What you can expect from the Roborock Qrevo Curv
What testers say about the Roborock Qrevo Curv
For anyone wanting one robot that looks after itself and copes with high thresholds, it remains one of the safest choices.
The Roborock Qrevo Curv is an all-in-one robot with two spinning mop pads of which one extends, a split anti-tangle main brush, an extending side brush and a lifting chassis for thresholds up to 1.6 inches. The rounded station empties the bin into a bag, washes the pads in 167 °F water and dries them with hot air. TechRadar names it the best robot vacuum for most people, RTINGS the best upper mid-range model, and Vacuum Wars kept it at the top of its own top 20 for a while.
TechRadar praises the suction that convinced in every test, including carpet full of pet hair, the reliable navigation and obstacle recognition that let you leave it to itself, and the ease with which it climbs tall thresholds. Vacuum Wars measured 86 percent of the embedded sand out of carpet, tied sixth of more than a hundred robots at the time and better than the pricier Qrevo Master and S8 MaxV, and saw the new brushes handle hair better than the previous generation. Both testers rate the mopping as above average.
The reservations are mild: with its lidar turret the robot is on the tall side and does not fit under all low furniture, the station does not dose detergent and there is no water-line hookup. TechRadar notes the equipment is more than some homes need, and the first place at Vacuum Wars has since gone to newer models.
