Roborock has launched a new flagship robovac, and that's your cue to go and buy the old version for a massively reduced price

Head to Amazon right now and you'll find the Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for £799.98 (was £1,199.99). That's a ridiculously strong deal on one of my very favorite robot vacuums.

I test dozens of robovacs each year, and it's the Saros 10 that has earned a permanent spot in my home. It heads out every other night to take care of the clouds of dog hair, pawprints, crumbs and dust that has built up over the past 48 hours. I've been using it very regularly for the past 10 months and it has never let me down – the cleaning is excellent, it's easy to use, and it's ultra-reliable too.

I suspect the reason for the big price drop is that Roborock has announced a newer version of this bot – it's called the Roborock Saros 20 Sonic, and while that bot has some unique upgrades, the Saros 10 is still an absolutely outstanding robot vacuum. And it's a steal with this current discount.

At full price, the Saros 10 is extremely expensive. With this 1/3 off discount it's... OK it's still very expensive. But for the features and build quality, it's worth the investment if you're able to splash out a bit. We have seen this price before, towards the end of last year, but it's rare to see a discount this deep, and it's never been cheaper.

The Roborock Saros 10 is one of two sister models – it sits alongside the Saros 10R, which is also excellent, but doesn't have the discount. The main differences are that the Saros 10 has a LiDAR puck that can retract when the robot is entering a low-height space (this guy has no trouble cleaning under my sofa) and a D-shaped mop pad that vibrates, whereas the 10R has a newer navigation system that doesn't require a LiDAR puck, and two, disc-shaped pads that spin.

Both are superb (in fact, in our Roborock Saros 10R vs Saros 10 comparison, we struggled to choose a winner), but it's the Saros 10 that's attracting the big discounts right now. It's still an investment, but if you're able to splurge, it's worth it.
