"The Anti-Tangle brush is actually Anti-Tangle. All my previous vacuums would get hair tangled in a single run - I'd clean them at least once a week (neato way more) to get all the hair out. After 24 hours, I see 0 hair stuck. Not one. ... That being said I LOVE the anti-tangle brush. 3 Months and I haven't had to clean the brush one time. It's literally perfect for me."

"The unit was an upgrade from a Roomba S9. That unit did a good job of vacuuming but was very prone to having problems with obstacles. For example, it would launch itself up onto the circular rod -like bases of several of my chairs and become stuck there. They Roborock 10R correctly recognized all of the bases as something to avoid. Some of them get labeled as chair bases and others simply as wires. It has avoided every obstacle."
"Saros 10r is worth buying if you truly need perfect obstacle avoidance ... If you will more often start it when you are out and don't want to check the house before you leave or especially if your pet is home (never know what your pet is up to all day...), I would go with Saros10r, because in this scenario you certainly will be happy for its better obstacle avoidance ... I have developed a habit to check the app afterwards which cords/wires and cat toys it avoided this time (I let it take pics) - I am always surprised to see cat toys in places that I never saw them before and where they also aren't anymore once I get home..."
"And the object avoidance is fantastic. ... It got stuck a single time trying to get into my bathroom where there’s a bit of a jump up onto the tile. ... Has sucked up 0 cords. ... Got stuck on 0 flip flops. ... And had shit mop water onto my floor 0 times."

"the water residue is perfect for me—floors dry quickly but still feel thoroughly cleaned. ... flawless floor-drying"
"For me it's not leaving any streaks or excess water on the floor, so I'm really happy with it."
"Previously we often had stains in the living room from oil/food from our 2-year-old daughter - that's now a thing of the past"

"It’s is SO MUCH more quiet than the s7 it ramped up the suction power from 4000 to 19000 yet I can let it clean my office room while being in a call now."
"the Saros is very quiet imo. ... Even with Carpet Boost on I think it’s quieter than the Dreame X40 I have. ... I think it’s really quiet actually even on carpet with carpet boost on"
"believe it’s much quieter than my S8."

"have furniture that it can fit under while the curv can't. ... For us the answer was "Never lift the couch in a team effort ever again to clean under? Please take our money!!!""
"Somehow manages to fit underneath my super low bed, which I struggled to clean myself with a regular vacuum cleaner."
"It's never been this clean under our beds"

"the 10R needs to be at None to clean the room fully, otherwise it’s useless. ... The system is super sensitive."
"The obstacle avoidance seems worse, maybe even way worse? ... Yesterday when I was messing around with it, it ran into one of my dogs stuffed toys and got stuck on it. ... It also decided to "jump" little tray tables I have under my sofa, and got stuck on a wire behind them. ... This morning was the first time I ran it on a schedule - I do it early before I wake up, but I woke up to it stuck on the cable for my Wife's keyboard, the mop got wrapped in the cable and it pulled it off. ... Just an hour or so ago today, when I was testing the carpet pickup on the second floor, it ran into a sock under my nightstand and got jammed. ... I still find the obstacle avoidance to be pretty mid. It got stuck on wire again this morning and once again lost a mop pad and stopped. ... It doesn't work for cables with me well at all. My wife has a keyboard with foot peddle and it was constantly getting stuck on the cord, pulling the mop pad off. I had to no-go zone that area. I also have a floor fan with a wire that runs across the floor a bit and it got stuck on that a few times too. ... I personally find the object avoidance worse than my S7 MaxV. On top of it being worse (in terms of colliding with objects) the design of the spinning mops makes it more likely to stop the run. Basically my S7 Max V would occasionally run over stuff -- but it would continue going. The mop pad wouldn't get bulled off. The Saros 10R not only seems to hit more objects, but when it does the mop pad often gets pulled off and requires intervention. ... I really think this has to do with the surface types/colors. I have dark grain hardwood floor and a geometric carpet. I think it struggles on this. ... For things like leaves, it goes around them, when it could easily suck them up, which is annoying. ... The sock is weird though - white sock on a brown rug.. and it didn't just tap it and move it, it ran it over and got stuck."
"My biggest complaint is that it runs over cables and clothing sometimes"

"Whenever I do this with our 10R, I do find stuff in the dustbin, but there is never all that much. ... When the S8 goes through right afterwards, it's dustbin is completely full. The S8 that recleaned an already cleaned (by the 10R) room picks up five times as much stuff."
"All of the other Qrevo models use the same split single rollers with auto detangling as is used in the Saros 10R . None of the other Qrevo models will give you really good vacuuming performance. ... You can have a robovac with these rollers vacuum your house three times and it will not come out as clean as a dual roller model will the first time. ... The difference in vacuuming ability is immediately noticable when seen side by side."
"Our S8s consistently come back with four to five times the amount of debris than any other robovac I have ever sent in first, including our fancy new Saros 10R. ... The S8s still vacuum carpets and rugs much, much better. ... I think the dual rollers brushes agitate carpets and rugs better than the single split roller on the Saros models leading to better dirt, dust and hair pickup. ... The S8 just picks up far more dust, dirt and hair than the Saros 10R."

"the unit definitely needs better firmware. ... poor software behind it. ... I also discovered I need to tell the unit to “ignore” items within the map, something I’ve never had to do before with the Qrevo Edge."
"no notifications when tasks finish, when mop pads are removed, or when drying starts."
"will sometimes be a buggier and less polished navigation experience."

"the vacuuming ability of the $1500 Saros 10R was so poor compared to my S8s, the I only use the Saros 10R for mopping."
"even with the vacuum set to Turbo, even small crumbs were left on the ground. ... The vacuuming performance felt like an obvious defect ... it just left so many crumbs."

"on all the dirty water tank stinks"

Got the same deal on their website. 899€ in german Roborock Store and then a 10% Discount Code via the "spinning wheel" in the landing page.
Bang for buck - mova p10 ultra Money is no object/I want the best - roborock Sara's 10r or dreame x50 ultra Budget/cheapest option changes alot based on sales. Just the other week I bought a refurbished L10s ultra for $240 Honorable mention - the new eufy e28 can be had for $800. I think its worth considering because the roller mop system they have going seems to do really good for mopping in general.
they make them with split tangle free rollers now I would go to the ROBOROCK site and look at the features before you decide Especially in regards to the hair getting tangled in the rollers... there is a difference between models Also, that particular feature you are asking for where the little sweeper jumps down into the corner and grabs the hair out and also the mop does the same thing. There are several models that have that feature and other models that are cheaper that do not. So definitely do your research before buying Another thing I'm not so sure about you getting it from Costco. I would go to Amazon and go to ROBOROCK online shop before you do anything from Costco but that's just me. Costco in those stores buy these things in bulk and they sit in a warehouse.... if you order something straight from ROBOROCK or online at Amazon and in ROBOROCK ships it... you know it's pretty factory fresh. But this is true of all the discount big box stores.... They cut deals with the manufacturers for large quantities of a particular model, even renaming the model.... be careful of dealing with those big box stores. I had the original Q Revo I ran it for a year and I did have to every weekend take the single roller out and get the hair off the ends no big deal just something you learned to do every Saturday I have since given it to my daughter because it works so good and bought myself a SOROS 10R ... partly because it has the same great mops as the QRevo and partly because it fits under my cabinets, nice and tight and has swing outs that go into the corners and gets all the junk out and partly because it has a split roller system that does not send the hair out to the ends, but groups it back toward the middle where it gets sucked into the dust bin My two dogs and my wife's hair are no longer a problem ;)
u/JustinP_RTINGS I went down the rabbithole after you posted this incredibly helpful post. Pulled the trigger on the RoboRock Saros 10R. In your experience, what is the best option for detergent? On Amazon you can buy the stuff from other brands. Some users come up with their own concoctions. The thing is: I want the best result and if possible at the nicest possible prices. I also have a follow-up question regarding 3rd party spareparts from Amazon/AliExpress for the Saros 10R? Am I gonna damage stuff going for non-RoboRock parts and detergent?
Can't, not available where I live yet…but very happy with my 10R that we had to wait months for the local release.
Saros 10R! Paid €850 in Europe on sale. Wouldn’t want anything else.
It's definitely an upgrade to the standard dragging a wet cloth. Flagship Saros 10 is using vibrarise too but its a bit more updated and has more vibration and downward pressure. Not sure how big of a difference in terms of performance it is compared to the S8. If you can find S8 for a good price then I think you wont be disappointed I also think when choosing between rotating and Vibration mops its about preference and what type of floor you have. The rotating mops are using more water I believe and could have a tendency to leave wet streaks on floors
For mopping, ideally you will want spinning mop pads and the largest water tanks available (unless you're able to run plumbing). You will likely need to refill the clean water and empty the dirty water tanks daily if the court is regularly used. The Saros 10R has a large clean water tank in the dock but a small on-board tank (65mL vs 80-100mL on other Roborocks) so even though it will do the job, it will also need to dock and refill more often, so probably the least efficient solution with a ton of features you won't care about. The QRevo series is probably ideal. You probably won't care about having the best obstacle avoidance, so even a slightly older one with spinning mop pads will probably be more than enough. I'd probably buy 2 of the QRevo Plus or something similar and have it clean the court from both ends. But really, a consumer robot isn't really the best solution. You will definitely be running these robots to their limit every single day, and you will have a ton of consumable costs.
That all sounds very positive then! I just ordered the 10R since it looked like a considerable price reduction for the holidays, I'm looking forward to seeing it map my house (not sure why I find that so appealing).
That's great! I saw that having it be able to learn certain rooms so you can just say "go vacuum the kitchen" was pretty amazing! The 10R is what I just decided to order since the price looked reduced for the holidays, I'm looking forward to learning more about it!
Bought the Roborock Saros 10R, it’s awesome. If you live in a single story with disposable income I’d get it.
