At first glance, both models appear similar, boasting premium features and an advanced station.
What is the main difference?
The mopping systems differ completely for both robots: Roborock uses double-rotating pads, while DEEBOT has a fluffy roller.
Other things are minor compared to the mopping system and the self-cleaning station design.
Self-cleaning station features:
- Auto-emptying
- Washing the roller
- Drying the roller
- Auto-filling solution
- Filling the water container
- Self-cleaning
- Dirt detection
- Auto-dirty water tank collection
Compared to the Roborock, the Deebot X11 OmniCyclone comes with a bagless station, which saves up to 25 bags in 5 years.
Better at removing stains, high airflow
DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone key features:
- High airflow
- Super-burst charging
- Long edge reach
- Bagless design
- Dual solution refill
- Brand-new station design
- High obstacle crossing
DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone
Dual cleaning solution refill for stubborn stains
Super-burst charging restores 6% battery in 3 minutes. The bagless design sets you free from switching disposable bags, saving up to 25 bags in 5 years.
Cleaning mechanics:
- Super-fast charging, which keeps the battery charge level enough to finish the job.
- Bagless design, so you don't have to buy bags.
- Higher airflow ensures better vacuuming performance.
- TruePass allows passing over higher obstacles.
Blast technology ensures better vacuuming performance. The newest TruePass Adaptive 4 Wheel Drive Climbing system activates mechanical climbing claws so the robot can easily pass over single thresholds as high as 0.94 inches, as well as various thresholds and sliding door tracks up to 1.57 inches high.
Higher obstacle crossing performance thanks to TruePass technology
Mopping features:
- 200% long edge reach
- 2 edge gliding wheels
- high-density roller
- dual solution refill for daily jobs and tough stains
- AI stain detection
- TrueEdge 3.0
Double-effect cleaning solution: the heavy-duty solution is specially designed for areas prone to heavy grease buildup, such as kitchens and dining rooms. The station will automatically switch to the heavy-duty formula after cleaning to deep-wash the roller mop.
OZMO mopping system consumes less water and performs better compared to others
The robot intelligently lifts the side brush, roller, or the OZMO roller, depending on the cleaning task.
Roborock Saros 10R
The Saros 10R is a premium series that offers upgrades over the Qrevo in almost every feature.
Cleaning mechanics
- The shorter body fits under furniture thanks to the starsight navigation system.
- A liftable chassis allows crossing over higher obstacles.
- The robot intelligently lifts a side brush, rollers, pads, or chassis, depending on the cleaning job.
- FlexiArm Riser extends and retracts a side brush around furniture to avoid collisions.
- Stronger suction makes the robot ideal for carpets.
- With advanced obstacle avoidance, the robot identifies more than 108 types of objects.
- Roborock voice control support without internet.
The Saros has better obstacle avoidance, an adaptive lifting design for the robot to climb a higher obstacle that adapts into a cleaning environment automatically, and has the most advanced self-cleaning station.
StarSight 2.0 is a next-gen navigation system, thanks to which the robot has a shorter body
The Saros automatically lifts its side sweeper, roller brush, and mopping pad depending on the cleaning situation; it adapts cleaning settings relying on how often the household has been cleaned (SmartPlan 2.0).
Mopping features:
- Double pad mopping system
- Disposable washboard
- Higher temperature for drying
- Hot water washing
- Hot water tank refill
- Detergent dispenser
- Hot water station self-cleaning
- Dirt detection
- Auto mop removal in a vacuum-only mode
The station uses hot water to refill the tank, wash the mops, and clean the base, which makes the robot a better option as a mopping robot than the previous models.
Dirt Detection: the robot intelligently identifies when the pads needs washing for re-wash and re-mop dirty areas
The Saros is a rich-featured robot that does the job of a vacuum and a mop at the same time. Intelligent enough to do the chores on its own.
The robot has 22k Pa of power which makes the Saros series the most powerful in the industry.
What does the DEEBOT lack compared to the Roborock?
Extendable and retractable side brush.
Roborock is known for its flawless navigation, which might be a thing to consider when buying a DEEBOT.
The manufacturer does not mention whether the station fills the water tank with hot water or self-cleans.
No mopping roller removal (in a vacuum mode). No detachable washboard.
No chassis lift.
Shorter body.
What does the Roborock lack compared to the DEEBOT?
Bagless design saves you a dollar when you don't have to buy a bag.
Super burst charging that charges the robot 6% in 3 minutes.
A dual solution that removes pet odors, intelligently choosing which one to use.
No wasted water tank on board.
To sum up
The DEEBOT X11 OmniCyclone has a unique bagless station and the best mopping system to date. The Roborock Saros 10R, though, has better navigation and hot water tank refill.
If you want better mopping performance, get the X11 OmniCyclone. But if you want great customer support, stronger suction, and smooth navigation, consider buying the Saros 10R.
