At the end of 2025, we added twelve new appliances to our test database: all of them robot hoovers with a mopping function. All of the new models have a service station with a dust tank, some also have a water tank. The stations relieve humans of work - for example, by pumping dust out of the robot or cleaning the mop cloths. However, this convenience comes at a price.

Is the Roborock Saros Z70 impressive? Without a doubt! When it extends its arm, your eyes go wide (at least the first few times). It's impressive to see the robot vacuum clearing its own path to clean the entire area and helping to tidy up at the same time. Technically, the Saros Z70 is undoubtedly the most exciting representative of its kind currently on the market, even if not everything went smoothly...

With its gripper arm, the Saros Z70 brings a breath of fresh air to the robot hoover market. It recognises socks and shoes, removes small items and thus frees up space for cleaning.
