Roborock - Qrevo CurvX

You should look at a Roborock. iRobot has been going down hill for years and is on the verge of bankruptcy and Shark is universally panned as terrible robot vacuums. The three brands to look at are Roborock, Dreame, and Mova. If you aren't worried about price, Roborock Black Friday deals mean you can get one of their two top of the line robots (the Qrevo Curv X or the Saros 10R) for pretty decent deals at $850 and $1,050 respectively. I just got the Curv X and after a day of sending it around the house I really like it. Roborock is considered some of the best customer service so that should be important for you.

I am torn between your Roborock CurvX ($899) recommendation and the Roborock Edge ($949), so not a significant difference in cost. The docking station on the CurvX is absurdly huge (and looks like cheap plastic). My layout requires me to place the dock on visible areas. Coming from another Roborock S model that had never been an issue. Are the extra features and performance of the CurvX that much better than the Edge? Power suction is already high on the Edge, I only see the retractable lidar as a difference, is there anything else?

Q revo. Which.... give the stats table might not make sense, but its the most reliable of the three, which i've tested.

Don't get a MOVA. Subpar hardware. Between the Curv and Curvx, I'd favor the x for the upgrades.

I think most people in this subreddit would agree that the key things in a robot vacuum are solid hard-floor cleaning, reliable pet-hair pickup, and predictable navigation. In my experience, the Roborock CurvX and Dreame L40 Ultra handle edges, thresholds, and obstacles well and don’t need much babysitting. For multi-floor or pet homes, they’re just much less frustrating day-to-day than most other models. for someone with more specific needs, [this comparison table](https://technoranks.com/compare-products/?compareids=2392,1907) might help.

The best robots I've had so far are the Roborock Qrevo Curv and Qrevo Curvx that I use on a daily basis. Roborock is just consistently good and they are my default brand now. The curvx got off to a rough start that required a reset and two remaps but it finally got it together. I had a Dreame X50 Ultra that died on day two and a Aqua10 Ultra Roller that was beyond terrible with tons of issues and their support was horrid so I won't be inclined to try them again. I had a eufy x10 omni pro and it was okay until it wasn't and right after that I tried a Samsung Bespoke jet bot ai and it went crazy on its first cleaning run and died in the hallway. I also had a shark matrix and it was okay until it went crazy spinning against the couch in the living room.

In my experience Roborock is the more reliable brand. Recently I've had a Dreame x50 ultra and aqua10 ultra roller and they had terrible performance, the x50 died on day 2 and the aqua couldn't even navigate my dining room or follow the schedule among other things. Dark colored rugs and mats trip up the Dreame sensors causing them to error. Battery life is an issue on the newest brushless Dreame models. Do you have any thresholds that the robot would be required to cross? Most robots can cross from hard flooring to carpet and back without issue. Thresholds that are taller than 1" can trip them up if they don't have the ability to lift their chassis. Tiered thresholds can only be crossed by this type of robot. If you have ramps only the Dreame app will let you mark it on the map. I've seen people create a ramp in the Roborock app by setting invisible barriers to create a path to it. IMHO the Roborock app is miles ahead of everyone else even though it lacks ramps and the ability to rotate the map. Currently I have a qrevo curv and qrevo curvx and they are the best robots I've ever had. I run them daily splitting the house between them. Research whatever model you decide to get so you understand the maintenance required for it. Good luck with whichever one you choose.

I had one for a week and it was terrible. It wouldn't follow the schedule, navigated poorly especially when it had to use its own light and kept stalling on or near dark colors generating an error forcing someone to physically rescue it. It could never navigate my dining room and would get confused underneath the table/chairs and would leave the room without barely cleaning anything. Mine also used more water washing the mop than it did actually cleaning the floor not to mention the poor battery life. I contacted tech support and they were not very helpful so I sent it back. Two weeks earlier I had a x50 ultra and it died on the dock on day two so it went back. Earlier this week when Roborock put their curvx on sale I grabbed one and don't regret it. I also have the 2024 curv and run two bots splitting the house. Both of them do everything very well. My biggest complaint with their app is that I cannot rotate the map which I've hit up tech support about and they said they'd pass it along to their app team. As you can see the obvious with its performance the question is are you willing to pay for a machine that performs like that. I really wanted it to work but realized that what I had was all that I was going to have. Best of luck to everyone who has one.

I've had a Roborock Qrevo Curv for over a year and its been a great robot. In fact its the best robot vacuum/mop I've ever owned. It follows the schedule and doesn't have issues navigating the house, especially the dining room which has tripped up every Dreame robot I've tried (x50 ultra and aqua10 ultra roller). I had to send the curv in for a wheel issue and the side brush stopped turning and they turned it around in two weeks. I've since added a curvx so I can use two robots for daily cleaning but its only 2 weeks old now and too new to give an accurate report on its performance. I bought both directly from the roborock store as I can get an extended factory warranty along with a military discount.

I have a curv and just ordered the curvx from the roborock store because I get a military discount on top of the current discount. The curv has been the best robot I've ever had and I expect the curvx to be even better. The x is currently on sale for $899.99 through the 8th. I'm going to run two robots just because I can. 😝 Really though I'm trying to reduce cleaning times and wear level the machines. IMHO the Roborock app is the best one hands down. FYI Roborock uses brushless motors too. Yesterday I had my first tangle on the main brush when a piece of sewing thread wrapped around the end of the brush at the mounting point forcing me to manually untangle it. Otherwise things go to the center of the brushes and get sucked up which is what the gap is for. I also had to send it in for repair and it took 2 weeks to get it back. They did a great job fixing it and even gave me new mop pads and mounts. I tried the dreame x50 ultra and aqua10 ultra roller both of which were a great disappointment. The x50 died on the dock on its 2nd day and the roller errored out stalling in place near or on dark colored mats and rugs, couldn't navigate around the dining room, wouldn't obey the schedule, bumbled around instead of confidently navigating around the house and used too much water washing the mop. The app is also not very good. The mova line is a cheapened down version of the dreame models. Both lines have an issue with draining the battery and you can google that for yourself. There are many places you can go to read reviews and see tests. Vacuum Wars is a great resource and I like Just A Dad because he shows you the robots from a personal perspective but don't just look at one reviewer because there are many sources that are biased towards a particular brand. Vacuum Nerds also provide useful information. Personally I'm waiting on those Roborock robotic lawn mowers that are supposed to come to market early next year.

I don't think they would go wrong with either one. I opted for the curvx over the 10r as I'm going back to two units so it will split cleaning duties with my 2024 curv. The x has a retractable turret making it just as short as the 10r plus it has a up facing sensor for the times its operating underneath furniture in addition to the lidar being able to see out the back while retracted.

If you're so concerned about your privacy go to the the store and buy a broom w/dustpan, mop w/bucket and a manual vacuum and be done with it. My curv has been the best robot I've had by far notifying me when it encounters an obstacle identifying it on the map and if I click on the icon I get a picture.

X50 ultra died on the dock on day 2 but when it was working the battery drained fast and navigation was sporadic. Sent it back and got an aqua10 ultra roller that would error out when approaching dark colored rugs and mats stalling forcing a person to physically rescue it. Mop cover generated random errors which would stall it out and again someone would have to go rescue it. It also suffered from rapid battery drain like the x50. Unit could not navigate in the dining room using its own lighting and had poor navigation around the house overall. Used more water cleaning the mop than actually cleaning the floor. Tech support was less than helpful so back it went. My Roborock 2024 Qrevo Curv has been the best robot I've ever had. Navigation is great and it is consistent day in and day out. Its even better than the upgraded model I have the curvx.

I've had two bad robots from Dreame back to back, x50 ultra and aqua10 ultra roller, so I would lean towards the edge with its larger tanks since you don't have any carpets. Personally I run a 2024 curv and a 2025 curvx and they are great robots but for a single mopping robot tank size matters.

I have a curv and a curvx and if the original curv is that cheap then its a no brainer.

Have you taken the time to research any of this for yourself? We can recommend anything but ultimately you are the one paying for it so you don't want to be misled by anyone. Just A Dad, Vacuum Nerds and Vacuum Wars are great resources to help you with your search where you can observe the different models in action to help you decide how their performance aligns with your expectations. I've had robots from all 3 brands and Roborock has been the best hands down. I currently run a qrevo curv and a curvx and they have been the best robots I've ever owned.

I've never had an L40 so I cannot comment on it. I did have a X50 ultra and an aqua10 ultra roller both of which were terrible machines and is how I ended up buying a curvx.

I considered a 10r but top mounted lidar still does a better job of navigating which is why I bought the curvx. It has the same low profile when the lidar retracts plus its lidar still operates in the retracted state not to mention it also has an upward facing sensor to see while its underneath furniture. There are plenty of videos showing how the arm on the z70 is more of a novelty than a functional feature plus it takes up space that takes away from the dust bin.

Its a proven fact that some of the best cleaning robots do not possess the highest pa ratings. My 2024 curv has 18.5k and my curvx has 22k and both do very well with particle pickup. I had a Dreame aqua10 ultra roller with 30k and it couldn't do as well as they do.

I would recommend the qrevo edge for its large tanks as its a curv with a different dock. I just went through two dreame flagships, x50 ultra and aqua10 ultra roller and they were hot garbage. Poor navigation, poor battery life, cheap construction and poor support are just some of the issues I faced while having them. Dark colors make them error out and low light conditions will cause navigation issues. I currently have a 2024 qrevo curv and 2025 qrevo curvx as I run two robots to clean the house every day on a 3 schedule cycle each. Roborock's app is the best and the Dreame app is buggy and laggy to use. Duo divide brushes will not tangle, the dreame double roller will tangle and it doesn't pick up as well as normal vacuums even with a higher pa rating. Just a dad, vacuum wars and vacuum nerds offer lots of videos for you to compare different models. No robot is perfect but Roborock is like the Toyota of robot vacuums.

I chose the curvx over the 10r because the top mounted lidar does a better job of navigating.

I have a curv and a curvx both of which mop on a daily basis and I think they do a better job than the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller I had before because they will get up against the wall and go under furniture, cabinet overhangs and the dinette set in the kitchen without losing their way. Their docks have a dirt sensor that will send them back out if the water is too dirty after mopping.

Check out the Roborock Qrevo Curvx. I’ve had it for a week now and it’s perfect. It does exactly what you are looking for.

It picks up hair very well (I have 4 cats and 2 daughters with long hair and so do I) and it doesn’t tangle around the brush, which is a BIG pro for me. It pulls up the mops when there’s a carpet and it vacuums it very well. I still have to try one carpet that always attracts lots of fluffy white cat hair though, I’ll let you know how it handles that.

I don’t know anything about the curv or Mova, but I’ve had the Curvx for two weeks now and I’m SO happy with it! It can handle pet hair, our own hair and it doesn’t get stuck in the brush like it did with my old robot vacuums (my two daughters and me all have long hair), carpets and the mopping is really good. There’s even a lot less dust and hair in other places now that I use it almost every day. There’s not even one negative thing that I can think about. It does its job while we are sleeping and I have lots more time for other things. I have to say I don’t have any thick carpets though… so maybe someone else can tell you something about that.

How tall are the thresholds? Most can handle 2cm with no issue but only the x40 ultra (24mm) and the QRevo Curv/Edge (30mm for a single threshold, 40mm for two consecutive thresholds that are 30mm +10mm) handle higher. Otherwise, you’d have to use a ramp

Generally: Dreame will have the best edge cleaning. This is on the x30 ultra and newer with the L/X40 ultra and newer models having an extendable side brush with the best extension algorithm right now. Mop extension lacks a spring which means it can ride up on quarter round floor moldings if your home has any. Roborock Saros 10R and the QRevo Edge/Curv are nice choices if there are no cables or pet accidents for it to eat. Narwal is a very solid option. The Freo Z ultra has the best smart cleaning mode. It’s okay taking care of things like hair and visible dust but still isn’t as good as vacuuming as it is at mopping. Eufy s1 pro is a very solid mopping option. Won’t edge clean as well as the above models but mops pretty well.

Bald dogs 😂 You asked this at just the right time when anti-tangling tech has essentially matured in robot vacuums. Dreame (DuoStream or TriCut brush), Narwal (conical brush), and roborock (DuoDivide) offer great antitangling solutions for their main and side brush. It’s become cheaper too as this feature has matured.

How tall is the piece of transition? For a single one up to 30mm, the roborock models with the AdaptiLift chassis (the most expensive QRevo Curv/Edge and the Saros line). Anything higher up to 4.2cm, if a threshold is less than 9cm long (5.2cm if it is at least 9cm long), will need the Dreame X50 Ultra or any equivalent MOVA model (V50 Ultra). I am aware that Dreame's L/X50 Ultra and any model (such as MOVA's V50 Ultra or the rare UK-only Dreame L40s Pro Ultra) that uses dual conical brushes has a *live fur compression* feature (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOOU0uJsVdU), which helps mitigate the issue of pet fur clogging the dustbin, even though the space isn't fully utilized. I saw it in action, and I think it lives up to its claim. It also cleans its filter when auto-emptying. This should be helpful for homes with heavy shedders such as yours\~ For paw prints, I think a robot that can identify messes like this and act accordingly would be important too. Dreame and Narwal do well with this if you turn on certain functions, such as their smart cleaning mode and intelligent mess detection.

This is definitely not exclusive on the ecovacs X9 pro omni. Ecovacs is late to this feature. Models that can do this well: Dreame’s L/X40 Ultra and newer (assuming there’s an RGB camera), Narwal Freo Z Ultra; Roborock Saros series and CurvX, MOVA P10 Pro Ultra, P50 Pro Ultra, Z50 Ultra, V50 Ultra

Most high end robot vacuums have learned to avoid this area with some models marking it as “furniture likely to get stuck on”. If the chairs’ horizontal legs are shorter than 3cm, both the roborock models with Adaptlift and the Dreame X50 Ultra/MOVA V50 Ultra will lift themselves to get over it. If higher than 3cm, only the dreame X50 Ultra and the MOVA V50 Ultra can cross it.

If you’re in the US, I don’t really see a reason to spend that much unless you want to try the Roborock CurvX which can exert up to 12N of mopping pressure like the Narwal Freo Z Ultra but firmware means it goes too fast when mopping over stains when it should slow down. Other than that, I think is a solid top of the line robot. You could also try out the eufy E25/E28 for another roller mop. If you want the most aggressive corner/edge cleaning, dreame/MOVA will be better. Some dreame/Mova models like the X50 Ultra will be better for cleaning its own filter but has its own issues with battery life.

Bigger dustbin + good use of dustbin when it comes to fur (no empty space should be in the dustbin when fur clogs it) + frequent autoemptying = better for dealing with hair and fur. For a vacuum only model, the roborock Q5 Max+ and the Q8 Max+ have a sizeable dustbin and uses the dustbin space well and has an autoempty station. The dual rollers help with fur pickup. In the US Dreame’s L/X50 Ultra fulfills these requirements as a combo model. So does the MOVA V50 Ultra for Canadian customers. The QRevo series has the same issue with some dreame models where the dustbin will be clogged with fur but there’ll be a lot of empty space on the sides. It’ll be good for picking up fur on carpets with its dual brushes but I think the eufy X8 should be better for dealing with finer dust.

https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/saugroboter/ Narwal robots and Roborock’s spinning mop robots have the easiest to clean mop washboard as they’re completely removable (the autoempty Narwal models have a disposable dustbin attachment to avoid cleaning it but I find that rather wasteful). The roborock base qrevo is already a pretty good robot as it’s pretty tangle resistant with an all rubber main brush. Roborock’s generally vacuum better than the Narwal but the Narwal has an antitangle conical rubber and bristle brush that works great with the smoothest obstacle avoidance for camera enabled models with the best smart clean mode. As for models, the narwal’s Freo Z ultra is at 549 euros. However it’s very water hungry and requires constant water tank refilling and emptying. This should be the most cost effective choice if you are mainly concerned with ease of maintenance.

3.6 inches/9.1cm is quite a generous clearance. If you worry about it being good at avoiding things, brands like DJI, dreame, eufy, matic, mova, Narwal, will fare better than ecovacs and roborock at obstacle avoidance. Out of the brands I listed, dreame/mova models with a spinning mop and a retracting lidar will fit. If you’re okay with tidying up, ecovacs (t50) and roborock (Saros lineup, Curv X) also have options that are also short enough to fit under there. As for long hair, dreame/MOVA and roborock do better mainly because they rely on the airflow directing any tangled hair into the dustbin instead of combing it like ecovacs.

If you need it to under furniture with much lower clearance (like about 9cm) and automatic detergent adding is a non negotiable, get the Saros 10. If not, the Curv itself is a good choice. Are there any sales soon? If so, I’d wait for those.

The CurvX has a flashlight to help with identifying obstacles in low light. Navigation won’t be affected as it uses a lidar tower.

The roborock models with Adaptlift can only cross a single threshold up to 3cm and a tiered threshold up to 4cm (3cm + 1cm). Only dreame and MOVA’s robots with their threshold climbing features (ProLeap and StepMaster) can cross higher single thresholds.

[I got this a few weeks ago](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DX1DQKMD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) It could have been dumb luck, it could have been algorithm based. Here's all I know: - I was frantically catching up on reviews to keep gold. So I was putting in 5 reviews a day. - I had previously ordered parts for my Roborock S5 on vine. - I had searched on Amazon for robot vacs with base stations that collected dust/greywater, and dispensed mop water - I got my grab at about 10:30am EDT. *** Today, however, there's a badass katana just calling my name. While you are all snagging free stuff from Amazon, I'll be studying the blade...

Question: is your wife allergy-prone? My wife (then-girlfriend) absolutely flipped her shit when she came home one day, she sees me fooling with my phone, she hears a noise and then my Roborock S5 comes buzzing around the corner. "OMG YOU GOT A ROBOT VACUUM!?!?!? YESSS!" I knew that she's the type that would have an allergic reaction in a hypoallergenic clean room that assembles microchips, but I guess I underestimated how excited she was at the thought of a daily automatic vacuum. *** [A few weeks ago I got in my RFY an upgrade to my S5.](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DX1DQKMD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) I think she's just so used to the robot vac, she only got excited when I was like "we can move the S5 to the upstairs now..."

I’d get the qrevo curvx

Just got this one for $800. Arrived today and it is currently doing its first cleaning. Dreame battery life is horrible. Roborock has been a solid brand for a long time now.

The Roborock Qrevo Curvx for $800 is the best.

Cabinates aren't too low. I tested it with roborock curv x. Worked like a charm without issues. Mop is pretty long enough to mop the good amount of cornering it dies t even bother to get close to corners in the first place. It does randomly though in the same place. Software issue for sure.
