Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow review for mid-size homes

Gizmodo called the roller the most powerful mop it has seen on a robot, and it left corners and edges inconsistent. I'd buy it for a hard-floored home of about 700 to 1,200 sq ft (65 to 110 m²), if the sofa clears it.

Before anything else, get a tape measure and check under your sofa. Gizmodo puts this robot at 4.7 in (12 cm) tall, among the tallest it has seen, and it couldn't reach under a couple of Gizmodo's low cabinets.

Clear that, and I'd consider it for a home of about 700 to 1,200 sq ft (65 to 110 m²) with mostly hard floors. That range is my opinion, and it goes above Gizmodo's, whose test home was a small apartment. I haven't used this robot, and the results below come from Tom's Guide and Gizmodo.

The list price Abt shows is $999, checked November 2, 2026. The rated suction is 20,000 Pa.

The mop is the reason to buy it

Gizmodo calls this Roborock's first roller mop, 10.5 in (27 cm) wide. It presses down at 15 newtons, more than twice the old pad system, and a scraper funnels dirty water into a tank on board.

Gizmodo left BBQ sauce, milk, mayo and jerk sauce to dry for two hours. The robot took the mayo and milk on one pass, then went back for the BBQ sauce on its own and got most of it. Gizmodo says it cleaned deeper than any earlier robot it had tried.

Tom's Guide had a rougher start. Out of the box, it saw streaks across a kitchen floor, because the default water level sits at 5 out of 30. It says raising that to 20 or 25 should fix it, and it then rated the mop as solid. So change that setting on day one.

The catches are real. Gizmodo says you can't choose a mop-only mode, which is odd for a robot built around its mop, though Tom's Guide says it switches to one by itself for big spills. Tom's Guide also misses a separate detergent tank, so you measure cleaner into the water yourself.

Vacuuming and edges

Tom's Guide scored it 89.5% overall in tests with Cheerios, kitty litter and pet hair. It took 97.5 out of 100 for Cheerios and litter on carpet. Pet hair was weaker, at 70 on hardwood and 80 on carpet, so a heavy shedder should note those.

Corners are the flaw both reviews agree on. Neither side brush extends, and Gizmodo saw about 1.5 diagonal inches unswept in corners. Mop edges were erratic in its home: half an inch from the wall on some runs, 8-inch gaps on others. Tom's Guide found the mop's reach near edge to edge but still missed some corners with the brushes. I'd keep a stick for edges.

Obstacles are mixed. Gizmodo's robot ate a black USB-C cord and a black sock. Pick up cables first.

Thresholds are a question mark. Gizmodo says it clears 4 cm (1.58 in), and Abt's listing gives no figure, so that's one source. Measure your door sills.

Which home it suits

Battery decides the upper limit. Gizmodo's 650 sq ft (60 m²) apartment got done in one pass on the gentler modes. Vac-then-mop at high power barely finished on a charge. If it doesn't finish, recharging takes nearly three hours, and Gizmodo says that could be a dealbreaker for larger homes. I don't have a timed figure for a bigger floor, which is why I stop at about 1,200 sq ft (110 m²).

RoboVacGuide, a single affiliate site whose bands are a rule of thumb, recommends a self-emptying dock above 700 sq ft (65 m²). This dock does that, and it also washes the mop at 167°F and dries it at 131°F, according to Abt. It needs room, though. Tom's Guide lists it at 17.7 in (45 cm) on each side, so measure the spot. Abt rates the dock at 70 dB while it empties the tank and 56 to 57 dB during mop washing and drying, and rates the robot at up to 65 dB while it runs. I'd keep it away from a bedroom door.

Skip it if:

  • Your furniture clearance is under 4.7 in (12 cm) and you want the robot under there.
  • You're in a one-bedroom under 500 sq ft (46 m²). Gizmodo thinks it may be all a small apartment needs, but I think you'd pay for a dock you barely need.
  • Your home is mostly carpet, since you'd rarely use the roller.
  • You want a robot that replaces a stick along the edges.

If the dock's shape or the mop scores give you doubts, read how it compares with the Eufy Omni E25, or see my robot picks by home size. The product page has the rest of the specs, and the home sizer takes your own floor area.
