Roborock Saros Z70 Review: This Robovac's Robotic Arm Is a Swing and a Miss

Roborock Saros Z70 is the most expensive robovac on the market by about $1,000 .

With a robotic arm that emerges from the top of the vacuum, it’s supposed to sort your loose slippers over into a dedicated zone.

Unfortunately, the Z70 's performance was absolutely abysmal when it came to doing its special tricks.

The problem is in the sorting.

The Saros Z70 has a brush that is just one single roller with a smaller diameter.

In my Snack Gauntlet test, it was more prone to crushing Goldfish Crackers and Cheerios .

The Z70 also appears to have more difficulty with navigation than previous Roborocks we’ve tested.

The Saros Z70 was a huge swing, and I love it when companies do that, especially when it could represent a lot of added convenience for the consumer.

Unfortunately, Roborock’s first attempt is a swing and a miss.

There's potential there if the bot really can improve via software updates.
