We’ve had a series of Roomba products over the years and certainly the products - vacuums specifically - have gotten better over time. Sadly, their mop products have not, nor have their vacuum-mop combo products. Great price point, but mediocre performance.So we decided to try the very expensive RoboRock product and have been absolutely blown away by its performance. Mapping is an order of magnitude faster thanks to their highly effective sensor suite. Its ability to travel across carpets and modest thresholds (something that Roomba’s Braava series cannot) means that aside from picking up dog toys, vacuuming and mopping is a one button-push exercise. Emptying the bins, cleaning the mop heads and charging as needed requires no supervision. Other noteworthy differences: mopping is significantly better than Braava: 1) Its ability to clean mop heads means that it doesn’t just redistribute the dirt that it has already picked up; 2) Its ability to sense which direction the tile lines or wood floor seams run allows it to mop in the direction of the grain so to speak, so the floors look beautiful when done - tile and wood both. As far as vacuuming, it is about the same as the high-end Roomba self-emptying vacs. Its navigation around rooms is significantly better because its camera and Lidar-based sensors rarely seem to bump into furniture the way the Roomba products do (they use bump sensors).As mentioned in another review, setting the dock to clean the mop heads every 10 minutes. As well, I recommend vacuuming and mopping separately (you can set that up in the app), as it leaves the mop heads behind so as not to drag them across medium or high pile carpets. Battery life is quite good and while the app isn’t as intuitive as it could be, it is quite good once you figure it out.In summary: If you just want a good vacuum and maybe an occasional half-arsed mop, Roomba is a better way to go. If you want the whole (relatively expensive) combined system, I’ve not yet seen anything else that comes close. I haven’t had this long enough to speak to its reliability and will re-post if I learn anything different.

The Roborock Saros 10r has completely changed my cleaning routine! I was skeptical about robot vacuums, but this one has exceeded all my expectations. The suction is powerful, and it effortlessly transitions from hardwood to carpet. I'm amazed at how well it picks up pet hair, which was a huge problem for me before. The smart navigation is fantastic – it doesn't bump into furniture and cleans every corner of the room. The battery life is also impressive; it cleans my entire house on a single charge. The app is user-friendly, making it easy to schedule cleanings and monitor progress. If you're looking for a reliable and efficient robot vacuum, the Roborock Saros 10r is definitely the way to go. It's worth every penny!

Update: July 8, 2025 I love this thing. Everything I said when I first purchased stands....times 10! My floors are finally clean! The game changer if you can afford- the spinning mop pads. The other types of floor washers just push the same dirty pad around. This goes back to the dock and washes the pads mid cleaning so you are not using the same dirty pad! Genius. Prime day...take advantage of the 300 savings...I have no regret buying for full since I have had it and been using it.OMG!!! Why have I been so "iRobot/roomba" loyal. The Roboroc Saros 10r is amazing!! It seems more thorough and so quiet compared the my roomba s9+. My last roomba s9+ was a total lemon/dud and iRobot customer service has gone by the way side unfortunately. At a time when the competition has increased in the robotic vacuum world, and when iRobot needs to step up and be what they used to be..they are dropping the ball. I still have my 4 older roombas/floor washers which still do their thing well, however when my newer S9+ died, and iRobot company looked the other way and ignored all the problems-I did a LONG and INTENSIVE research and my next purchase.My two top choices...Roboroc Saros 10r vs. the Dreame X50 were in the running. I have mostly tile with deep grout ditches which makes a loud robot movement and wood floors, so deep carpet cleaning is not my focus. Both are so similar, however reviews all over the internet/youtube videos had the Roboroc Saros 10r winning by a hair.My reason to go Roboroc saros 10r (I was really leaning to the Dreame x 50) was the use of the floor cleaning liquid WHILE washing. The Roboroc mixes it with the water in the tank which the robot works. The Dreame uses water for mopping and just uses the cleaner liquid for washing the mop pads.The fact the mop pads spin (irobot is a flat pad that just pushes the dirty pad around on your floor-then you have to remove and replace after every wash) when the Roboroc returns-it washes the mop pads with hot water!!!!I am watching the path this thing takes while it works and it is so much more organized than the roomba. The live view is great, I can tell my dogs through the live view to leave the robot alone (they harass and follow the vacuum around) and the robot will avoid them too. Go to youtube, watch all the videos.This robot so far is amazing and so much more advanced than the iRobots offered now. Very quiet, you can watch tv while it works! So far, the wifi connected right away and the app works great, but I am still figuring it out.It does not take up anymore space than my s9+ and looks really sleek. This will be my time saver as I have two big dogs, one being super fluffy and need to vacuum everyday. Plus I can mop more effectively with these spinning pads that will actually CLEAN my floors, not spread a dirty pad around.I will update if there are any issues-but if you don't hear any further from me let's just say this is a win and worth the $.
