After being first announced at CES 2026, roborock was partially released Saros 20a new flagship robot vacuum and mop that introduces a redesigned mobility system, higher suction performance, and expanded smart home compatibility. Positioned as a premium model within the company’s product range, the Saros 20 focuses on automated maintenance and navigation improvements rather than purely incremental hardware updates.
At the center of Saros 20 is Roborock. HyperForce Cleaning Systemhas been rated by 36,000Pa Suction power. This makes this model one of the highest-specified robot vacuums currently available. This vacuum uses a dual anti-tangle brush arrangement designed to reduce hair entrapment, and arc-shaped side brushes that extend outward for better cleaning along baseboards and corners.
This unit combines vacuuming and mopping within a single cleaning pass. During operation, the robot automatically adjusts the suction power according to the floor surface, and the mop assembly lifts from the carpet to prevent moisture from transferring to soft floors. This allows mixed bed environments to be cleaned without manual intervention or separate cleaning runs.
Navigation is handled by Roborock. StarSight Autonomous System 2.0, AI-assisted mapping system It uses visual sensors to recognize obstacles and maintain navigation accuracy in both bright and dark environments. The system builds detailed room maps and enables selective room cleaning, zone management, and obstacle avoidance directly from the Roborock app.
The features of Saros 20 are:daptiLift Chassis 3.0dynamically change the height of the robot and the position of the wheels. Rather than treating thresholds as barriers, this chassis allows the robot to lift itself up and clear the thresholds of higher steps and double doors.
Thin body with dimensions directly below Height 80mmit also improves access under furniture, which is difficult for many robot vacuums to reach.
Saros 20 comes with an automatic multifunction dock designed to minimize routine maintenance. After cleaning, the robot returns to its station where the dust is automatically ejected into a sealed bag and the mop pad is cleaned with hot water before being dried with hot air. The dock also refills water and dispenses detergent, reducing the need for regular manual cleaning of the robot itself. Roborock specifies a hot water mop cleaning temperature of up to 2000 degrees Celsius. 100℃which aims to remove residue from the pad during a cleaning session and prepare the robot for the next run without user input.
Like many of the newer Roborock models, the Saros 20 has the following additional features: Compatibility of matters. This allows Vacuum to integrate with supported smart home ecosystems through the Matter standard rather than brand-specific cloud integrations.
For Apple users, this means you can expose Saros 20 to Apple Home using: Problems over Wi-Fiwhich allows basic control along with other Matter-enabled devices. As with most Matter robot vacuum implementations, functionality is expected to focus on core actions such as start, stop, dock, and cleaning status, rather than full mapping controls that remain within the Roborock app. The robot will continue to operate through the Roborock mobile application, which provides advanced features such as mapping, scheduling, restricted zones, and cleaning customization.
Saros 20 is approx. 6400mAhdelivers up to approx. Run time is 200 minutes It depends on the cleaning mode and floor condition. When the battery is low, the robot will automatically return to the dock, recharge, and resume cleaning from its previous location. Edge cleaning is Flexi arm mechanismextend the side brush toward the edge of walls and furniture to reduce gaps commonly left by circular robot designs.
Saros 20 represents not only a step increase in specifications, but also a shift in focus towards autonomy. While the headline suction numbers are noteworthy, the more important development is the combination of advanced mobility, automated dock maintenance, and Matter compatibility. In particular, support for Matter marks Roborock’s continued move towards broader smart home interoperability, bringing the vacuum closer together with ecosystems such as Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa, without relying solely on proprietary integrations.
