What the differences mean
Runtime
The iRobot Roomba 415X is rated for 200 minutes, 20 minutes more than the 180 minutes of the Roborock Saros 10R. It is a modest edge, most useful in a large home.
Smart home
Both work with Alexa and Google Home. The Roborock Saros 10R adds Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter and supports Home Assistant; the iRobot Roomba 415X does not support Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter, and iRobot does not document Home Assistant support.
Detergent
Both take floor cleaner, but only the Roborock Saros 10R doses it automatically from the station. With the iRobot Roomba 415X you add it yourself.
Suction
22,000 Pa against 20,000 Pa is a gap you are unlikely to notice. Owners of both praise pickup on pet hair and dust.
Size
The iRobot Roomba 415X measures 298 x 303 mm and 84 mm tall; the Roborock Saros 10R is 350 x 353 mm and 79.8 mm tall. The Roomba fits tighter gaps between chair legs, the Roborock slides under slightly lower furniture.
Which one to buy if
- your home is large and you want one uninterrupted run

What owners say
Owners of both robots praise a dock that empties the bin and washes and dries the mops, quiet runs and a slim body that reaches under furniture. iRobot Roomba 415X owners single out suction that pulls dust from floor cracks, mop pads that lift over rugs so one run covers both, and quiet enough operation for overnight schedules, while they complain about an app that trips over room names and error messages and hair tangling around the mop module. Roborock Saros 10R owners, many of them former Roomba owners, talk about higher-pressure mopping, solid-state LiDAR that reaches furniture legs without scraping them and brushes that stay free of long hair, and their complaints are no floor cleaner in the box, heavy water use and a small gap left between the mop pads.
