roborock Saros 10 Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Mop, 22,000 Pa, 3.14-Inch Ultra Slim, Zero-Tangling, AI 3.0 Obstacle Avoidance, Auto Detachable Mop, 80°C Mop Washing, Hot Water Dock Self Cleaning (White)

Wish I’d bought one sooner. Does the bulk of the vacuuming and mopping so I can get on with other cleaning. I still vacuum and mop throughout the week to get underneath furniture or tight gaps it can’t reach. Charges quickly, very sleek hub design. Simple to change the water tanks. Doesn’t come with detergent but bought separately through Amazon and lasts a long time. Easy to use the app, you can select the areas you want it to clean and specify how thoroughly you’d like it to clean. Amazing camera feature to check the dogs and house if needed. Overall, I’d definitely recommend!

I was looking forward to the launch of the Saros 10 as a replacement for my Roborock S7 MaxV, which we'd been very happy with, but the Saros 10 promised to address a few of the shortfalls of the S7. Unfortunately, after a couple of weeks of use, I'm feeling that it's overall a step backwards from the S7 and that I've wasted a lot of money upgrading.Before I go into my reasoning, if you're looking at the reviews and ratings on here, note that any before Feb 2025 are for a totally different model, the QRevo, so don't be misled into thinking the 4.5 stars relate to the Saros 10.First, the good. The S10 is much quieter than the S7 in everything it does. It also seems to do a better job at picking up hair without tangling. The dock looks nicer too, and now includes mop drying.Now onto the bad:- The obstacle recognition on carpet is worse than the S7. Cables under a unit that my S7 recognised without fail, the S10 tries to eat every time. As well as failing to see other items around the house that my S7 would see, It will also try to 'mount' things that my S7 knew to avoid like our cat feeders, which means I have to set a no-go area for somewhere I specifically want it to clean.- The navigation logic is worse. I have an area behind a sofa that is visible, but sometimes inaccessible. Rather than recognise when it couldn't get access, the S10 spent 45 minutes trying to get into it. Even when it gave up, it started heading into the next room only to change its mind and go back and try again for a further 5 minutes.- The extendable side brush rarely extends. I have loads of spaces in the kitchen where I hoped this would could into its element, but it stays tucked in for 90% of the time when it would be useful extended.- The self-lift over our high kitchen threshold worked great for a couple of times, but now the robot approaches it at an angle which means even though lifted, it still has to rely on momentum, angles and a couple of brute force attempts like the S7 did- The self-detaching mop was important to us, but again it doesn't work properly. At first it was good, on the SmartPlan program it would detach the mop at the start while it vacuumed a rug and then our carpeted lounge, but despite nothing having changed it now picks the mop up again and wets it before hitting the lounge, despite not attempting to mop the carpet (so it clearly knows it's carpeted). This means the freshly-wet mop lightly drags over our carpet.- Although the dock looks nicer than the S7 one, it's less practical. The water reservoirs have to be fully removed from the dock and opened to see how full/empty they are. The closing mechanism is also cheap compared to the proper latch on the S7 dock, with the S10 it's just a simple clip that relies on the plastic bending when you shut the lid, like a clip on a cheap storage box lid. As the lid also serves as the handle, I don't feel confident carrying them around when filling/emptying.So, in short, I'm left disappointed. In it's own right it's a good robot vacuum, but in the real world of my house it's not better than other models that are half its price including my old S7 MaxV, despite its potential on paper. Unfortunately, I'd already promised my S7 to a family member otherwise I'd probably already have returned the S10. As it is, I still might do in favour of an older model.
