Roborock Saros 10 Robot Vacuum with Dual Anti-tangle System (Upgraded from S8 MaxV Ultra)

No plumbing is needed; this dock runs from a wall outlet with self-contained tanks under a tempered glass lid that opens with a press. It washes the mop with dynamic hot water, 122 F for starch, 140 F for oil, and 176 F for disinfection, which Roborock says removes 99.99 percent of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, dries it with heated air, empties the dustbin into a sealed bag, refills the robot with warm water, doses detergent automatically, and fully charges the 6,400 mAh battery in 150 minutes. You fill the clean tank, empty the dirty tank, top up detergent, and change the bag; the Saros 10 with Refill and Drainage System is the same robot with a plumbed dock.

The RetractSense Navigation System lowers the LiDAR turret into the body, taking the robot from 3.68 inches (93.5 mm) with the sensor raised to 3.14 inches (79.8 mm) retracted, so it passes under low sofas and beds and raises the sensor again in open space; a wide-angle vision module, upward range finder, and top contact sensor keep it from getting wedged. ReactiveAI 3.0 combines front triple structured light, an RGB camera, and VertiBeam lateral structured light to spot cords, shoes, pet bowls, and low obstacles along walls, and the app adds pet recognition, pet snaps, search for the pet, and video calls. Roborock states the AdaptiLift chassis crosses thresholds up to 1.57 inches (4 cm), such as a 1.18 inch step plus a track.

VibraRise 4.0 scrubs with two sonic vibration zones at 4,000 times per minute each and up to 8 N of downward pressure, and the robot mops with water heated up to 158 F (70 C). The mop cloth mount detaches automatically at the dock in modes where mopping is not needed, so carpet is vacuumed with nothing damp underneath, and the edge mop lifts independently and lowers only along edges; make sure Auto-Detach/Reinstall Mop Cloth Mounts is enabled in the app. The DuoDivide main brush and FlexiArm Riser side brush are rated by Roborock at a 0 percent hair tangle rate and 100 percent hair removal on carpet.

Bluetooth is only for easier network setup: it bridges the robot and your Wi-Fi during pairing to reduce connection failures, and it cannot control the robot on its own, so 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi is still required for the app. The built-in Hello Rocky assistant is enabled by default and processes commands on the robot, so start, pause, dock, and suction or water changes work offline, while room commands and schedules need the Roborock app. Amazon Alexa and Google Home are supported, and Roborock lists Matter support, including Apple Home, as arriving through an over-the-air update.

The Saros 10 connects to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only; 5 GHz is not supported, so on a dual-band router join the 2.4 GHz network by name. Amazon Alexa and Google Home are supported once the robot is linked in the Roborock app; for Alexa, enable the Roborock Plus skill, sign in with your Roborock account, and run Discover Devices. If pairing fails, check the password, allow location and local network permissions for the app, turn off any VPN or cellular data, select your home network rather than the robot's own hotspot, and avoid WEP security or special characters in the network name.

The mop cloth is only washed if it was used, and the robot only returns for a mid-run wash when it started from the dock with the dock on the map. Auto-emptying and auto-drying each have to be enabled in the app, emptying skips when the dust container cover is off, and reduced emptying or an unusual emptying noise usually means the main brushes or brush cover are not seated. The robot will not resume a paused job during Do Not Disturb (22:00 to 08:00 by default) or if you placed it on the dock by hand; if it will not charge, check both ends of the power cord, and if it behaves oddly, restart it.

Clean the main brush every 2 weeks and replace it every 6 to 12 months; clean the side brush monthly and replace it every 3 to 6 months; rinse the washable filter every 2 weeks and replace it every 6 to 12 months; wash the mop cloth as needed and replace it every 3 to 6 months. Change the dust bag when it is full, rinse the cleaning tray, water filter, charging contacts, and sensors as needed, and refill the detergent cartridge by opening its lid, adding Roborock cleaning solution, and clicking it back into the dock. Use only cold water in the tank and never disinfectant, and run the robot between 39 and 104 F (4 to 40 C).

Put the dock on a hard, level floor against a wall with at least 0.8 m (2.62 ft) of height, 0.42 m (1.38 ft) of width, and 1 m (3.28 ft) of depth kept clear. Roborock lists obstacles near the dock as the usual reason the robot cannot return, so clear them or move the dock to an open area, and wipe the signal window on the dock and the robot's front sensor. If the robot was carried to another room, set it on the dock by hand so it can relocate itself on the map; the app supports up to 30 room partitions per map.

Roborock lists 52 dB(A) in quiet mopping mode and 72 dB(A) while the dock empties the bin. The box holds the robot, the dock with a disposable dust bag pre-installed, the dock base, one spare disposable dust bag, the power cord, and the user manual; the robot is sold in black or white.

Roborock covers new products such as the Saros 10 with a one-year limited warranty from the purchase date against defects in materials and workmanship. Consumables such as filters, brushes, mop cloths, and dust bags are not covered, and normal wear, cosmetic damage, misuse, unauthorized repairs, and commercial use are excluded; a unit repaired or replaced under warranty stays covered for 90 days or the rest of the original term, whichever is longer. Keep your receipt, because without proof of purchase the warranty period runs from three months after the factory ship date. Warranty and technical support run through Roborock US at support-us@roborock.com or 1-855-960-4321 (24/7); RoboticsSelect is an authorized dealer, ships free within the contiguous U.S., and accepts standard returns within 30 days.
