One of our favourite robot vacuums just got a sequel

The sequel to one of our favourite robot vacuums of 2025 has just launched in Australia, dialling up the power levels even further.

At a recent picturesque launch hosted at Prim Haus in Sydney’s Darlinghurst, Roborock showed off three high-end devices set to arrive in Australia in the coming days. Among them is the Roborock Saros 20, the successor to last year’s Saros 10 model.

Functionally, the Saros 20 is rather similar to its predecessor, but the set of features is a decent step up — literally and figuratively. With up to 36,000Pa of suction power (the Saros 10 had 22,000Pa), the Saros 20 also has a new technology designed to ascend higher obstacles.

While it’s not quite the stair-climbing tech Roborock showed at CES 2026, this particular variant is said to scale thick rugs and carpets of up to 3cm. Plus, it’s designed to cross double-layer thresholds around the home, up to 8.8cm. That could be handy for homes with a slight drop or bump between carpeted and tiled rooms, for example.

Roborock confirmed that the Saros 20 will launch locally in April for $2,999, with pre-orders live now. Also set to launch next month is the $1,299 Roborock F25 Ace Pro, the brand’s latest wet-dry vacuum.

Instead of the steam technology used by the existing F25 Ultra model, the Ace Pro relies on a foaming solution to clean up messes. This foam is designed to stick to and dissolve greasy stains, which the wet-dry vacuum’s roller mop then runs over, using water to leave floors fresh.

There’s also a new Roborock appliance available today: the $2,799 Qrevo Edge 2 Pro. Launching at a discounted $2,299 price, it’s an alternative to the Saros 20 with a longer-lasting battery and bigger dustbin, making it suited to larger homes.
