What the differences mean
Suction
The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic rates 36,000 Pa against 20,000 Pa for the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow, so it is the stronger cleaner on carpet and embedded pet hair.
Runtime
The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is rated for up to 242 minutes against 190, so it cleans more floor before it returns to recharge.
Connectivity
The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi plus Bluetooth. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is 2.4 GHz only, which complicates setup on combined dual-band routers.
Smart home support
The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic supports Matter today for Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow lists Matter and Apple Home as an upcoming over-the-air update.
Onboard bin
The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow carries 325 ml against 228 ml in the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, so the cheaper robot empties slightly less often between dock visits.
Which one to buy if
- you want the strongest suction
Its 36,000 Pa rating is nearly double the 20,000 Pa of the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow.
- your home runs on Apple Home or SmartThings
The Roborock Saros 20 Sonic supports Matter now, while the Curv lists it as a future update.
- you want the longest runtime
Its 242 minute rating is well ahead of the 190 minutes of the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic.
- the lower price is what decides it
The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow is the cheaper robot and still self-empties and cleans its mop.
- you want dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Only the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic connects on both Wi-Fi bands and adds Bluetooth.

What owners say
Owners of the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow describe a robot that needs little from them and gives a lot back. Daily runs go for weeks without a rescue, LiDAR mapping holds up, and the roller mop is rinsed with clean water and scraped while it works, so grime is not pushed around the floor. Pet households repeatedly credit the dual anti-tangle brush for hair pickup, and the app earns praise for per-room routines and automatic carpet boost. Their honest complaints are edge coverage, since it does not hug baseboards or reach under low cabinet kicks, some streaking on hardwood, and the periodic cleaning of the roller, scraper and dirty-water tank.
