Roborock Saros 10
Verdict
The Roborock Saros 10 introduces a retractable lidar tower so it can stay low enough for more furniture while still scanning rooms like a tall, top-lidar flagship. Combined with the shared threshold-lift system across the Saros lineup, it looks well suited for homes with lots of door lips and low sofas where clearance and navigation flexibility both matter.
