ZDNET’s Key Takeaways
- The Roborock Saros 10R is available for $1,600
- This new robot vacuum and mop combination navigates complex areas and quietly vacuums, with a good mopping feature that reaches along the edges to not miss a spot
- The Saros 10R’s mirrored dock looks great, but the water tank is relatively small, lasting only a few cleanings, and the rotating mop pads aren’t as effective as roller mops, which are becoming more commonplace
Setting Up the Roborock Saros 10R
The robot quickly paired with the Roborock app and the dock is heavy but easy to maneuver. The initial mapping run took only 11 minutes to map 742 square feet; the same area took my Roomba Combo 10 Max 84 minutes to map.
Performance
The robot gracefully and quietly vacuums, even with its 22,000Pa of suction power set to the highest setting, and maneuvers around furniture and obstacles easily. I’ve run the device daily, and it’s only gotten its brush roller caught three times: once with a one-inch tall penguin toy and twice with a kids’ rubber bracelet. Otherwise, the robot is good at avoiding socks, wipes, and small toys too big to get suctioned into its dustbin.
Mopping Feature
The Roborock Saros 10R has an extendable mop pad that cleans along edges. Out of all the robots I’ve tested, the Saros 10R is the one that has best avoided charging cables on the floor.
Conclusion
The Roborock Saros 10R is a game-changer for the company, offering a reliable 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combination that outperforms models that cost hundreds more. With its easy setup, quiet operation, and effective mopping feature, this robot is perfect for homes with complex layouts or fast-changing environments.
