Roborock Saros 10
Verdict
The Roborock Saros 10 is a more expensive flagship that offers slightly better obstacle avoidance and comparable navigation to the Yeedi S14, but with weaker suction and clearly inferior mopping that leaves more water and streaks. Unless you strongly prefer the Roborock ecosystem, the S14 generally delivers better overall cleaning performance and value in this comparison.
Pros
