It mops, washes, dries, lifts and doses detergent, self-empties, and lists 22,000 Pa, a 220 minute runtime and a 79.8 mm body, plus Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty is vacuum-only, with a self-empty base, Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant, and it is the more affordable option. Its suction is not published, so 22,000 Pa is not a scored win over it. Pick the Roborock Saros 10 to vacuum and mop. Pick the Shark if you only want hair and dust removed.

What the differences mean

Mopping

The Roborock Saros 10 mops with a 4 L tank, washes and dries the pad, lifts it for carpet and doses detergent. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty does not mop. That is the whole product difference: one is a maintained mop combo, the other is a vacuum with a bin in the base.

Smart home

The Roborock Saros 10 lists Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, with Bluetooth and a child lock. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty lists Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant only, on 2.4 GHz, with no child lock and no Bluetooth.

Body and runtime

The Roborock Saros 10 runs 220 minutes, charges in 2.5 hours, and stands 79.8 mm tall, with a 270 ml onboard bin and a 2.7 L dock bag. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty runs 110 minutes and charges in 6 hours. Its body size, suction and dock volume are not published. The onboard bin is 189 ml.

Suction, with a limit

The Roborock Saros 10 publishes 22,000 Pa. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty does not publish suction, so the Pa figure cannot be called a win. What you can say is that the Shark is aimed at pet hair and thresholds, which is what its owners describe, not a number.

What owners say

Owners of the Roborock Saros 10 and the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty agree that a dock which empties itself is the feature they stop noticing, in a good way. Roborock Saros 10 owners single out suction under beds, a mop that reaches edges and washes itself, and mapping that rarely gets stuck. They complain that no floor cleaner ships in the box, that bags and pads add up, and that thicker carpet is less thorough. Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty owners, often with several pets, single out threshold climbing and shedding pickup, and they complain about a basic app, 2.4 GHz pairing trouble, and the odd missed patch.
