We’ve had this for 6 months now and use each day. We have a large house and found we need three so we bought a second of this exact model and a third Roborock without the arm feature. Two of these works great and have little issue. Couple of things to note: If you have long haired dogs you absolutely need to clean the sensors, roller balls and moveable parts often. That would be the same for any vacuum though. It’s not a hands off appliance. I attend to them almost daily. The rollerballs at the front can be difficult to get on and off and Roborock do not appear to provide a replacement part for that even on their website. They gather the aforementioned hair easily. I’ve emailed requesting to purchase stairs as they become loose with frequent cleaning. Roborock CD has NOT responded. Disappointing. We did have an issue with the arm coming out and not going back in. The result of that required sending the unit back in for repair which took approximately two weeks. They were responsive to that issue. I’m glad we had a second unit we could swap from a less trafficked area of our home. The noise level is much better than most of the competitors and we have tried a few. It’s less noisy them most traditional vacuums by far. It’s great at getting dust and hair under most furniture but I still have to get my vacuum out occasionally to finish the job in tighter areas around chair legs, etc. This would happen with any robot vacuum. The wet mopping feature is where this robot does the best job. Our dogs come in and out and eat in a tiled area. I used to clean that area everyday with a steam mop. Now I run this unit each night and it’s made a huge difference in the cleanliness of our floor. The dirty water tells me everything I need to know about what it’s picking up and how well it works. Big time saver. The sensors work great at avoiding even small items like dog toys. I noticed it doesn’t bang surfaces the way our other brand robot vacuum did. So far, 6 months in, I’m hoping for our investment this will last as I enjoy waking up to clean floors. The area that it cleans at night is far from our bedroom so we don’t hear it. These units are definitely on the pricier side and since we need three I expect them to last years. I hope their customer service improves and they provide more parts. Luckily I found a roller ball here on Amazon from another vendor that fit. Overall, I have recommended this to several friends and would likely purchase again but hope to not need to for a long time.

I have owned an iRobot S9 and its side-kick the iRobot Brava Jet M6 for over 5 years. This Roborock Saros Z70 replaces them both and does MUCH BETTER work. I've only had it a few days so I don't know about reliability, but so far it has been working awesome. This is a BIG upgrade from the S9 and M6! The app is much easier to use than the iRobot app. The Z70 auto-scanned the rooms and had them mapped within minutes. No bumping into things to map, it just looked around. I then updated the map by dividing it into rooms and naming them so I can clean one at a time. Easy. After the first cleanings I tweaked the map to get the room dividers just right. It was so cool watching the Z70 find its way around without bumping into things or getting confused! Super cool that now I can send it in to clean an un-tidy room because it will see and work around random things on the floor instead of just trying to eat them and jam. I put a slipper in the way just to watch the little arm come out, pick it up, and put it away. Per Roborock it currently will only pick up a slipper, a sock, or a ball of paper but they say soon it will pick up more kinds of things. Cool to watch its little mop swing out to wipe exactly up to the edges and swing up out of the way when on carpet or a rug. Way cool that it washes its own little mops when done, and dries them too! The dirty water tank on the base showed that the mops were really cleaning, not just smearing on shine for show. Cool that I don't have to fill the mop fluid, it just fills itself at the base before going out and adds the shine fluid too. I got the official Roborock floor cleaning solution in the 16 oz bottle. The base tank for the fluid held the entire 16 oz so it was dump in, toss the bottle, done. This machine is very quiet. It turns up the vacuum power some when on rugs but still not nearly as noisy as the S9 was. It would be awesome if an American company created this, but the Chinese have sure done a great job on it. I asked Grok about security and he said all the right things regarding that. He said the info about my home is kept on-board the machine, not sent to the cloud unless I choose to place it in the cloud. He said the right things about encryption and such stuff. Sorry to hear iRobot announced bankruptcy. Hearing that is what prompted me to get this. Having the Z70 makes me understand why - iRobot was probably not going to be able to compete against this.

Overall I’m enjoying the Saros Z70 so far, I purchased it to upgrade from my S7 MaxV Ultra. The S7 was my first robot vacuum and at the time a revered unit as it had unmatched suction, mopping, and overall efficiency compared to its competitors. Unfortunately the cliff sensors on it became saturated with moisture and after doing multiple repairs on this unit in the past I just let it sit as the cliff sensor repair was pretty in depth and expensive. Since that time it seems like other brands have caught up to Roborock’s innovation, however they’re the only brand I’m aware of that makes a vacuum with an extendable arm, so since I was able to get the Z70 for 50% off I had to try it out. Comparing the Z70 to the S7 MaxV Ultra both certainly have their individual advantages, but overall are pretty similar units. Regarding the actual robot (not the dock), I liked how the z70 has the LiDAR sensor built into the machine, not protruding to be able to fit under lower furniture, this feature paired with the extendable side brushes and extendable mop heads are a huge upgrade and makes its cleaning ability that much more thorough. Another difference in design between these models which has to be considered with the extendable arm is how small the dust bin is on the z70, its tiny. At first I had no idea how it would hold any dirt but after letting the dustbin get full a few times I found that the self-emptying function on the dock is able to get the dust bin fully clean. Whereas on the S7 MaxV Ultra my biggest gripe was having to constantly manually clean the dustbin, the dock on that model could never get the dustbin clean in any way. So despite the z70’s small dustbin size it does actually work in relation to the S7’s. Comparing their cleaning efficiency seems to be similar, despite the z70 claiming to have 4x the suction power of the S7. The mop heads on the z70 are round and spin compared to the s7’s vibrating mop pad, I do prefer the spinning mop heads as they seem like they’re cleaning more efficiently than the vibrating pad, especially with the heated water, but time will tell on this feature. I am also finding the battery life on the z70 is much better than the S7, it seems to be able to do more on a charge and recharge much faster. Not to mention the z70’s dock comes with a much safer plug, the S7’s dock came with a plug that needed an adapter for US outlets, and it was very sketchy as it would ark and spark when being plugged in or nudged. That adapter always seemed like a huge fire risk to me so I’m glad they now have a power plug with a built in 3 prong cord. One thing I did find interesting with the z70 is how if it gets stuck, it acts a lot more aggressively than the S7 when trying to get itself out. When the S7 would get caught on something it would simply reverse a few times, essentially try to wiggle its way out of the spot, and quickly give up. The z70 will recognize that it’s stuck, and out of nowhere floor it in reverse with decent speed. While this may be efficient in getting the robot unstuck, i can see this being a pretty decent safety risk if it bumps into a table with a candle or something similar when going in reverse so quickly. Regarding the extendable arm, it’s cool but that’s about it. It still seems like it’s in its beta stage in terms of the amount of items it’s able to recognize and pick up, I tried it out last night by placing a ball of paper on the ground. It took it a long time to figure out what it was, over a minute, and after that minute the arm came out, picked up the piece of paper after dancing around it a few times, and then once the z70 picked up the paper it didn’t know what to do with it. Perhaps I have to program the storage areas more but that’s as far as I got with the extendable arm, don’t expect it to be your personal maid as much as a party trick, over time I’m hoping it will be able to pick up and store dog bones/toys. It’s a solid vacuum that I do enjoy, but I don’t think it’s worth $2500 or even $2000 due to the fact that it’s so similar to the S7 MaxV ultra in terms of its cleaning efficiency. At $1200 or less it is a fantastic vacuum, the dock on the Z70 is a huge upgrade in terms of looks and function and the z70 does have its perks in comparison.

Cleans well, Robot Arm is a complete disaster. The arm keeps getting stuck trying to lift its self out of the case. And when it does work it just stops saying the arm needs to be reset. Mop and Vacs well tho.

Roborock Saros Z70 is very nice robotic vacuum. this is my second Roborock Vacuum. Robotic arm works well and is an attraction for kids and gusts to see how it recognize objects and then pick nd put them in the designated place/box. It worked very well for about 5 months. Then suddenly one day it start behaving weirdly, sometimes it can’t find the room or dock. then one day it start falling from stairs although it has worked very well previously on that floor recognizing the stairs. As it was still under warranty so I contacted the Roborock customer support. they asked me to send the picture. I send them the picture and video Then they asked me to send the Roborock vacuum which I did and they have sent me the new replacement vacuum which is working fine so far for a month. But during this process I was out of vacuum cleaner for about 3-4 weeks. I am happy they sent the replacement.
