Roborock Saros 20 vs Dreame Matrix10 Ultra
Prices and specs checked
Our verdict
The Matrix10 Ultra: the same price buys a published map count, longer cover and a dock that changes mop pads.

Pick the Saros 20 instead if low beds and couches matter: it is 79.8 mm tall against the Dreame's 89 mm with its sensor lowered. Roborock also gives a run time in its main table, 200 minutes, where Dreame's figure sits in a footnote.

Both cost $1,999, both leave their mops behind for carpet, both wash at 100 °C and both use a camera. Roborock claims more suction, 36,000 Pa to 30,000 Pa, and a lower body. Dreame's dock carries three kinds of mop pad and fits the right one for the room, and Dreame says the robot maps 4 floors.
Pick the Matrix10 Ultra if
you clean two or three storeys. Its published map count puts it top of the matcher's list for a carpeted two-storey house with a pet, and Dreame's warranty is 3 years against Roborock's 2 years.

In practice
On one level the two fit exactly the same homes in our matcher. The map count is the whole difference upstairs: Roborock doesn't publish one for the Saros 20, so our matcher can't confirm it for a multi-level house.
Dreame's pad-swapping dock is the unusual feature. It holds fabric, bristle and sponge pads and picks by room; the Saros 20 keeps one pair and raises it 15 mm when it isn't leaving it behind. Dreame says its water hookup kit isn't sold in Australia, and Roborock Store ANZ sells no plumbed Saros 20, so both are refilled by hand.
