What the differences mean

Navigation

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock uses a camera (VSLAM) and needs the lights on, which owners say makes it struggle in the dark. The Roborock Saros 10 uses retractable LiDAR that maps accurately and avoids obstacles with the lights off.

Battery life

The Roborock Saros 10 is rated at 220 minutes and the iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock at 175, so the Roborock covers a larger floor before it returns, and it recharges in about 2.5 hours against the combo's 3.

Connectivity

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock joins 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and adds Bluetooth, while the Roborock Saros 10 is 2.4 GHz only. On a dual-band router the iRobot is the easier one to set up and place.

Onboard bin

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock carries a 300 ml onboard bin and the Roborock Saros 10 a 270 ml one. Both self-empty into their docks, so the small difference only matters between dock returns on a very large floor.

Dock water handling

The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock refills its own water and washes and dries the mop pad. The Roborock Saros 10 goes further by also draining the dirty water and dispensing detergent automatically, so it asks less of its owner.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock owners and Roborock Saros 10 owners both value a dock that empties and cleans the mop without being touched, and both groups praise setup and mapping. iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock owners applaud the AutoWash dock, accurate mapping and quiet runs, with one running it through Apple HomeKit for weeks, while they warn about failures after a few weeks, unfinished jobs, recurring bin and dirty-water errors and a camera that needs light. Roborock Saros 10 owners talk about strong suction, retractable LiDAR that rarely gets stuck and a self-maintaining dock, and their main gripe is that no floor cleaner is included.
