While Roborock<\/strong> is a leading brand in the robot vacuum market, differentiating between its various models can be challenging. The product lineup includes the high-end S-series<\/strong> (with the S8 Pro Ultra<\/a><\/strong> serving as a benchmark), the Qrevo<\/strong> series (positioned as more advanced than standard Roborock models, excluding the S-series, while remaining more affordable), and the upcoming Saros<\/strong> series, featuring a robot arm capable of lifting and relocating objects weighing under 300 grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qrevo Curv<\/strong> is a recent addition to the Qrevo series, designed with features tailored for the Nordic market. It incorporates a height-adjustable chassis (AdaptiLift) intended to navigate thresholds up to 4 centimeters \u2013 a common requirement in Nordic homes. Having previewed the Qrevo Curv at IFA in Berlin last fall, we’ve now evaluated its performance for over a month in a demanding environment, rigorously testing its suction capabilities, rotating mops, LIDAR system, AdaptiLift functionality, and integrated “AI functions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial Assessment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Qrevo Curv arrives in a substantial package, largely due to the weight of the docking station. Unlike the bulkier S8 Pro Ultra station, the Curv’s dock features a more compact, streamlined design with rounded edges. Similar to its counterpart, it includes separate water tanks for clean and dirty water, as well as a compartment for disposable dust bags. The Qrevo Curv’s emptying process produces a noise level of approximately 70 dB, which is noticeable but less disruptive than the S8 Pro Ultra. Furthermore, the robot itself operates at a lower noise level than previous models, notably the S8, which exhibited both higher noise levels (around 10 dB greater) and reduced suction power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The robot autonomously washes and dries the mops, and during its initial run, effectively maps the environment and delivers a noticeably cleaner result. A single cleaning cycle significantly improves cleanliness. The pivoting mop, designed to reach into corners, works effectively in conjunction with the spinning brush and dual roller blades. We recommend using cold water exclusively for mopping, as parquet floors can become slippery even with specialized cleaning solutions. The LIDAR system effectively avoids larger obstructions, and an integrated lamp activates in low-light conditions to enhance visibility. The unit’s strong suction power (18,500 Pa) ensures thorough cleaning at an acceptable noise level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key selling point is the Qrevo Curv’s ability to navigate thresholds, an area where the S8 series previously struggled. According to the documentation, the Qrevo Curv is designed to handle 3 cm + 1 cm “in steps,” which suggests a 3 cm continuous threshold capacity. We tested this with a 3.5 cm threshold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qrevo Curv successfully traverses the 3.5 cm threshold, although it sometimes requires multiple attempts. In some instances, the robot becomes temporarily stuck, exhibiting repetitive movements and audible strain. Despite the threshold being mapped and recognized, the robot may struggle before eventually executing a small backward run-up, lifting its front, and clearing the obstacle. This suggests a potential software optimization issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
