Overview
- Coverage on October 15, 2026 shows the market now favors feature-led machines that solve long-standing problems such as dried-on stains, high door thresholds and poor corner access.
- Roborock's Saros 20 Flow Complete has strong independent test results, with Computer Bild naming it testsieger and praising its broad wiper roller, navigation and near-perfect dust pickup.
- MOVA's V70 Ultra Complete is commercially available and emphasizes reach and endurance with up to 40,000 Pa suction, mops and side brushes that extend far outside the chassis, and a station that washes mops with hot water.
- Dreame's Aqua20 Pro claims a steam-based system that heats at the generator to 180°C and delivers roughly 100°C at the nozzles plus an extendable roller, but independent lab verification of the steam advantage is still limited.
- Budget models now split into clear specializations: low-cost hard-floor cleaners with stations, high-suction carpet-focused bots, and combined vacuum-plus-wash units, so buyers should match model trade-offs to floor type, pets, maintenance tolerance and running costs.
