Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test: Strong robot with minor weaknesses

If you’re looking for a powerful robot vacuum cleaner, you won’t be able to avoid Roborock in 2025. After all, the former Xiaomi subsidiary regularly delivers reliable smart household helpers for every budget. In the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test, we were able to try out a model that the manufacturer has aimed more at those with a bulging wallet. However, for an RRP of around 1,300 euros, you should also get a lot here. In addition to a flat design thanks to the retractable LiDAR tower, there is also the option of having your floors mopped with hot water and an impressive mop wash in the cleaning station, which is supposed to reliably kill all bacteria thanks to 100°C hot water. Will these promising key features make for an all-round successful robot vacuum? We’ll tell you!

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test: design and workmanship

When it comes to appearance and build quality, experience has shown that Roborock robot hoovers are beyond reproach. The manufacturer’s flagship models in particular score points with their outstanding look and feel. And this is also the case with the Qrevo Curv 2 Pro. Roborock remains true to the design language of the Curv series and once again relies on a rounded cleaning station.

This is clearly reminiscent of other models such as the Roborock Qrevo CurvX (Review | € 1,049.00 *). In general, the two robot hoovers are like two peas in a pod. And it’s not just the charging, suction and cleaning station that is reminiscent of the CurvX. The robots themselves also look like twins. One highlight is certainly the retractable LiDAR tower.

roborock qrevo curv 2 pro test

We are already familiar with this from other Roborock models such as the Saros 10 (Review | € 1,224.77 *). When the turret responsible for laser navigation is retracted, the overall height is just 7.98 cm. With the tower extended, the height is 10.5 cm. As soon as the Robo passes a flat piece of furniture, the sensor on the front registers this and the turret dips into the housing.

Behind the sensor are two control buttons with which you can start and stop the robot or send it to its cleaning station. A maintenance flap gives you access to the inner workings, such as the dust container. However, as this is vacuumed by the cleaning station anyway, you only really need to access it during setup and occasional maintenance.

Roborock’s Reactive AI system is located at the front. This relies on a camera unit with a matching LED and is responsible for obstacle detection. There are further sensors around the housing, which ensure an optimum distance to furniture edges and skirting boards, for example. On the back, we find the charging contacts and the charging port for the internal water tank.

If you turn the Robo upside down, you can see the extendable side brush, the two-part DuoDivide main brush and the two circular mop pads. One of the latter can also be extended, which, in combination with the extendable side brush, promises good cleaning of edges and corners. The cleaning station itself is quite unagitated.

The lower “parking lot” for the Robo is kept in matt gray, whereas the upper area shines in glossy white. The flap on the top gives you access to the two internal water tanks. The fresh water tank has a volume of 4 liters, the dirty water tank 3 liters. Behind the tanks, you will find the 2.5 liter dust bag under a cover.

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test: Setup and initial mapping

Anyone who has already set up a robot vacuum before will have no problems with the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro. Even newcomers will be able to get the smart household helper up and running in no time at all. This is not least due to the fact that the system is delivered completely pre-assembled.

All you have to do is find a suitable place and supply the cleaning station with power using the mains cable. Once this is done, take out your smartphone and download the Roborock app. Now add a new device here, scan the QR code under the maintenance flap to pair the Robo and follow the step-by-step instructions.

At the end of the setup, the smart household helper is in your network. Now send it on its first trip through your home. It will create a detailed map. Once this is done, all you have to do is fill the fresh water tank and the Roborock can go on its first cleaning tour. All in all, you don’t have to plan more than 20 minutes for the setup.

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro Test: Roborock App

During setup, you will come into contact with the Roborock app for the first time. The software is undoubtedly one of the best the robot vacuum market has to offer. One reason for this is the great overview. Even newcomers will find their way around easily. The factory settings are certainly the best choice for most users. However, those who like fine-tuning can let off steam here and enjoy the many setting options.

On the one hand, you can customize the map. For example, you can customize rooms, set up exclusion zones or define invisible walls. You can also define a specific cleaning type for each room. This is interesting, for example, if you don’t want your parquet floor in the living room to be mopped to protect it, but you do want the tiles in the bathroom and kitchen to be mopped. Apart from that, you can make specific cleaning settings.

You can choose between different suction levels and determine the water flow rate of the mop pads. Settings can also be made for the cleaning station. For example, you can regulate the strength or duration of the hot air drying. Setting a cleaning schedule is also particularly practical. This means you don’t always have to start the smart household helper manually, but the Robo runs automatically at the desired times.

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test: Navigation and obstacle detection

When it comes to navigation, the proven LiDAR system pays off. As with competitors such as the Dreame X50 Ultra (Review | € 888.00 *) and MOVA V50 Ultra (Review | € 849.00 *), the Roborock can retract the tower to significantly reduce the overall height. A rotating laser unit in the LiDAR tower uses laser distance measurement to gain an overview of your home.

And this is already convincing with the first mapping. The Roborock created a detailed and accurate map of my test room. But the navigation is also impressive in everyday life. The smart household helper moves around rooms according to a sensible pattern. First the edge of the room is scanned, then the center of the room. The Qrevo Curv 2 Pro follows parallel paths.

If desired, a type of deep cleaning can be activated in which it crosses the parallel paths again. The robot is also impressive in exceptional situations such as narrow passages or under flat furniture. In the test, it always found its way back to its cleaning station and moved quickly and with an obvious overview in everyday life. Obstacle detection, on the other hand, showed a few weaknesses. As mentioned at the beginning, Roborock AI Reactive is used.

roborock qrevo curv 2 pro test

The system consists of a camera and structured light. Thanks to the associated LED, it should be able to see even in the dark. An AI should be able to analyze the images and distinguish between around 200 different objects. What sounds good in theory didn’t always work in practice. While larger objects such as my shoe and my coffee cup were reliably recognized, there were definitely problems with smaller obstacles.

Objects recognized by the AI are marked on the map

My little rubber dinosaur was overlooked, as was the flat handle I placed in the robot’s path. Where the algorithm worked reliably, however, was my thin headphone cable and the thick cable of my hairdryer. This gives me hope that the obstacle detection might get a little better in future updates. As things stand, however, current competitors such as a Narwhal Flow (Review | € 1,299.00 *) are still ahead when it comes to obstacle detection.

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test: suction power

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro offers an impressive suction power of 25,000 Pascal. But can it also transfer this power from the data sheet to the floor? Our practical test paints an extremely positive picture. Once again, I spread a mixture of oatmeal, coffee beans and small soup noodles on the floor of our test area and let the Roborock loose on the garbage.

It vacuumed up a whopping 98% of the dirt on my vinyl floor. But I was also impressed by its performance on carpets. It reached 90% on my short-pile carpet and also managed 90% on my second carpet with medium-length fibers. In edge and corner areas, it scores again with its extendable side brush.

The DuoDivide main brush, which comes in a two-part design, also pays off in practice. As the owner of two cats and a dog, I always find some pet hair on the floor. In the test, however, these ended up where they belonged – in the dust bag of the cleaning station. However, there were no tangles at all.

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test: mopping performance

When mopping, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro uses two circular mopping pads. These rotate at 200 rpm and exert a pressure of 12N on the floor. And this pays off in practice. In our test, we first had the Roborock remove several jam stains, one of which had previously been dried with a hot air dryer. The smart household helper removed the damp jam stains after just two passes. After a third wipe, the traces of the dried stain were also removed.

This is certainly also due to the fact that the Roborock can mop with warm water. To do this, the fresh water is heated in the cleaning station and then transferred to the robot’s internal water tank. The mopping of liquids was a little less positive. I spread several puddles of coffee on the floor and then started the cleaning process. The result was not good. The Roborock spread the coffee on the floor rather than wiping it away.

I estimate that it would have taken three to four passes to remove the coffee without leaving any residue. However, this is a common problem with robot hoovers without an internal dirty water tank. An Ecovacs DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone (Review | € 936.14 *), for example, shows how it can be done better by simply sucking up liquids via the combination of the mopping roller and dirty water tank. To ensure that no liquid ends up in the dust container, the Roborock at least lifts its main brush.

Unfortunately, the side brush remains down and even rotates when mopping, which spreads the liquid even further. However, the Roborock scores again when mopping around edges and corners. Here it cleans reliably along skirting boards or furniture edges. As soon as the smart household helper moves over a carpet, it lifts the pads to prevent the carpet from getting wet. However, I recommend that you prefer the parking option for the mops. In this case, the robot vacuum places the mop pads in the station before it moves onto a carpet.

Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro test: Cleaning station

During and after the cleaning tour, the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro visits its practical multifunction station. And it really has a lot to offer. This is where the smart household helper’s dust container is vacuumed. On top of that, the mop pads are cleaned with hot water at up to 100°C. The intensity of the cleaning depends on how dirty the mops are. The Roborock offers intelligent dirt detection, which analyzes the dirt.

The station also cleans itself quickly to make maintenance even easier. Furthermore, the cleaning station fills the robot’s internal water tank with hot water and offers the option of putting the mop pads down during the cleaning tour. Cleaning is followed by hot air drying with 55°C hot air. The dust bag is also dried with fresh air to ensure maximum hygiene.

Conclusion

With the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Pro, the manufacturer once again proves why it belongs to the absolute top class in the robot vacuum market. The flat form factor thanks to the retractable LiDAR, the outstanding suction power and the strong mopping performance even with stubborn dirt provide an all-round convincing overall package in everyday use. The app is also still one of the best on the market and enables both beginners and robot hoovers professionals to configure the robot hoover perfectly. The multifunctional station sets a real exclamation mark in terms of convenience and hygiene: automatic suction, hot water cleaning, intelligent dirt detection and drying minimize the maintenance effort considerably.

However, the obstacle detection system deserves criticism, as it still fails too often with small objects. The removal of liquids is also not as convincing as with some state-of-the-art robots with a mopping roller and internal dirty water tank. The bottom line, however, is that you get a state-of-the-art premium robot vacuum that reliably automates daily floor cleaning and sets standards in key disciplines. If you are prepared to invest the considerable price, the Qrevo Curv 2 Pro is one of the best household helpers that 2025 has to offer.
