The Roborock Saros 10R has introduced solid-state LiDAR, the first StarSight 2.0 navigation and obstacle recognition, Vertibeam lateral obstacle avoidance, all in a svelte 79.8mm high body.
We have been testing it for four weeks at the homes of four panellists, and they are impressed.
- One of the best obstacle avoidance systems ever seen.
- Love the 79.8mm height – gets under low furniture and built-in cupboard overhangs.
- Its roller brush gobbles pet hair.
- The AdaptiLift chassis lifts to 40mm and does not get stuck on rugs. It can lift the chassis, mop, main brush and side brush as needed.
- The mop drop for carpets is a nice feature
- Seems to charge very quickly
- AI clean is the best – gets to know your home
When asked which Roborock they would prefer, the Roborock Saros 10 – the thinnest, smartest robot vacuum/mop or this they were equally divided. Some really like the 10’s mini-mop but would be happy with either. The main difference was the 10‘s platten mop versus the 10R’s rotating mop.

While the final review is a week away, this and its close cousin, the Saros 10, are fine examples of Roborock’s design and innovation.
They both get our buy recommendation, especially if you can snag a bargain.
