Our verdict
The Saros 20 Flow is the Saros 20 chassis with a roller in place of two spinning pads and the RetractSense turret in place of the solid-state array. SpiraFlow 2.0 is the point of it: the dock refills the robot's tank with warm water after every wash, rinses the roller with hot water and keeps the dirty water apart, and an RGB camera reads the type of mess and adds passes where the floor is worse. The motor is the familiar 36,000 Pa behind a Dual Zero-Tangle brush pair, the AdaptiLift arm lifts the body over double thresholds of 8.8 cm, and the LiDAR drops into the body for 89.8 mm of clearance; structured light, RGB vision and an LED handle obstacles day and night. Roborock prints 352 × 353 mm, 5.2 kg, a 65 W rating and a two-year German warranty, one year in America, and nothing else: no battery, runtime, wash or drying temperature, bin, tank, noise figure, single-step threshold, mop lift or voice control. Germany sells it as the Complete with seven dust bags; America sells the plain box.

In detail
Suction and brushes
The manufacturer rates the suction at 36,000 Pa. That is more than 87% of the 90 robot vacuums we list. The main brush is the tangle-resistant type, with one side brush.
Mopping
Mop system: washed roller. The mop does not lift for carpet.
Navigation and obstacles
It navigates by retracting LiDAR and avoids obstacles with camera + depth sensor. No-go zones can be drawn in the app.
The dock
The dock empties the bin, washes the mop and refills the water tank.
Battery, charging and noise
The manufacturer publishes neither a runtime nor a noise figure.
