Roborock Saros Z70 Robot Vacuum: A Game-Changer in Cleaning Technology
Introducing the Saros Z70
Roborock just dropped the mic in the robot vacuum market at CES 2025 with the Saros Z70 robot vacuum launch, which features a mechanical arm to remove obstacles in its path. The company also launched two new robot vacuums, the Saros 10 and Saros 10R.
Mechanical Arm Technology
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.
How it Works
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.
Features and Benefits
- The OmniGrip arm features precision sensors, a camera, and an LED light to detect and process visual information about the obstacles in its path.
- 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.
- 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.
Other Features
- The Saros Z70 robot vacuum and mop features 22,000Pa of suction, making it the industry leader in suction.
- The Z70 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.
- The dual spinning mops lift to 22mm for mopping, enough to keep even medium-pile carpet dry during vacuuming and mopping sessions.
- The mops can detach themselves automatically at the dock when the robot is instructed to vacuum carpets before vacuuming and mopping hard floors.
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.
Saros 10
- 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.
- The Saros 10 can detect obstacles in its path, including unfolded cables on the floor; it also features industry-leading 22,000Pa of suction, Matter support, and Roborock’s VibraRise mopping technology.
- The Saros 10 will be available this month and can be purchased with the RockDock Ultra 2.0, which features a tempered glass finish, easier access to the bin and tanks, hot water mop washing, auto mop removal, and a 2.5-hour fast charge.
Saros 10R
- The Saros 10R robot vacuum and mop doesn’t feature the retractable LDS, instead boasting an ultra-thin, 3.14-inch design that easily fits under low furniture.
- The Saros 10R will be available later in 2025 and can be purchased with the Multifunctional Dock 4.0, with hot water mop washing, auto mop removal, and a 2.5-hour fast charge.
Conclusion
The Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum is a game-changer in cleaning technology, offering a mechanical arm to remove obstacles in its path. With its industry-leading suction and advanced features, it’s sure to revolutionize the way we clean our homes.
