If you have ever wished your home could clean itself, Roborock has been working to make that dream a reality. The brand’s latest release, the Roborock Saros 10R, takes robot vacuuming to the next level with a combination of intelligence, power, and a sleek design that can reach places most vacuums simply cannot.
For Australian households that value technology, convenience, and cleanliness, the Saros 10R is one of the most advanced cleaning companions available in 2025.
A New Standard in Slim Design
The Roborock Saros 10R immediately stands out because of its size. At only 7.98 centimetres tall, it is Roborock’s slimmest robot vacuum yet. This design is not just for looks; it makes a practical difference.
Many homes in Australia feature low-set couches, entertainment units, and platform beds where dust, hair, and crumbs love to gather. Traditional robot vacuums often miss these areas, but the Saros 10R glides underneath with ease. Its low profile means fewer untouched spots and a more consistent clean throughout your home.
The top of the robot features a minimalist design with a central LiDAR dome and a subtle Roborock logo. It looks sleek and modern, fitting comfortably into any home aesthetic.
Serious Suction Power
While its slim design is impressive, the Saros 10R’s power is what really sets it apart. Equipped with 20,000 Pa HyperForce suction, it delivers exceptional cleaning performance on all floor types. That level of suction is among the strongest in the robotic vacuum industry.
Whether you are dealing with pet hair on carpets, crumbs on tiles, or fine dust on floorboards, the Saros 10R handles it with ease. The suction automatically adjusts based on the surface it detects, maximising cleaning efficiency while saving battery life.
This raw power is supported by Roborock’s dual anti-tangle brush system, which includes both a main and side brush designed to resist hair wrapping. This makes it an excellent choice for pet owners or anyone who regularly finds long strands wrapped around traditional vacuum rollers.
Smart Navigation With StarSight 2.0
At the heart of the Roborock Saros 10R’s intelligence is StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, Roborock’s latest AI-powered navigation and obstacle avoidance technology. Using a combination of 3D ToF sensors, cameras, and machine learning, the Saros 10R can recognise more than 100 different household objects.
From slippers to charging cables to pet bowls, it identifies and avoids them in real time. The result is less manual intervention and more reliable cleaning. You will not need to “prep” the house before each clean; the Saros 10R simply adapts to whatever it encounters.
Its LiDAR mapping technology also builds accurate maps of your home. You can see these maps in the Roborock app, divide your home into rooms or zones, and schedule specific areas to clean at particular times.
For instance, you might schedule the kitchen after breakfast or the living room every evening. It is cleaning that fits into your routine, not the other way around.

Dual Spinning Mop System
The Saros 10R is not just a vacuum; it is a vacuum and mop in one. It features dual spinning mop heads that rotate while applying consistent downward pressure to scrub away stains and grime.
Unlike some robotic mops that merely drag a damp cloth across the floor, the spinning mops on the 10R actively clean. The result is noticeably brighter and cleaner hard floors.
When the robot detects carpet, the mop modules automatically lift, preventing damp patches and allowing the vacuum to continue cleaning seamlessly. This automatic transition makes it ideal for homes with mixed flooring — from tiles and timber to carpeted bedrooms.
Multifunctional Dock 4.0: Fully Automated Cleaning
One of the standout features of the Saros 10R is its Multifunctional Dock 4.0. Roborock has designed it to be almost completely self-maintaining.
When the robot finishes cleaning, it returns to the dock where the system automatically empties the dustbin, washes the mop pads with hot water, and dries them to prevent mould or odour. It even refills the clean water tank for the next session.
This means you can go for days or even weeks without touching the robot at all. For busy Australians managing work, family, and life, that kind of automation is a genuine time-saver.
Everyday Use and App Control
Using the Roborock app makes managing the Saros 10R simple. The app lets you:
- View real-time maps of your home
- Set cleaning schedules
- Choose specific rooms or zones to clean
- Adjust suction and mopping intensity
- Set “no-go” or “no-mop” zones
You can also integrate it with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit, allowing you to start cleaning with a simple voice command.
For example, saying “Hey Google, start cleaning the living room” is all it takes for the Saros 10R to get moving.
Built for Australian Homes
Australian homes often combine carpet, hardwood, and tile, and the Saros 10R has been designed with this in mind. Its adaptive suction handles each surface type automatically, and the spinning mop ensures tiles and timber stay spotless.
Pet owners will appreciate how well the robot collects fur and dander, while the hot-water mop cleaning keeps the dock hygienic in warm climates.
Additionally, because of its slim frame, the Saros 10R can easily navigate around and under common Australian furniture styles, including low modular lounges and beds.
Maintenance and Longevity
Although the dock automates most of the maintenance, the Saros 10R is designed for durability. The water tanks and dust bags are easy to replace, and all parts are accessible for cleaning when needed. Roborock also provides spare accessories and replacement parts through its Australian website and authorised retailers.
Battery performance is equally impressive, with the robot capable of running for several hours on a single charge before automatically returning to the dock to recharge.
Price and Value
The Roborock Saros 10R is positioned as a premium robot vacuum, with an Australian retail price of around $2,899 AUD. That places it just below the flagship S8 MaxV Ultra but still very much at the high end of the market.
However, considering its cleaning power, slim design, and advanced automation, it represents excellent value for households that want the best balance between convenience and capability.
Final Verdict
The Roborock Saros 10R redefines what a robot vacuum can do. Its combination of slim design, enormous suction power, intelligent navigation, and fully automated dock make it one of the most complete robotic cleaners ever released.
If you have been waiting for a robot vacuum that truly requires minimal effort, this is the one to watch. It reaches under furniture others miss, cleans efficiently across all floor types, and even scrubs your floors for you.
For Australian families looking to spend less time cleaning and more time living, the Roborock Saros 10R might just be the smartest addition you can make to your home this year.
