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 (no disposable bag needed).
- 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 Saros 20 is not available for now.
