ZDNET's key takeaways The Eufy E28 robot vacuum, mop, and spot cleaner combination is available for $999.The mop performs better than more expensive flagships, and the water tank system doubles as a portable spot cleaner with a self-cleaning hose.Unplugging the spot cleaner also unplugs the charging station, and the spot cleaner requires you to brush it to scrub. more buying choices The Eufy E28 Omni robot vacuum and mop just hit its lowest price ever at $850, a total of $450 off with an on-page Amazon coupon.Robot vacuum manufacturers are constantly trying to outdo one another. One company develops a detachable cordless vacuum for the robot's dock, and the next makes the robot's dustbin a detachable cordless vacuum. Now, Eufy is upping the ante with the first robot vacuum to also have a detachable spot cleaner for carpet and upholstery. Also: Finally, I found a robot and handheld vacuum combo that's ideal for apartment dwellersThe Eufy Omni E28 is a robot vacuum and mop with a portable spot cleaner for carpets and upholstery. You can run your robot vacuum as you would any other, but you can also pick up the top with a built-in retractable handle and do some deep cleaning on carpets, rugs, or upholstery. I've been testing this robot vacuum over the past couple of weeks, and I'm happy to report on its performance.  details View at Amazon Essentially, the deep cleaner you carry is the Omni station's clean and dirty water tank, so it's where the robot autonomously sources clean water for its mop when it's at the dock. The deep cleaner has a handle for spot-cleaning with a hose, so you can set it down near where you want to clean and plug it in without holding it as you clean. Aside from detachable cordless vacuums, a mop roller system is another big thing for robot vacuums; many makers, including SwitchBot, Yeedi, and Ecovacs, are moving away from detachable rotating mop pads and using mop rollers instead. Eufy's also done this before with the flagship S1 Pro.  Maria Diaz/ZDNETThe Omni E28 also has a mop roller, which looks similar to the S1 Pro but not identical. The Eufy Omni S1 Pro is unequivocally the best mopping robot vacuum I've ever tested, so I was excited to test the new Omni E28, which features a very similar system. Thankfully, the Omni E28 didn't disappoint. The large mop roller covers the length of the vacuum's width and leaves no streaks behind during mopping. Streaky floors are one of my biggest pet peeves when testing robot vacuum and mop combinations, and they're a more common occurrence than I'd like. Also: My favorite indoor security camera has no subscription fees and is on sale right nowEufy is also launching an E25 robot vacuum, which features the same HydroJet self-cleaning mop system as the E28. The robot's mop roller is continuously scraped clean as it spins, and it keeps clean and dirty water in separate tanks within its body, so it only mops with clean water. The mop also exerts more downward pressure to ensure deep cleaning than the S1 Pro, with 1.5kg (3.3 lbs) instead of 1kg.  Maria Diaz/ZDNETHowever, continuously spraying the roller with clean water inside the robot keeps it moist. Scraping off the dirt and wringing out the dirty water as the roller spins ensures your floors are clean instead of streaky or filmy. The Eufy Omni E28, like the S1 Pro, is the closest thing to a manual mopping result you can get from a robot vacuum and mop. Also: I love a vacuum and mop to clean dry and wet messes, especially when it's on saleThe E28 and E25 robot vacuums have 20,000Pa of suction power and anti-tangle technology, including a DuoSpiral double roller brush to remove pet hair and avoid entanglements. The robots are self-emptying robot vacuums with a self-washing mop roller. The only difference is the portable spot cleaner, which only the E28 has. The Eufy Omni E28 robot vacuum and mop has dual brush rollers and a roller mop. Maria Diaz/ZDNETThe spot cleaner proved to be very effective. It's heavy, like most spot cleaners when full of water, but it has a retractable handle on top that makes it easy to carry around. You also don't have to press any buttons or move anything to release it; just unplug it, pull the retractable handle, and go. I didn't like that the spot cleaner powers the base station, so if you take it somewhere else in your home to clean, the robot's charging station is left without power until you return it. This is fine for quick cleanups, but it can be annoying when a forgetful house member takes the spot cleaner upstairs and leaves it in a room for two days after they're done (totally not me). Also: This simple Amazon tablet became one of my biggest smart home upgrades yet (and it's on sale)The spot cleaner has a self-cleaning hose attached, but no other attachments. The hose ends in a static brush head that sprays clean water, which you use to clean messes on soft surfaces, like carpets, rugs, and upholstery. Since it isn't motorized, you must manually brush the rug or fabric with the brush head to scrub it clean. Once you're done, you just have to press a button along one end of the brush head to make the spot cleaner cycle clean water through the hose without spilling, cleaning the hose for you.  These pictures were taken three minutes apart. The left (before) shows yogurt stains on an ottoman. I sprayed a liquid spot cleaner and went over it with the brush and water; the results are on the right (after). Maria Diaz/ZDNETThere's no separate detergent tank for the spot cleaner, though you could add some detergent directly into the clean water tank. I recommend using just water in the clean water tank and spraying your preferred carpet or upholstery cleaning solution directly on the stains to pre-treat them. You can then scrub the mess clean with the Eufy E28 brush and rinse out the detergent. ZDNET's buying adviceThe Eufy Omni E28 is designed to solve a big problem for many US customers: the need for regular floor cleanings and the ability to quickly clean up messes on soft surfaces in a single device. This device isn't meant to replace your existing carpet cleaner, but it's perfect for consumers who may need a spot cleaner and are also in the market for one of the best robot vacuum and mops available.Also: Spring cleaning takes me no time with my favorite smart home devicesI'm not a fan of fully carpeted living spaces, but my home has carpeted bedrooms, one of which we use as our TV room. With three young kids who have movie nights and play time in that TV room, its carpet unfortunately sees a lot of spills. I was in the market for a spot cleaner for a while, but decided to buy a full carpet cleaner instead, which I use to clean our carpets at least once every quarter.  The E28 cleaned up the soy sauce stains comparably to the larger carpet cleaner. Maria Diaz/ZDNETBut there are always little messes in between -- whether it's spilled ketchup on the carpet, a muddy shoeprint on the entryway rug, or yogurt on the fabric ottoman. So I appreciate having the Eufy Omni E28's spot cleaner always handy. Instead of dragging out a heavy carpet cleaning machine and filling it with water to clean a 6-inch in diameter spill, I can just unplug and grab the E28, clean the mess, and return it to the dock with little work on my end. It's also priced quite well for a first-of-its-kind device with a flagship-level robot vacuum and mop. The Eufy Omni E28 robot vacuum, mop, and spot cleaning combination is now available on Eufy's website and Amazon for $1,000. The Eufy E25 robot vacuum and mop without the spot cleaner will be available in June for $900. When will this deal expire?

Lately I’ve been playing a new job sim game, Crime Scene Cleaner, while also watching BBC’s comedy series The Cleaner, both of which focus on the aftermath of gruesome murders – sometimes you just need some cosy viewing to take the edge off the day. In the TV show, Greg Davies plays Wicky, the acerbic employee of a government-endorsed clean-up company, while Crime Scene Cleaner’s lead character Kovalsky is a lowly janitor, mopping up blood and disposing of trash to cover up for a mob boss named Big Jim.The crime scenes in both are laughably over the top. Or are they? I’ve never actually seen a real-life murder scene, so perhaps copious blood sprayed over walls and ceilings and the masses of broken furniture is completely normal.Take the edge off … Greg Davies as Wicky in the BBC’s The Cleaner. Photograph: Tom Jackson/PAStepping into Kovalsky’s plastic overshoes, the aim is to leave each location exactly as it was prior to the … um … incident. Unlike Wicky, who has to constantly deal with annoying homeowners and neighbours, Kovalsky has no living humans for company; just the dead ones that he hauls over his shoulder before slinging them unceremoniously into the back of his pickup truck. Each scene plays out in silence, save for the occasional brief chat with Big Jim and Kovalsky’s own pithy self-talk. Both Kovalsky and Wicky are world-weary labourers, doing what is necessary to get through each blood-splattered scene. But there are differences between the two men: Kovalsky swipes cash and valuables to boost his bank balance (he’s saving up to pay his daughter’s medical bills) while Wicky just wants to get finished in time for curry night at the pub.Crime Scene Cleaner is a weird concept for a game, the unnatural offspring of PowerWash Simulator and Hitman. But despite the macabre premise, I’ve come to appreciate the quiet, contemplative and satisfying process of cleaning up, as Kovalsky stuffs fragments of glass, pizza slices and broken crockery into his bin bag before hurling it into his truck and getting started on all the blood spatter with a microfibre mop, pushing sofas and tables back and returning ornaments to their rightful spot on the shelves afterwards. It’s immensely satisfying, despite the game’s realistic yet tiresome insistence on continually wringing out your mops and sponges.No living humans for company … Crime Scene Cleaner video game. Photograph: President StudioExploring increasingly bizarre locations is also a common theme between the two: Crime Scene Cleaner has a pizzeria, a museum and a spooky smart house; The Cleaner takes in an ice-cream parlour, theatre and stately home. I love that the game gives me a chance to become a more sedate version of The Cleaner’s Wicky without the interference of coppers, maniacal novelists or even the killer themselves (as brilliantly portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter in the show). With his daughter ensconced in a medical clinic, Kovalsky’s only (living) companion is his playful German shepherd. Its name? Dexter. Of course.At the end of each clean-up, I find myself standing back and admiring the scene, content with a job well done. Crime Scene Cleaner and The Cleaner both tap into the very essence of black comedy, where horror becomes amusingly banall. In both, the crimes have already happened, the worst has been done and all that remains is… the remains.

For Gen Z, homeownership or even just living alone brings a new set of responsibilities, and, often, a lot of confusion. How do you manage a home without letting it manage you? How do you keep it clean without feeling like you’re constantly at war with dust bunnies and mildew? SCOP helps you with that! A sleek, intelligent, and modular cleaning system designed specifically for the needs, habits, and lifestyles of today’s youth. SCOP is more than a robot vacuum; it’s a quiet, ambient home assistant that handles the unseen, unnoticed tasks you didn’t even know were weighing you down. Gone are the days when cleaning simply meant sweeping and mopping. Gen Z knows better. Home maintenance today is about convenience, wellness, and vibes. But even with the occasional chore, it’s easy to overlook what’s not right in front of you, like the dampness creeping into corners, the musty smell that slowly blends into the air, or the dust silently collecting behind the couch. These are the invisible chores, and SCOP is here to make them visible and manageable. SCOP consists of three core components: SCOP-Hub: A robotic vacuum that doesn’t just clean floors, it acts as the brain of the operation, moving around your space, collecting data, and sensing invisible environmental changes. Think of it as your home’s subtle yet all-seeing eye. SCOP-Humi: A moisture-fighting module using silica gel to prevent mold in areas prone to dampness. It’s perfect for dealing with rainy days, laundry forgetfulness, or muggy bathrooms. SCOP-Odor: This plasma ionizer tackles unpleasant smells at the molecular level. Whether it’s lingering food smells, pet odors, or that “I’ve lived here too long” funk, Odor handles it. Together, they work in harmony, scanning, detecting, acting, and predicting. Once SCOP identifies an issue, it recommends or even automatically deploys the appropriate module. Your only job? Toss, hang, or place Humi and Odor where the SCOP-Hub suggests. SCOP’s design language is minimalist, modern, and quietly confident. The entire set blends seamlessly into your living space, feeling more like curated home decor than cleaning equipment. It’s not another plastic gadget cluttering your floor; it’s an integrated part of your interior. One of SCOP’s most innovative features is its intelligence in when and what to clean. It learns your patterns, when you leave the house, where you tend to leave wet clothes, what corners gather dust, and builds a smart routine. It logs this in the SCOP Log, a sort of memory bank that helps it predict and suggest tasks before problems even occur. Say you’ve got pets, SCOP automatically triggers dust control. If you’re out on a rainy day and leave damp laundry behind, it deploys the Humi module without waiting for you to notice the smell of mildew. That’s the power of predictive, invisible task management. SCOP recognizes that your schedule is packed. It doesn’t ask for your time, it just does what needs to be done and lets you know afterward. No deep dives into cleaning routines, no complicated settings. You don’t have to be a home expert. SCOP already is. It’s a solution made for small homes with big personalities. For shared apartments where no one wants to take out the trash. For city-dwellers who crave order but don’t want to obsess over it. In a world where tech is everywhere, SCOP stands out by being exactly where you need it, without demanding your attention. It shifts the mindset from doing chores to living in a place that just takes care of itself. By mapping your home’s unique personality and addressing even its most hidden needs, SCOP allows you to finally exhale and focus on what truly matters: living.The post The Smart Cleaning System Revolutionizing Home Care for Gen Z Renters and Owners first appeared on Yanko Design.

Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication.If you’ve been thinking about upgrading to a robot vacuum that also mops and handles its own maintenance, this deal from Roborock might be worth a look. The Roborock Qrevo S Robot Vacuum and Mop is currently available for Amazon Prime users at 38% off and features multiple benefits for anyone tired of vacuuming and mopping their entire home. It includes several automated features, including emptying its own dustbin, refilling its own water tank, and washing and drying mop pads. Compared to models where these tasks would have to be done manually, the Qrevo is a time-saver that may be worth the extra cost.  Roborock Qrevo S Robot Vacuum and Mop $499.99 at Amazon $799.99 Save $300.00 Get Deal Get Deal $499.99 at Amazon $799.99 Save $300.00 Amazon reviewers say that this model offers a thorough yet quiet clean on hard floors, which is in part due to the vacuum robot’s spinning mops. It also uses tech to map out your living space and avoid obstacles. When paired with the app, you can adjust cleaning zones, schedules, and areas the robot isn’t allowed in. While its suction power claims to be strong enough to work well on carpets, it isn’t specifically designed for deep-cleaning this kind of surface. In addition, unlike more feature-rich models like the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, it won’t lift when it’s crossing a rug. It may be better suited for people with hard floor surfaces, especially pet owners, as this system’s brush prevents hair from getting trapped or tangled.  Despite being apartment-friendly, it still consumes space and might not be worth the splurge for smaller spaces where a lower-priced model might suffice. Compared to models that cost only $100 less, though, it offers significantly more features (and convenience). If you’re a Prime member looking for a budget-friendly vacuum-mop hybrid with bells and whistles that won’t break the bank, Roborock’s Qrevo S hits a sweet spot between price point, functionality, and automation.

The high-end iRobot Roomba Combo 10 Max is available for $779 via Wellbots as part of a Memorial Day promotion. That's a giant discount of $620. This is exclusive to Engadget readers, so enter the code ENGD620 at checkout to secure the deal. The Roomba Combo 10 Max is one of the company's most advanced robovacs. It comes with all kinds of bells and whistles, including a mop, a self-emptying bin and an autowash dock. That's right. It'll wash and dry the mop pads all on its own. At the time of its release last year, this was the first robot vacuum on the market that could do that. The software is also advanced enough to know which areas of the home get dirtiest fastest, adjusting cleaning power accordingly. It also boosts suction power when rolling over a carpet, which is something pet owners will likely be happy about. All adjustments are made via the iRobot app, and this app will even let people know when it's time for a manual maintenance task. The mopping tank holds enough water for seven continuous days of use, which is nice, and the debris gets off-loaded into an enclosed bag for easy disposal. The only downside with this model is the exorbitant $1,399 asking price. Luckily, this deal has taken care of that.

If you're preparing for a move, you have a lot to think about and most of it revolves, in some way, around your new place: Finding it, buying or leasing it, and moving all your stuff to it in a way that is fast, efficient, and as inexpensive as possible. There's a lot on your plate and I get that, but you also need to spare a thought or two for the spot you're vacating, especially if you rent. Remember that security deposit you put down when you moved in? You want that back—and your landlord doesn't want to give it to you. Here's how to get it back, or at least try. What is the landlord looking for?First, think like a landlord or building manager. After all your stuff is boxed up and you're standing in the ghostly echo chamber that was once your home, take a look around and pay attention for the little issues the landlord might spot when they do their walk-through. Marshall Aikman, owner of Amazing Moves Moving and Storage in Denver, CO, says landlords can hold back deposits over anything from furniture marks on the wall to nail holes to dirty fixtures. After all, cleaning is labor, too, and the management company will need to pay someone to do it, which is what they're going to use the deposit money for. Better to do it yourself. Start with cleaningAikman says the easiest thing to do is clean everything before you leave. The good news is that once all your stuff is boxed up or gone, you'll see pretty clearly what needs to be cleaned and you won't have any obstacles to deal with, like shelving units. The same heavy furniture that once prevented you from doing a thorough cleaning will be gone. Make the most of it. Shannon Beller, CEO and co-founder of Wall-Russ, says that it's pretty common for movers to overlook cleaning appliances, bathrooms, and floors. Remember you're not only mopping and cleaning scuffs off the wall, but should be cleaning the toilet, fridge, sinks, and other appliances and fixtures. It's annoying and will take some time—plus feel almost insulting to clean a space you won't be enjoying anymore—but it can save you money. It might even be worth it to consider a professional cleaning company, says Shanaiqua D'Sa, content marketing lead at Attic Self Storage. Call a few cleaning companies and get written price quotes, then compare the cost to the amount of your security deposit. If the cost of having it cleaned is significantly lower and if you're feeling overwhelmed by all you have to do, outsourcing could be an economical and time-saving option. Address minor damagesBeller says that renters tend to overlook small damages and focus on bigger ones, but those small ones add up. One or two nail holes aren't a huge deal, sure, but if you have them in every single wall, your landlord might start to object. Charles Chica, co-owner of CT Best Movers, agrees that renters often forget to patch those small holes and fix those minor damages. As a general rule, fix even the most minor issues. You don't want to give the building company any reason to withhold even a cent of that deposit. Scuffs, holes, peeling plaster, scratches, loose screws—one trip to the hardware store can help you a lot here. In my experience, fixing up the old place also helps prepare you to get to work in the new one. For me, doing a little manual labor gets me back into the groove of working with my hands so when I arrive at my new home, I feel readier to get my hands dirty there. It's unfortunate but true that every time I've moved, I've left my old place perfect and moved into a spot that is, inexplicably, a little dirty and/or malfunctioning. That's the nature of renting in a big city! The prior renters probably didn't get their security deposit back, which became my problem. Always be prepared for something like that. You can certainly fight with the rental company and demand someone come in and clean it, but after all the stress of moving, I've always found I don't have the energy to kick off my time in a new place by aggravating my new landlord. Be smart during the actual moveAddressing the mess and damage left from your existence in the space is one thing. Avoiding further damage when you leave is another. If you're moving your furniture and boxes out on your own, do not bang them into the wall or allow them to hit door frames. And whatever you do, don't drag. "Dragging furniture out without proper protection can damage door frames or walls. Use blankets, sliders or even flattened cardboard to protect surfaces on your way out," says Jordan Sakala of laborhutt.com. "Little details can save a lot." This was a point touched on by a number of pros I talked to, actually. Aikman and Chica also took care to mention that movers frequently overlook how much damage they can cause by moving larger pieces of furniture, especially. Chia says renters are prone to underestimating how tight corners or staircases are, too. Take some measurements of your furniture as well as the path you're going to take it through before you start. When in doubt, it might be time to call professional movers—but make sure you communicate clearly with them about the importance of not causing any damage. Use a few supplies to make this easier. Painter's tape can be affixed to walls and door frames to protect against scratches, for instance, and it peels of easily when you're finished. Matt Graber, co-owner of Cool Hand Movers in Brooklyn, says you should wrap all your furniture in blankets, which not only protects the walls and doorways as you move it, but protects the furniture itself in transit. Document the space on your way outWhen the cleaning and fixing-up are finished, take a lot of photos and videos. Once again, this tip was highlighted by a few different pros. Aikman, Beller, and D'sa all brought it up, pointing out that in the event the landlord tries to dispute giving you back your deposit, you want evidence that shows that you left the place damage-free and clean. Taking pictures and videos can also help you spot any last-minute issues you need to fix. When I need to clean or declutter, I sometimes take a picture of my space instead of trying to assess it visually. I'm just used to how my rooms look in real life, so seeing them more impersonally through a photo helps me recognize what's out of place, what is taking up too much space, and what needs some attention a little better. While you're taking pictures and videos, look at them like the landlord might and pay attention for anything that looks off.

ZDNET's key takeaways The Roborock Saros Z70 is now available for purchase for $2,599.The Saros Z70 is the first robot vacuum with a mechanical arm to lift lightweight objects and clean those missed areasThis robot vacuum performs impressively well, but you can expect some bugs with the OmniGrip mechanical arm function. View now at Roborock The Roborock Saros Z70 is currently on sale at Roborock for $1,999 for Memorial Day, down $600 from the usual price of $2,599.I've spent the past few years of my life turning my home into the closest version of the Jetsons' house that I can get, bypassing the midcentury decor and flying cars. While I'm pleased to report that many of the predictions made by the 1960s sitcom have materialized over the decades, many remain unrealized. The biggest one? Rosie the Robot. Also: This midrange robot vacuum cleans as well as some flagship models - and it's 50% offThankfully, many companies are rallying behind the effort to create a household assistant robot. However, after being lucky enough to test the Roborock Saros Z70 with a mechanical arm, I believe Roborock has a definite edge on the competition. While other companies have created different kinds of household robots, the Saros Z70 is a multifunctional robot that could be a stepping stone to the future of smart homes.  details View at Us.roborock The Roborock Saros Z70 is a premium robot vacuum and mop with all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a flagship, plus a mechanical arm to pick up objects. And I can't dive into a review of this product without immediately focusing on this robotic grip. When the robot vacuum is cleaning, it detects small obstacles it can handle and picks them up. The robot then navigates to a predetermined area to drop off the item. Then, the device returns to the spot the object occupied and resumes cleaning the area.  Maria Diaz/ZDNETThe Saros Z70 comes with a Roborock bin that you can place in your home for your robot to drop soft items into. It's a rigid cardboard bin that looks like a small trash bin you'd see under a desk or in a bathroom. After your robot creates a virtual map of your home, you place the bin and you add it to the map in the Roborock mobile app. You can also add a larger area for your robot to drop off other items, like slippers and light shoes. The biggest question, of course, is: does the mechanical arm work as intended? After testing it in my home, I'm pleased to report that it does -- at least the vast majority of the time.Also: I invested in this 3-in-1 robot vacuum, and it's paying off for my homeTo test the OmniGrip mechanical arm, I set out ten obstacles around the house several times and ran full cleanings. I also did smaller area cleanings with fewer objects. The robot vacuum sees the object and gives a voice prompt to announce it's going to sort an item. It deploys the mechanical arm and lines itself up to pick up the item.  The Roborock Saros Z70's OmniGrip mechanical arm can be remotely controlled to pick up and drop off items at will. Maria Diaz/ZDNETOnce the arm grips the item, the robot travels to drop it off. It lines itself up with the bin or designated sorting area and releases the object, then retracts the arm. Also: My picks for the best robot vacuums for pet hair of 2025: Roomba, Eufy, Ecovacs, and moreIn my tests, the Roborock mechanical arm picked up the intended objects 83% of the time. This is a great number for a robot that is effectively introducing this type of technology to the market. It's also a great number when you consider that the robot's initial rollout has a very limited number of items it can recognize and pick up.  Maria Diaz/ZDNETRoborock says the Saros Z70 currently recognizes socks, sandals, crumpled tissues, and towels under 300g (about eight ounces), and that new sortable objects will be added continuously via firmware updates. When I only used the recognizable objects, the robot gripped and relocated 90% of the items. When I added other small obstacles, like shoes, small cups, and plastic film, it gripped 75% of the objects.Also: This Ecovacs robot vacuum and mop is a sleeper hit, and it handles carpeting like a champAs a robot vacuum and mop, the Roborock Saros Z70's performance is outstanding -- I have zero qualms with it. It is one of the best robot vacuum and mop combos I've ever tested. It has the best obstacle avoidance feature I've seen thus far, so it doesn't get stuck on random objects, and it has an extendable mop pad to clean near edges. The robot also cleans quite thoroughly, much like the Saros 10 and Saros 10R, so you can count on it reaching pretty much every foot of your home.  Maria Diaz/ZDNETI did encounter some bugs with the robot's OmniGrip performance, but I can't fault Roborock for them. Aside from the fact that no robot vacuum is perfect (and this one nearly is), these bugs can be attributed to the fact that this is really new technology. Some bugs included the robot only vacuuming and "forgetting" to resume mopping after dropping off an object, and dropping objects that were hard to grip, like kids' water shoes.ZDNET's buying advice Maria Diaz/ZDNETThe Roborock Saros Z70 isn't the right robot vacuum for most shoppers. Instead, this robot vacuum and mop is perfect for early adopters who enjoy testing the newest cutting-edge technologies. As the first robot vacuum with a mechanical arm to be widely available on the market, you can expect to encounter bugs with the Saros Z70 -- it's only natural.Also: This robot vacuum might be better at cleaning than me - and I'm a neat freakEven so, I was thoroughly impressed with the robot's cleaning performance and the OmniGrip technology. I was also impressed with Roborock's fast and widespread launch of this robot after announcing it late last year. The Roborock Saros Z70 is the next level in robot vacuum technology, and it's pioneering the idea of a functional, multipurpose household robot that you can truly rely on.However, it is quite expensive. The Saros Z70 will vacuum and mop like the best robot vacuums on the market. But you must be aware that you're not paying for a robot vacuum alone; you're paying for the innovation of having a future-forward robot in your home.  When will this deal expire?
