Honest review from someone with every floor type after 3 months of heavy use. Highly recommend the Qrev Curv, pros and cons below. At the time of writing this review we have 63hrs and 3,013m2 (32,431ft2) of use on this machine. In my house we have two cats, two people with long hair, and we entertain guests. We also have a mix of area rugs, tile, hardwood, and high-pile carpet. The main floor size is about 82m2 [1,000ft2]. After shopping around and reading reviews (BTW, I highly recommend watching Vacuum Wars Reviews on YouTube), the threshold feature put us over the top. The vac runs 4 times per week and we spot clean on demand. The battery does not dip below 60% after intensive cleaning. It has only gotten stuck twice, and in both cases, we learned how to prevent it in the future. It is very smart about avoiding obstacles, and we haven’t had a problem with it running over anything unintended. Right now, my wife and I are of the opinion that if it makes it 1 year working like it has, we would rebuy in a heartbeat.Pros: It handles all the flooring types very well. It has been excelling on tile, hardwood, and low pile area rugs. The high pile does an OK job but leaves drag marks from the side bristle. If your area is more than 50% high pile be aware of that because you will notice the tracks. The App is also very impressive. It mapped my house quickly and in extreme detail. Sectioning off the house was very easy and we have a schedule feature set up for light cleaning 3 days a week plus one deep clean day that gets everything. We also constantly use it for spot cleaning when our kids make a mess. It will mop out most unset stains or most sticky messes. There have been a few times when something had to be hand washed because the vac couldn’t get it out but those were more spot treatments than general use.Cons: With a 4-day-a-week cleaning schedule, the water tank lasts about 2 weeks max. The box also does not come with any kind of detergent, so if you want soap you need to buy it upfront. Also, the dirty tank will smell very bad when you clean it. I’ve gotten into the habit of cleaning it once or twice a week and adding white vinegar to keep things from growing in the tank between maintenance. Lastly, you need to let it map everything in the house at once during startup. We have a ground-floor master and had it closed off because a baby. When the baby moved to their own room, we wanted Rocky to start vacuuming the master bedroom. However, it had mapped the floorplan to the door only and wouldn’t go in and learn the new room. To get it to do the bedroom, it meant having it remap the entire main floor, which is 90min process for us specifically. From there, we tell it which rooms to skip or block it off with doors or furniture when we want it to skip something.

March 2025 Update:A correction: the dust bags of the Dreame and Curve are NOT interchangeable.An annoying quirk on the Dreame is the custom room cleaning set up. On the main device home page is a Custom settings tab. There you can set how you want each room to be cleaned (e.g. 2x mop/vac, vac only, etc.). Seems like a nice feature. Then you go to schedule to run the vac at whatever time you want - also a nice feature. But, it does not use those custom room settings you set up! You have to start all over IN the scheduling area of the app to customize the room setting. This doesn't make sense to me. What's worse is that before I figured this out (with the help of a half dozen emails to Dreame tech support), it would run a full clean and SOMETIMES would 2 x mop/vac the room I had so set up in the main device page, but sometimes not. It would never "vac only" the room so set up. Dreame says that's not what it is supposed to do but I can see that sometimes it would do exactly that. Very odd. In any case, once I set up the room customizations in the scheduling tab, it works as expected. I have to say that despite some clear English-Chinese translation challenges with their support group's emails, they were very responsive and I think sincerely trying to help me sort out the problem, including remote accessing the vac's logs and trying to explain to me how I was supposed to set things up in the scheduling tab, not the deice tab. Otherwise, all three vacs continue to work very well with a slightly better score for the Curv.Original Review (Feb):Our robot army now includes a Shark Matrix, Dreame X30 Ultra and this Qrevo Curv. We have a 3,200 sq. ft single level home but a step up raised central portion divides the other two areas of the home, so it is either pick up and move a robot every day or buy three vacs. We opted for a fleet of robots. For various reasons, not the least was: "which is really better", we bought from three different brands. The Matrix is a lower level vacuum-only robovac, but it works very well. The Curv is the most expensive of the other two, but close in price, particularly if you get the Curv for the same $1,300 that the Dreame retails at, though the Dreame is typically on sale for a $300-500 less than MSRP. Still, they claim to have nearly identical features. In practice, however, the Dreame gets stuck under counters and on area rugs where the Curv has never had that problem. While the Dreame is reported to have better obstacle avoidance for things like cables, we have seen no real world difference between the Curv and Dreame - both will occasionally try to eat cables. I like the auto detergent dispensing feature of the Dreame, but we like the extending mop brush of the Curv. Adding detergent is no big deal on the Curv, but we can see the Curv's extended mop does a better job in corners than the Dreame. Both are about as loud, or quiet, as each other. They use identical replacement dust bag,s which is nice. Both have decent sized water tanks and you can control dozens of cleaning and automation features on each. However, I find the app for the Curv to be more intuitive, though I think there's a learning curve to both. E.g. try to find how to adjust the time between mop cleans on the Dreame. Hint: Its not under settings. I had to go to YouTube to figure out how to change the setting. Also, we've set 2x mop for several room on the Dreame but when the day's cleaning is done, it appears that it does not always do the second room mopping. I'm still investigating whether this is an app issue or the vac really does forget to go back over those two room.Interestingly, both of them have trouble with floor length mirrors and floor to ceiling windows, which several of our rooms have. They think there is another room and will try hard to get to the imaginary rooms unless I "no-go zone" them. This is the inherent problem with LIDAR, and probably camera, mapping. This is easily fixed with the "no-go" zone feature of both vacs.Both vacuums are excellent and have made our lives much simpler. Getting used to each vac's quirks takes a little time, but once you figure them out, they are easy to work with and it is amazing to see and appreciate the amount of self-washing, mopping and edge cleaning automation each provides.The Curve is typically a few hundred more than the X30 Ultra, but while both are very similar, if I needed another vac I would probably spend the extra and spring for another Curv because of the "I'm stuck" events we've seen with the Dreame. If I did not own both vacs, I wold be happy to have another Dreame. You really can't go wrong with either.
