With its new robot vacuum, Roborock has solved what has long seemed like one of the last major challenges in robot vacuum development.
Unveiled today, the Roborock Saros Rover can actually climb stairs.

Over the years, several other companies have showcased various concepts of stair-climbing robot vacuums, but little has been heard of them beyond demo stages. Roborock's new model, however, is set to go on sale for real.
Saros Rover also stands apart from every other stair-climbing robot vacuum we've seen before in that it cleans the stairs while climbing them.



The company already surprised the industry last year with another exotic solution when it introduced the arm-equipped robot vacuum, the Roborock Saros Z70 - which we also reviewed - in our own test.
