Roborock - Saros 10 Series

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.

I bought the X11, flow w/ compact dock, & the saros 10 w/ the drain & fill station. Have had then all for about 2 months & don’t really have complaints with any. Wanted to test them all & the flow & X11 edge out the 10 imho. The best feature for me on the X11 is the bagless dust bin. Have a few dogs so it makes really easy to dump out the dirt & put it back in vs getting a new bag putting it in etc. In regards to your concerns: So far it hasn’t gotten stuck but I also added invisible walls in previous trouble areas for other models but durning mapping it had no issues. No issue finding the charging station I haven’t noticed it randomly stopping & going to a different room. This could be user error where the room has been split & the user selected a different order for the rooms to be cleaned. When I first had it map the house, I have a large room with some kitchen islands that the robot auto segmented as a different room. I didn’t immediately fix it & when I let it clean it did that “room” first & the rest of the room third after cleaning another room second as that was the order I had set in the app. There are some settings you can play with in terms of mop cleaning consistency & emptying the dust bin, I have dogs so I have it return multiple times a cleaning session. Ironically with the X11’s fast charging most of the time it returns to the dock at the end of the cleaning cycle only missing 10% because of its frequent top ups (which are optional). No navigational issues to note.

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!
