## What reviewers found

### 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. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/roborock-saros-10r-robot-vacuum-review)
- 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)

### Roborock Saros Z70

- Vacuum Wars (3.17/5): Lab tests found top tier mopping with a combined score of 269 against a 171 average and 22 of 24 obstacles avoided, but only 67% sand removal from carpet and 83% pet hair pickup; the arm worked about half the time. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/roborock-saros-z70-review/)
- TechRadar: Vacuuming was excellent on carpet and lino and mopping strong at edges, but the arm had no fully successful autonomous pickup and the review unit rattled while cleaning. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/roborock-saros-z70-review)
- Android Authority: Called it Roborock's best robot vacuum so far for navigation and cleaning, but the arm set socks and paper beside the bin rather than in it and does not justify the price over the Saros 10R. [Source](https://androidauthority.com/roborock-saros-z70-review-3558359)
