Roborock's Saros and Qrevo lines split on one physical decision: what to do with the lidar turret. Published specs compared, plus the questions that decide it.

Nothing in a robot vacuum fails all at once. Typical service windows for the battery, brushes, filters, pads and dock bags, and what genuinely extends them.

Pet hair is a brush problem, not a suction problem. How rubber rollers, split brushes and arc side brushes differ, with picks by coat type and budget.

A worked example of time saved against money spent, with every assumption stated so you can substitute your own, across five Roborock price points.

Roller, spinning and vibrating mops solve different problems, and only one washes itself mid-job. A design-first comparison of Roborock vacuum and mop combos across five price points.

Suction is the least useful way to rank robot vacuums. A three-tier framework built on docks, navigation and mop systems, with the Roborock range placed into it by price.

On a robot spec sheet, "AI" covers five specific technologies. Here is what each one does, how to verify it, and the capabilities the label almost never includes.
