Is the Roborock Qrevo Curv Worth It? What Owners Say About the Robot Vacuum

For most owners who run it in a pet household or care about kitchen floor hygiene after cooking, yes — the Roborock Qrevo Curv's 0% pet hair tangle and hot-water mop dock deliver on what they promise. If you have a clutter-light home and mop floors that only need maintenance cleaning, the Roborock Qrevo S at roughly $150 less does nearly the same job.

What Owners Actually Love

The single most cited strength across Qrevo Curv owner reviews is the DuoDivide dual parallel brush system's 0% pet hair tangle rate. In Vacuum Wars testing across 100+ robot vacuums, this result is tied-best-in-class — and in owner write-ups, nearly every pet owner with two or more shedding dogs or cats mentions they have not once had to cut hair off the brush after months of daily use. For multi-pet households, this alone separates the Curv from most alternatives.

The FlexiArm extending side brush is the second most frequently cited feature. Where fixed-arm robot vacuums leave a strip of debris along baseboards, the FlexiArm extends past the robot's body to actually reach edges. Owners who switched from other Roborocks or competing models consistently describe it as the single biggest day-to-day cleaning difference they notice.

The Multifunctional Dock 3.0's hot-water mop washing (75°C) generates sustained praise from owners who cook regularly. The consistent complaint about most robot mop docks — room-temperature water leaving the mop pads damp and smelly — does not appear in Curv reviews in the same volume. The warm-air drying cycle also gets specific mentions for preventing the mildew smell that's common with always-wet robot mop pads.

"Dog hair is picked up completely every run. I have two golden retrievers and I have not once had to cut hair off the brush. That alone justifies the price."

The Most Common Complaints

Obstacle avoidance is the Curv's most frequently raised limitation, and it appears with enough consistency across Reddit discussions in r/RobotVacuums to warrant serious attention. The Curv uses Reactive Tech structured light for obstacle detection — a step above basic bump-and-spin, but not the full AI camera system some competing models at this price tier use. Owners specifically report that flat cables, small toys, and socks are not reliably detected; the robot runs over or pushes them rather than routing around.

This complaint is counterintuitive given the Curv's premium price. In r/RobotVacuums discussions comparing the Curv and Qrevo S directly, the S's obstacle avoidance appears in fewer critical mentions despite costing less. The practical implication: if your floors regularly have light clutter, the Curv's obstacle avoidance may underperform your expectations at this price point.

"Poor obstacle avoidance is the top negative raised in Reddit discussions — owners in r/RobotVacuums specifically note that smaller items (cables, small toys, socks) are not reliably detected and the robot runs over or pushes them."

Long-Term Reality: After 6–12 Months

Post-warranty support is the consistent long-term concern across Roborock's full product line — not specific to the Curv, but relevant for any Roborock purchase. Owners who needed parts or resolution outside the warranty window report slow response times in Reddit threads. The Curv's premium price doesn't appear to come with premium post-warranty service based on owner reports.

For owners who declutter before runs or use the app's no-go zones to route around problem areas, the obstacle avoidance issue largely disappears and long-term satisfaction is consistently high. The DuoDivide brush and hot-water dock both hold up in 12-month owner reports without degraded performance.

"The mopping is better than I expected. It actually cleans my kitchen floor, not just makes it wet. The dock washes the pads in hot water and they smell clean after."

Who It's Worth It For

• Multi-pet households with heavy shedders — the 0% tangle rate is the clearest data-backed differentiator the Curv has over virtually every other robot vacuum
• Owners who cook regularly on hard floors — hot-water mopping at 75°C meaningfully outperforms room-temperature mop docks for kitchen grease and dried spills
• Homes with wall-edge and baseboard cleaning priority — the FlexiArm solves the wall-strip problem that plagues most robot vacuums
• Buyers coming from robot vacuums they've already decluttered their floors for — if you already clear the floor before runs, the obstacle avoidance limitation is largely moot

Who Should Skip It

• Homes with regular floor clutter — cables, toys, socks on the floor will be pushed rather than avoided; the Qrevo S or a model with stronger AI obstacle avoidance handles this better
• Maintenance-only hard floor mopping needs — if you don't cook greasy food regularly, room-temperature mopping (as on the Qrevo S) is sufficient and saves roughly $150 CAD
• Budget-conscious buyers — the Roborock Qrevo S at ~$699 CAD handles pet hair, maps accurately, and mops adequately for most households; the upgrade is real but not mandatory

Is the Price Justified?

At ~$849.99 CAD on Amazon.ca, the Curv sits roughly $150 above the Qrevo S. For pet owners with two or more shedding animals and anyone who regularly cooks on hard floors, the combination of 0% tangle rate and hot-water mopping makes the premium reasonable. For everyone else — a single dog, light mopping needs, or a cluttered floor environment — the S delivers on the core robot vacuum job and the gap doesn't justify $150 more.
