Roborock vs Dreame: Saros 20 and Qrevo Curv 2 Flow vs X60 Max Ultra Complete

Roborock vs Dreame comes down to what your floors look like. The $1,599.99 Roborock Saros 20 is the slim pick for hard floors and tall thresholds, the $999.99 Qrevo Curv 2 Flow saves $600 or more with a roller mop, and the $1,699.99 Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete wins on pets, clutter and warranty.

Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 21, 2026 · How we research

Short answer

Buy the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete ($1,699.99) if you have pets, rugs or a cluttered home: it avoided 22 of 24 obstacles in Vacuum Wars testing, topped its ranking, and comes with a 3 year warranty against Roborock's 1 year. Buy the Roborock Saros 20 ($1,599.99) if your floors are mostly hard and you have low furniture or tall door thresholds; RTINGS found it far better on hard floors. Buy the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow ($999.99) if you want to spend $600 to $700 less and live in a mostly hard floor apartment; it scores highest of the three in our ranking (6.5 vs 6.3 and 6.2) because of its lower price.

Price and warranty

At list price the three sit $700 apart. The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is $999.99, the Saros 20 is $1,599.99 and the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete is $1,699.99 on each brand's US store as of October 21, 2026. Both flagships drop often: Tom's Guide saw the Saros 20 at $1,424.99 during a Roborock sale, and Vacuum Wars and Tom's Guide list the Dreame on Amazon from $1,179.99 to $1,529.98.

Warranty is a clear win for Dreame. Dreame US gives 3 years on the X60 Max Ultra Complete. Roborock gives 1 year on both the Saros 20 and the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow.

Neither brand publishes replacement intervals for bags, pads or filters on its US store, so we do not estimate a 3 year running cost. Roborock dust bags cost $25.59 for six. Dreame sells a 3.2 L bag for $17.99 and an X60 accessory kit for $159.99.

Vacuuming and pet hair

In Vacuum Wars lab tests, the Saros 20 and the Dreame both removed 89% of sand from carpet, and the Curv 2 Flow removed 87%. On flattened pet hair the Dreame scored a perfect 100%, the Saros 20 88% and the Curv 2 Flow 77.5%. None of the three wrapped hair around the brush.

RTINGS reached a different view on pets. Its head to head comparison says the Saros 20 lifts pet hair from carpet better and leaves next to nothing behind on hard floors, while the Dreame gave middling hard floor results. Tom's Guide, on the other hand, found the Dreame picked up 100% of hair, cereal and seeds on hard floors.

The takeaway: both flagships are strong vacuums. The Saros 20 has the edge on hard floors in RTINGS testing, and the Dreame has the edge on carpet pet hair in Vacuum Wars testing.

Obstacles, clutter and pet accidents

This is where the Dreame pulls ahead. It avoided 22 of 24 objects in Vacuum Wars testing, against 17 for the Saros 20 and 16 for the Curv 2 Flow. RTINGS says the Dreame moves around furniture and obstacles more reliably and consistently avoids pet waste, while it says the Saros 20 cannot be trusted around pet accidents.

The Roborocks also caught things in other tests. CGMagazine and Tom's Guide saw the Saros 20 struggle with loose cables, and Gizmodo had the Curv 2 Flow swallow a USB C cord and a sock.

Mopping

Mopping reviews are mixed for all three. Tom's Guide gave the Dreame 5 stars and found it cleaned soy sauce, mayonnaise and dried mud without residue. Android Authority liked it on wood and tile but saw its pads pop off when it bunched up rugs, and it needed water swaps about every other day.

The Saros 20 scored above average on combined mopping at Vacuum Wars, but Tom's Guide found its pads left floors streaky and patchy, and one pad fell off crossing a cable.

The Curv 2 Flow uses a roller mop instead of pads. Gizmodo called it the most powerful robot mop it had tested where it can reach, but Vacuum Wars gave it a combined mopping score of 13.7 against a 22.75 category average, and several reviewers found it missed edges and corners. Its dock has no detergent tank, so you add floor cleaner to the water tank by hand.

Low furniture and thresholds

The Saros 20 and the Dreame are both just over 3.1 inches tall, so they slide under most couches and beds. The Curv 2 Flow stands 4.7 inches tall because of its LiDAR turret, and reviewers found it too tall for some low cabinets and couches.

For door thresholds, the Saros 20 climbed a 57 mm step in Vacuum Wars testing, the highest the site has recorded, and the Dreame climbed 51 mm. The Curv 2 Flow managed 20 mm. If your home has raised thresholds between rooms, skip the Curv 2 Flow.

Who should buy which

Pets, rugs or a cluttered floor: Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete.
Want the longest warranty: Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete, 3 years against 1 year.
Mostly hard floors, low furniture and tall thresholds: Roborock Saros 20.
Mostly hard floor apartment on a tighter budget: Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow at $999.99.
Low couches or high thresholds: skip the Curv 2 Flow, which is 4.7 inches tall and climbed only 20 mm.
Want the least babysitting: none is perfect, but the Dreame's water tanks need frequent refills and the Roborocks catch cables, so tidy the floor first.

Questions people ask

Is Roborock or Dreame better?

It depends on your home. RTINGS found the Roborock Saros 20 better on hard floors and the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete better in cluttered homes and around pet waste. Vacuum Wars ranked the Dreame number 1 overall with a 4.01/5 score, against 3.81/5 for the Saros 20.

Which is better for pet hair, the Saros 20 or the Dreame X60?

Tests disagree. Vacuum Wars measured 100% flattened pet hair pickup for the Dreame and 88% for the Saros 20. RTINGS says the Saros 20 lifts pet hair from carpet more effectively. For homes with pet accidents, RTINGS favors the Dreame because it avoids pet waste.

Which has the better warranty?

Dreame. Dreame US gives 3 years on the X60 Max Ultra Complete. Roborock gives 1 year on the Saros 20 and the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow.

Is the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow worth it over the Saros 20?

If your home is mostly hard floor with no low furniture or tall thresholds, yes, since it costs $600 less. It is 4.7 inches tall, climbed only 20 mm in Vacuum Wars testing and has no detergent tank, so the Saros 20 suits more homes.

Will they fit under my couch?

The Saros 20 is 3.14 inches tall and the Dreame is 3.13 inches with its sensor lowered, so both fit under most furniture. The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow needs more than 4.7 inches of clearance.

Is the Dreame X60 Pro Ultra Complete the same robot?

Tom's Guide says the X60 Pro Ultra Complete is the UK name for the X60 Max Ultra Complete.
