs $1,599.99 (although it has recently been heavily discounted).

Is Curevo Curve 2 Flow good on carpet?

The Curve 2 Flow tackles debris on medium-pile and thick rugs with ease. As I did while testing the Dream Although the Dreamy vacuum is quite strong with 35,000 Pa of suction power, I honestly think the Curve 2 Flow did just as good a job – both had near-perfect pickup rates. When I got down to eye level to see if the Curve 2 Flow had cleaned up the crushed chips on my tufted living room rug, it was spotless except for a few long hairs.

Perhaps you were so distracted by this wonderful S-shaped cleaning path that your attention was drawn to the USB-C cable in the upper left corner. And no, it was not eaten. The Curve 2 Flow’s little obstacle detection cameras recognized it immediately in the app, and I watched the Botvac safely move around the charger without tipping over. Among other cleanup tasks, a long iPhone charger and an extension cord for a lamp were also marked safe. This is more consistent chord avoidance than we’ve experienced with any other flagship in the last year. A small cloth cat toy that resembles a sloth was identified as pet waste. I’ll take it.

The Curve 2 Flow sometimes leaves a bit of debris on the outside of rugs, especially my cushioned kitchen rug that has a fairly large flap around the edges. But that’s the case with every robot vacuum I’ve tested, no matter how premium. That said, the Qrevo Curve 2 doesn’t struggle at all to transition from hard floors to those on rugs. The Adaptilift chassis essentially consists of a pair of legs. They won’t climb more than a few inches in height, but it really is a great feature to ensure smooth transitions between changes of flooring types, such as on plush carpet or in a door.

Is Qurevo Curve 2 Flow any good at mopping?

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the flexibility of the Curve 2 Flow’s Spiraflow Roller Mop – for the most part, it’s not literally cutting corners as I expected. The roller sits in a sliding case that appears to extend an inch or two beyond the perimeter of the vacuum when felt around the edge. The Curve 2 Flow provided an extremely close scrub against walls, including my bathtub wall, where there were always small pieces of hair and kitty litter dust stuck in the dried soap droplets.

I appreciated the precision of the roller when moving it around a fully upholstered velvet chair. My cat loves to stuff under that specific chair, constantly pushing nearby dust, hair, and catnip particles right under the outer edge. I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen it wiped nearby My cat, Sansa’s tail without touching it.

So far, the Qerevo Curve 2 Flow’s roller mop has thoroughly scrubbed a variety of liquid messes on hardwood in my kitchen and tile in my bathroom. These ranged from extremely watery splashes like red wine and orange juice to thick, sticky consistencies like globs of queso, drops of body lotion and Chick-fil-A sauce. The wet roller also did a wonderful job of mopping up extremely fine powders that suction power and a side brush alone wouldn’t remove, such as kitty litter dust, protein powders, and general dust that accumulates day to day.

The main advantage of the roller mop is its ability to prevent dirt from spreading onto the rest of the floor, whether it’s dirty water or traces of sauce that it was supposed to clean. First, the long fibers on a roller mop are highly absorbent – ​​more akin to a fluffy bath towel than a microfiber cloth, like most rotating mops use. Roller mops are normally a sturdier design than fine rotating mops, capable of exerting stronger downward pressure. Since they’re cleaning away excess elbow grease, most roller mops are self-rinse to ensure every part of the floor is being cleaned with fresh water.

The Curevo Curve 2 Flow only had minor issues with smearing once. To be fair, it was done on purpose Very Mopping up the queso in a single effort – I was actually spooning globs onto the floor for extreme testing purposes. If I spewed this much on in real life, I’d definitely go inside first with a paper towel to blot up the worst of it, then send the robot to clean up and deal with any remaining stickiness.

When I sent the Curve 2 Flow back a second time the hardwood was largely spotless. If you’ve ever tested the cleaning capabilities of an extremely cheap robot mop, you can imagine how ugly it would get.

The dock doesn’t have an automatic detergent dispenser, so you’ll have to manually add your cleaning solution of choice to the water tank when filling. I’m not that worried about a vacancy under $1,000. If you’re sending it after something oil-based, I would make sure to put extra detergent in the tank.

Factors I’m keeping an eye on: Agility in tight spots

The Roborock Qrevo Curve 2 Flow is definitely not a slim robot vacuum. It’s 4.7 inches long, just like the Dreamy Aqua10 Ultra Roller.

Both simply require a taller vacuum chassis to house the larger roller mop and threshold climbing legs. But the Aqua10 Ultra Roller can duck down to four inches when its retractable LiDAR tower is down, while the Curve 2 Flow’s LiDAR tower always stays up. If your home has low-hanging cabinets or low-clearance furniture to clean, you may want to consider compactness.

The Curve 2 Flow is noticeably longer than the 3.1-inch Dream X60 Max Ultra Complete.

I feel like the roller mop prematurely slips near a 90-degree angle, where the Curve 2 Flow can tell it needs to change direction sooner, such as when getting near the edge of the refrigerator that sticks out beyond the shelves. If a leak is buried deep in a corner, a section of it will probably need to be wiped up by hand. If you live in a small space it may be out of date.
