1 min readRoborock revealed local pricing for the Saros Z70 (the robot vacuum with an arm), and you'd better start saving. Due to be released in May this year, the Saros will retail for an eye-watering $3,999. Before this Roborock's most expensive robovacs have capped out at $2,999, putting the cost of a robotic arm at around $1,000.
On top of being able to shake your hand, and pick up objects up to 300g in weight, the Z70 comes with a range of advanced robot vacuum features. It has the Adaptilift Chassis which can navigate across thresholds of up to 4cm as seen on other models like the Qrevo Curv. It has a similar slimline design to the Saros 10, coming in at just 7.98cm which should be thin enough to get underneath most lowline furniture. Edge cleaning is enabled through the FlexiArm system, and back at the dock self cleaning is entirely automated. Plus it includes Matter support for easier smart home connectivity.
Although there is no estimated ship date, pre-orders are now open for the Saros Z70. Orders made before midnight April 20th come with an F25 Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaner, which is valued at $699, effectively bringing the robovac's price down to $3,300.
Alongside this lad, Roborock has also expanded its entry level and mid-range offerings. The manufacturer will bring the Qrevo C, Qrevo L, Q10V+ and Q7T+ to market in April this year. The Qrevo range are $1,699 and $1,499 respectively, and feature dual spining mops, anti-tangle roller brushes, and entirely automated cleaning back at the dock. The main cost-saving measures here come from lower suction power, and less intelligent navigation. We predict these will perform similarly to the Qrevo S which was released last year.
The Q7+ and the Q10V+ are Roborock's budget range starting from $799 and $1,299. These two still have self-emptying docks and anti-tangle rollers, but the the Q7+ doesn't mop, and the Q10V+ uses a more manual mopping system. Considering how high robot vacuum prices have become, it is nice to see more affordable options enter the market. Gotta do something to balance out the price of that robotic arm.
