## Verdict

Built for homes with low sofas and beds, since the LiDAR tower drops to give a 3.1 in profile. Vacuum Wars scored it well on obstacles, coverage and hair tangles, but its measured suction was low and its vibrating pad lagged on dried stains. Check current pricing, since it often sells far below the $1,599.99 list now that the Saros 20 line is out.

## Questions buyers ask

### Saros 10 or Saros 10R?

The Saros 10 has a vibrating pad and a retracting LiDAR tower. The 10R has two spinning mops and internal LiDAR. Vacuum Wars measured better stain removal on the 10R.

### Will it fit under my sofa?

It is 3.14 in tall with the LiDAR retracted, per Roborock. TechRadar confirms about 3.1 in, 8 cm.

### Does it work on 5 GHz Wi-Fi?

No. Roborock says it supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only.
