Ultra-slim and highly intelligent: Roborock brings the Saros 10R to Australia
Roborock's slimmest model yet is designed to tackle family mess with precision and ease, marking a new era of household cleaning.
SYDNEY, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Roborock, a global leader in ultra-intelligent home robotics, has officially launched its latest robotic vacuum for its flagship Saros series – the Roborock Saros 10R – in Australia. Following the model's launch earlier this year at CES 2025, after much anticipation Aussie households can now experience the intelligent cleaning power of Roborock's slimmest robot vacuum yet — which is available from Roborock's Official Online Store and Amazon Australia from today.
Designed to easily glide under furniture and into tight corners, the Saros 10R is built for the realities of busy family life — effortlessly handling tangled cords, crumbs and clutter with powerful suction and intelligent design. That same performance extends to pet-friendly homes too, with the Dual Anti-Tangle System delivering a 100% hair removal rate and zero tangling[1] — making it ideal for the more than two-thirds[2] of Aussie households that own a pet.
Smarter navigation for stress-free cleaningForget bumping into furniture or getting stuck on stray toys — the Saros 10R uses Roborock's most advanced navigation system yet, StarSight™ 2.0. Powered by AI and a combination of smart sensors and cameras, it can spot and dodge up to 108 different household objects[1], from socks to charging cables.
Plus, the Saros 10R's VertiBeam™ Obstacle Avoidance helps it navigate these obstacles more effectively, using an additional vertical laser to improve its field of vision. This means fewer bumps into skirting boards, furniture, and cables, keeping your home intact while ensuring a more thorough clean, especially around edges and tight spaces.
Ultra-slim body meets big powerAt just 7.98cm tall, the Saros 10R is Roborock's slimmest robot vacuum ever – designed to glide under low-profile furniture like beds, sofas, and sideboards. Despite its compact form, it delivers serious performance:
20,000Pa HyperForce® suction[3] – tackles embedded dust and pet hair with ease.
AdaptiLift™ Chassis – automatically raises the vacuum by up to 10mm[1] to handle rugs, thresholds (up to 4cm), and uneven flooring.
Dual Anti-Tangle System – combines a DuoDivide® main brush and FlexiArm Riser side brush to capture hair and debris while minimising maintenance.
Mopping made easy with smart lift functionThe Saros 10R doesn't just vacuum – it mops too. Its dual spinning mops scrub hard floors with precision, then lift automatically when crossing carpets or transitioning between rooms. This prevents cross-contamination and keeps clean areas from being re-soiled. Perfect for busy households, pet owners, or anyone wanting a true 2-in-1 clean with zero hassle.
The ultimate all-in-one charging and cleaning hub
To complete the hands-free experience, the Saros 10R is compatible with the new Multifunctional Dock 4.0, which introduces significant upgrades to further streamline the user experience. Key features include:
80°C hot water mop washing[1] – for more hygienic cleaning
Auto mop removal – detaches mops when switching to vacuum-only mode or carpet cleaning
Fast charge (2.5 hours)[1] – gets the vacuum back to work quickly
Smart power management – only charges what's needed and supports off-peak scheduling
Together, these features reduce user input and increase cleaning efficiency, ensuring the Saros 10R is always ready to go.
Smarter app, smarter routinesWith the Roborock app's latest update, users gain more control than ever before. Roborock SmartPlan® 2.0 leverages AI and usage history to automatically adjust cleaning settings such as suction power, water volume, and even the cleaning route. The app also introduces convenient custom modes, automated mop washing after cleaning wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms, and compatibility with Apple Watch, smart widgets, and voice assistants – including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Siri Shortcuts, and Roborock's own "Hello, Rocky!" voice control.
Pricing and AvailabilityThe Roborock Saros 10R will be available in Australia from 22 May 2025 through Roborock's Official Online Store and Amazon Australia, at a RRP of $2,899 AUD.

Hong Kong Airlines Celebrates Inaugural Flight to Sydney
Offering Travellers More Direct Flight Options to Australia HONG KONG, June 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hong Kong Airlines' inaugural flight between Hong Kong and Sydney, Australia, departed yesterday, making it the second local airline to operate this route and providing greater travel options for business, leisure, and transit passengers. To mark this new milestone in its network expansion, Hong Kong Airlines held celebratory events at both Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) and Sydney Airport (SYD). Prior to departure, a launch ceremony was held at the boarding gate of the HKIA. The event was attended by distinguished guests, including Mr Jeff Sun, President of Hong Kong Airlines; Mr Ian McGraw from the Australian Consulate-General in Hong Kong; Ms Carmen Tam and Ms Vivien Yuen from Tourism Australia; Ms Jennifer Tung from Destination New South Wales; and Mr Ricky Chong from Airport Authority Hong Kong. The guests interacted with passengers and presented them with bespoke souvenirs to commemorate the historic occasion. During the event, Hong Kong Airlines President Mr Jeff Sun stated: "As a full-service local carrier, the launch of our Sydney service marks a significant step in our transformation to an international airline. Sydney is not only a popular destination for leisure and business travel but also one of Australia's most vital economic hubs. The expansion of the bilateral traffic rights agreement allows us to offer more choice to travellers in both cities, strengthening the connection between them." He added, "While Hong Kong Airlines may be a younger brand in the mature Australian market, we are endeavouring in our commitment to providing quality service. We operate this route with our Airbus A330 aircraft, featuring comfortable business and economy class cabins, and strive to deliver a passenger-centric in-flight experience through attentive service and fine dining for our long-haul customers." Sydney Airport CEO Mr Scott Charlton said: "We're proud to welcome Hong Kong Airlines to Sydney as our 52nd airline partner with its strong reputation for service excellence, efficiency and value. This inaugural service comes on the back of the first expansion in bilateral air traffic rights between Australia and Hong Kong in 19 years and we thank the Albanese Federal Government for its role in enabling this important agreement, which reflects the strength of our longstanding cultural and economic ties." NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper, said: "Hong Kong is a priority international market for NSW, with incoming travellers contributing substantially to the NSW visitor economy. The Minns Labor Government has made it very clear; we want to grow our visitor economy and the best way to do this is by increasing airline capacity and unlocking new international markets for NSW. We've set our sights on increasing the state's aviation capacity by 8.5 million seats, and this new Hong Kong route will complement other new routes we're securing as we work towards landing this goal." Mr Wang Yu, Consul General of People's Republic of China (Sydney), said: "As the second Hong Kong-based airline to operate the Hong Kong–Sydney route, Hong Kong Airlines not only provides a convenient new option for traveling between China and Australia, but also contributes to enhanced exchanges among students, tourists, business professionals and friends from all walks of life. This new service will strengthen Hong Kong and Sydney's role as vital gateways for the flow of people and goods, injecting fresh momentum into the economic and cultural ties between China and Australia. Its launch will also attract more international travelers to transit through Hong Kong or Sydney, further strengthening both cities' positions as global aviation hubs and creating new opportunities for trade and investment. Looking ahead, the Consulate-General of China in Sydney will continue to encourage and support airlines from both China and Australia in restoring or launching new routes based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. We believe that Hong Kong Airlines will continuously enhance its service quality and showcase a good corporate image." Also in attendance at the Sydney welcome ceremony were representatives from the Consulate-General of the People's Republic of China in Sydney, Destination NSW and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Sydney). Exclusive Lounge Access for Connecting Passengers To celebrate the launch of the new service, passengers travelling on this route and transit at Hong Kong for selected Hong Kong Airlines flights* to Vancouver, Bali, Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Shanghai (Pudong), Haikou, or Sanya, between 20 June and 31 October 2025, will receive complimentary access to the airline's flagship lounge "Club Autus" at Hong Kong International Airport. *Please click here for the relevant terms and conditions. Expanding Route Network The launch of the Sydney service indicates Hong Kong Airlines' overarching strategy for its network expansion. Coupled with the various significant destinations that have been inaugurated or reinstated since the start of the year, including Gold Coast in Australia, Vancouver in Canada, and Hulunbuir in Inner Mongolia of mainland China, the airline has cultivated a more extensive and diversified route map. This further underscores Hong Kong Airlines' commitment and contribution to the aviation industry's recovery and long-term development. In addition to the new routes, the Company also increased the frequency of services on multiple routes to cater to the summer travel demand. This includes the resumption of seasonal flights to the Maldives and an increase in flights to Da Nang to two per day. Additionally, flights to Shanghai Pudong will be increased to four per day, while services to Hangzhou and Nanjing will become twice day. The variety of flight times available throughout the day provides business, leisure, and transit passengers with the flexibility to plan their itineraries. The Company will launch another new service in July, providing passengers with more travel options.

Here are the best robot vacuum deals available right now
The Eufy X10 Pro Omni, our favorite midrange robot vacuum / mop, is on sale for $250 off. | Photo by Jennifer Pattison Tuohy / The Verge We're in an age where you can realistically delegate tasks to smart hunks of metal, whether it's a self-driving car or a robot that can clean on your behalf. Most of us probably won't be able to afford the helpful sentient humanoids being developed in our lifetimes, but robot vacuums are an affordable way to experience that promised utopia right now. Today's floor cleaners are also more advanced than ever. In addition to vacuuming, many of the best models can now mop, allowing you to tackle both carpet and hardwood flooring. Some can automatically dispense of their trash and dirty water, too, and clean their own components without intervention. We now even have models that can pick up dirty laundry and purify the air in your home, preventing you from having to lift a finger. The best Roborock dealsThe best Dreame dealsThe best SwitchBot dealsThe best Eufy dealsThe best Yeedi dealsThe best Shark dealsThe best Roomba dealsOther robot vacuum deals But if you need something relatively affordable for daily cleaning, you'd be surprised how little you have to pay for premium features. Below, we've listed the best deals currently available on a slate of Verge-approved robot vacuums, whether you prefer a budget entry-level model from Yeedi or a top-of-the-line offering from iRobot, Dreame, and more. The best Roborock deals Roborock's S8 MaxV Ultra, our pick for the best robot vacuum overall, is available at Amazon for $999.99 ($800 off) — its best price to date — as a part of a limited-time lightning deal. The combination of a 10,000Pa suction power and dual rubber roller brushes makes it a terrific vacuum, one that can easily pick up pet hair and other debris. It can also mop with great efficiency thanks to a sonic mopping system that vibrates the mop pad 4,000 times a minute, allowing it to clean sticky juices, thick condiments, and other common spills. The mop arm can extend to cover corners and baseboard edges, too. The S8 MaxV Ultra's camera-equipped AI obstacle avoidance makes it the best navigator in Roborock's lineup and one of the top models overall, though it's not quite as strong as Roomba's. The mobile app offers ample options to customize cleaning zones and schedules, and you can use its dedicated voice assistant to start and stop routines. It's also a Matter-ready robot that's compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. The Roborock Q8 Max Plus is a cheaper alternative you can currently pick up from Roborock, Amazon, and Lowe's for $399.99 ($419 off), which is the lowest price we've seen. It isn't as powerful or feature-packed as the S8 MaxV Ultra, but it still delivers a solid 5,500Pa of suction power, rendering it good enough for most cleaning tasks. It also handles mopping well, with 30 adjustable water flow levels and a sizable 350ml water tank that allows it to cover larger areas without frequent refills. The robovac can map your home efficiently and avoid most obstacles thanks to built-in lidar navigation, though it lacks a built-in camera for advanced object recognition. The best Dreame deals The Dreame X40 Ultra is another mopping robot, and while it's on the more expensive side, you can currently pick it up for $999.99 ($500 off) from Dreame and Amazon (if you're a Prime member), which is $100 shy of its all-time low. You're paying a premium for 12,000Pa of suction power and a pair of removable, self-retracting mop pads, which it can automatically clean and dry on its own using the included base. It can also empty its own bin and refill its own water tank. The Dreame X40 Ultra features an extendable side brush and mop pads, too, offering better coverage for baseboards, corners, and the underside of your furniture. It uses a combination of AI-powered cameras and '3D-structured light' (presumably based on lidar technology) to map and navigate rooms, with customizable keep-out zones and more functions available in the app. There's also a dirt detection system that can identify messier spills and adjust its cleaning routine accordingly. The Dreame L20 Ultra is currently available for $649.99 ($350 off) from Amazon (for Prime members) and Dreame, which is $90 shy of its all-time low but still one of its better prices to date. The L20 Ultra is an excellent alternative to Dreame's newer flagship robots, including the X40. It lacks a bit of power in comparison, though its 7,000Pa of suction power is still enough for most cleaning jobs. It also doesn't have the L40's tri-cut brush, which makes the step-up model more efficient at picking up pet hair. The only other real advantage the X40 holds over the L20 is its self-extending arms for vacuuming (though the dual mop pads can extend a bit for baseboard and corner coverage), nor does it have dirt detection. The L20 Ultra's base station is rather large, but it can take care of the entire cleaning process, including emptying the dustbin, emptying and refilling the water tanks, and washing and drying the mop pads. It doesn't have a heated cleaning function for the mop pads, however. It uses a lidar-based AI-powered navigation system, and you can prompt it to start cleaning by voice using Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands. The best SwitchBot deals The SwitchBot S10 is available directly from SwitchBot for an all-time low of $459.99 ($740 off) when you use coupon code SYPT700. The S10 is one of the most affordable robot vacuum / mop hybrids you can buy, one that can refill its own tank so long as you hook the battery-powered base station into your home's plumbing. It can also dry its own mop pads and empty its own bin at a separate docking bay, and offers enough capacity to run for up to 90 days without intervention. The S10's self-cleaning roller mop is more effective than the typical pads we see in most other units, but it's also limited to a smaller coverage area. It only has a single roller brush for vacuuming, but its respectable 6,500Pa suction can make up for it. And while it has lidar mapping and AI-powered obstacle avoidance, we found it still has a tendency to get stuck on laundry, bath mats, and other obstacles. The S10 is also one of the few robovacs with Matter support, however, which effectively enables native control through Apple Home, Google Home, and Alexa (though said platforms don't yet fully support robot vacuums). Read our SwitchBot S10 review. The SwitchBot K10 Plus is available for $176 ($224 off) from SwitchBot (with promo code SYPT505), which is an all-time low. At 3.6 inches high and 9.8 inches wide, it's a more petite option if you want something that can maneuver tighter spaces, which it does to decent success with a lidar-based mapping system that supports digital keep-out zones. It only has 2,500Pa suction, but that should be powerful enough to lift dirt in all but the deepest carpeting. You can also attach disposable mopping pads, though their mopping function doesn't work well. The K10 Plus comes with a self-emptying dock that can hold a respectable four liters of dirt before it needs emptying. The best Eufy deals The Eufy X10 Pro Omni — our current pick for the best midrange robot vacuum / mop — is down to an all-time low of $549.99 ($250 off) at Eufy's online storefront when you use promo code WS7DV2T3DNEO, with Amazon and Best Buy matching said deal price. The X10 Pro Omni is a bit of a novelty, at least in comparison to other robovacs in its price range, in that it offers AI-powered obstacle detection, which allows it to deftly navigate cables and other clutter. It also features a slew of functions you'd expect from top-of-the-line models, including 8,000Pa of suction power, speedy lidar-powered mapping, and oscillating dual spinning brushes for mopping. Mind you, none of these features are as effective as they are on more premium models, though the result is an all-in-one bot that punches above its weight. Plus, it has heated mop drying and onboard water reservoir, the latter of which prevents it from having to return to its multifunction auto-empty / wash / fill dock too frequently. Now through June 25th, the Omni S1 Pro is on sale for an all-time low of $799.99 ($500 off) when you purchase it directly from Eufy with offer code WS24T2071111. The S1 Pro is an excellent robovac if you have mostly hardwood floors, with a long 11.4-inch roller mop, a square shape, and dual spinning side brushes that leave floors spotless (it can even reach into corners). What's more, the S1 Pro is capable of self-washing its own mop with water jets as it cleans, which it can then dry afterward using hot air. It's also a decent vacuum with 8,000Pa of suction, which is enough power to pick up most debris. Its AI-powered obstacle avoidance system is effective as well, allowing it to navigate around larger objects with relative ease. If you're looking for a bump-and-roll model that's relatively budget-friendly, the discontinued Eufy 11S Max is still on sale at Amazon for just $159.99 ($120 off). The 11S Max stands out from other robovacs because it doesn't use Wi-Fi, meaning it doesn't require you to fiddle with a mobile app on your phone. Instead, you can control it using an on-board button or with the included remote, which also allows you to create cleaning schedules. It's relatively quiet and reliable, too, with 2,000Pa of suction power and replaceable parts, making it a great long-term investment for those who want something basic. The best Yeedi deals The Yeedi Cube is currently down to an all-time low of $246.99 ($243 off) at Amazon at checkout. It's not easy to find a self-emptying / self-cleaning vacuum at this price, as those features are typically only available on robots that cost upward of $600 or more. With 5,100Pa of suction power, the Cube can tackle most common vacuuming scenarios, though its single hybrid rubber / bristle brush can get easily tangled with pet hair. It mops better than most models in its range, however, namely because its vibrating microfiber pads can actually scrub your floors. The Cube uses lasers for object avoidance, too, though it's not as effective for navigation as those with lidar and AI smarts. It can avoid large furniture and other objects, but it might need your help rerouting around cables, toys, and laundry. Still, we found it navigates better than most other robots under $300. The best Shark deals The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 is a great robot vacuum / mop hybrid that's now on sale for $399.99 ($320 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Shark, which is $20 shy of its all-time low price. Before the Eufy X10 Pro Omni took its place, the Matrix Plus 2-in-1 was our runner-up pick for those seeking a midrange robot vacuum that mops and automatically empties its own bin. Its vibrating, sonic mopping feature does an excellent job of scrubbing hardwood floors; however, keep in mind that you'll have to fill and attach the mop reservoir manually. The best Roomba deals You can get iRobot's Roomba Combo 10 Max from Amazon for $799.99 ($600 off), which is its second-best price to date. We think it's the best robot vacuum for pet hair, one that combines high suction power with rotating dual rubber brushes that pick up without getting tangled. What's even more impressive is that it comes with a new multifunction charging dock that allows it to empty its bin, wash its own mop, and even refill its mopping tank. Add in Matter support, excellent AI-powered obstacle detection, and a retractable mop arm, and you've got a robovac that makes cleaning almost entirely hands-free. If you're working with a tight budget, the Combo i5 is also a good vacuum / mop — one you can pick up on sale at Amazon and directly from iRobot right now for $199, down from $349.99. It's not as powerful as the aforementioned Combo 10 Max and can't refill its water tank or wash and dry its own mop; however, it still features Roomba's wide, dual rubber brushes, which do an excellent job of picking up dirt and debris. It doesn't support virtual keep-out zones or Matter, either, though you can schedule it to clean specific rooms at set times. It's also compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and like all Roombas, it's relatively easy to repair. Other robot vacuum deals Update, June 20th: Updated to reflect current pricing / availability and a newer deal for the Eufy Omni S1 Pro.
