Roborock Saros 20 vs Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete
Same height, threshold and suction: the difference is Dreame's three-year warranty and pet-waste recognition against Roborock's obstacle system.

Verdict
The Roborock Saros 20 has the higher Verdict Score, 86 to 85.
On the specification sheet these two are closer than any other pair in our catalogue. Both are 80 mm tall, both are rated for a 45 mm threshold, both publish carpet boost, and 36,000 Pa against 35,000 Pa is a difference no floor will show. Both carry dual spinning mops that extend and are left at the dock for carpet, and both docks empty, wash, dry and refill.
The Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete publishes a three-year warranty against Roborock's one, a 100-day dust bag, and pet-waste recognition in its obstacle system, which uses two cameras. The Roborock Saros 20 recognises obstacles with a camera fused with 3D depth sensing and scores higher on our obstacle-avoidance subscore, 95 to 90; it navigates by time-of-flight cameras where the Dreame uses a retractable LiDAR that still fits inside the same 80 mm.
Our engine has them one point apart, 86 to 85, which is a tie in everything but the arithmetic. If you have a dog, the Dreame's published pet-waste recognition and its longer warranty are the two concrete reasons to prefer it. Otherwise buy whichever is cheaper on the day; the price row below is the deciding line.
