Verdict
If Tom’s Guide debris and pet-hair numbers are your priority, their PowerDetect 2-in-1 result beats the Curv 2 Flow. If you want a roller mop that reviewers such as The Verge and Wired have tested for downward pressure and stain removal, choose the Curv 2 Flow. Confirm the exact Shark SKU in Australian shops — names vary by region.
Overview
Shark’s PowerDetect / NeverTouch robots and Roborock’s Qrevo Curv 2 Flow show up in the same buyer shortlists, but they are built differently. Tom’s Guide includes a “Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1” row next to the Curv 2 Flow.
Pickup
That row is 94.6 overall, 99.8 cereal, 91.5 kitty litter, and 92.5 pet hair. The Curv 2 Flow is 89.5, 96.25, 97.5, and 75. Litter is the category where Roborock leads.
Mopping context
The Verge recommends the Curv 2 Flow for mopping and cites 20,000 Pa plus a self-cleaning roller. Wired measured about 15 N of mop pressure and 220 rpm on the roller. Those mop tests are not a Shark comparison.
Who should buy which
Pet-hair vacuuming on Tom’s Guide’s numbers favours the Shark row. Hard-floor washing favours reading the Curv 2 Flow mop reviews before you buy.
FAQ
Which had the higher pet-hair score?
Tom’s Guide lists Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 at 92.5 and the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow at 75.
Are Shark model names the same in Australia?
Not always. Match the exact model code on the box (for example RV2 / NeverTouch Pro) before assuming it is the unit Tom’s Guide tested.
