I’ve found in my robot-vacuum testing that just about every one of them has tradeoffs. One may have a killer mop, but it doesn’t reach the edges of your floor. One may have excellent object recognition, but not actually have the power to do much about it. Another may have a gimmicky robotic arm but sacrifice performance everywhere else. So while there’s still a ton of room for improvement in this whole category, I was relieved to finally find a robo-vac that does everything really well. Perfectly? Not even close. But the $1,600 Roborock Saros 20 is easily the best all-arounder I’ve ever tested.
Roborock Saros 20
While it still has some odd quirks, it’s currently the best robovac money can buy, with impressive cleaning ability and autonomy.
Pros
Best-in-class suction power and excellent mopping pressure
