Overview
- Roborock unveiled the Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic with rated suction of 35,000 Pa, an upgraded AdaptiLift chassis for higher threshold clearing (up to about 3.3 inches), and a Sonic model whose extendable mop scrubs right up to edges.
- Roborock’s Qrevo Curv 2 Flow goes on sale January 19 at $849 before rising to $999 after February 1, adding a self‑cleaning roller mop that extends to edges and 20,000 Pa suction.
- The Saros Rover prototype was confirmed as a real product in development with no launch date; its wheel‑leg design can climb and clean stairs, balance, turn sharply, and execute small jumps.
- Roborock said its robot mowers are coming to the U.S., including the RockNeo Q1, RockMow X1, and RockMow X1 LiDAR variants, with timing and pricing still to be announced.
- Category breadth grew beyond vacuums as Ecovacs announced the LilMilo AI companion, an ULTRAMARINE pool cleaner, and refreshed mowers and window cleaners, while Dreame demoed a Cyber10 Ultra robot with a small arm (lifting around 1 kg) and a Cyber X stair‑carrier concept.
