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.

The Roborock Qrevo Curv is one of the best robot vacuum and mop combos. It's capable of producing up to 18,500 Pa of suction, and with a bold new dock design, it’s both a striking work of art and a useful tool to have around the home. But aside from its good looks and effective cleaning skills, Roborock packed the gadget with some fun auxiliary features. And one of the often-overlooked features is its ability to make a video call.

Tapo, a brand responsible for a wide range of smart gadgets, has just revealed two new robot vacuums -- the Tapo RV30 Max Series and Tapo RV20 Max Series. Both can be purchased as standalone robots or bundled with an auto-empty dock, and they offer some pretty impressive stats despite their entry-level price tags below $300.

The Tapo RV30 Max is the more expensive of the duo, clocking in at $220 ($300 when bundled with its auto-empty docking station). Its suction numbers are quite low at just 5,300 Pa, but it does offer a unique Mesh Grid feature that helps it accurately map and move about your home. It works in conjunction with lidar and IMU Dual Navigation, which should also make it great at avoiding obstacles.
