    Review of the Roborock Saros 20 (MSRP €1,499): its AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 climbs steps up to 8.8 cm, but only as two steps of 4.5 and 4.3 cm, more than double the Saros 10R's 4 cm. Reliable obstacle detection, under 8 cm tall, average battery life.

    Review of the Saros 20 Sonic (last updated Aug 28, 2026): it cleared a 57 mm single threshold, above Roborock's 45 mm rating and tied with the standard Saros 20 for the best result Vacuum Wars has recorded. Strong vacuuming; mopping below expectations for the price.
