After some jaw-dropping reveals during the Consumer Electronics Showcase (CES) last month, Roborock is officially launching its new dual flagship robot vacuum models, the Saros 10 and Saros 10R. These robot vacuum and mop combinations feature some impressively intelligent technology inside and are the new market leaders in suction power, with an unprecedented 22,000Pa of suction power.
Roborock has been known for years as an industry leader in navigation technology, with excellent obstacle avoidance powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The new Roborock Saros 10 and Saros 10R feature AI in new ways, such as optimizing navigation plans, accurately identifying objects, and enhancing cleaning efficiency. These robot vacuums are smart enough to learn your preferences and adapt cleaning modes, suction power, and navigation in real time.
Both robot vacuums feature the strongest suction power on the market thus far, at 22,000Pa. This outperforms the previous market leader, the Dreame X40 Ultra, which had 12,000Pa of suction power. Here’s how each robot vacuum differentiates from the other:
Roborock Saros 10R
The Roborock Saros 10R robot vacuum and mop features the company’s best object avoidance system, called StarSight Autonomous System 2.0. It uses 3D ToF sensors to construct 3D models of its surroundings, capable of understanding depth and spatial relationships to efficiently and thoroughly clean around different-shaped objects and furniture layouts.
This is the perfect robot vacuum and mop for homes with changing environments, like children who constantly leave toys or pieces of paper behind, pets, and wires. The Saros 10R expertly scans its surroundings up to 38,400 times per second, capable of adapting to changing landscapes and recognizing objects as small as an inch, even in dark environments.
The Saros 10R also has a 22mm mop lifting system when a carpet is detected, but it can also automatically remove its mop to prevent wetting even long-pile carpets.
The Roborock Saros 10R robot vacuum and mop combination is priced at $1,600, but it currently features an introductory sale for $200 off at $1,400.
Roborock Saros 10
While the Saros 10R is perfect for avoiding numerous floor obstacles, the Roborocok Saros 10 robot vacuum and mop is built for deep cleaning. This robot features AI algorithms to identify different types of stains and adjust its cleaning modes accordingly, as well as a new VibraRise 4.0 Mopping System that increases the robot mop’s vibrating area by 27%.
If the robot encounters stubborn or dry stains, it can raise the front wheels to put more pressure on the mop at the back of the robot, which works the stains more thoroughly.
Like the Saros 10R, the Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum and mop combination is priced at $1,600. However, the current introductory sale has the price reduced to $1,400.
During navigation, both the Saros 10 and Saros 10R can identify high-priority cleaning areas and floor types to adjust their cleaning power and how to navigate different obstacles. This “AI-driven cleaning” perfectly balances thoroughness and efficiency powered by intelligence. The new dual flagship Roborock robot vacuum and mop combinations feature a slim 3.14-inch body that can navigate under furniture, hard-to-reach spaces, and across thresholds of up to 1.2 inches in height and some U-shaped furniture legs.
During CES, Roborock also showcased the Saros Z70, a robot vacuum and mop with a mechanical arm that can pick up objects and move them out of its way. This robot vacuum is expected to be released in mid-2025.
