[00:05] on the robot vacuum. You might have seen some of the new announcements at CES and Robbo Rock asked if I wanted to try any of them out before CES. I was like, "Yes, the Curve 2 Flow since it has the roller mop. I've seen other companies
[00:19] with the roller mop, so I wanted to see what Robo Rock could do." So, I've been trying it out for the last couple of weeks. Let's see if it can handle the messiest creatures this earth has ever seen. My three little hurricanes. This
[00:33] video is sponsored by Robo Rock because they can't go one month without adding new vacuums and redesigning their lineup. They're out of control. All so different from the rest of Robo Rock's lineup. Instead of a vibrating
[00:46] mop pad or spinning circle mops, it's a roller. And there are some massive advantages to this design. You see, even though the circle mops and the mop pad are really good at scrubbing the ground, they're still scrubbing a big area
[01:00] before they're washed and cleaned. Well, the roller mop is different. There's a scraper that is constantly getting all the gunk off the mop and emptying it into a dirty water tank on the robot vacuum. So, instead of smearing dirt and
[01:14] mud all over, the mop is constantly cleaned as it goes around. That scraper can also automatically adjust to the roller surface. So, it's very effective. Let's see it in action. Some YouTubers get all scientific with simulated messes
[01:28] and spills. Well, my kids keep it real. Hey, I I said don't drink and drive. >> My three-year-old with her wiggle car is completely unhinged. Look at this mess. All right, Curve to Flow. Let's see what you can do. Notice when it's in mop only
[01:43] mode, the side brushes lift up as well as the main brush. That way, they don't get messy. The roller mop does a great job at getting all the milk up on the first try. No smearing or anything. Impressive. There is one little spot
[01:55] that's pretty common with the other robot vacuum mops as well. Okay, let's see what else my kids can throw at it. Oh, wow. Our seven-year-old is getting dog. All right, that's enough ketchup. Yep, stop. Wa! There's more ketchup than
[02:11] hot dog. And now most of it's going on the ground. Great. Curve to flow. Uh, come eat another snack. It's crazy watching it mop up the ketchup with no problem at all. It's like magic. The ketchup just disappears. So, let's see
[02:26] what the mop looks like. Wow, pretty clean because the scraper got all the ketchup off. Most of it's in the dirty water channel, which is really easy to maintain since it can just slide out and be manually washed. Same with the dirty
[02:38] water tank on the robot vacuum and the roller mop. The dock will still clean the vacuum and all these parts, but it still might be a good idea to manually wash it if the mop has been cleaning up tons of messes. Speaking of which, let's
[02:50] give this curve two flow a sampler platter of food. Soy sauce, applesauce, and basically a full GoGurt. Yum. Just like the ketchup, the roller mop picks everything up, and it's so weird to see it getting all those foods without any
[03:03] streaks. Again, the mop is basically clean after the scraper got it all off. Because I know what some of you are thinking. I'm not planning on covering my entire floor with applesauce. Well, things can still get spilled on the
[03:17] ground that could cause issues like a pet throwing up. And instead of the robot vacuum smearing throw up everywhere, this roller mop might save the day. The Curve 2 Flow can also detect large spills on the ground and
[03:29] automatically turn on mop only mode. That way, it can avoid spreading messes. So, it's these types of situations that would normally be a complete disaster, but with a roller mop, it's not a big deal at all. But what happens when the
[03:42] Curve 2 Flow goes over carpet? Does that same mop that just cleaned up yogurt and applesauce get wiped all over the carpet? Some of the new Robo Rocks can detach the mops in the base station, but the Curve Two Flow does something
[03:55] different. I like it even better. When the vacuum detects carpet, the roller mop lifts up and a roller shield automatically covers the mop. This works extremely well and it completely blocks the mop from touching the carpet. The
[04:08] reason I like it more than dropping the mops off in the dock is that the curve immediately after it's finished with the carpet. The mop shield can be removed with screws on the side if it needs to be cleaned or replaced. To manually open
[04:21] or close it, just go into maintenance, mop shield, and it can be controlled there. Cool. I was really shocked to see that the mop can also extend to the side to get closer to the edges. I wasn't expecting to see that on the first
[04:34] great. It gets right up close to the would expect as it goes in between chairs and obstacles. The downward pressure has been increased to 15 newtons, which translate that into
[04:47] English is about the weight of a bowling ball or if I was pressing down with my hand and wiping the floor, which is two and a half times more than the previous Kreo curve. I had it mop up some really sticky spots on the floor and it did a
[05:00] couldn't feel anything on the floor after it was done cleaning. After the scrubbing the ground part of the roller mop to be similarish to the spinning mops, which are already great.
[05:12] Just don't expect the roller mop to be like a million times better than the spinning mops. But there is a difference when it comes to the dirty water and grime being collected on the roller mop versus the spinning mops. If our floors
[05:25] are really dirty, the spinning mops might take multiple passes to get to the same cleanliness as the roller mop on the first pass. So, if you have pets or kids that can get really filthy like our kids, the roller mop can be a big help.
[05:39] If you are considering the Curve 2 Flow, there are a few things to know about it besides the mop. First, this vacuum is not a flagship level robot vacuum, so it whistles you might see on the Soros vacuums, like really low clearance and
[05:54] an extendable flexi arm side brush. This might be a dealbreaker for some, but for others, this actually might be a good thing because normally the roller mops are really expensive, but since this isn't a flagship level robot vacuum, the
[06:08] price isn't as high. But it still has really good features like the curve to flow vacuums very well. There's a lot of suction power at 20,000 pascals and it has the dual divide anti-tangle brushes. I love these brushes. They save so much
[06:22] them. I tested out the obstacle avoidance and it didn't run into any issues. The Curve 2 flow uses an RGB camera and structured light in front to identify obstacles. This makes a big
[06:34] difference as you can see it completely avoiding the cable on the ground. And as you probably know, the curved name is more of a reference to how the dock looks. I like the look of it and how the lid hides the clean and dirty water
[06:46] tanks, as well as the dust bag that auto empties the vacuum's dust bin. The dock also dries the roller mop with warm air so it doesn't get moldy or anything. All right, so what are my overall thoughts on the Curve 2 Flow? Well, I would
[06:58] mainly consider it if you have pets. You never know when they're going to throw up or pee on the ground. The Curve 2 Flow loves all that and will eat it right up. Gross, I know, but better than spreading it everywhere while you're
[07:10] gone. If you don't have pets or unhinged children like me, the Soros 10R or Sorrowos 20, the updated version of it, will still mop the floors extremely well does seem like a good fit for your house. Check out the link in the
