What reviewers found
Roborock Qrevo CurvX
- Vacuum Wars (3.69 Vacuum Wars stars): Long term test in a 750 sq ft home with a dog. Mopping was strong with vacuum then mop runs and nothing wrapped the brush, but the 260 ml bin clogged almost daily and it often tried to climb objects and needed help. Source
- TechGearLab (85/100): Ranked first of 23 robots. Hard floor and mopping 9.3, carpet 8.4 with about 79% of debris cleaned, but only 52% of pet hair. Avoided 88% of obstacles. Measured 56.3 dB vacuuming. Source
Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
- Vacuum Wars: Measured 0.18 kPa max suction and 13 CFM airflow, 1.41 min per 1% battery and 0.62 m² per min navigation. Handled dried coffee and grape juice stains with minimal streaks, and its feature score was the highest Vacuum Wars had recorded at the time. Source
- TechRadar: Strong vacuuming and effective mopping on coffee and dried honey, fast accurate mapping. It got stuck on cables repeatedly, tried to vacuum a sock, and the extending side brush and voice assistant were unreliable. Subscores: Value 3.5/5, Design 4.5/5, Performance 4/5. Source
