Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow Review: The Most Beautiful, Best Robot Vacuum

Roborock’s Curv robot vacuum is probably the most attractive robot vacuum I’ve ever tested. The domed white docking station is attractive, convenient, and compact. It doesn’t hurt that Roborock’s navigation and cleaning systems are consistently the best among the robot vacuums I’ve tested. Roborock vacuums don’t get lost. They clean up all kinds of messes effectively. And they’re beautiful. What more do you want?

It’s been several years since the last update to the midrange Qrevo Curv line (Roborock has spent that time putting arms and legs on robot vacuums, oh well), but the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow was worth the wait. It’s designed mainly for homes with hard floors, with an extra-wide, self-cleaning spinning roller that can exert heavy downward scrubbing pressure. It has scrubbed sticky jelly off my floors. With two kids and a dog, sometimes I run it three times a day in my kitchen. This thing is great.

Roborock’s proprietary name for this mopping system is called SpiraFlow. The large roller—it almost spans the width of the vacuum and extends outward to edge-clean thoroughly—has eight hydration points across it to continuously clean the roller as it mops. A built-in scraper shunts the dirty water into the tank and makes sure that the mop doesn't soak the floor.

The roller rotates at 220 rpm and applies 15 newtons (approximately 3.3 pounds) of downward pressure. In comparison, the Eufy X10 Pro Omni, which I loved, applies about 6 newtons of pressure.

Not only can the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow clean up standard mopping messes, like spilled Campari or flour, but it can also clean up even bigger ones. My daughter spilled a handful of sticky berry compote; I just set a zone into the app and watched the Qrevo clean it up entirely. I didn’t realize a bottle of olive oil was leaking until I stepped in it in my socks and saw that I'd been tracking it all over the floor. The Qrevo took care of it.
