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

The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is besides optimized for hardwood floors. SmartPlan had nary occupation automatically distinguishing the tile of my bath and laundry country from the hardwood of my kitchen. However, it occasionally relegated my carpeted surviving country and den to a bittersweet Default status, alternatively than Carpet, and did not assistance the mopping pad. In 2 weeks, I caught the Qrevo mopping the carpet erstwhile oregon twice.

The interior routing to the docking station's particulate container besides appears to person been optimized for liquids, which means that solids, similar canine hair, thin to clump up inside. I forgot to cheque the disposal chute for a fewer days, and it spat retired a clump of canine hairsbreadth the size of a tiny hamster. It's been a portion since a Roborock vacuum has done that to me.

SmartPlan's occasional unreliability made maine a small tense to conscionable acceptable and hide the Qrevo by scheduling a cleaning clip and letting SmartPlan determine everything, arsenic I've done with Roborock vacuums successful the past. However, I did similar that there’s present a dirt-detection diagnostic that Roborock calls, confusingly, DirTect. You tin besides customize and boost the cleaning with a pet-detection feature. It has 20,000 pascals (Pa) of suction, which, portion not the highest suction powerfulness of the robovacs I’ve tested, is plentifulness precocious capable for astir people. (You volition astir apt conscionable bald your carpets if you spell higher.)

Battery beingness is besides not the champion I’ve tested, nor is it the fastest to recharge. (For example, Ecovacs and its much affordable sub-brand, Yeedi, some present person models with PowerBoost exertion that tin apical up to decorativeness a rhythm successful a substance of minutes.) If I commencement a afloat cleaning astatine 9:30 am, it takes until 3 p.m. to finish, with a three-hour recharge rhythm mid-clean. It tin cleanable for astir 1.5 hours if it’s required to bash things similar mopping. It takes astir 140 minutes to cleanable 850 quadrate feet.

Probably the astir important consideration, though, is that the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is brand-new and retails for $1,000. For the past respective years, I’ve been saying that $1,500 is astir the median outgo for a brand-new robot vacuum, and this is considerably good nether that mark. And it's presently connected merchantability for $850 until February!

While they’re amusive for investigating and making videos, I'd skip the flashier, pricier stair-climbing and arm-waving models for now. This coagulated midrange vacuum is each that you truly need, astatine a terms that you won’t person to refinance your location to afford.
