The Best of Both Worlds: A Closer Look at the Saros 10

The Roborock Saros 10 is a powerhouse robot vacuum and mop combination that has been making waves in the market. With its powerful suction, advanced navigation, and impressive mopping capabilities, this robot is a game-changer for those looking for a reliable and efficient cleaning solution.

Priced to Sell: The Dual-Flagship Angle

The Roborock Saros 10 and 10R are priced at $1,599, which may seem steep to some, but considering the impressive features and performance of these robots, it’s hard to argue with the price. However, deciding between the two can be a bit confusing, as they cater to different situations.

A Closer Look at the Roborock Saros 10

The Saros 10 boasts a sleek and modern design, with a white and gray dock and body that stands out in the market. The frosted glass look and dual-color design make the robot look good at home, but it’s also not an eyesore like some other robots can be. The robot itself is thin, Roborock’s thinnest robot yet, measuring only 3.14 inches tall off the ground.

Advanced Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance

The Saros 10 features a retractable LiDAR sensor on top, which retracts whenever the robot approaches low-clearance furniture. This allows the robot to navigate smoothly under furniture and around obstacles, making it a breeze to clean hard-to-reach areas. The robot’s advanced navigation system is also equipped with strong suction power, which can handle carpets, pet hair, and other tough messes.

Powerful Suction and Mopping Capabilities

The Saros 10 boasts a powerful suction power of 22,000Pa, which is over twice as strong as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. This translates to effective cleaning on carpets, even medium-pile rugs, and the robot automatically increases cleaning power over carpets. The mopping feature is also impressive, with a pad that vibrates to tackle stubborn stains on hard floors.

A Parent’s Best Friend: Robust Obstacle Avoidance

One of the standout features of the Saros 10 is its robust obstacle avoidance system. This feature allows the robot to navigate around toys, charging cables, and other obstacles without getting its roller brush stuck. In my testing, I found that the robot got caught only once, and it was due to a stack of sticky notes left on the floor by a creative child. This is a significant improvement over other robot vacuums, which often require intervention to remove items from the immobilized roller brush.

Conclusion

The Roborock Saros 10 is a game-changing robot vacuum and mop combination that offers powerful suction, advanced navigation, and impressive mopping capabilities. With its robust obstacle avoidance system, this robot is perfect for those who prioritize high suction power and have low-clearance areas that require cleaning. While the price may be steep, the Saros 10 is a worthwhile investment for those looking for a reliable and efficient cleaning solution.
