iRobot Roomba Max 715 Vac Robot + AutoEmpty Dock vs Roborock Saros 10

What owners say

Owners of the Roborock Saros 10 describe a robot that cleans well and looks after itself. They praise the suction and mopping, with several noting it pulls a surprising amount of dog hair and dust from hard floors and under beds, and that the vibrating mop reaches corners and edges and washes itself often at the dock. Navigation is a highlight too: buyers report accurate mapping, obstacle avoidance that even photographs what it dodged, and a robot that rarely gets stuck and will nudge ajar doors open to keep cleaning. The self-maintaining dock, which empties dust and dirty water and refills clean water and detergent, is the feature they rave about most, letting many tend the station only every few days. Their complaints centre on cost: it is expensive, pads and bags add up, it ships without any floor cleaner and relies on disposable dock bags, and intensive runs are slow and need the tanks topped up often.
