Roborock Saros 20

Introduction

The Roborock Saros 20 represents the world's leading brand's commitment to taking artificial intelligence and cleaning power to a new level. We are looking at a premium range robot vacuum and mop that stands out for its 36000 Pa suction capacity and an advanced StarSight 2.0 navigation system capable of recognising up to 300 different types of obstacles. A device designed for those seeking to fully automate the maintenance of their floors without compromising on professional results.

Power and Cleaning System

With 36000 Pa of power, this model ranks amongst the most powerful on the current market. This figure is not just a number: in practice it means it can extract ingrained dirt from medium-pile carpets and absorb heavy debris that other devices would leave behind. The brushing system incorporates the DuoDivide Anti-Tangle Hair design, a specific Roborock solution that channels hair towards the central suction area preventing it from wrapping around the roller. It proves especially useful for homes with pets or people with long hair.

The main brush is liftable, which allows the robot to adapt to the type of surface and increase suction when it detects carpets. The side brush also lifts to avoid dragging dirt onto carpets during mopping, and additionally features an extendable function to better reach corners. Both brushes include anti-tangle technology, significantly reducing manual maintenance tasks.

Mopping System

The Roborock Saros 20 integrates two rotating mops that spin at 200 RPM exerting 13N of pressure on the floor. This combination of speed and pressure allows it to remove dried stains and adhered dirt that simple dragging of a damp mop would not achieve. The mops feature the FlexiArm system, which allows their lateral extension to mop edges and skirting boards with greater precision, reaching where most circular robots cannot.

The mop lift reaches between 12 and 22 mm, sufficient to pass over medium-thickness carpets without dampening them. During the cleaning process, the robot detects the level of dirt both on the floor and on the mops themselves, adjusting the intensity and returning to the base when necessary to wash them. This washing is carried out with hot water at 100°C, guaranteeing deep sanitisation, and subsequently dries them with hot air at 55°C to prevent bad odours and bacterial proliferation. Upon completing the full session, the mops remain clean and dry in the base until the next use.

Navigation and Intelligence

The StarSight 2.0 system combines dual RGB camera with frontal 3D laser sensor, creating precise three-dimensional mapping of the home. This configuration allows the device to identify up to 300 different types of obstacles: from cables and slippers to small toys or pet excrement. Specific curtain detection prevents the robot from getting tangled, whilst pet recognition allows it to adjust routes and behaviours according to their presence.

The SmartPlan 3.0 artificial intelligence analyses spaces and automatically decides the best cleaning strategy for each zone, recognising stains and adapting the power or number of passes. Remote access to the camera with night vision LED adds an extra video surveillance functionality. Additionally, it incorporates its own voice assistant for direct control without needing to open the application.

Autonomy and Practical Use

The 6400 mAh battery provides sufficient energy for extended sessions, suitable for medium to large-sized homes. The robot's internal dust container has a capacity of 270 ml, whilst the water tank reaches 69 ml and is filled with warm water to optimise mopping. A notable feature is its AdaptiLift 3.0 system, which allows it to overcome obstacles between 45 and 88 mm in height, facilitating passage between rooms with different floor types or small level differences such as thick carpets or sliding door rails.

Base and Maintenance

The Roborock Saros 20 multifunction station centralises all maintenance tasks. It includes a 2.5 litre dust bag that can last weeks without emptying, a 4 litre clean water tank and another 3 litre dirty water tank. The detergent tank allows cleaning product to be added which is automatically dispensed during mop washing. The washing tray also self-cleans with hot water at 100°C, preventing accumulation of residue and bad odours in the base itself. With dimensions of 381 mm width, 488 mm height and 475 mm depth, it requires considerable space but justified by its complete functionality.

Conclusion

The Roborock Saros 20 is designed for demanding users seeking to completely delegate floor maintenance to an intelligent and autonomous system. Its combination of extreme power, professional mopping with hot water and advanced recognition capability makes it an ideal solution for spacious homes, households with pets and people who value deep hygiene without constant manual intervention.
