If you are looking for the best of the best in the world of vacuum robots, Roborock Saros 10 is a great option. I have tried several weeks and this is my opinion.
Although other brands have managed to be better known among users due to their low prices, it cannot be denied that Roborock has consolidated as a titan of vacuum and friegasuelos robots. Since its inception, the brand has perfectly mixed technological innovation, care and outstanding performance, gaining the confidence of thousands of homes around the world.
It is not a brand that satisfies with the basics, but seeks every year to overcome the limits of what an aspiring robot can do. And Saros 10 is the reliable proof of this.
The brand, which has maintained a close relationship with Xiaomi in its origins more than 10 years ago, has not only wanted to create a powerful vacuum cleaner, but a comprehensive cleaning assistant capable of adapting to the specific needs of each house and for two weeks we have been able to try it thoroughly.
Brands such as Dreame, with his Dreame X50 Ultra Complete, or Xiaomi herself, with models such as the middle range Vacuum X20 Pro Robot, offer very interesting alternatives. After submitting it to several tests, and taking into account that it costs 1,499.99 euros, I can say that Roborock Saros 10 has a lot to offer. But, Is it enough to justify its high -end price?
Characteristics and technical sheet of Roborock Saros 10
Design: Great elegance thanks to black, but a magnet of footprints and dust
Computer today
The Roborock Saros 10 is committed to a minimalist and elegant design, in this concrete case in black in a set that fits in any house. However, as my grandmother would say, «everything that shines is not gold.»
The finish is beautiful, yes, but too It is a magnet for dust and fingerprints. Taking into account what is dedicated, the robot and especially its sensors will be full of small particles. And speaking of the base station, whose design also in bright black will need a cleaning from time to time for you to remove all those traces.
If you are one of those who become obsessed with cleanliness – like me – this detail can get to frustrate you a little. It’s like having a black car: you know it’s beautiful, hit with everything, it is better than the blank version, but you also know that you will have to wash it every two days.
Despite this, there are details that I love. Speaking of the robot, it has An ultraplane profile of only 7.98 centimeters, which allows it to sneak below the tables, sofas and beds with incredible ease. It is able to get all those fluff and dust from places that require to move whole sofas and sometimes seem almost inaccessible.
The same goes for the base station, which, in this case, I love to be wider than elongated. This is responsible for emptying the dust deposit, cleaning and drying the mopa automatically. It is also a tip that leaves the mop at the station, thus avoiding the ground.

This is one of its strengths. Thanks to the combination of Lidar technology – a laser scanner that maps the environment -, artificial intelligence reactives AI 3.0 and the RGB camera, the robot is able to move around your house without problems and avoid obstacles.
However, not everything is perfect. I have noticed that, sometimes, the robot is too cautious near the corners and the rolling, leaving some areas without cleaning at all. To solve this problem, I have had to adjust the sensitivity in the app and reduce the distance at which the robot detects obstacles. After this change, the cleaning of the corners has improved a lot.

The object detection function, on the other hand, is quite curious, but in my opinion, plus an addition than a real utility. The robot can recognize some basic objects, such as shoes, cables, furniture, and even my cat watching that it does not make anything strange. Sometimes you make mistakes, although in the images you can see that you have nailed it.
For example, on one occasion he confused a part of the carpet with pet waste and dodged it as if it were a pump to explode. It is not what you expect from a robot of 1,500 euros, the truth, but the photos they take are very funny.
Cleaning quality: a gross power for impeccable soils

With 22,000 pa, this robot is able to aspire to all kinds of dirt, from dust and pet hair to crumbs and small pieces of food. I have tested your aspiration capacity on different surfaces – remote, tiles, carpets – and the results have been wonderful in all. I had never taken so much cat’s hair from my carpet. It seems that I had not cleaning it weeks.
But The double rubber brush system is what has really fallen in love with this robot. The two brushes revolve in the opposite direction to lift the dirt and direct it to the suction duct.
In addition, anti-dredos design prevents the hair from enrolle in the brushes, so here I have noticed a great advance with respect to other mid-range robots. Of course, if you have long hair, I would invest in a robot that had any system of this type.
As for the scrubbing, the Vibrarise 4.0 system does a good job, but do not expect miracles. The mopa exerts pressure on the ground to eliminate dirt, but is not as good as a traditional scrub for embedded spots. It is ideal for daily maintenance and to eliminate superficial dirt, but there comes.

An important advice: it is always better aspiring before scrubbing. If you try to do both at the same time, it is likely that the robot leaves traces of the wheels or scrubbing on the ground.
As for the use of detergent, I do not consider it essential, but recommended if you want to add good smell and clean in depth. Saros 10 has an automatic dosing system that adds the fair amount of detergent to water, avoiding excesses or defects. In addition, with the amount of detergent that includes, you have for years, so invest in a quality but, yes, that is for all types of soils.
However, a little big problem I found. If your ground has tiles with drawings, as is my case, be careful, because sometimes the robot confuses them with spots. Especially if the lights are lit. More than once he has thrown several minutes trying to scrub a dark piece of the tile and, with the real spots that are clear, sometimes they jump them.
SOFTWARE: A Total Control Center for Cleaning

The Roborock app is one of the strengths of Saros 10. It is easy to use and allows you to control all aspects of cleaning from your mobile. You can program schedules, establish prohibited areas, adjust the suction power and the amount of water to scrub, and that is just a part.
In my tests, the mapping has been fast and precise. The robot takes little to travel the entire house and create a detailed map that you can edit and customize in the app very easily.
You can delimit prohibited areas – like the feeder of your pet -, establish specific cleaning areas and create custom routines for each room. On the other hand, it also allows you to program that the robot, for example, clean the kitchen daily and the living room only twice a week.
Something that I really loved is the «personalized cleaning» functionas the brand calls it, which allows you to adjust the suction power and the amount of water to scrub in each room. This is perfect if you have different types of land at home.
For example, you can use a high suction power and no water to clean the carpets, a low power for the parquet and an average power with a lot of water to clean your kitchen or bathrooms.
It also allows you to monitor the status of the robot components: it warns you when it is necessary to replace them and, in addition, it tells you how the clean and dirty water tank is located, the level of disinfectant and the remaining percentage of the dust bag with a small blue and red ball – comment that the station also includes a red LED when something goes wrong.
As for Smart Plan, a function with the app to make cleaning routes, I have not found too much use or great use. I prefer to do it totally personalized to fit my tastes and preferences.
Autonomy and Maintenance: Forget about being thrown out of thorough cleaning

With a 6,400 mAh battery, it is able to clean an area of up to 240 square meters with a single load. In my house, which is 90 square meters, the robot has never run out of battery in the middle of the task. Not even using maximum power, and that has made several trips to collect the mop, load water and even clean it again.
As for maintenance, it is a real delight. By having a highway system, the dust bag that includes almost two months, although you can surely lengthen it more if, after each routine, you shake it correctly to eliminate the accumulated.
On the other hand, the 100% mop cleaning and drying system will prevent any type of bacteria and bad odors from coming out. Of course, leave it at least two hours of drying so that it is perfect. You will not make noise, so you don’t even worry about it.
VEDICT: Is Roborock Saros 10 worth it?
Computer today
After thoroughly trying the roborock saros 10, I can say that It is one of the best market vacuum robots. It offers excellent cleaning quality, very precise navigation, a very complete app and almost zero maintenance.
However, It is also expensive. With a price of 1,500 euros, it is not a product for all pockets. If you have a tight budget, there are cheaper options that also have a good performance.
However, you have to understand that if you are looking for a guarantee vacuum robot, you have to go through the pricing ring. If you stay below 500 euros – not if it is the offer of your life – my recommendation is that you continue with the usual brush.
If you can afford it, it is an investment that is worth it. It will save you a lot of time and effort, and you can have your perfect home without moving (almost) or a finger. In addition, it is a product that will accompany you for many years. You have robot for six or seven years, without problems.
If you are one of those people with little time to clean, you have pets or you are even very allergic, I can tell you that this robot will become your great allya good substitute for your lifelong vacuum cleaner – not to the mop – and ceases to be that concept of daily cleaning to thorough cleaning. It is not perfect, but it is very close. If you can afford it, you will not regret it.
