Roborock sells four lines that overlap in price but not in design. Saros is the flagship family, 80 mm tall on every model but the roller-mop Saros 20 Flow (89.8 mm), by a retractable LiDAR turret or, on the Saros 20 and Saros Z70, a time-of-flight camera array in place of the turret. Qrevo is the broad middle, where the dock does the work and the models differ in turret, mop and suction. QV is the budget line that still gets a dock that empties, washes, dries and refills, and Q is the entry level with a vibrating or static mop pad and, at most, a self-emptying base.
The Saros 20 is Roborock's flagship: 36,000 Pa, dual spinning mops that extend to the skirting and are left at the dock before carpet, and a 45 mm threshold rating. The Saros 20 Sonic is the same chassis with a vibrating pad and a retractable LiDAR, and the Saros 20 Neo keeps the suction and the threshold but its dock does not dry the mop. The Saros 20 Flow keeps the 36,000 Pa too but mops with a roller under a retracting turret, stands 89.8 mm tall, and Roborock publishes no mop lift for it. The Saros Z70 is the one with the mechanical arm, at 22,000 Pa, and the Saros 10 is the earlier vibrating-pad model with the retracting turret.
The Qrevo Curv 2 Pro is the Qrevo closest to the Saros on our engine, with a retracting turret, 25,000 Pa, carpet boost and mops that are left at the dock. The Qrevo Edge 3 Pro and Qrevo CurvX are also 80 mm machines with the retracting turret; the Qrevo Edge 2 Flow and Qrevo Curv 2 Flow swap the pads for a roller mop under a fixed turret. Below them the Qrevo Edge 2, Qrevo Edge, Qrevo 2 Pro, Qrevo Curv S5X, Qrevo S5V and Qrevo S keep the dock and the dual spinning mops at lower suction figures. The Qrevo S Pro keeps the Qrevo S's height and battery but raises suction from 7,000 to 18,500 Pa, and Roborock gives its dock a 75 °C mop wash.
The QV 35A and QV 35S are the cheapest Roborocks with a dock that empties, washes, dries and refills, at 8,000 and 10,000 Pa with structured-light obstacle detection. The Q line is simpler, and most of its models come with or without a self-emptying base: the Q10 S5+ and Q10 S5 have a vibrating pad, the Q10 X5+, Q10 X5, Q7 M5+, Q7 M5, Q7 L5+ and Q7 L5 a static pad, and the models with a plus in the name come with the base while the others charge on a plain dock. The S8 MaxV Ultra is the previous flagship generation, still sold with the full dock at 10,000 Pa.
