Actually its a good test to see how the robot deals with more messy environments, it obviously despite its price tag it cant deal with cords wich only shows why its not worth the money

[@irisau7450]

I think the cords are great for demonstration!

[@storm024]

I love my Curv, but I have to agree, avoidance isn't the greatest. I bought mine during Amazon prime day, and I've run it every day since for a total of 63hrs/27K feet. It has gotten jammed from a shoelace that my cats like to play with and a charging cord that was plugged in. However, I feel it keeps me mindful to pick up before its scheduled runs. The split roller makes it super easy to untangle the jams, and it's amazing with my very long thick hair, no tangles. The split roller is why I'm keeping it. If it weren't for that feature, I would probably return it for the Qrevo master. I don't have thresholds, but I do have 2 moon chairs that it struggles and sometimes gets stuck on. I did try to set the legs as thresholds to see if that would help, but it didn't, so I set the area where those 2 chairs are as no-go zones. Not ideal, but I'm hoping that one day it'll get a software update that will help. It's so nice to have clean floors everyday and so satisfying to see that dirty water. I do empty and fill the tanks daily because it has a lot of area to clean doing 2 passes and medium wetness. It's super easy since I have it stationed in my laundry room across from the utility sink.

[@Victor-f9z1m]

Hello. Do you recommend the Curv ? On the fence between Curv , X40 or Freo Z.

[@rainersta7073]

I put a little bit cdl 0.3% (chlordioxid) in tank to keep water fresh an plastic tubes inside clean. It is common for beer units to clean and it changes to oxygene by itself.

[@lisarussell6099]

Like you, I have waist long hair and gave Deen waiting or one with an anti tangle rollers. Now I'm waiting to see how much the markdown is going to be during the holidays.

[@LeviAthan-p2j]

Cool. So don’t buy this vacuum if you leave random unplugged cords on your floor. If that happens to you, you should know that you ARE weird. And yes, normal people do not have random cords laying around the house. Also showcasing the climb function on a rug is very deliberate and deceitful. It obviously cannot get any traction on a soft rug, and the shiny plastic that it has to climb on is an added “bonus”. Nobody has this problem. Nobody will put a hard, long object on its rug. Even if you have carpet floors. You cannot get this extremely fuzzy carpet as floor carpet. It is considerably harder so the vacuum will easily find traction. In summary of what he said: don’t buy a motorcycle because if later on, you have a child, you won’t be able to take the toddler with you riding. 😂

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Do you have fringe rugs? Thick bath mats? Extension cord strips? I also discuss the performance issues. 🤷

[@TheFrenchGlow]

And just because you don't have a home with thresholds doesn't mean millions, yes millions of others do not experience the same issues. It's much more common that you believe.

[@yoooei5792]

Well I had a phone charger plugged in the wall which I forgot to take out before leaving home then I came home and the robot had chewed it up. Stuff like this can happen to anyone, the obstacle avoidance can definitely be better, if the object is very small and thin like a cord theres no way it can spot it even with the most expensive model. But what I hate is that in the ads it claims it "WILL" detect cords but it never do.

[@rohitkalra90]

Had a similar experience. Good review!

[@נאורגלמידי]

Hi thanks for the video. Do you recommend this model or the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra model? I don't have carpets at home, it's just important to me that the floor be very clean and that it also reaches the corners.

[@Brandon_Olson]

Two things worth noting: - Roborock says objection detection needs to be at least 3mm tall and cables are like 1mm, maybe? - You have to designate in the app where the climbing ledges are and it’ll behave differently than what’s shown here. Maybe in the future it’ll do this automatically.

[@michaelkay3451]

Why leave cables all over the floor?

[@TheFrenchGlow]

There wasn't cables all over. Some were hidden or plugged into the wall

[@gregoryneedsaname]

Are there any robot vacuums that can handle shag carpet? Even upright vacuums can struggle with a high pile rug.

[@necromancia2101]

This one the curv is design for high pile carpet that's why I spent the extra to buy this one.. the other vacuum says " medium carpet or rough floor but this one the curv is a good of carpet. My floor has double carpet for personal purposes and this thing leave it super but damn it super clean and not a single hair left. I have 4 malamutes dogs... listen.... mala...mutes... there is a huge differences between husky and malamutes and they are in the carpet 67hr per day lol by the time they leave the room it's snowing and I just turn on this vacuum and 10 min later I go back to the room and it's beautiful not even a hair floating in the hair. I measure my dogs hair and it's 37 cm idk in inches since the measure I know is centimeters I raised in Mexico.. hope this helps

[@Tuffaha]

why dont you just remove the cords from the ground man? Let the robot take care of your obstacles and cleaning. and you care about removing your socks and cables from the ground. Or just put on "No-Go-Zones".

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Hi! Half of these cords were plugged into the wall or hidden. The unit moves some small objects on the ground and finds them. Could happen to anyone.

[@Gyugyu08]

It’s like putting your wallet in the washing machine and expecting it not to wash it. #pickupyourcords

You really should not have cords lying around anyway… thats not a valid reason.

[@CleaningBotAddict-zt7er]

Anyone who thinks you can avoid having cords lying around doesn't have teenagers.

[@MichaelAnderson-ng6bt]

Agree. Too many excellent vacuums lose points for 'eating' cables or socks. Remove that problem by picking them up and it will perform amazingly.

[@SM-cn7ut]

I want to buy one this brand. After I watched him what brand and model that good to buy now?

[@kupipim3289]

Pick up your cords. A handheld vacuum will have the same problem...this is a non issue IMO. Also, the curve has a sensor that will send it back to mop again if the waste water was determined to be really dirty during cleaning.

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Hi! Cords and other objects like cords like fringe carpets, curtains, bathmats will cause similar failed sessions. I tried it over and over.

[@SirAanonym]

Do people even use cables anymore?

[@klk6967]

Hi, thx for a very good review. 2 question : can it sense when the watertank "ON" the robot is empty ? or will it just keep moping with no water ? what's the best alternativ, if you don't need the auto lift

[@Odinriddari]

Yes it knows to go and refill the mop water tank, you can also set the frequency that it goes to clean the mop either by time or by room. Have a look at the QRevo Master, it was the flagship before this , the differences are: the master has a different dual roller design with a blade to cut off tangled hair, the flexi arm brush is slightly different, no lift, suction is 10 000. I personally have 1 model below that the MaxV and its great though i wish i had gotten the master because that blade it uses the cut the hair off would have been nice lol. Here's a tip, add floor cleaner to the clean water tank, my floors have never looked better.

I have low/medium pile carepts, two cats and long hair. The split brush roll on the Curv is what is drawing me to it. Do I hold out for the Qrevo Curv to be released in the UK - or get the Dreame X40 on a Black Friday deal?

[@MichaelAnderson-ng6bt]

I'm in the same boat. The x40 is apparently great for pet hair, or in my case my partners hair 😂. I think I'm going to go with the x40. I really want the curv's lift up feature though.

[@forsteriae]

​@@MichaelAnderson-ng6bt it's such a hard choice! the curv is going to be at least £300 more than the x40 on sale right now, but it's that brush roll that's got me so interested and future proofing if I do move somewhere with high thresholds. I'm so undecided 😂

[@nevradilmen7945]

Definitely Qrevo Curve.. I am using it for 2 months. Long hair, pet hair, thresholds.. we have all.. and perfect performance

[@Sheps246]

Wow, great review, thanks for your work putting this together

[@DaveFogel]

Does it have any issues with black carpets? My s6 would think they were a ledge

[@TheFrenchGlow]

It's better on darker carpets but not for cord avoidance

[@liahfox5840]

I feel like this is going to be a great vacuum for hard floors & low pile carpets provided you don't keep cords on the floor. I feel like it will either get a firmware update, or a big discount in the near future. Possibly both. Robots in general don't have the weight/suction for a high pile carpet, especially if it's home with multiple pets.

[@saudalshammari8044]

[@therabak5803]

The object avoidance and adaptive chassis enthusiasm will probably be fixed with a software patch in the future.

Hi! Object avoidance issues have been like this on many roborocks for months now. I hope they can fix it with a software update.

[@nycmax2002]

Thanks for the honest review! Do you know why some channels are saying it's the best robovac ever? It's confusing for me.

[@eskamobob8662]

It's because it is still a good product, especialy if you have a lot of hard floors and low pile carpets (like most modern construction). I think the true TLDR is that it's great at mopping and only slightly below totl for vacuuming so it's averages out super highly. The obstical avoidance also doesn't seem to be an issue for everyone

[@Murphys_Law9]

Actually i got an update to my qrevo S yesterday. I don't have this AI unit but it works now pretty great....don't have a lot of experience yet, but first impressions are very good.

[@worldofz00]

Same I think there's a sweet spot and this Qrevo Curv may be an example of the law of diminishing returns. The Qrevo S and Pro seem to be great for that.

[@rainersta7073]

@worldofz00 Was my thought too. I don't have carpets in my appartment nor live near beach with much sand where i (could perhaps) need this 17000 PA. And i don't have an old building with barriers between the room where i need this climb function. Although i 'am a bit jealous not to have this sideways moveable mob😄 i think you run best by money/value with the model S. Basically same model as the qrevo master. But 400 Euros cheaper. And 600 Euros to curve. Nearly two S pieces for price of one qrevo master. I assume that the batteries eitherway last 5 years....and then it is garbage. No difference between S or curve. And the better modifications of curve do not promise 100% function. Still they eat cables....even better than model S because there is this climb function😄 And climb function to the limit only works perfect, if you don't have a glitchy carpet before....otherwise wheels rotate without effect. Sorry for my english...i am German.

[@LtFrankDrebin-f2x]

Great video! I'm looking for a robot especially for high pile rugs and hair. I have mostly wooden floors with 5 big high pile rugs lying around. Which one would you recommend? Thank's in advance

why do u have cords all over`?

[@marquesalan]

I own both. Well I did. Sent the Curv back. First off the station is very ugly and cheap looking shiny white plastic. The biggest drawback was THE CURV COULD NOT MOP CORNERS. The pads are too wide to fit in the corner, but the small mopping pad on my S8 maxv ultra fit right in there and got every crevice.

[@hack45993]

Thank god for this video. I do NOT want to spend $1300 "black friday" sale offer if THIS is what I'm gonna get. I thought Robot vacuums should have handled such common issues in 2024. But looks like it's STILL not a solved issue and not a good investment for a high end model. I'm very surprised to see such 'glowing' reviews of this product. I'm certain if I get a ~$500-600 or even ~$200-300 robot vaccum, the performance will be very comparable.

[@serhiymedvedyev7140]

Its not, there are nothing up to 15000Pa in that budget.

[@mkatepaski9947]

If you have a regular upright, you put away your cords. Why would you have cords left out. Maybe in a few years they will figure it out.

[@martinkalis3965]

Great review! I just wish you cover also battery life - according to some EV study, having Li-Ion battery charged in range of 20-60% of its capacity, increases lifespan of a battery approx 100 times. I test it on my iPhone and in 2 years the battery health dropped from 93% (I used it normally during the first year) to 92% 😂 Especially devices sitting on their charger can have destroyed battery in 2-3 years.

[@david029014]

I think you were a little rough with that step-up test, that step up you have is pretty high. For smaller bumps it should work fine.

[@TheFrenchGlow]

It's 0.75 inches or 50% lower than what Roborock claims though. 🤷

[@simonsays8815]

I do not have soft carpets or free cables on the floor, so I should be fine. I would be more interested to see how cat's hair or children's toys are being treated by this device. Any chance for your feedback?

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Hi I have a cat too and no issues with cat hair. But children's toys, it will still try to eat flat toys but usually avoids bigger dolls and pushes around medium toys and legos.

[@Tothefloor]

They could do a software update to fix the things you don't like. It's not a hardware issue.

[@TheFrenchGlow]

Do you know when it's coming out? I've been waiting for over a year on the max8v ultra and not sure it will be that easy of a fix.

[@Tothefloor]

@ Maybe never… but they could fix it if they wanted too. I considered a Dreame L40 as it can leave the mop pads behind for vacuuming BUT they are crazy unreliable so I’m sticking with the Curv. I would prefer the Edge but I can’t buy one in the USA. 🇺🇸

[@eskimofo9i6]

Bad Object avoidance is a deal breaker. I have seen the reviews for the Eufy Omni S1 Pro are excellent in object avoidance and mopping. The appeal to me for the Curve was the anti hair roller system. I don't see a Eufy Omni review by you. Do you think you will review the Eufy Omni S1 Pro? Thanks!!

[@eskamobob8662]

Fwiw, the hair roller is probably the best part about it. My partner has 18-24" long natural (4b) hair that is an absalute menace to vacuums normaly, but the curv doesn't care at all and just sucks it up. Only thing that works better is a dyson hardwood head on hard floors, but that obviously doesn't work for carpet. I do agree with this review that the obsitcal avoidance is an issue though. It takes abslute ages to even just figure put where chair legs are and go around them

[@gary3669IFH]

If those are your prios, take a look at the Narwal Freo Z Ultra, it has maybe the best anti tangle and also possibly the best obstacle avoidance

just add detergent to watertank, once a every 2 weeks when changing the water, easy peasy :)

[@BoraHorzaGobuchul]

@carnivaldk959 My dreame l10s ultra uses up the 4.5l clean water tank in two mopping runs of my home. I have it mopping every couple of days. That's about 3 refills a week. So not every 2 weeks for me, but much more often. Not that it's much work but if it's easily avoidable by automation there's no reason to do it. Also, depending on the detergent used, detergent concentration in the water may change over time of you just add it to the water (e.g. more at the bottom, less at the top). Not a big issue but still. And my next vacuum will be connected to water supply and sewage, so again, detergent tank is mandatory.
