Roborock Saros Z70

22,000 Pa suction ; Auto-detaching mopping pads ; Reliable navigation ; Slim profile ; Robotic arm is cool (when it works)

Robotic arm functionality isn't great ; Expensive

“The Roborock Saros Z70 is a powerful robot vacuum and mop, but its robotic arm isn’t quite ready for the spotlight.”

Fast, effective cleaning. The best navigation system I’ve ever used. Helpful app points out obstacles.

Battery life is noticeably shorter. OmniGrip doesn’t quite work yet.

Outstanding hard floor pickup, very good obstacle avoidance system, great mopping performance, can fit under very low furniture

Retracts its side brush on carpet, leading to poor performance along edges and in corners

The robotic arm is smart and practical ; Excellent vacuuming and mopping performance ; Superior navigation and obstacle handling ; Quieter than average ; The app is intuitive and feature-rich

Extremely expensive ; Only a 1-year warranty is included with expensive extended warranty options ; The robotic arm is inconsistent and still buggy

Powerful suction and mopping performance ; Flat design ; Absurd battery life ; Comparatively quiet robot vacuum cleaner

The price: a whopping $1,999! ; Robotic arm is disappointing ; Surprising navigation errors

Impressive navigation ; Robust object detection ; Cleans really well ; Innovative robotic arm

Huge limitations on robot arm functionality ; Massive price tag

So about that asterisk.

Genuinely cool and innovative robot arm ; Excellent, maintenance-free dock lasts for weeks ; Intuitive setup and customizable app

Robot arm fails to sort items as promised ; Cleans worse than last-gen Roborocks ; Buggy ; Most expensive robovac by about $1,000

Roborock Saros Z70 Putting a robotic arm inside a robovac is great idea, but the Roborock Saros Z70 comes up short in execution. Maybe version 2.0 will work properly.

Powerful suction ; Excellent mopping ; Clever app

OmniGrip arm is unreliable ; Expensive

With its OmniGrip arm, the Roborock Saros Z70 promises to tidy up as it goes, picking up shoes, socks and the like automatically. Sounds great in theory, but in practice, the arm is very hit-and-miss, failing to collect some items, dropping some and...
