Saros 10 Series

If you need something low profile the saros 20 is great better as it’s really low and the lidar isn’t on top of the vacuum. I like the rotating mops because they clean but I also have the saros 10 with the vibrating mop that works without issues. The saros 10 has the lidar on top so it’s profile does grow but you can change it in the settings. However I personally feel it might defeat the purpose it’s permanently to off. Both take pictures, if you want, of the objects it gets blocked with and you can set it to ignore them for future if you want. The tank is big so knowing where it will go will either make it standout or be an eyesore. The access to the dirty water tank is easy and great as well as the bag. I however do not have any carpet all laminated. I have a small area rug that is low shag and haven’t had issues.

I have that. We have 4 bowls which are on the floor and a fountain water bowl and both vacuum do not touch it. It shows as an obstacle and you can bypass it to not avoid it or leave it as is. Saros 20 definitely has more advance features than 10. But I think both will still get what you want. It learns and grows with what you need and I have been very happy with the level of clean and avoidance it does.

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.

I actually have two now!! My older Q5+ And my new Saros 10..both are excellent!! I have had the Q5 for many years and just decided to upgrade…so I use the Q5 upstairs and the Saros 10 downstairs!! Can’t go wrong with a Roborock

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.
