CES 2026 live: all the news, announcements, and innovations from the show floor and beyond
The market leader in robot vacuums has been behind in the latest trend — roller mops. But not for much longer. At CES this week, Roborock announced the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, its first robot vacuum and mop with a motorized self-cleaning roller mop.
The Flow features an extra-wide mop that the company says can clean more surface area in one pass than other models, and it spins at 220rpm with 15 Newtons of downward pressure. It self-cleans with eight water jets and a built-in scraper. The Flow has a “roller shield” that activates when the robot is on carpet, and the mop can extend from the bot to reach along edges.
Roborock’s current flagship vacuums, the Saros line, mop using either spinning oscillating mop pads or its unique VibraRise system (a flat mopping pad that vibrates to simulate scrubbing). The Qrevo, which is its midrange line, is the first to use a roller mop.

Other specs include 20,000Pa suction, the DuoDivide anti-tangle brush, and camera-based object detection to avoid cables, shoes, and pet poop. An AI-powered DirTect feature identifies different messes and adapts, boosting suction for dirt and switching to mop-only mode automatically when it detects wet spills.
The multifunctional dock keeps the signature curved design of the Curv line and cleans the robot’s mop with hot water and warm-air drying. It auto-empties the bin into a dust bag that can hold up to 65 days’ worth of dirt.
