TL;DR
At CES, Roborock unveiled the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, the company's first robot in the Curv midrange to use a motor-driven, self-cleaning roller mop. The bot pairs a roller mop and AI dirt detection with 20,000Pa suction, a multifunctional dock that washes and dries the mop, Matter support and a January 19 availability date at a discounted $849 (regularly $999).
What happened
Roborock revealed the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow at CES, adding a motor-driven roller mop to its Curv series. The device uses an extra-wide roller that spins at 220 rpm and applies about 15 newtons of downward force; Roborock says the roller is rinsed by eight jets and scraped clean inside the dock. The Flow can retract a shield when it detects carpet and extend the mop to reach edges. It combines wet mopping with vacuuming — 20,000Pa suction, an anti-tangle DuoDivide brush, and camera-based object detection — and includes an AI 'DirTect' mode that responds to different messes by changing suction or switching to mop-only for spills. Its dock washes, warm-dries the roller, and auto-empties the bin into a dust bag rated up to 65 days. The unit supports Matter and major voice assistants and goes on sale January 19 with an introductory price of $849 (full price $999).
Why it matters
- Roborock is adding roller-mop hardware to a lineup that previously used oscillating pads and VibraRise, closing a gap with competitors that offer roller mops.
- A motorized, self-cleaning roller could improve cleaning of sticky or dried spills compared with flat pads.
- Automated mop washing and warm-air drying reduce manual maintenance and potential mold or odor issues.
- Matter support means broader compatibility with major smart-home ecosystems from launch.
Key facts
- Model: Qrevo Curv 2 Flow (first Curv model with a roller mop).
- Roller mop: extra-wide, spins at 220 rpm, applies ~15 newtons of downward pressure.
- Self-cleaning: eight water jets plus a built-in scraper in the dock.
- Vacuum specs: 20,000Pa suction and DuoDivide anti-tangle brush.
- AI and sensors: camera-based object detection and an AI 'DirTect' feature to detect and adapt to different messes.
- Carpet handling: roller shield that activates over carpet; mop can extend to reach edges.
- Dock features: washes and warm-air dries the mop; auto-empties into a dust bag that Roborock says can hold up to 65 days of debris.
- Smart-home: supports Matter and works with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home.
- Availability: on sale January 19 with an introductory price of $849; regular price $999.
- Line positioning: Qrevo is Roborock’s midrange Curv line; Saros remains the brand’s flagship series using other mopping approaches.

Quick glossary
- Roller mop: A cylindrical, motor-driven cleaning head that rotates to scrub floors, often designed to lift and trap wet and dry debris more effectively than flat pads.
- Pascal (Pa): A unit of pressure; in robot vacuums, higher Pa numbers generally indicate stronger suction power.
- Matter: An interoperability smart-home standard that aims to make devices from different manufacturers work together across ecosystems like Apple, Amazon and Google.
- Self-emptying dock: A home base that automatically transfers collected dust from the robot’s bin into a larger container or bag, reducing how often users must manually empty it.
- AI-powered dirt detection: Software that uses sensors and machine learning to identify types of messes and adjust cleaning modes accordingly.
