iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock vs Roborock Saros 10R

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated August 2026
Data from Amazon and official iRobot and Roborock sites.
2026 verdict
The iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max robot + AutoWash dock takes this robot vacuum comparison on price and connectivity, coming in as the more affordable option while adding Bluetooth and IFTTT support the Roborock Saros 10R lacks. Both are vacuum-and-mop combos that self-empty and clean their pads at the dock, and both work with Alexa, HomeKit, Google Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The Saros, however, has strong counters: a higher owner rating, a longer 180-minute runtime versus the Combo's 120, a 22000Pa suction rating, quiet 65dB operation, and solid-state LiDAR that maps in the dark, where the Combo's camera (VSLAM) needs the lights on. Choose the Combo 10 Max for the lower price and its Bluetooth and IFTTT extras; the Saros 10R is the higher-rated, more powerful and longer-running flagship.
