Side-by-Side Comparison
| Spec | Roborock Qrevo Curv | Roborock Saros 10R |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $849.99 | $1099.99 |
| Release Year | 2024 | 2025 |
| Claimed Suction (Pa) | 18,500 Pa on Roborock's own product page. For scale on how soft these numbers are: Roborock announced the Saros 10R at 19,000 Pa at CES 2025 and now sells the same robot as 22,000 Pa on Amazon and Best Buy | Sources conflict on Roborock's own number. Announced at 19,000 Pa at CES 2025 and still listed as 19,000 Pa in Vacuum Wars' 2026 Roborock guide; marketed as 22,000 Pa on Amazon, Best Buy and in Gizmodo's coverage; and listed as 18,000 Pa by one third-party spec database. Same robot, three numbers, no hardware change |
| Independent Test Result | Vacuum Wars rates obstacle avoidance as the Qrevo line's weak spot next to ECOVACS and eufy; the Curv's successor, the CurvX, sits at #17 in their 2026 Top 20. Reactive AI here recognises 62 object types against 108 on the Saros 10R | Vacuum Wars: a perfect 24/24 on obstacle avoidance, 92% flattened pet-hair pickup against an 80% average, 0% hair tangling against 39%, 80% carpet deep clean, and a 103-point dried-stain mopping score against a 98 average. RTINGS names it their top robot vacuum for 2026 |
| Navigation & Obstacle Avoidance | PreciSense LiDAR plus Reactive AI camera-based obstacle recognition, 62 object types, with an in-app video-call and pet-view feature | StarSight 2.0 dual-transmitter solid-state LiDAR plus 3D time-of-flight and an RGB camera — 21,600 sensor points, 108 object types — with VertiBeam for lateral detection |
| What the Maker Promises About Pet Waste | Roborock lists pet waste among the objects Reactive AI is trained on. There is no published replacement guarantee if it drives through it | Pet waste is in Roborock's recognised-object list and the robot scored 24/24 on Vacuum Wars' obstacle course, but Roborock publishes no replacement guarantee of the kind iRobot offers on the j7+ |
| Mop System | Dual spinning pads with adaptive down-pressure and an extending arm that pushes the pad out to skirting boards | Dual spinning pads with auto mop detaching, plus a FlexiArm riser side brush that extends into corners |
| Mop Lift Over Carpet (mm) | 17 mm on carpet detection — Roborock's own figure, and it is printed in the Amazon listing title. High enough to genuinely clear a low-pile rug | Sources conflict inside Roborock's own website: the product page says '17mm Mop Lift' and the Saros 10R feature page says '0.87 inches (22mm) Maximum Mop Lifting'. Vacuum Wars separately records 26 mm of AdaptiLift threshold clearance, which is a different measurement again |
| Dock Type & Plumbing | Multifunctional Dock 3.0 — self-empty, mop wash, hot-air dry, refill from onboard tanks. No plumbed refill or drain on this model | Multifunctional Dock 4.0, marketed as 10-in-1: self-empty, mop wash, hot-air dry and refill. The sibling Saros 10 is sold in a plumbed Refill & Drainage version; this one is not |
| Dock Mop Wash & Dry | 167°F (75°C) hot-water mop washing, then 113°F (45°C) warm-air drying, plus a dock self-clean cycle for the washboard. The dirty-water tank is still yours to empty and rinse | 176°F (80°C) hot-water mop washing with dirt detection that triggers a re-wash and re-mop, then 131°F (55°C) warm-air drying in 2, 3 or 4-hour cycles. The dirty-water tank is still emptied and rinsed by hand |
| Dock Bags & Running Cost | Proprietary Roborock bag rated at about 7 weeks. Roborock sells the 6-pack that fits this dock at $25.59 direct and Abt lists it at $31.99, so roughly $26-32 a year in bags. Add mop cloths for the Curv/Edge series at $20.99 for four, a main brush at $22.99 and side brushes at $11.19 a pair | One proprietary dust bag in the box; retail listings quote 60 days of self-emptying. Roborock's 6-pack that fits the Saros series is $25.59 direct and $31.99 at Abt, so roughly $26-32 a year in bags, plus mop modules and filters |
| Robot Bin Capacity (ml) | Not published on Roborock's US Qrevo Curv page | Not published on Roborock's US spec page. One third-party spec database lists 400 ml |
| Rated Runtime (and at what setting) (min) | Roborock does not publish a minute figure on the US Qrevo Curv page. The battery is 6,400 mAh, the same cell as in the Saros 10R which Roborock rates at 180 minutes on its lowest setting | 180 minutes, and Vacuum Wars confirms that figure is the lowest power setting. They measured 1.8 minutes per battery percent and about 1,389 sq ft per charge against a 1,020 sq ft average |
| Account, Cloud & Camera Privacy | Roborock account required and maps sync to Roborock's cloud as well as living on the robot. There is a camera with in-app remote viewing; independent privacy write-ups report Roborock processes obstacle images on-device and does not upload them by default. 'Hello Rocky' voice control works with the internet down | Roborock account required and maps sync to Roborock's cloud as well as the robot. Camera on board with in-app remote viewing; independent privacy write-ups report obstacle images are processed on-device and not uploaded by default |

Carpet Cleaning
The Roborock Saros 10R leads clearly here, 8.5 against 8.0 — a 0.5-point margin on embedded-debris and pet-hair pickup from carpet in independent bench tests, plus anti-tangle brush design — not the manufacturer's Pascal claim.. If that is what you are buying for, the Roborock Qrevo Curv does not close the gap elsewhere.
Hard Floor & Edges

Mopping
The Roborock Saros 10R leads clearly here, 8.5 against 8.0 — a 0.5-point margin on whether the mop scrubs or just drags: pad versus spinning versus washed roller, down-pressure, dried-stain removal and how wet the floor is left. Vacuum-only robots score 0.. If that is what you are buying for, the Roborock Qrevo Curv does not close the gap elsewhere.
Obstacle Avoidance
The Roborock Saros 10R leads clearly here, 9.5 against 6.5 — a 3.0-point margin on real camera or structured-light recognition versus bump-and-turn, scored against published obstacle-course results rather than the number of object types claimed.. If that is what you are buying for, the Roborock Qrevo Curv does not close the gap elsewhere.
Dock Automation
The Roborock Saros 10R leads clearly here, 9.0 against 8.5 — a 0.5-point margin on how much the dock genuinely does unattended: self-empty, hot-water mop wash, hot-air dry, solution dosing, plumbed refill and drain — minus the jobs it still leaves you.. If that is what you are buying for, the Roborock Qrevo Curv does not close the gap elsewhere.
Running Cost
The Roborock Qrevo Curv and Roborock Saros 10R are level here, at 6.0/10 each. the trap dimension.

Privacy & Control
The Roborock Qrevo Curv and Roborock Saros 10R are level here, at 6.0/10 each. whether an account and cloud are required, where the maps live, whether there is a camera and where its frames are processed, and the brand's actual privacy and security record. is not what separates these two — look to the categories where the scores diverge.

Pros & Cons
Roborock Qrevo Curv
Pros
- +17 mm mop lift genuinely clears a low-pile rug, where the ECOVACS X11's 10 mm does not
- +AdaptiLift raises each wheel independently for a 4 cm threshold — it goes places the flat-chassis robots cannot
- +Offline 'Hello Rocky' wake word means basic control survives an internet outage
- +Roborock publishes real accessory prices, so the running cost is knowable before you buy
Cons
- −Reactive AI recognises 62 object types against 108 on Roborock's own Saros 10R — obstacle avoidance is the Qrevo line's known weakness
- −Roborock publishes neither a runtime nor a bin capacity on the US Qrevo Curv page
- −Roborock's own site quotes a 1-year limited warranty; a widely cited warranty comparison claims Roborock gives 2 years, so check your invoice
- −Roughly $26-32 a year in proprietary bags, against $0 for the bagless Shark and ECOVACS docks
- −$849.99 direct against a $1,599.99 list price that nobody has paid in a long time
Roborock Saros 10R
Pros
- +The only robot here with a perfect 24/24 obstacle score from Vacuum Wars alongside 92% pet-hair pickup — it is the best all-rounder tested
- +Solid-state LiDAR means no turret, so it is 79.8 mm tall and gets under furniture full-dock rivals cannot
- +0% hair tangling against a 39% category average — a real advantage in a long-hair household
- +RTINGS' number-one pick for 2026, and Roborock publishes its accessory prices so running cost is knowable
Cons
- −Roborock cannot keep its own suction claim straight: 19,000 Pa at CES, 22,000 Pa at retail, 18,000 Pa in third-party databases
- −Roborock's own site publishes two different mop-lift figures for this robot, 17 mm and 22 mm
- −The 180-minute runtime is the lowest suction setting; expect far less on carpet at full power
- −No bin capacity published anywhere on Roborock's US spec page
- −Roughly $26-32 a year in proprietary bags, and the dirty-water tank is still a manual rinse
