Roborock press imageQrevo Curv S5X
The sensible Roborock: 18,500 Pa, LiDAR mapping, spinning mops that lift for carpet and a dock that washes, dries and empties — for well under half the flagship price.

Our verdict
Most of what makes the Saros line expensive is what it does without a turret. The Curv S5X keeps the turret — it maps with a conventional spinning LiDAR and stands 98 mm tall, so it will not fit under the lowest sofas — and in exchange costs a third of a Saros 20 while doing the jobs that actually decide whether a robot vacuum is worth owning: it empties itself for weeks at a time, washes its mops in hot water, dries them, and lifts them clear of carpet. Obstacle sensing is structured light rather than a camera, which finds a chair leg reliably and a cable less so. If your floors are mostly clear and your furniture is not unusually low, this is the Roborock to buy.
Pros
- Dock empties for up to seven weeks, washes the mops at 75 °C and dries them
- Twin spinning mops that lift clear of carpet
- LiDAR mapping with structured-light obstacle sensing
- Anti-tangle brush and an extending arc side brush
- A third of the flagship's price, in Poland 2,089 zł
Cons
- 98 mm tall — a LiDAR turret, so it will not clear the lowest furniture
- Structured light does not recognise cables or pet waste the way a camera does
- Mop lift height, bin and tank capacity are not published
- No water refilling and no voice control
Best for
- Mostly hard floors with a few rugs
- Buyers who want the self-maintaining dock without the flagship price
- Homes where the floor is usually clear
Not recommended for
- Very low sofas and beds
- Floors with cables and pet mess — pay for camera recognition

Top picks
- Roborock84
Saros 20
Roborock's flagship: 36,000 Pa, twin spinning mops the dock washes at 100 °C, and a solid-state 3D sensor instead of a LiDAR turret.
- Roborock82
Saros Z70
The robot vacuum with an arm: 22,000 Pa, solid-state 3D sensing and a five-axis gripper that moves socks and slippers out of its own way.
- Roborock73
QV 35A
The cheapest way into a self-maintaining dock: 8,000 Pa, LiDAR mapping, twin spinning mops that lift, and a station that empties, washes, dries and refills.
