Recommended Flagship Robotic Vacuums & Mops

The Roborock QREVO Curv 2 Flow that had the 2nd highest carpet vacuuming score and the best mopping performance ended up in first place. The roller mop cover was 100% effective at keeping carpets dry, making it an excellent option for homes with mixed hard flooring and high pile carpets and it’s a great pick and an excellent value considering it’s priced much lower than the rest of the vacuums in this video. But you should be aware that it’s missing common flagship features like advanced object avoidance, high threshold crossing, and it’s much taller than the Roborock Saros 20, eufy S2, and Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete, so it’s not as good for cleaning under low furniture.

To me, the eufy OMNI S2 seems like the most flagship level vacuum in this video, recording the highest carpet vacuuming score of any vacuum I’ve ever tested with well above average mopping performance, great hair tangle avoidance, good object avoidance, and Matter connectivity. Its two biggest shortcomings are the fact that it has a side exit exhaust that pushes light debris out of the way and that its corner mopping algorithm makes it look like the OMNI S2 has no idea what its own dimensions are. But both of those issues are fixed with better path planning that can happen via firmware updates. While they’re at it, eufy should also add an option to vacuum all the carpets first before getting the mop wet since it lacks a roller mop cover like the less expensive Roborock QREVO Curv 2 Flow.

The best performer by far in the hair pickup and tangles test was the Narwal Flow 2, which cleaned 100% of the hair and left just a single tuft of fluff on the carpet. It also managed to stay completely tangle free, with just a single tuft of cotton stuck in the wheel, which is great to see since the original Narwal Flow was the first vacuum I’ve ever tested to score perfectly on this test and it’s nice that the Flow 2 maintains that same level of performance.

If you need a threshold climber, the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete easily cleared even the tallest 50mm thresholds. But while the vacuum has no major shortcomings, it mostly just performed average or slightly above average in all of my tests, which is a bit disappointing for a newly released flagship with very premium price tags.

The MOVA V50 Ultra Complete finished in first with an average score of 2.9, thanks to its object avoidance and threshold crossing abilities, but at $1399, that’s $200 more than the Dreame X50 Ultra which has the same threshold crossing, the same object avoidance, and the same mopping but better overall vacuuming scores.
