Roborock Saros 10 Series Review: What Matters Most in Roborock’s New Flagship Duo

The Roborock Saros 10 and Saros 10R are the latest innovations in robot vacuums, aimed at redefining how deep a smart vacuum can clean — quite literally. With both models priced equally at $1,599, Roborock positions this pair as high-end, intelligent, and purpose-driven devices, each with unique strengths. After two months of real-world testing, here’s what truly sets them apart — and what matters most when choosing between them.

Slimmer Design, Smarter Navigation

The standout innovation in the Saros 10 series is its low-profile design. At just 3.14 inches tall, these robots can glide under more furniture than their predecessors. Roborock achieves this in two different ways:

• Saros 10: Features retractable sensors that lower when needed to squeeze into tight spots.

• Saros 10R: Ditches the top-mounted array entirely, using a new StarSight navigation system for precise obstacle detection.

In practice, StarSight offers superior obstacle avoidance, consistently dodging cables and small objects better than the Saros 10. However, both occasionally get stuck under furniture — a common problem that Roborock helps alleviate with smart suggestions for no-go zones via the app.

Cleaning Performance: Scrub vs. Sweep

The biggest difference lies in the mopping systems:

• Saros 10R: Dual spinning mops mounted on FlexArm extensions, which reach into corners and along walls, offering excellent surface coverage.

• Saros 10: Vibrating Sonic mop system that delivers deeper cleaning power, especially on dried messes or sticky spots.

If you prioritize cleaning depth, the Saros 10 slightly edges ahead, but for low-maintenance operation and coverage, the 10R is your pick.

Both robots come with:

• DuoDivide anti-tangle brush

• Mop lift and detach features

• Automatic dustbin emptying

• Auto mop cleaning and drying docks

User Experience & App Controls

Roborock’s app continues to be a benchmark in smart home control. Both robots:

• Offer remote camera functionality (with voice alert when activated)

• Suggest optimizations based on cleaning history

• Provide fine-tuned mapping and customizable settings

Both models can also raise their entire chassis by 1.57 inches, which helps tackle room transitions, door trims, and obstacles that would normally trap other vacuums.

Specs and Runtime Comparison

The Saros 10 offers longer runtime and is better suited for larger homes, while the Saros 10R delivers smoother navigation and corner cleaning.

Verdict: Which One Should You Buy?

• Buy the Saros 10 if: You want superior scrubbing power, deeper cleans, and a slightly more hands-on experience.

• Buy the Saros 10R if: You prefer a smarter, more autonomous vacuum with better obstacle avoidance and low-maintenance use.

Both offer top-tier features, and choosing between them boils down to how much you prioritize mop power versus navigation.
