The Roborock Saros 20 does that, and it also wins the overall comparison against the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE on a longer battery runtime, dual-band Wi-Fi and a far broader set of smart-home integrations, including Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Matter. The Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE fights back with a typically lower price, which is real value for buyers who do not need Apple Home or Matter. Both robots self-empty at the dock and use LiDAR navigation with multi-room mapping and no-go zones. Smart-home households chasing the most complete feature set should choose the Roborock Saros 20; budget-focused buyers who mainly want Alexa or Google Home should pick the Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE.
