What reviewers found
Roborock Saros 10
- TechRadar: Good mopping on higher settings and an excellent dock, but patchy obstacle avoidance: it chewed a charging cable and tried to eat a sock. Turbo picked up almost everything on tile in one pass. Subscores: Value 4/5, Design 4.5/5, Performance 4/5, App 4.5/5. Source
- Vacuum Wars: 0.33 kPa suction (0.80 average), 21 of 24 obstacles avoided, no hair tangles, about 1,333 sq ft per charge, dried stain score 57 against about 94 average. Vacuum Wars printed a 4.63 star score in its comparison and 3.36 on its product card. Source
Roborock Saros 10R
- 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. Source
- 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
