The two are the latest high-end models that share many things. Both have advanced self-cleaning stations, latest navigation technologies, and some of the best mopping systems on the market.
Key difference
HyperForce Suction vs. BLAST Airflow Suction
HyperForce is Roborock's leading power suction technology.
Blast is the newest system that combines high suction and three times the airflow for better performance without draining the battery.
Navigation
The DEEBOT has a short body with no LDS tower, while the Roborock automatically retracts its LDS under furniture.
Body height & Climbing ability
Neither robots have an LDS tower, which keeps the body low profile. However, the Roborock is shorter.
The Roborock adjusts its chassis to cross higher obstacles, which makes its climbing ability better.
Mopping technology
The two use different mopping systems. It is probably the biggest difference between the two.
The Deebot has two onboard water tanks for clean and waste water that continuously keep the OZMO roller clean.
The Roborock uses a vibrating mopping module that applies extra pressure by lifting its omni wheel when the robot detects stubborn stains.
ECOVACS DEEBOT X9 PRO Omni
The newest X9 Pro has a zero-tangle system, an anti-tangle side brush, and a V-shaped roller brush that prevents hair wrapping.
Key features:
- BLAST Airflow Suction
- Triple lift
- OZMO mopping technology
- OZMO roller extension
- Two onboard water tanks
Ecovacs DEEBOT X9 Pro OMNI
A new Blast Tech that provides deep carpet cleaning
Unlike the Roborock, which has a standard two-pad system, the DEEBOT uses an OZMO roller and two onboard water tanks.
OZMO mopping system:
- Consumes less water
- Includes two onboard water tanks
- Continuously keep the roller clean as the robot mops
- Extends the roller along the walls
The Dirt Detection features: With AI, the robot intelligently detects stains and adapts its cleaning strategy based on severity
- For light stains (e.g., milk, juice), it performs three concentrated scrubbing passes.
- For tough stains (e.g., soy sauce, coffee), it executes a thorough multi-step process: grid-pattern deep cleaning from the edges inward, automatic mop refreshing, and a follow-up grid cycle, ensuring complete stain removal while protecting floor surfaces.
Depending on the cleaning situation, a triple lift system lifts the mop on carpets to prevent wetting, raises the side brush for large debris, and lifts the main brush to avoid contamination from spills.
A new Blast technology combines suction and airflow for deep carpet cleaning
While higher suction drains battery life, Blast optimizes both by 3x airflow and strong suction, delivering deeper cleaning and extending runtime.
More pickup efficiency, better carpet cleaning
Even tho the robot has lower suction numbers, thanks to the Blast, it has more efficiency at deep carpet cleaning.
The upgraded station has three washing modes and dries the pads at a higher temperature than the Roborock.
Roborock Saros 10
The Roborock Saros uses a different navigation and object recognition technology and is lower than the DEEBOT, which helps the robot reach under most furniture.
Key features:
- Side brush extends & retracts
- Hot water station self-cleaning
- Leaves the pad on a station when not needed
- AdaptiFift chassis helps to climb up to 1.4 in
- 4x lift system (chassis, side brush, roller, mops)
- Short body
- Retractable LDS
- Vibrating mopping pad
Roborock Saros 10
Adapts its chassis to cross an obstacle
Removes the mops from the station when not needed
The robot uses a vibrating mopping pad and one onboard water tank. However, even tho the DEEBOT continuously keeps the roller fresh and clean, the Roborock returns to the dock when it senses the pads need a wash.
Roborock mopping system:
- Features a vibrating mopping module
- Has a side mop that operates independently, lifts from the main mop, and extends along the walls
- Extend the side brush along the walls
- Higher mop lift
- Removes the pads on a station in a vacuum-only mode
A VibraRise 4.0 is a system of a vibrating mopping pad and an edge mop that lifts independently and extends along the walls. It also automatically detaches the pad in a Vacuum Only or Carpets First mode. By lifting its omni wheel, the robot applies more pressure when it detects a stubborn stain.
The Roborock adapts to the cleaning situation and lifts the roller and a side brush when it detects wet spills. The same goes for lifting a mopping pad when the robot vacuums carpets.
AdaptiLift Chassis helps the Saros 10 cross a higher obstacle
The Saros 10 smartly suggests no-go zones and adapts the cleaning strategy to the surroundings it scans. Unlike the DEEBOT, the Saros 10 smartly suggests a cleaning strategy by adjusting settings based on a previous clean. It is called SmartPlan.
Which one to get?
The DEEBOT X9 Pro OMNI uses a completely different mopping system and features new suction technology.
The Roborock Saros 10 has a vibrating mopping system, an adaptive chassis, and a smart cleaning strategy.
Both are high-end devices with advanced technology. It depends on design preferences and what kind of mopping system you want.
