Roborock announced a few new robot vacuums at CES 2026, including one that has leggy stilts that mean it can just lift itself up and walk over any kind of uneven terrain. But the one that I suspect is going to win out on the general market is the Saros 20 – the successor to the outstanding Roborock Saros 10R. The 10R was one of the best robot vacuums we tested in 2025, but the 20 looks even better.
At the risk of confusing everyone, both versions also have sister models: the Saros 10, and the new Saros 20 Sonic (the slight shift in naming is the result of some copyright complications, I am told). The key distinguishing feature is the mop pad type – the 10R and 20 both have dual, spinning mop pads, whereas the 10 and 20 Sonic have a D-shaped pad. A Roborock rep shared with me that it has found the dual spinning mop pad style the most popular by some margin, so it tracks that the Saros 20 will be the one to watch of the new additions.
