Bogo for free: As of March 19, the famous Roborock Saros Z70 robot vacuum cleaner with robotic arms was booked for $1,899. Roborock’s special promotion turns your reservation into a free bundle that includes a second Roborock vacuum for up to $800.
About no one has a robot vacuum with arms on their CES 2025 bingo card. Anyway, Roborock made one, and the Roborock Saros Z70 is officially available for pre-order (shipping starts in May). this The Saros Z70 costs $1,899 – Slightly below our initial expectations of $2,000. And, if you buy the Saros Z70 in this initial release window, $1,899 actually covers a bundle that includes your second Roborock vacuum cleaner of your choice.
Qualified bonus models range from robotic vacuum to upright vacuum, including the popular Roborock Dyad Pro combo 5-in-1 wet and dry vacuum cleaners ($659.99 value) or the Roborock Qrevo S5V ($799.99 value). The end date for the Bogo promotion is not given, but the number of free vacuums is limited.
While there is no doubt that a robot arm for grabbing obstacles is cool, what I am questioning is practicality. If you spend a lot of money on a vacuum on a fence, it can be cost-effective when you get two decent vacuums for the same price.
What’s special about the Roborock Z70?
The Roborock Z70 goes beyond the small obstacle technology that has become a navigation staple in recent years and falls into obstacles. It can be operated using a robot full arm that unfolds from the top of the robot vacuum to grab the obstacle claw style and place it in a designated area nearby. (The live demonstration at CES 2025 shows the Z70 that puts socks into the basket.) The pickup function of the arm covers four different types of obstacles and must weigh under 300 grams: socks, paper, small towels and lightweight shoes. I personally benefited the most from grabbing pet toys on my arms.
People who are more swayed by practicality than hit or miss high-tech features may find that the sought-after here is the Z70’s incredible 22,000 PA suction power. The 12,000 PA stronger than the Roborock Qrevo Master is my favorite 2024 overall robot vacuum cleaner that cleans 10,000 PA, while the 3,500 PA has been sold a few times than the Roborock QRevo Curv.
The Saros Z70 isn’t the only new Roborock in 2025
The Saros range also includes two other new flagship models, which don’t have robotic arms: the $1,599.99 Saros 10 and Saros 10r. Both are the same super slim 3.14-inch height as the Saros S70, but both have the various features of the Z70.
The Saros 10 is cleaned with the same 22,000 PA as the Saros Z70, while the Saros 10R is negligible to 20,000 PA. The Saros 10 uses the same reactive AI technology to avoid most of the hurdles in the 2024 QREVO model, while most of the hurdles in the Saros Z70 and 10R can be upgraded to Roborock’s Starsight 2.0 Technology. Starsight is said to be a combination of dual-light 3D time of flight technology and AI-powered RGB cameras that lead to more precise mapping and obstacle avoidance, but I haven’t found that the obstacles of the Saros 10R are particularly good at avoiding obstacles than any obstacles I’ve tested before.
Mixable transactions
Compared to the Saros 10’s single flat mop, the Saros Z70 and Saros 10R mop comes with dual rotary mops (which is my preference).
