Introduction
Roborock maintains its position as a global benchmark in robot vacuum cleaners, and this comparison pits two of its most ambitious offerings: the Qrevo Master from 2024 against the recently launched Saros 10R from 2025. We're talking about two high-end devices with complete multifunction bases, designed for users seeking total automation in home cleaning without compromising on advanced features.
The Qrevo Master arrived as a solid proposition with dual DuoDivide brush and extendable rotating mops. The Saros 10R represents the brand's natural evolution, integrating significant improvements in several key areas that we'll examine below. Both models are designed for medium-to-large homes where autonomy and professional mopping are valued.
Power and Suction
The most striking difference in this section is marked by suction power. The Roborock Qrevo Master reaches 10,000 Pa, a figure that's already high and guarantees good results on carpets and hard floors. The Saros 10R practically doubles this figure with 18,500 Pa, placing it amongst the most powerful robots on the current market.
In practice, this difference is especially noticeable on medium-to-long pile carpets and in the ability to pick up embedded particles. For homes with pets that shed a lot of hair, the additional power of the Saros 10R makes a real difference.
Both devices feature Roborock's DuoDivide Antienredos system, which pushes hairs towards the central gap for direct suction, drastically reducing tangles. This main brush is liftable in both cases, allowing it to be raised when mopping to avoid contaminating the mops.
Where the Saros 10R gains an advantage is in the side brush. Whilst both have an extendable side brush to improve corner cleaning, only the 2025 model incorporates side brush lifting and anti-tangle design. This means that during mopping it can fully retract, preventing it from getting wet or interfering with the mops, a detail that improves mopping efficiency at the edges.
Mopping
Both robots feature extendable rotating mops that extend towards the edges to mop as close as possible to skirting boards and corners. Mop lifting allows the Qrevo Master to raise 10 mm, sufficient for medium-thickness carpets. The Saros 10R improves this aspect with variable lifting from 12 to 22 mm, adapting better to different carpet heights.
An important difference appears in water temperature. The Qrevo Master mops with cold water, whilst the Saros 10R uses warm water during floor mopping. This aids the dissolution of greasy dirt and improves cleaning efficacy in kitchens or areas with more stubborn stains.
The Roborock Saros 10R incorporates automatic mop removal at the base, a function that the Qrevo Master doesn't have. This allows you to schedule vacuum-only sessions without needing to remove the mops manually, which is convenient if you only need to vacuum in certain areas or on certain days.
Both models feature dirt detection on both the mops and the floor, adjusting mopping as necessary. The bases wash the mops with hot water and dry them with hot air, guaranteeing hygiene and preventing bad odours. Self-cleaning of the washing tray is present in both, although the Saros 10R debuts version 2.0 of this system, presumably more efficient.
Navigation System
The Qrevo Master features a 3D LiDAR turret combined with dual AI camera and front 3D laser sensor. The Saros 10R evolves with the StarSight 2.0 system, which integrates similar technologies but with improved algorithms. The most tangible difference: recognition of 62 obstacles in the Master versus 108 in the Saros 10R.
This expansion of the catalogue of recognisable objects translates into more precise navigation and fewer manual interventions. Both recognise pets and allow remote access to the camera for home monitoring. Both incorporate LEDs for night vision, useful in dark corridors or scheduled night-time cleaning.
The SmartPlan system reaches version 2.0 in the Saros 10R, adding AI stain recognition that the Qrevo Master doesn't possess. This allows the robot to detect specific stains on the floor and automatically adjust mopping to focus on those areas without needing to mark them manually in the app.
Autonomy and Battery
The Roborock Qrevo Master's battery offers 5,200 mAh, whilst the Saros 10R increases to 6,400 mAh. However, both declare similar autonomy of 180 minutes. This is probably due to the higher energy consumption of the Saros 10R derived from its superior suction power.
In homes of up to 200-250 m², neither should have problems completing cleaning in a single session. The greater battery capacity of the Saros 10R provides additional margin in very large homes or in intensive mopping sessions with multiple passes.
Smart Functions
Both robots can overcome obstacles, although with important differences. The Qrevo Master navigates thresholds of up to 20 mm. The Saros 10R goes further with the ability to overcome double thresholds, expanding its versatility in homes with uneven floors or complicated transitions between rooms.
Both integrate their own voice assistant in addition to compatibility with Alexa and Google Home, allowing voice command control both through the Roborock ecosystem and via external assistants.
Multifunction Cleaning Base
The bases of both robots are complete multifunction units: they auto-empty the dust container, wash the mops with hot water and dry them with hot air. The dust bag capacity is practically identical: 2.7 litres in the Qrevo Master and 2.5 litres in the Saros 10R, sufficient for several weeks without changes.
The clean water tanks are 4 litres in both cases. The dirty water tank is slightly larger in the Qrevo Master with 3.5 litres versus 3 litres. This difference is minimal in daily practice.
The important novelty of the Saros 10R is the incorporation of an integrated detergent tank, absent in the Qrevo Master. This allows the base to automatically dispense cleaning product during mop washing, improving hygiene and efficacy without manual intervention.
Neither offers direct connection to water pipes nor an optional kit for this, maintaining the traditional tank system that needs to be filled and emptied periodically.
Dimensions
The diameter is identical in both: 353 mm. The crucial difference is in height. The Qrevo Master measures 103 mm, whilst the Saros 10R drastically reduces to 79.8 mm. This reduction of more than 2 centimetres is significant for access under low furniture, sofas or beds with little clearance from the floor.
In homes with low-profile furniture, the Saros 10R will access areas where the Qrevo Master cannot enter, preventing dust accumulation in those forgotten areas.
The bases have similar dimensions although with slight variations. The Qrevo Master's measures 340 mm wide, 521 mm high and 487 mm deep. The Saros 10R's is slightly wider (381 mm) and somewhat less high (488 mm) and deep (475 mm). It's advisable to measure the available space, although in both cases you'll need to reserve approximately half a square metre.
Real-World Usage Experience
For homes with pets, both robots work well thanks to the DuoDivide anti-tangle system, but the Saros 10R adds advantages with its greater suction power and anti-tangle side brush. Hair is managed better and requires less manual maintenance.
In homes with carpets of different thicknesses, the variable mop lifting of the Saros 10R (12-22 mm) versus the fixed 10 mm of the Qrevo Master offers greater adaptability. If you have thick carpets, this prevents the mops from wetting them during mopping.
The warm water mopping of the Saros 10R makes a difference in kitchens or areas with greasy dirt. The automatic detergent tank reinforces this advantage, allowing deeper mopping without additional effort.
For homes with low furniture, the height difference is decisive. The almost 8 centimetres difference between both robots makes the Saros 10R the only viable option if you have sofas, beds or wardrobes with little clearance from the floor.
The automatic mop removal function of the Saros 10R provides convenience if you alternate vacuum-only days with complete mopping days, something common in large homes where it's not always necessary to mop everything.
