Roborock continues to solidify its reputation as a leader in the robot vacuum industry, consistently delivering powerful and feature-rich cleaning devices. One of its latest innovations, the Roborock Qrevo Curv, not only boasts impressive cleaning capabilities but also introduces a sleek, more refined docking station. While it delivers top-tier performance, its premium design comes with a hefty price tag—raising the question of whether it truly justifies the cost.
Premium Design with a Unique Docking Station
Available for $1,599.99 through Roborock’s official website and Amazon, the Qrevo Curv is priced just below the company’s flagship model, the S8 MaxV Ultra ($1,799.99). Unlike many of its predecessors, it is exclusively available in white.
What sets the Qrevo Curv apart is its elegantly designed docking station, which breaks away from the traditional boxy aesthetic seen in most robotic vacuums. Shaped somewhat like an igloo, the station conceals its various bins—clean water, dirty water, and dust—behind a lid, making for a more seamless and stylish appearance. However, this design is not the most space-efficient, as the docking station is quite wide—even larger than that of the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra—and measures 17.7 inches in all dimensions.
Functionally, the docking station is highly advanced. It stores clean water, automatically cleans the mop pads, and empties the dustbin after each cycle. Built-in scrapers ensure that mop pads are thoroughly cleaned, though some manual maintenance will still be necessary over time. Fortunately, this section of the base can be removed for easy cleaning.
A Familiar Yet Effective Vacuum Design
The vacuum itself maintains the classic Roborock aesthetic, making it instantly recognizable. However, a few key enhancements differentiate the Qrevo Curv from its predecessors.
Dual Spinning Mop Pads: Unlike standard hybrid robot vacuums that drag a single stationary pad across the floor, the Qrevo Curv features two rotating mop pads that extend outward for better edge cleaning. While these round pads can’t fully reach square corners, the extendable side brush helps improve coverage.
AdaptiLift Chassis: This new feature allows the vacuum to raise its body by 0.4 inches, helping it navigate over obstacles like tall thresholds. Roborock claims it can climb up to 1.6-inch thresholds, and in testing, it managed to transition from hardwood to linoleum with less rattling compared to previous models.
DuoDivide Main Brush: Designed to prevent hair tangling, this split brush directs hair toward a central gap for efficient suction into the dustbin. For households with pets or family members with long hair, this could be a game-changer.
Control and Usability
The Qrevo Curv features two physical buttons on its top—a power button and a home button—but lacks a dedicated spot clean button, a feature found in some previous Roborock models. However, users can easily initiate spot cleaning via the companion app.
The vacuum also adapts well to different flooring types. Its mop pads automatically lift when vacuuming carpets or when performing a vacuum-only clean, preventing unnecessary moisture from reaching rugs and carpets.
Final Thoughts
The Roborock Qrevo Curv successfully combines style and high performance, delivering an elegant docking station, powerful suction, and a well-designed mopping system. Its AdaptiLift chassis and DuoDivide brush offer practical advantages, especially for homes with different flooring types or pet hair concerns.
However, at $1,599.99, it sits in the upper tier of robotic vacuums, approaching the price of the more powerful S8 MaxV Ultra. If aesthetics and convenience are priorities, the Qrevo Curv is an excellent option. But for those looking purely for the most advanced performance, it may be worth considering alternative models within the Roborock lineup.
