## What reviewers found

### Dreame Matrix10 Ultra

- Vacuum Wars (3.65/5): Lab tests found 80% sand removal from carpet, 92% flattened pet hair pickup, 0% hair wrap, 19 of 24 obstacles avoided and a combined mopping score of 29 against a 22 average; coverage was about 757 sq ft per charge against a 1,117 sq ft average and crevice pickup was weak. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/dreame-matrix10-ultra-review/)
- TechRadar: Mapped a large village hall and open plan home accurately and mopped hard floors with no streaks; carpet results were good but left more debris than expected in a heavy debris test, and the app was slow and overwhelming.

### Roborock Saros 10R

- BGR: Called it Roborock's best model at launch. It fit under sofas and beds, had about 57% battery left after about 80 minutes of vacuuming and mopping, and needed tank service every four to six cleanings. It tangled in cables until a no go zone was set. [Source](https://bgr.com/reviews/roborock-saros-10r-review/)
- TechRadar: Noise measured 62 dB at source and 55 dB at 10 feet. Oats were cleared but flour stayed in floor seams on Max and Max+. It cleaned a syrup, soy sauce and milk spill in one pass on low water and mapped five areas in about 5 min. It rode over a 1 inch dog bone until Pet mode was turned on, and the dust bag filled in about three weeks.

- Vacuum Wars (3.64 Vacuum Wars stars): Picked up 80% of embedded sand from medium pile carpet against a 75% average and 92% of flattened pet hair, with 0% hair tangling. Avoided 24 of 24 obstacles. Cleared 20 mm and 26 mm boards but failed a single 36 mm threshold. Estimated about 1,389 sq ft per charge. The onboard bin is 270 ml. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/roborock-saros-10r-review)
