Roborock Drops the Mic with Saros Z70 Robot Vacuum and Mop
A Game-Changer in the Robot Vacuum Market
Roborock has just launched the Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop at CES 2025, featuring a mechanical arm with OmniGrip technology to remove obstacles in its path. The company also unveiled two new robot vacuums, the Saros 10 and Saros 10R.
The Saros Z70: A Flagship with a Twist
The Saros Z70 features a foldable mechanical arm with OmniGrip technology that deploys itself to remove obstacles under 300 grams or about 8 oz. The five-axis arm will initially be limited to socks, small towels or cloths, tissue papers or napkins, and sandals, but Roborock plans to add more items over time.
The Roborock Saros Z70 cleans your floors and identifies objects it can lift in a first pass. Then, the robot returns to pick up the identified items, put them away, and clean the missed areas.
Problems Solved
The new Roborock Saros Z70 is here to finally solve a problem many robot vacuum users face: picking up every last sock or small toy on the floor before running your vacuum. We do this to prevent the robot vacuum from getting its roller brush stuck, leaving it idle until you rescue it. This is one of the most annoying things in a robot vacuum, especially when you run it while you’re away from home and return to find dirty floors and your robot stuck a few feet from where it began cleaning hours ago.
OmniGrip Technology
The OmniGrip arm features precision sensors, a camera, and an LED light to detect and process visual information about the obstacles in its path.
Customization and Safety
The robotic arm vacuum will become Roborock’s latest flagship, replacing the Roborock S8 MaxV Pro Ultra. The feature will be disabled out of the box, so you must enable it in the Roborock app during setup. You can also customize the arm’s behavior, including designating where the objects should be placed when picked up. During a couple of demos with Roborock, this was usually a basket on the floor.
For safety measures, the vacuum features a child lock, a safety stop button, and measures to prevent the mechanical arm from deploying when it’s blocked.
Robot Vacuum and Mop Features
The Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop features 22,000Pa of suction, making it an industry leader in suction. The Saros Z70, set to launch in the first half of 2025, features Roborock’s dual anti-tangle system, with a FreeFlow main brush and a liftable FlexiArm Riser side brush to prevent hair from tangling around the vacuum.
New Robot Vacuums
Roborock is also launching the Saros 10 and Saros 10R, two new robot vacuums without the mechanical arm but with many of the S70’s flagship features. The Saros 10 features a retractable laser distance sensor (LDS) that can be put away to pass under low-clearance areas, like under furniture, without getting stuck.
Conclusion
Roborock’s Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop is a game-changer in the robot vacuum market, offering a solution to a common problem many users face. With its OmniGrip technology and mechanical arm, the Saros Z70 is sure to impress.
