The Roborock Qrevo Curv is Roborock's latest robot vacuum mop combo with innovative features and impressive performance. It excels in debris pickup and carpet cleaning with its tangle-resistant DuoDivide brush, as well as mopping with advanced spinning pads.

It has a long run time—and it cleans quietly. The Q5 Max+’s battery lasts for 240 minutes when used on bare floors in quiet mode. If the Q5 Max+ encounters the resistance of carpets and is run on Turbo or Max mode, its run time will reduce significantly but will still be enough to vacuum a 1,500-square-foot home.

The handheld vacuum was a great complement; not only did it suck the crumbs out of our couch cushions, but it was also able to pick up the kitty litter that the Deebot T30s missed in the carpet cleaning lab test.

One of the best roomba iRobot makes, the combo j7 is a robot vacuum cleaner with an intelligent mopping function that switches modes automatically when it moves from hard floors to rugs and carpets.
