androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-12 04:00:21

It cleans hard floors and carpets very well, and gets into the corners and underneath furniture with ease. Higher-end models boast greater capacities, but this bot can get the job done in the average home without breaking the bank. I’ve tested the very best robot vacs that Roborock has to offer — from the do-it-all Saros 10R to the all-that-plus-a-robot-arm Saros Z70 —
