Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source for the past month, which introduces the SpiralFlow mopping feature to the market. This robot vacuum and mop performs like a flagship device, with 20,000Pa of suction, a self-washing roller mop, and even a shield that covers the mop when the robot goes over carpet.

If you’ve used vacuum-and-mop combination robots, you’re familiar with the mop feature’s shortcomings. This is true whether they have a single mop pad, rotating pads, or self-washing features. Aside from the hands-free dock, the roller mop has been the biggest innovation in the robot vacuum market in recent years, making a huge difference in robot performance.

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, however, has a roller mop that continuously sprays clean water from a water tank inside the robot. At the same time, a scraper cleans the roller to remove dirty water, which is then kept in a separate wastewater tank in the robot.
While I was testing the Eufy S1 Pro Omni with a roller mop in 2024, Roborock didn’t even add rotating mop pads to its flagship robot until the Saros 10R in 2025, instead keeping its vibrating mop pad. This was even if the Qrevo series has featured rotating mop pads for a couple of years.

Don’t get me wrong — Roborock is one of the biggest innovators on the market. It’s the company that brought us the Saros Z70’s mechanical arm and the Saros Rover’s leg architecture, after all. After testing the Curv 2 Flow, however, I get the impression that Roborock doesn’t keep up with the Joneses just for the sake of it. Instead, it only releases a market trend when it’s perfected it.

Sending the robot out to vacuum and mop my home resulted in some of the cleanest hardwood floors I’ve seen a robot leave behind. My dog sheds a ton, but the robot didn’t have issues tackling his fur. Pet hair is easily removed with the dual brush rollers and strong suction, even on rugs. And I loved that instead of just lifting the mop, the robot also automatically covers it when it goes over carpet to keep it dry.
I tested the robot to clean up wet spills by sending it out to mop only, and I was glad to see it handle everything I put down — literally. I tried the usual: soy sauce and coffee, then stepped it up with milk and juice, yet the robot never left behind anything, not even sticky residue after the floor dried.
