The Roborock Saros Z70, the first robot vacuum with a mechanical arm, offers impressive capabilities like a five-axis arm for picking up lightweight items. However, its performance is inconsistent; it struggles with detecting and retrieving multiple items, failing to consistently pick up footwear. Priced at $2,599, the Z70 boasts advanced suction and navigation but continues to fall short in practical applications, particularly in household tidiness. While it's a pioneering model in robotic cleaning technology, it requires further development to justify its high price point.
In theory, this means I should spend less time picking up after my kids or rummaging in Gus' bed to find the socks he's stolen.
For example, while the bot would detect footwear, it nearly always opted not to pick up any shoes, only once retrieving a slipper or sandal of its own volition.
Still, this is the first consumer robot vacuum to venture into appendage territory, and even in this beta-like stage, it's remarkable.
The Saros Z70 needs to pick up more than a few socks.
