Roborock Qrevo Curv Review - Watch Before Buying The Qrevo Master!

[@jameseniolaaa]

Amazing a thorough review as always, thanks Jamie! Honestly the go-to for any robo vacuum review! How does this compare to the Narwal Freo Z Ultra? I have mostly hard floors

[@jamie.andrews]

Thanks. Not sure if you have seen my review of the Z so here is a link kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioWunYapgM5kb7c Compare the pros and cons section along with the test results. Quick summary: Narwal mops better Narwal has better object avoidance. Narwal has detergent. Narwal feels and looks high quality. Curv has a better vacuum motor especially on hard floors. Curv can lift the chasis. Curv has better navigation. Curv has a better app. Curv has hotter water.

I appreciate that!

[@Bushwacked487]

Hey, a little request/suggestion. When you bring up an objective number (such as carpet pickup %, or water heat) I feel the viewer isn’t getting quite enough context. What about, when you mention each of these numbers, briefly putting up a chart with a listing/ranking of robots based on these. You mention an average, which is ok, but a viewer might want to know exactly which comparable robots outperform it in that category, or which robots it outperforms. Still think you’re the best in the business. Patiently waiting for this channel to have a few hundred thousand subscribers.

[@seanl8930]

Jamie yet again you are the best I watch every single one of your videos when considering what my next robot vac will be. I use the narwal freo X Plus and Dreame L20 Ultra and my home and I bought the L20 because of your review last Christmas. Still love it today although it's not perfect it still does a great and thorough job for my home. I don't think I am a fan of roborock their products are cool but it seems the cons outweigh the pros even at the current competition. Narwal still seems to provide the best bang for your buck for the prices you pay for them they also don't release new models all too quickly compared to dreame and roborock they take their time but I feel like when they deliver a new product they add enough new wow factors each time to make the wait worth it. Although sadly we are still not at that perfect robot vacuum with enough marketing pushes the company will eventually give us what we want. I'm still forever a narwal fan though for their price, performance, and timing release of product and having unique ideas that are different from the rest.

[@jamie.andrews]

Roborock's biggest downfall is they have started to focus on creating more and more models instead of focusing on perfecting what they have on the market. They were a pioneer with object avoidance all the way back with the S6 MaxV, but the technology has not improved really at all which is going to cause them to lose customers. Dreame is doing it too to a lesser extent. I have shared my feeling about this with Roborock. You likely alrrady know I am a fan of Narwal. They are different and while not perfect as you mentioned there is no perfect robot yet.

[@OCDResearcher]

Jamie, you are the best reviewer! Can you please start to include how close mopping gets to where carpet/rug end and hard floor begins? I noticed my Curv leaves about a 2-3in space around my rugs and carpet that doesn't get mopped. Is this normal for all robot mops?

[@jamie.andrews]

Yes this is normal for all robots sadly. It will always vary depending on the setting for carpet. If you chose "raise" it will cross the carpets but always lift the mop before the edge of the carpet. If you select "Vacuum carpet first" it will get a bit closer, however the pads are a good bit more onboard compared to the side of the robot. I have yet to see a robot be able to solve this issue and I agree it is an issue.

[@jenniferr2033]

Great and very timely review❤

[@DEG22]

Just finished the master review and was about to buy it. 😂 Lucky! 😂

[@CNCAddict]

It's amazing Roborock is still having issues with object avoidance. I love my eufy Omni S1 Pro and X10 pro which have excellent performance in this regard and I can't imagine taking a step backwards.

[@bozdagengin]

X10 has much better object avoidance, but its vacuum performance and the app quality is not great. I returned two X10s as a result. My 3 years old Roborock does better than X10. Eufy has good customer support and the robot does decent mopping, but I was tired of vacuuming after X10 was done.

[@jamie.andrews]

Yea I think Roborock needs to step up their game with object avoidance.

[@Henrydog808]

I got the Narwal Freo X Ultra from Costco for under 1K. It has performed exceptionally well. I saw the Freo X was just launched and will 100% get that one when it comes to Costco. It seems like it does a better job of object avoidance when compared to Roborock Vacs.

[@MariusJS]

Thanks for the review, if I have high thresholds, are there any other models to consider? Can you turn the voice assistant off completely?

[@jamie.andrews]

Not that I have tested. Yes you can turn off the voice assistant.

[@friedmansfresh]

Thank you for this review. I just got the curve and I’m having one issue that the swing out mop the Velcro mop head keeps falling off. I’m also very impressed though because my QRevo Master was only a month old and I called Roborock and they’re letting me return it even though it’s been used a ton and refunding it so I can get the Curv

[@jamie.andrews]

If the entire pad disk is falling out of the robot something is wrong. I have seen it get snagged by a cord and come out otherwise it should not and especially if the Master did not since they have the same mopping system.

[@preetiravindra]

Thanks Jamie! Any chance you can compare the Qrevo Curv against the Eufy S1 Pro, specifically on pet hair, mopping and obstacle avoidance?

[@jamie.andrews]

If you want great mopping performance and obstacles avoidance go Eufy, if you want better carpet cleaning especially if you have pets and need the lifting chasis to clear thresholds go Roborock. Roborock has hot water mop washing and Eufy has detergent injection. Their strengths are polar opposite.

[@bennyisaacs6988]

Hey Jamie! Thank you so much for your helpful, honest, and thorough review! I have a question-considering mostly hard floors and a long-haired dog, would you recommend the Curv or the Narwal Z? It’s a bit disappointing that the Z struggles with vacuuming dust, but it seems to excel in every other area.

[@jamie.andrews]

If you want great object avoidance the Narwal is better. If you care more about mopping than vacuum performance get the Narwal. Otherwise the Curv is more well rounded and has a better app and less bugs.

[@bennyisaacs6988]

@@jamie.andrews thanks for your answer! I think that vacuuming is more important because I have pets. Is it really worse than the Narwal in term of mopping? And could you leave some cords/stuff on the floor with Curv or is it a no go? Thanks again mate!

[@jamie.andrews]

@@bennyisaacs6988 Roborock almost always ignores cords. Mopping is not bad on the Curv. It is just that it is really good on the Narwal. Narwal has drawbacks though. No onboard water tank and it puts down a bunch of water which may not be great for people with delicate wood floors.

[@alext.4525]

When are these things going to detect cords reliably…? We recently purchased a MaxV Ultra and it’s astonishing how poorly it fares with certain things… One would think the top-end model (not ours, to be clear) would do everything well enough, and the only glaring drawback would be price. But unless I’m mistaken, it seems that no matter which one you choose, you’re forced to sacrifice heavily in one/more areas. That is why we went more on the mid end of things, but it seems the negatives might not be things we can live with. We also have mostly floor-to-ceiling windows and quite a few floor-to-ceiling mirrors. Combined, these result in incredibly wonky room mapping that I apparently cannot permanently alter, so I’m forced to live with a fun-house map :/. Advice welcome! Amazing channel BTW.

[@jamie.andrews]

Not many robots can properly avoid cords. Only a handful come to mind. Go to edit the map and edit furniture then add floor mirrors anywhere there are mirrors or floor windows. You should be good after that.

[@alexy_bee]

How does it perform in terms of mopping compared to Eufy S1 Pro? I understand it's impossible to beat S1 Pro at this point but has Qrevo curv managed to get closer to Eufy's performance?

[@jamie.andrews]

The S1 Pro is one of the very best performing robots with a mop. With that said it has no edge mopping and requires more maintenance. Here is my review of the S1 so you can see the mopping test. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2WUqoypa7pgjpo

[@mikestrow3823]

Thank you for the review! I'm looking to get rid of my ecovacs X2 omni and am considering the Qrevo Curv and the S8 MaxV Ultra. I don't have pets, do have a mix of hardwood, tile, and carpet with a decent but not crazy height difference from the hardwood. Which of the two Roborocks would you recommend as the best and easiest to maintain option?

[@jamie.andrews]

I would lean towards the Curv. It is easier to maintain.

[@AlbertVasquez4Homes]

Thanks Jamie. Question, which would you recommend best for mopping and vacuum tile floors with no thresholds … I was looking at the S8 MaxV Ultra but then saw this review for the Qrevo Curv. Doesn’t make sense how the S8 is the flagship model but is being outperformed by this new Qrevo Curv and the Qrevo Master. I have no carpets I just want the best mop cleaning and vacuum for a robot.

[@jamie.andrews]

New models are being released tomorrow. I'll have my video out in the morning so look at that before making a decision. Otherwise the Curv is one of the better Roborock models.

Hello and thanks for the review. Id like to ask if roborock has released an ota update to fix the obstacle avoidance issues since you performed the test? The robot failed the tests bad running into everything especially the animal waste. Thats a deal breaker.

[@jamie.andrews]

No. This test was just run a few weeks ago and it is on the same firmware. It is slightly better on hard floor surfaces except for cords.

[@michaelisaev3991]

Hello, Thank you for everything you do. Based on your experience, cat litter pickup from the card floor was better at Roborock S8 Vmax ultra comparing to this Curve or not? The reason I am asking is because I had the S8 Vmax Ultra for a month, but they announced this one and I decided to return s8Max and got Curve. I have 50/50 carpets regular height and vinyl floors. But after having it for several days, I kind of feel, for some reason, that it does a worse job than my previous S8 Vmax Ultra on the hardwood floors especially. Im really curious what you think about it.

[@jamie.andrews]

The S8 MaxV Ultra performed a bit better on hard floor surfaces in vaccum mode. It picked up 122 grams or 94%.

[@jamie.andrews]

No way to empty it. If you get buildup in the docks clean water tank it will also be in the robot. The reason why some people have it and not others is because it boils down to water quality. Use filtered water if you see buildup in the clean water tank.

Love your reviews. They are so thorough but to-the-point. The Roborock lineup is getting more and more confusing. I appreciate the constant innovation but still... The voice assistant feels outdated. I'd rather they integrate with a smart home assistant (Alexa, Homekit) to handle natural language interpretation. I just don't see them getting that feature on-par with the rest. It'd also be nice if you could set an "empty dust bin" time period, or figure out a way for the robot to know when it should empty the dust bin in the middle of a run.

[@jamie.andrews]

Ty so much! I have given Roborock the feedback that they are making too many models. To me the voice assistant is more of a gimmick at this point. Just use you own voice assistant to control it and it will work better. iRobot has a patent on a dustbin full sensor which is why no other robot can actually return to the dock when the dustbin is full. I think that patent runs out on 2026. I'll be so darn glad too.

Nice review Jamie, one thing, and I don’t know if this has anything to do with your voice assistant issues, but on my S8 Max V Ultra “Rocky” will get confused easily or ignore me unless I specifically use: “HELLO Rocky.” I learned early on without the full “Hello” the machine didn’t seem to recognize it as a voice command. I’m not sure if this helps or is something specific to my machine/model, thought I’d mention it.

[@jamie.andrews]

Thanks! That kinda goes to my point though that they need to expand the vocabulary. If I have to open the app to memorize the exact commands it defeats the purpose. Also when it is not in vacuum mode and just sitting in the dock it most always responds to hey Rocky. I included that in my last Master or MaxV review. Thanks for stopping by and watching my latest video!

[@FrancisCamilleri-m5o]

How often do you have to fill the water tank if you use it light mopping every day?

[@jamie.andrews]

Water usage will vary depending on these factors. 1. Total square footage of floors. 2. How often will it return to wash the mops. 3. Mop washing time setting 4. Water output setting on robot while mopping. With this said if I gave you a number of days it would be pure speculation.

Highly interested because of the adaptilift. We have dog gates, but they are 3.4cm high which is of course an impossible task for our current robot the S7 Max Ultra.

[@jamie.andrews]

I'm not sure it will be able able to cross 3.4cm. Roborock states 3cm max unless it is a multitier threshold then it can be 4cm in total. In my video I showed it as multitier threshold. I did test a 3.5cm threshold and it was not able to cross it.

When it was using the first firmware 2.18.40 it got stuck underneath my computer chair once and the voice assistant wouldn't respond unless I spoke to it in a higher pitched voice. With 2.20.40 it hasn't stuck itself like that yet and I haven't retried Rocky. Google assistant still works normally for controlling it.

Sure. Here is my review of the X40 Ultra. Let me know if have any specific questions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5jbaGatp7-Yhbc

[@deiminator2]

The master was 800 € compared to 1000 for this one, is it worth the 200 € difference?

[@jamie.andrews]

It is a better machine overall.

[@deiminator2]

@@jamie.andrews But does it justify the 20% price difference? Does it clean and mop 20% better?

[@jamie.andrews]

@deiminator2 That is something that is hard to answer. If it were me yes as I have carpet and I love the zero tangle brush, but someone else who has no pets and no high thresholds would argue it is not and I think they are right. It comes down to if you want those features and if your budget allows for them. The Curv is better than the Master.

[@zoide-777]

Where can you find it for 1000 euros? I've only seen it for around 1500, which is insane.

[@deiminator2]

@@zoide-777 it was a black friday deal on both Amazon and their own webpage

This is my 6th Roborock. I’ve never had a unit that couldn’t return to the dock. This one fails about 1/3 times. Shuffles back and forth in front of the dock for 15 minutes and just stops. Doesn’t matter where I put it. Have cleaned the sensors. Just an absolute bust.

[@jamie.andrews]

That is the first I have heard of that issue. Is it on carpet?

[@tannerfamily4152]

@ it’s on low carpet - and the same carpet that the S7, S7MaxV, S8, S8maxv ultra have all been on and while I’ve tried 3 other locations - I started it in the same spot all of those lived without issue. Might just be a defective unit 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jamie.andrews]

@@tannerfamily4152 I have heard of this happening when it is on carpet with other machines. If it happens on hard floor too you may want to contact support.

[@wokenfree]

I want my next robot vaccum to have excellent carpet cleaning capabilities and good object avoidance. It looks like this just misses the mark.

[@jamie.andrews]

If object avoidance is important look at my Narwal Freo X review. It checks both of these boxes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioWunYapgM5kb7csi=n-kms7Vc377nOi0m

[@CeylanU]

Roborock s8 max v ultra mı? Yoksa curvy mi?

[@thomasfogt1493]

On your not sponsored value proposition, then most other reviewers mention they get the vacuum for free. Then it isn't an unbiased review. So i would mention that as well to ensure all viewers remember that too - "a review is a not an unbiased review if it's paid, sponsored or the reviewer got the product for free".

[@Victor-th8tb]

Hello. I already Subcribed . 1600 sqf .all tile. no carpet. flat floor. 2 long hair girls. What do you recommended? Thank you.

[@jamie.andrews]

What is you budget? Do you need good object avoidance?

[@Victor-th8tb]

@@jamie.andrews 1500. Yes.

[@cshotla1]

Guessing it’s in the pin n’ go section for dance

[@aaronhughson285]

Does it need a firmware update?

[@tyr0n313]

Seems like the avoidance software could be easily fixed with an update. Otherwise, the voice recognition is no worse than my wife. And this one cleans significantly more often for a lower overall lifetime cost. This model is a win in my book.

[@jamie.andrews]

Classic😂

[@bozdagengin]

They have this issue with Qrevo MaxV since January and failed to fix it completely. Don’t buy it expecting it to fix it.

[@robertbplayz7880]

Jamie i hope you are okay. because of the hurricane🙏

[@jamie.andrews]

Ty. It missed our area.

Roborock q revo maxv çox gözəldi çox işi yapyor çiçək kimi edir evi

[@mosey4650]

it boggles my mind that the app for this vacuum has different features than the app for the master. limiting the robots by software like that is a wildly poor choice

[@chasehaha]

I’ve noticed that too, but now that I have a Qrevo Master and a Q5 Max+, a lot of the features that aren’t in the Q5 settings aren’t there just because of hardware limitations.

[@The19610211]

👍👍👍

[@Moonscentedhunter]

I just bought the q revo master and I’m debating on returning it for the curve just for the lifting chassis alone

[@jamie.andrews]

I would choose this over the Master even with the price difference.

[@Moonscentedhunter]

@@jamie.andrews honestly I’m gonna keep it probably. You just can’t keep up with robovacs. Like they want you to buy new every 3 months. Plus it’s a $350 dollar difference because I paid $950 for the master

[@Moonscentedhunter]

@@jamie.andrewsI returned my master and got the curv.

[@RaytheonNublinski]

It has object attack not object avoidance 🤣

Looks like a $1000 dog hair tax. Not sure it's worth it atm. If it can't even fill up it's own dust bin, they've lost the plot on air pressure dynamics. That'll double the emptying rate, making the extra suction equivalent to the rest just doing a second pass and filling the bin. One step forward. One step back. This needs a redesign.

[@jamie.andrews]

Can't say I disagree. The real innovation is with the lifting chasis.

Boss.. U never check if the 6400mah battery is compatible with older models.. 😂

It is not according to Roborock.

[@shareyou3155]

@@jamie.andrews I don't trust Roborock.. I trust u.. Lol.. U don't feel comfortable taking out the battery? 😅

[@jamie.andrews]

@@shareyou3155 I appreciate the trust! I would not encourage someone to do something that would void a warranty. Also it has nothing to do with comfort. I simply don't have enough time to do my reviews much less take apart 2 robots to see if they will fit and then see if the BMS will work in the new robots. I work a full time job and do these reviews on the side so my time is very limited. I'm not even sure where you would be able to buy a genuine Roborock 6400mah battery which is likely your biggest issue.

They just over engineer it. Then more problems later when things fail.

whats with the robot voice? can yo please just use your voice?

[@jamie.andrews]

That would be my voice. First anyone has said I sound like a robot. Can't please them all.

[@TeriSchnaubelt]

Next time, can you talk with your normal voice and not this weird attempt at whatever it is? I couldn’t finish the video, despite wanting the information.

Sorry this is my normal voice. How about using closed captions instead? Happy Holidays!
