Robot vacuums make it easy to keep your entire home clean without much thought. After going through the initial setup and mapping phase, they can be scheduled to run automatically throughout the week. But if you’re living in a home with multiple floors, things can become a bit more complicated — not only will you have to physically move your robot up and down the stairs (none are yet capable of climbing steps), but you’ll need to map each floor separately.

How to create multiple floors with the Roborock Qrevo Curv

After creating the first map for your home, here’s how you can go about creating maps for additional floors.

Step 1: Open the Roborock mobile app.

Step 2: Find the Roborock Qrevo Curv on the main menu and select Enter.

Step 3: Select the ellipsis button at the top-right corner of your screen.

Step 4: Select Manage Maps.

Step 5: Find the Home Layout option and change it from Single-Level to Multi-Level.

Step 6: Select whether you’d like the robot to use Smart Recognition or Manual Selection for maps. Smart Recognition allows the robot to automatically detect which floor it’s working on while Manual Selection has you choose the map.

Step 7: Take your robot and place at a good staring point for your new map.

Step 8: Select Create New Map at the bottom of the screen. You’ll then be directed to open doors, remove any obstacles, and to not pick up or move the robot while it’s scanning. Its sensors should prevent it from falling down the stairs, though it never hurts to place a physical barrier if you’re worried about it plunging to an untimely demise.

Step 9: Once the mapping process is done, it’ll return to its starting position. It’ll also tell you it was unable to find the dock — which should always be the case, as the dock is located on another floor.

Step 10: Move the robot vacuum back to the floor holding its dock, then press the Home button on the robot. It’ll then return to its base.

Up to four floors can be stored on the Qrevo Curv, giving you plenty of flexibility when it comes to cleaning your home.

Robotic pool cleaner with jaw-dropping 15-hour battery life revealed at CES 2025
iGarden TurboX Master

Tech company iGarden revealed several new products at CES 2025, but the TurboX and TurboX Master robotic pool cleaners were undoubtedly the most exciting. Both are designed to make pool maintenance effortless -- but it’s the TurboX Master and its staggering 15-hour runtime that stood out from the rest of the iGarden lineup.

The iGarden TurboX Master is expected to launch in April, and it’s poised to make waves in the robotic pool cleaner marketplace. While most products can only run for a few hours before needing a recharge, this one can clean for 15 hours before running out of juice. In fact, iGarden says it holds the Guinness Record for the longest continuous operation of a robotic pool cleaner. This is due to its unique AI-inverter technology, which results enhanced battery efficiency without skimping on a premium clean.

Beatbot reveals futuristic AquaSense 2 Series pool cleaners at CES 2025
Beatbot AquaSense 2

The original AquaSense Series was wildly popular when it hit the market in early 2024, and at CES 2025, Beatbot officially revealed its successor, the AquaSense 2 Series. Consisting of three robotic pool cleaners and starting at $1,500, Series 2 models are designed to automate all aspects of pool cleaning. The high-end AquaSense 2 Ultra even incorporates AI technology into the mix, promising a superior clean.

AquaSense 2 is the most affordable of the trio at $1,499, yet the three-in-one pool cleaner is still pretty well-rounded. It can clean floors, walls, and the waterline, and can run for up to four hours before needing a recharge. Toss in obstacle detection, four unique cleaning modes, and an array of 16 sensors, and it’s well-suited for most pools.

Narwal debuts innovative robot vacuum with new mop-cleaning functionality at CES 2025
Narwal Flow

Narwal is responsible for some of our favorite robot vacuums, including the premium Narwal Freo Z Ultra, which features a modern aesthetic and ultra-quiet operation. The company’s track record of innovation continued at CES 2025 with the reveal of the Narwal Flow -- an upcoming robot vacuum built with a powerful new mopping system.

The Narwal Flow employs a new type of mopping system (dubbed the FlowWash Mopping System) that actively cleans its rolling mopping plate as it's cleaning your floors. This ensures you won’t be tracking dirty mops across the ground and should result in a better overall cleaning experience. The robot is equipped with both a clean and dirty water tank, allowing it to extract dirty water from the mop while simultaneously rewetting it. This allows the mop to remain in excellent condition without needing to head back to the docking station for self-cleaning.
