Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about unique roller mopping system with continuous fresh water supply and high pressure (15n / 1.5kg) — just accept automatic mop lifting for carpets is only reliable for high-pile carpets under 13mm.
The reviewer concludes that both new Roborock robots perform "very well" and advises choosing the right device based on individual preferences. The Q Revo Curv 2 Flow is recommended for its strong roller mopping, clean water separation, edge cleaning, carpet protection, and easy maintenance, while the Saros 20 stands out for its high mobility over thresholds, precise obstacle detection, and advanced, self-sufficient Rockdock system for hygiene and time-saving.
This video provides an in-depth review of Roborock's new Q Revo Curv 2 Flow and Saros 20 robot vacuums, alongside a brief mention of the F25 Ace Pro wet/dry vacuum. The reviewer details the features, cleaning technologies, navigation capabilities, and maintenance aspects of the robot vacuums, based on extensive testing.
The Q Revo Curv 2 Flow is a strong contender for effective floor cleaning due to its unique roller mopping system. Its roller actively removes dirt with continuous fresh water supply and high pressure of 15 Newtons, preventing streaks and distributing fresh water consistently. However, a significant limitation is that high-pile carpets must be under 13 mm for the automatic roller lift to function reliably. If you prioritize deep mopping performance and minimal manual intervention on hard floors, this robot vacuum is a solid choice. If you have very thick carpets, you might need to consider its limitations or adjust your cleaning routine.

The Q Revo Curv 2 Flow utilizes a roller system for wiping, which is stated to remove dirt significantly better than classic pads without creating streaks or just spreading dirt around. This system ensures a more thorough and clean wiping process.

The roller is continuously moistened with fresh water via eight nozzles, ensuring the robot always mops with clean water instead of already dirty water. This prevents cross-contamination and maintains cleaning effectiveness.

The roller of the Q Revo Curv 2 Flow is 270mm wide, rotates at 220 RPM, and is pressed onto the floor with up to 15 Newtons (approximately 1.5 kg), which is significantly higher than many classic mopping pad systems and approaches manual wiping pressure.

The robot automatically detects carpets with its sensors, lifting the mopping roller by up to 15mm and covering it with a 'Roller Shield.' This reliably prevents moisture or dirt from transferring to the carpet, although high-pile carpets must be under 13mm for reliable function.

Using an Edge Adaptive System, the roller can be extended laterally to clean up to 10mm from edges, including walls, skirting boards, furniture, and chair legs. The reviewer notes it performs very well in these areas where many other robots leave more space.

The spiral-shaped Duo Divide main brush is designed to guide hairs to the center, where they are stripped off and vacuumed, significantly minimizing tangling. This is a huge advantage for households with pets or long human hair.

The Saros 20's Adapti Lift Chassis 3.0 allows it to cross double thresholds up to 4.5 cm + 4.3 cm, totaling 8.8 cm, which the reviewer confirmed in testing. This reduces getting stuck at door transitions and other elevated edges.

The Saros 20's chassis can be raised up to 30mm with up to eight lift stages, automatically adjusting based on carpet height to ensure optimal brush pressure. This provides visibly better cleaning performance on high-pile carpets and transitions.

The Starsight Autonomous System 2.0 combines Solid State Lidar, 3D ToF Sensor, and an RGB Camera, providing 21,600 sensor points and a high scanning rate for extremely precise orientation and 'fabulous' obstacle detection. It can identify up to 300 different obstacles, including small objects up to 2.2 cm high.

With a height of approximately 7.98 cm, the Saros 20 is one of Roborock's thinnest models. This allows it to reach areas under sofas, beds, and sideboards, where dust and hair often accumulate but are inaccessible to taller robots.

The Saros 20 offers a powerful 36,000 Pascal suction performance, described as a 'real challenge' that does not shy away from heavy dirt. This indicates strong cleaning capability for various types of debris.

The Saros 20 features a dual brush system where the main brush guides hairs to the center, and the side brush is designed to prevent tangling. This means less maintenance and consistently good performance for pet owners or those with long hair.

The Saros 20 uses extendable Flexi Arm elements for mopping, which can reach up to 2 cm deep into edges, corners, and skirting board areas. This ensures a reliable, edge-to-edge cleaning performance.

The new Rockdock washes the mops with 100°C hot water, rinses them, and then dries them with warm air after each mopping cycle. The dock itself also cleans with hot water, effectively killing bacteria and reducing manual cleaning.

A key feature of the Saros 20 is its ability to automatically detach the mops before pure vacuuming runs or carpet cleaning, completely eliminating the risk of wetting carpets. The reviewer states this makes the risk of wet carpets "gleich null."
The Q Revo Curv 2 Flow features a unique roller system that is continuously supplied with fresh water from eight nozzles, preventing the use of dirty water. This system effectively removes dirt and avoids leaving streaks, performing similarly to manual wiping with its 270mm wide roller and 1.5kg of pressure.
The Q Revo Curv 2 Flow is designed to protect carpets. Its sensors detect carpeted areas, prompting the robot to automatically lift the mopping roller by up to 15mm and cover it with a "Roller Shield." This reliably prevents moisture and dirt from transferring to carpets, though high-pile carpets must be under 13mm for this feature to work optimally.
The Saros 20 is equipped with an Adapti Lift Chassis 3.0, allowing it to navigate over challenging obstacles like double thresholds up to 8.8 cm high, confirmed by the reviewer's tests. It also features eight lift stages and a maximum 30mm lift when on carpets, ensuring optimal brush pressure for effective cleaning without getting stuck.
The Saros 20 integrates Solid State Lidar, 3D ToF Sensor, and an RGB Camera into its Starsight Autonomous System 2.0. This combination provides 21,600 sensor points for highly precise orientation and "fabulous" obstacle detection, capable of identifying up to 300 different obstacles, including small items as low as 2.2 cm, though the reviewer still suggests removing very small objects for safety.
The Saros 20 boasts an impressive 36,000 Pascal suction power, which the reviewer describes as a "real challenge" to heavy dirt. Its dual brush system is specifically designed to guide hair to the center and prevent tangling on the side brush, resulting in less maintenance and consistently good performance for households with pets or long hair.
The Saros 20's new Rockdock significantly enhances hygiene and convenience. After mopping, it washes and rinses the mops with 100°C hot water and then hot-air dries them, killing bacteria and ensuring quick drying. The dock also cleans itself with hot water. Crucially, mops can be automatically detached before vacuum-only or carpet cleaning runs, completely eliminating the risk of wet carpets.
The Q Revo Curv 2 Flow utilizes an Edge Adaptive System where its roller extends laterally to clean within 10mm of edges. The Saros 20, on the other hand, employs extendable Flexi Arm elements that allow its mops to reach up to 2 cm deep into edges, corners, and skirting board areas, ensuring a reliable edge-to-edge cleaning. Both offer strong performance in this area, with slightly different approaches.
