What you can expect from the Roborock Saros 10
What testers say about the Roborock Saros 10
The Roborock Saros 10 is the flagship with a retractable lidar that keeps the robot under eight centimetres so it fits under the sofa, a lifting chassis for thresholds up to four centimetres, a vibrating mop pad with a small extending edge mop, and a station that washes the pads in 80-degree water and dries them with hot air; the pads can stay behind in the station automatically. TechRadar tested it at length and calls it a game-changer for cleaning under furniture.
TechRadar praises the suction and the mopping, with low-water modes for floors that dislike moisture, the straightforward mapping, the good-looking station that takes over almost all maintenance, and the fact that hair does not wrap around the brush. The retracting navigation puck and the climbing legs took it to places other robots could not reach, and over tall thresholds.
The criticism: the price is investment-class, obstacle recognition was patchy and, in the reviewer's view, spinning pads scrub better than this model's vibrating pad. The sister robot Saros 10R has those spinning pads and an embedded lidar. If low furniture and high thresholds are your main concern and you prefer a pad to spinning discs, this fits; for the best mopping, look at the 10R.
Pros
- Pulls a lot of dog hair out of carpet without fuss TechRadar ↗
- Lowers its sensor turret to get under low sofas, and it works reliably TechRadar ↗
- Dock takes care of emptying, mop washing and drying with little help TechRadar ↗
- Picks up debris of all sizes well on carpet and hard floors Vacuum Wars ↗
- Moves through rooms efficiently and covers a lot of floor per charge Vacuum Wars ↗
- Lifts itself over raised thresholds that stop many other robots Vacuum Wars ↗
Cons
- Ran over a sock and a charging cable during obstacle tests TechRadar ↗
- Light mopping modes barely touch dried-on stains, and spinning pads scrub better TechRadar ↗
- Very expensive, and the recommended branded floor cleaner is pricey too TechRadar ↗
- Vibrating mop pad struggles with dried-on stains Vacuum Wars ↗
- Dodges obstacles well, but less reliably than the Saros 10R Vacuum Wars ↗
- Weak at pulling dirt out of cracks in the floor Vacuum Wars ↗
