3month Roborock Saros 10r Review An Upgrade From
After three months, there is literally zero hair wrapped around it.
The lower profile allows it to get under furniture that the S7 couldn't, like my couch.
Hey everyone, When I was researching the Roborock Saros 10R, I struggled to find detailed user reviews, and the ones I did find were pretty mixed. After three months of daily use, I wanted to share my experience to help others who might be on the fence, especially those coming from an older model like the S7. My Household: I live in an apartment with kids but no pets. My previous robot was the Roborock S7 (the vacuum-only model, no dock). # First Impressions & Design Right out of the box, the Saros 10R feels like a premium, well-built machine. What immediately stood out compared to my S7 were two things: * It's significantly quieter. The difference is huge. It's much less disruptive during the day. * It's noticeably thinner. The lower profile allows it to get under furniture that the S7 couldn't, like my couch. # Vacuuming Performance I was worried that a smaller, quieter robot might mean a drop in cleaning power, but that hasn't been the case. * Suction Power: I haven't noticed any difference in vacuuming performance between the Saros 10R and my S7, which I consider a big win. It picks up everything just as effectively. * Tangle-Free Main Brush: This is a game-changer. The new brush design is incredible. After three months, there is literally zero hair wrapped around it. I'm seriously impressed with how well this works. # Navigation & Object Avoidance This is where the Saros 10R truly shines and feels like a massive leap forward from the LiDAR-only S7. * Obstacle Detection: The combination of solid-state LiDAR and cameras is night and day better. In the past three months, it has only gotten tangled two or three times, which is a huge improvement. It navigates around shoes, small toys, and cables with impressive accuracy. * A Note for Parents: While the object avoidance is excellent, I'd still recommend a quick tidy-up in a kid's room full of LEGOs and other small toys before running it. It's smart, but not magic! # Mopping Performance It's hard to quantify mopping performance without a scientific test, but my floors look and feel clean. * Effectiveness: The best evidence I have is the dirty water tank—it's always filthy after a run, so it's definitely picking up a lot of grime that I don't see. * Self-Cleaning & Drying Mop: This is the single biggest quality-of-life improvement over the S7. With my old S7, I had to remove and wash the mop pad immediately, or it would develop a nasty mildew smell. The Saros 10R's dock washes and dries the mop automatically, so it *never* smells. I haven't even needed to buy spare mop pads. Pro Tip: I add a couple of spoons of white vinegar to the *dirty* water tank. This prevents any odors from developing in the tank before I empty it. I believe it changes the pH and stops microorganisms from growing. # The Docking Station The dock has been flawless. It's truly a "set it and forget it" system. I just recently changed the dust bag for the first time after nearly three months of daily runs, which is fantastic longevity. # Little Things I Love * Silent Movement: The robot can move from one area to another without engaging the vacuum motor or side brush. When it's just repositioning, it's almost silent, with only the sound of the wheels. * Magnetic Top Cover: The cover over the internal dustbin is held on by magnets, which is a nice touch. # Minor Annoyance * The magnetic cover on the robot can sometimes get dislodged if it goes under very low furniture and the top scrapes against it. This has happened 2-3 times when it was cleaning under my couch, but it's easy to pop back on. # Final Verdict The upgrade from a standalone S7 to the Saros 10R with its all-in-one dock has been a fantastic experience. The quieter operation, superior object avoidance, and especially the self-cleaning/drying mop have made a huge difference in convenience and cleanliness. If you're coming from an older model, the improvements are signifi [truncated]

Roborock Saros 10r Very Poor First Impression
It kept going in circles between one of the chair's legs
The vacuuming was also very quiet compared to our S7.
If You Merged The S8 Maxv Ultra And Q Revo
the split roller design is great no more trapped hairs on the ends
the 10r lower profile gets under everything
If You Merged The S8 Maxv Ultra And Q Revo
the brushes are not the best at preventing that

The edge and 10r both have the same duo divide main brush which works very well.

I also find it does better with corners (due to the mop being able to rotate out).
The 10R dock is much quieter when emptying - which is nice
when it works - more on that in the negative section
A Week With The Dji Romo S And How It Compares To
One thing I like is how precise it cleans the edges next to my carpet, compared to the others.
So, after spending a week with the Saros 10R, I decided to return it (since there was no option for a direct trade) due to an issue with water leaking. A bit of a shame, since I liked it as stated in my last thread. Instead of ordering another 10R, I found a deal (<€800) on the DJI Romo S, and decided to try it out. There are some reviews out there from Germany and Asia, but since this model is not available in the US, information and direct comparisons are more limited. MSRP on these things is ridiculous, but the same can be said imo of many robots. Luckily, with some luck and patience, a more reasonable price can be found and I ended up paying over €100 less than for the 10R. Preface: our robots are first and foremost for maintenance. We do not have any pets, and only one easy to vacuum rug. In this respect, there is little challenge. I'm also not interested in having a robot mop up wet or combined messes, that's what a vac mop is for, and even a budget model will do it quicker and better than any robot. We do however have a toddler running around, which means daily maintenance is needed as anyone with a toddler will attest, and random objects can appear in the most unusual places. We also have difficult to navigate furniture with sharp corners and edges, so our absolute priority is navigation (around furniture) and obstacle detection. In this respect the Saros 10R was better than the CurvX (which is our upstairs unit) which occasionally had difficulties with the furniture. Obstacle detection on the CurvX is pretty good, although it would also occasionally miss out on something like half an eaten biscuit under the sofa. The Saros never encountered one, so I can't attest if it would have gotten it. Now, our upstairs floor in this respect is more predictable, and the CurvX not once missed recognizing a common object like a cable, bathroom scale, a piece of clothing.. It's no slouch, but as said, our living room can be more of a challenge. Enter the Romo S. It has been running with the optional bristle brushes, since they are more similar to what is on the CurvX/Saros, and makes for a more direct comparison. Setup was trouble free and straightforward. The app is slightly different than the Roborock app, but let's be honest, all of these apps are very similar and there's features in both, missing in the other. Like others have noted, what is immediately apparent is how smooth this thing drives around. It's cleaning pattern is different in that does the room edge at the end of its cleaning instead of first, and when doing a checker pattern it also does the edge run twice, compared to once on the Roborocks. It also moves very smooth between my difficult to navigate furniture. Only once during a spot run did it try to climb over one of my couch legs for some reason, which it couldn't, but I did not have to intervene manually. This was in the evening, I'm not sure why it didn't catch it - anyhow, that was a one time occurance, but just to show you that nothing is perfect. What's also interesting is that even at the highest object detection sensitivity, it doesn't back away from the objects a whole lot. It has so far never caught on to anything here, but if I were DJI I'd put in an option to disable the sidebrush when it detects an object, as I can see it catching certain things, despite detecting them. In terms of vacuuming performance, I can't say it performs better or worse than the Roborock offerings, my home probably isn't challenging enough - it does its job well. One thing I like is how precise it cleans the edges next to my carpet, compared to the others. There is an app option where it scales it suction power, moves slower, and slows down the side brush, when it encounters heavy debris. I'm not sure how this works, but I do know that dark spots on floors (knots, or even dark tiled floors) can cause the suction to rampant. Doesn't bother me since it mostly runs when we're out, but mentioning it nonetheless.
