What the differences mean

Matter today, or later

The Narwal Flow is already Matter certified, so Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant work now, on 5 GHz as well as 2.4 GHz. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow lists Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter as an upcoming update, and it is 2.4 GHz only. Home Assistant is already yes on the Roborock. The assistant list is not equal until that update ships.

Runtime against suction

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is rated for 242 minutes at 20,000 Pa. The Narwal Flow is rated for 200 minutes at 22,000 Pa. The Roborock stays out longer. The Narwal publishes the higher airflow, and it is also the quieter of the two on the sheet, 60 dB against 65 dB.

Water, bag and height

The Narwal Flow carries a 5L clean tank and stands 95 mm tall. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow carries 4L and stands 119 mm tall, with a 325 ml onboard bin the Narwal does not publish and a 2.7L dock bag against the Narwal's 2.5L. The Roborock holds a bit more dust. The Narwal fits under lower furniture and holds more water.

The roller they share

Both rinse a roller while mopping, then wash and dry it and lift it on carpet. Neither doses detergent from its own cartridge. The Narwal Flow washes the roller with hotter water at the station and extends the mop toward the wall. Owners of the Roborock still report streaking and a gap along baseboards, so the hardware family is the same and the finish is not identical.

What owners say

Owners of both single out a roller that stays wet with clean water instead of dragging one dirty pad around, and both like pet-hair pickup with a dock that dries the mop. Narwal Flow owners talk about dried kitchen marks coming up in a pass or two, a tangle-free roller, and a 95 mm body that clears sofas. They complain that carpet detection is wrong often enough to matter, that they cannot draw a carpet zone by hand, and that stairs have to be blocked on the first map. Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow owners praise per-room routines and a long run, and they complain about streaking on hardwood, edges the roller still misses, and Matter that is still a promise rather than a switch they can use.
