Owning a robot vacuum that is constantly getting stuck on floor obstacles is, to put it bluntly, kind of useless. The point of an autonomous floor cleaner is that its autonomous, so the sound of your robot starting its cleaning cycle shouldn’t send you sprinting about the house to pick up everything from sneakers to dog toys. The industry-best smart navigation of Roborock’s Saros 10R is a Black Friday steal for 38% off its regular price ($999 down from $1,599), and it’s your gateway to truly autonomous floor cleaning.

A home that’s turned into an obstacle course by objects and furniture is normal. Robot vacuums have been trying to catch up to that simple fact for years, but the Saros 10R may have actually achieved it. The brand-new AI-powered StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 has reset the market for navigation and obstacle avoidance, giving the Saros 10R the ability to recognize over 108 types of objects and plan its path on the fly for uninterrupted cleaning. Of course, the Saros 10R does far more than just navigate — it’s an elite-level vacuum and mop that lives up to its status at the top of the Roborock lineup, and more than earns its Black Friday price of $1,050.
Thin Is In
The Saros 10R is Roborock’s thinnest robot ever, barely over 3 inches in height. The dust bunnies that have taken refuge under your couches, shelves, and other furniture are now officially on the endangered list, because the Saros 10R can get under more low-clearance furniture than any Roborock ever. Combined with the StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, the exceptionally low profile of the Saros 10R allows it to cover and thoroughly clean more floor area than virtually any other robot vac on the market.
At the heart of this innovative navigation system is the industry’s first dual-transmitter 3D ToF (time of flight), which sends out a sampling frequency a staggering 21 times higher than the industry standard LDS (laser distance sensor) tech. This gives the Saros 10R the power to detect and avoid objects as small as 0.78 inches square, exactly the kind that will invariably get stuck in the rollers of most other robot vacuums. This comes in especially handy when dealing with some of the most common robot-snagging floor obstacles of all — power cords and charging cables.

The StarSight system also gives the Saros 10R unparalleled mapping ability, with its 3D scanning using 21,600 sensor points to capture and store precise outlines, and then “see” and avoid them in future cleaning runs.
Unparalleled Cleaning Power
The Saros 10R wouldn’t be a Roborock if it was anything less than an elite-level cleaning machine. Roborock’s highly innovative DuoDivide Anti-Tangle Brush collects hair and pet fur and moves it through the center divide into the dustbin inlet, where it’s pulled away from the roller. The result: a 0% hair tangling rate. Roborock’s other trademark advanced cleaning feature, the FlexiArm Riser Side Brush, extends into corners to dislodge dirt and dust that eludes lesser units, guiding it into the path of the HyperForce suction power.
The Saros 10R has two FlexiArm extenders — the second working the same magic in corners and along baseboards when the robot is in mopping mode. The Saros 10R is an outstanding mop for hard-surfaced floors, due in part to its unparalleled ability to clean its own mop heads. (Again — autonomous is the key.) The 10-in-1 Multifunctional Dock 4.0 uses water heated up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit to remove even the most stubborn mess from the mop head, and warm air to dry it so it’s ready to go again. Another brilliant mopping feature is the Saros 10R’s ability to auto-detach its mop head for when you know you only want to vacuum.
As many homes have thresholds or other types of barriers separating their carpeted floors from the hard-surfaced ones, the industry-first AdaptiLift power of the Saros 10R is yet another guarantee that it can and will clean your entire floor on its own without needing to summon you for help because it’s stuck or trapped. The AdaptiLIft works for the chassis, brush, and mop heads up to 1.57 inches, enough to conquer most thresholds and carpet borders.
Dock Does It All
The same 10-in-1 Multifunctional Dock 4.0 that does such a great job intelligently self-cleaning the Saros 10R’s mop head — or removing it for vacuum-only missions — also holds dust for up to 70 days before needing to be emptied — roughly 5 to 6 times per year, refills the robot with detergent for peak mopping ability, and rapidly recharges the Saros 10R in just 2.5 hours — Roborock’s fastest time yet. It’s a small-profile unit that manages to hold clean and dirty water tanks, a detergent dispenser, and 2.5L dust bag while remaining an unobtrusive resident on your floor.
Truly autonomous floor cleaning with industry-best navigation and other smart features are the calling card of Roborock’s flagship Saros 10R, and the Black Friday deal that reduces its price by 38% to just $999 through Dec. 1 should be your calling card to bring one home and rest easy while the Saros 10R takes all of the floor cleaning out of your hands.
