A year after launching the first robot vacuum with an extendable arm, Roborock is back at it at CES 2026 with a robot vacuum with extendable legs. While the new robot vacuum — which can climb stairs and even jump — is being shown as a demo, the company is also refreshing the other robot vacuums in its suite of home assistants, with improved cleaning prowess, as well as the ability to get over higher thresholds than last year's models.

Here’s a quick look at all of Roborock's new models, what they can do, and when we might expect them. Some definitely look like contenders for our picks of the best robot vacuums, but we'll have to wait until we get to test them ourselves.

Finally, a robot vacuum that can clean your whole house. The Saros Rover features two wheels attached to extendable legs, which allow the robot vacuum to lift itself up stairs, turn quickly, and even make small jumps. Similar to a Segway, the Saros Rover can balance itself on its two leg wheels.

Unlike other Roborock vacuums which have a more circular shape, the Rover is more rectangular, and has a flatter front, which allows it to also clean stairs as it ascends to the next level of your house. Similar to the Saros Z70 from CES 2025, the Rover is being shown solely as a demo, and Roborock has not yet announced when it will be available.

An updated version of the Roborock Saros 10, which earned a spot on our list of the best robot vacuums for pet hair, the Saros 20 has an improved AdaptLift Chassis 3.0 system, which can lift the robot over 1.77-inch single thresholds, and an additional 1.57 inches if you have a double threshold. It does so by means of a dual roller system — a smaller set of rollers provides the extra lift needed to get over the hump. What’s more, the Saros 20 will remember how it crossed over specific thresholds, so it doesn’t have to re-learn the process each time.

Like the Saros 10, the Saros 20 is a hybrid model, capable of both vacuuming and mopping, but its vacuum has a more powerful rated suction power of 35,000Pa. Its new dock, the RoboDock, will wash the mop with 212°F water, and dry it at 131°F. The capacity of its dust bag has also increased, and can be used for up to 65 days.

The Saros 20 will be available in 2026, but pricing and its release date have not yet been announced.

For those who need a little extra scrubbing power, the Saros 20 Sonic has a semicircular, vibrating mop head (the standard Saros 20 has dual spinning mop heads) that can deliver 14nm of pressure, and vibrates at up to 4,000 times per minute. In addition, the mop head can extend out from the chassis, so as to better reach the corners of your room.

The mop is also self-cleaning, and the dock can heat water to 212 degrees F, to better kill bacteria and anything else that might be lingering on the mop. The Sonic model also uses a 360-degree LiDAR navigation system that’s mounted on the top of the vacuum; when it encounters a narrow space, the dome will retract into the robot, so it fit into spaces as small as 8 inches.

The Saros 20 Sonic will be available with two docks: one that has a clean and dirty-water tank, and a lower-profile version that can be hooked up to water and drainage lines.

This is another hybrid model, but it uses a roller mop that’s designed for hard floors. The mop spins at 220 RPM, and can apply 15N of pressure. In addition, the mop can extend out the side of the robot to clean along edges. A scraper removes additional moisture to help prevent water marks on the floor. The mop can raise itself 15mm so as not to get your carpet wet. Its vacuum has a 20,000pa suction power, so it’s not as powerful as the Saros models. And, it can’t lift itself over thresholds like the Saros models.

The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow will be available starting January 19th, 2026, at a promotional sales price of $849. After Feb. 1, the price will increase to $999.
