Finally, a roller mop robot without any major downsides.
Thesis: As of January 2026, I firmly believe this is the best robot money can buy. This is the only roller mop robot that won’t make you feel frustrated. Let me explain.Qualifications:1. I have personally bought and then returned most of the robots below. If you’re looking at this review, you’ve already decided you want a roller robot. You’re just deciding which one to get.2. I have several long-haired constantly shedding dogs and humans. My robots essentially go through stress tests every single day. The strength of the pros vastly outweighs the minor cons.Assumptions:1. Rollers mops are the future. They clean so much better and more reliably than spinning mops.2. Compared to the following, this is the only roller mop robot to not have any major issues:2a. Mova Z60 (Roller): Leaves the floors wet, poor battery life.2b. Dreame Aqua 10 (Roller): Base leaks water.2c. Narwal Flow (Trackmop): Extreme navigation issues with carpets and pathing.2d. Roomba 705 Combo (Roller): App issues, poor overall performance.2e. Ecovacs T80/X9/X11: Half-width roller mop, difficult to take apart roller system to clean.2f. Eufy: I haven’t personally tried this one, so I’ll abstain from making a judgement.Pros:1. Navigation is excellent. Pathing is logical and efficient. Obstacle avoidance is good enough, recommend you set it to the careful mode.2. Maintenance: Roller, squeegee, and dirty water tank are easy to remove and service.3. Roller mop shield: Allows the vacuuming of carpets AFTER mopping floors without getting the carpets wet. Also allows me to keep the dock in my carpeted study out of the main area of the house, which greatly reduces the perceived noise of the dock operations. Also, the timing of the shield deployment is prompt, unlike the Roomba 705 combo which has a bit of a lag.4. Roller mop: if you’re reading this you already know the advantages of a roller mop vs spinning mops.5. Price: In addition to being objectively superior to all roller mop competitors, it is cheaper than everyone except some of the budget Eufy and Ecovacs models.6. Two side brushes: I think that having an off-wall side brush makes a big difference in the performance when vacuuming long pet hair.Cons:1. Dock noise: The hot air mop drying fan is a bit louder than other brands. Not too terrible though. Just not as good as Narwal’s dock fans which are basically silent.2. Height: This robot is tall, and doesn’t have a retractable lidar. This limits it from going under my end tables which most other robots can.3. Lack of mop-only mode: Aside from spot cleaning, you must vacuum either before or during mopping.3a. This isn’t a huge issue because you should be doing this anyway. Currently, robot vacuum roller mops are NOT the same as upright wet-dry vacuums, despite what the French Glow says. The lack of suction on these roller mops basically makes them a Shark Hydroduo, which doesn’t process dry debris and hairs well. Roborock forcing you to vacuum prevents this from happening.4. No auto-detergent dispenser: A definite miss. You must add detergent directly to the clean water tank.5. No hot-water mopping: unlike the Roomba 705 combo and the Narwal Flow which both use warm water to mop, this Roborock only uses room-temperature water while mopping.6. No extendable side-brush: Doesn’t reach into corners that well. The side brushes do raise themselves however.7. No threshold crossing: this model doesn’t have chassis-lift or the ability to go up cliffs.Conclusion: While this is still limited by cost-cutting design decisions and limitations by bring a first-gen roller mop robot, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is the only roller mop robot as of January 2026 that delivers the holy trinity of exceptional performance, comparatively low price tag, and a user experience that won’t make you want to tear your hair out. While I have listed an equal number of pros and cons, the pros are major and the cons are minor. Let me be clear: I love this robot.This is the robot I plan to use for the next 4 years while I wait for the roller mop technology to mature. I’ll be skipping the gen-2 and gen-3 roller mop robots because this one is simply that good.Ver másVer menos
