Roborock Saros Series 2025: Four New Models Worth Your Attention

Introduction

Roborock brought a packed lineup to CES 2025, and the standout is the Saros Z70, a robot vacuum with a robotic arm that can actually pick up objects left on the floor. Alongside it, the company introduced three other models: the Saros 10, the Saros 10R, and the F25 stick vacuum. Each one brings something different, and together they cover a wide range of cleaning needs.

Roborock Saros Z70: The Robot Vacuum With an Arm

The headline feature of the Saros Z70 is its robotic arm with a claw. The vacuum cleans normally first, avoiding socks and other objects it could get stuck on. After the main cleaning pass, it returns to those spots, uses the claw to pick up the object, and moves it to an already-cleaned area or a designated spot. This lets it finish cleaning the entire floor without being blocked by small items.

The arm is equipped with a camera and a light sensor, so it can see exactly where it is grabbing. In demonstrations, it worked with impressive accuracy and rarely made a mistake. It can currently lift objects weighing up to 300 grams, which covers towels, tissue papers, and socks. Eventually, it will support up to 50 programmable objects, so you could teach it to pick up dog toys and place them in a specific bin.

Safety is handled with sensors on top of the vacuum that detect what is above it. The claw will not pop out if something is sitting on or directly above the robot, so it will not get stuck on furniture or accidentally grab a pet. The arm is compact, and while it is not strong enough to open doors, it did not feel fragile during the demonstrations.

You can also remotely control the arm through the app. Since the vacuum has a camera, you can drive it around your house from your phone and use the claw to grab items. The Saros Z70 is only 7.98 cm tall, and despite the arm, it still includes high suction power and other premium features.

Roborock Saros 10: Retractable Lidar for Low Clearance

The Saros 10 is another flagship model, positioned as the next evolution of the S8 MaxV Ultra. Its defining feature is called RetractSense. Traditional robot vacuums have a lidar turret on top that sticks up and can bump into furniture when trying to fit underneath. With RetractSense, a sensor on the front of the vacuum detects low-clearance furniture and retracts the lidar turret into the body, allowing the vacuum to slide underneath and clean.

This makes the Saros 10 a strong choice for homes with low sofas, beds, and cabinets. It keeps the high-end cleaning performance you would expect from a flagship, including powerful suction and smart navigation.

Roborock Saros 10R: Spinning Mops and StarSight Navigation

The Saros 10R is the Qrevo-style flagship, featuring spinning mops. Its navigation system uses StarSight, which is a solid-state lidar with 3D time-of-flight sensing. It scans the environment 21 times more frequently than traditional lidar, making it significantly more accurate at detecting objects and avoiding them. In testing, it proved noticeably better at object detection than standard systems.

The Saros 10R also works with the smaller docks that connect to auto drainage, something the Qrevo series never supported. If you have been waiting for a spinning-mop vacuum that works with one of these docks, this model is worth considering.

Roborock F25: A Stick Vacuum That Handles Wet and Dry

The F25 is a stick vacuum, and it is a notable exception in a lineup dominated by robot vacuums. It can suck up solids and liquids at the same time while also mopping the floor. It has a small clean water tank on board, and it mops as it vacuums. The effect looks almost like magic, as it picks up everything in one pass.

This makes the F25 a practical option for kitchens, entryways, and any area where spills and debris happen together.

Shared Features Across the Saros Lineup

All three Saros robot vacuums share several convenience features. They can drop off their mops in the dock, so the mops are not dragging on carpet and spreading dirty water. The docks support fast charging, topping up in about 2.5 hours, which is useful if the vacuum needs to recharge mid-clean and finish before you get home.

The docks also have built-in auto detergent dispensing, so you do not have to manually add detergent to the clean water. All three models work with the smaller docks that connect to auto drainage, eliminating the need to empty dirty water manually.

Anti-tangle brushes are standard. The Saros 10 and 10R use the Dual Divide anti-tangle brush, which handles loose hair well and throws it into the bin without tangling. The Saros Z70 uses a FreeFlow anti-tangle brush, which works like a small razor blade to cut hair, similar to an electric razor.

All three robot vacuums can detect and avoid up to 108 different objects. Suction power is substantial: the Saros Z70 and Saros 10 reach 22,000 pascals, while the Saros 10R is slightly lower at around 20,000 pascals. For context, the S8 MaxV Ultra had 10,000 pascals.

Corner cleaning is handled by the FlexiArm design. The side brush swings out to reach corners, and the spinning mops on the 10R also swing out to clean along walls. The Saros 10 uses a spinning mop similar to the one on the S8 MaxV Ultra.

The AI features are genuinely useful. AI intelligent cleaning learns which rooms are high priority and prioritizes them in the map. It can also detect dirty spots on the floor and return to clean them with more suction or mopping.

All three robot vacuums support Matter 1.4, which will arrive via an over-the-air update. They also work with all major voice assistants, so you can simply ask the vacuum to clean a specific room.

Overall Buying Advice

The Saros Z70 is the most innovative of the group, and it is ideal if you frequently deal with small objects like socks and toys left on the floor. The robotic arm adds a genuinely useful capability that no other robot vacuum offers right now.

The Saros 10 is the best choice if you have low-clearance furniture. The RetractSense feature lets it clean under sofas and beds that would block other vacuums.

The Saros 10R is the one to get if you prefer spinning mops and want the more accurate StarSight navigation. It is also the first spinning-mop model to work with the smaller auto-drainage docks.

The F25 is a great addition if you want a stick vacuum that can handle wet and dry messes in one pass, especially for quick cleanups in kitchens and entryways.

Conclusion

Roborock has packed its latest lineup with features that were previously spread across different models. The Saros Z70, Saros 10, and Saros 10R each bring something distinct, and the F25 rounds out the family with a versatile stick vacuum. If you are in the market for a new cleaning device, any of these four models is worth a close look.
