Roborock Featuring an Arm: CES 2025 Unveils Preliminary Launch Period and Pricing


### Roborock Presents the Saros Z70: A Robot Vacuum Featuring a Robotic Arm at CES 2025

A robot vacuum equipped with a built-in robotic arm likely wasn’t on anyone’s CES 2025 wish list, yet Roborock has brought it to life with the **Roborock Saros Z70**. Although the official price is still under wraps, industry speculation hints at a retail cost of approximately **$2,000**. While that’s a significant amount, it’s not entirely unexpected, considering that Roborock’s premium models without robotic features already fetch over $1,500 — and can sometimes be found for less during promotional events.

### When Will the Roborock Z70 Be Available for Purchase?

If you’re thinking about investing in a high-end robot vacuum, you have some time to weigh whether the robotic arm is truly innovative or merely a gimmick. **Roborock has indicated that the Saros Z70 will start shipping in April 2025**, and as of early January, preorders are not yet open. This article will be updated as soon as preorder information or dates are disclosed.

### What Distinguishes the Roborock Z70?

The Saros Z70 elevates robot vacuum technology by advancing from simple obstacle avoidance to **obstacle extraction**. Its prominent feature is the **OmniGrip robotic arm**, which extends from the vacuum’s top to seize items in a claw machine-like fashion and deposit them in a predefined location. During a live demonstration at CES 2025, the Z70 was observed picking up socks and placing them into a basket.

The arm is engineered to grasp four types of objects weighing up to 300 grams: socks, paper, small towels, and light shoes. Roborock is also aiming to equip the arm to pick up pet toys, which could be transformative for pet guardians.

For those who may not find innovative features compelling, the Z70 also delivers **22,000 Pa of suction power**, positioning it among the most potent robot vacuums currently available. To give some context, that’s 12,000 Pa more robust than the Roborock Qrevo Master, a top-rated vacuum from 2024, and 3,500 Pa stronger than the well-liked Roborock Qrevo Curv.

### Another Fresh Model from Roborock: The Saros 10R

Roborock has even more in store beyond the Z70. The firm has also introduced the **Roborock Saros 10R**, another premium model in the Saros series. Unlike the Z70, the 10R does not incorporate the robotic arm, which will likely make it more affordable for everyday consumers. Early estimates suggest its price will range between **$1,399.99 and $1,699.99**.

The Saros 10R features several enhancements over Roborock’s flagship models from 2024. It incorporates **dual-light 3D Time-of-Flight technology** and **AI-enhanced RGB cameras** for superior 3D mapping and obstacle identification. This advanced navigation system enables the vacuum to detect and evade tiny items like toys and loose cables with improved precision. Nevertheless, without the Z70’s robotic arm, the 10R will be unable to eliminate obstacles from its cleaning path.

### Cleaning Capabilities of the Saros 10R

While Roborock has yet to disclose the suction power of the Saros 10R, they guarantee advancements in several crucial attributes:
– Enhanced performance on thresholds and across varying floor surfaces.
– Superior hair removal from carpets, with less tangling in brushes.
– Better carpet drying capabilities.

The 10R still includes the **FlexiArm brush** for corner sweeping, but it remains unclear if it features the spinning side mop found in the Qrevo Master, a beloved characteristic among users.

Pricing and release specifics for the Saros 10R are still pending, but updates will be shared as more details emerge. Comprehensive reviews of both the Z70 and 10R are also in development.

### Should You Wait or Make a Purchase Now?

If you’re keen to enhance your cleaning routine, Roborock’s **Qrevo line** continues to be a strong contender and may likely be on sale as you read this. However, if the innovative features of the Saros Z70 or 10R pique your interest, it may be beneficial to hold out for their launch later this year.
