### 3/5 — Issues to open the app

*2026-08-21, version 4.70.02*

Since the sencond time I use it it was impossible to to open the app til now moths after

### 3/5 — All the voices are female

*2026-08-19, version 4.70.02*

A million language options and all voices are female. Just wow. Roborock, since you clearly think women are the ones doing all the cleaning, has it occurred to you we might actually want to hear a male voice coming from the vacuum?

### 3/5 — Good but with some absurd limitations

*2026-08-18, version 4.70.02*

Pretty good, but the inability to define more than a handful of routines gets totally on my way and removes value. PLEASE FIX THIS NONSENSE!!!

### 3/5 — Needs a proper iPad app

*2026-08-17, version 4.70.02*

The app is ok but i found it frustrating trying to place thresholds, no go areas and furniture on such a small app. So loaded on to ipad for a bigger screen but unfortunately it’s not a proper iPad app it just gives the same small screen as on the iPhone. There doesn’t seem to be a way to disable the annoying tips either.

### 3/5 — Saros 10R Has Serious Navigation and Mopping Issues

*2026-08-17, version 4.70.02*

I really like the Roborock Saros 10R overall, but I’ve noticed several recurring navigation and mopping issues that I hope can be improved with a firmware update.

There is a specific area of my kitchen that the robot consistently avoids, even though there are no obstacles there and the floor is fully accessible. It repeatedly goes around this area instead of cleaning it.

I’ve also noticed an issue with rugs. If a rug was previously in a certain spot and I move or remove it before cleaning, the robot still does not mop the exposed floor where the rug used to be. It will vacuum that area, but it skips mopping it, as if it still thinks the rug is there. I would expect the robot to detect in real time whether a rug is actually present.

Another issue is the cleaning path. The robot often goes over the same areas multiple times unnecessarily and moves around the room in a very inefficient way. Instead of cleaning in a logical, systematic pattern, it sometimes makes unnecessary turns, repeats already-cleaned sections, and takes much longer routes than needed.

These issues have happened repeatedly, not just during one cleaning cycle. I really like the Saros 10R otherwise, so I hope Roborock can improve the navigation, cleaning-path efficiency, and real-time carpet detection in a future firmware update.

### 3/5 — Works OK

*2026-08-17, version 4.70.02*

This app has a lot of rooms to improve. 
1. It doesn't give the user the option to set a default mode for each room. Since I usually want vac only for my wood floor, I have to change the mode every time I start a new cleaning job.
2. When the robot finishes a job, it doesn't seem to be able to find an efficient path to the dock. And it doesn't remember the better path it took in the previous job.
3. I have two floors in the house so I created two maps. However it doesn't give the option to pick the map when start a new job. The user has to go to the map management first, then switch the floor map. That's too awkward. 
Hope Roborock makes the app more user friendly in future software/firmware updates.

### 3/5 — Map issue

*2026-08-15, version 4.70.02*

Room names are constantly reset. I regularly have to apply the names

### 1/5 — Requires precise location

*2026-08-15, version 4.70.02*

App incorrectly claims precise location is required to setup vacuum network. That is a lie, no smart vacuum requires that. Nothing more than a blatant data grab and invasion of privacy.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2026-08-14, version 4.70.02*

Don’t waste your time on this robotic vacuum. Turns into a brick less than a year. Roborock support is worth worthless, the app is useless and connecting to Wi-Fi to troubleshoot as well without connecting to to a third-party website out of Beijing China. If you have an apple iPhone or a PC that website is a malicious website. Which is flagged by multiple virus, scanners and software companies. Buy another vacuum..

### 2/5 — Vacuum is good, app is not

*2026-08-14, version 4.70.02*

The vacuum its self does a great job…  when I can control it from the app. From time to time, the app gets stuck on the Home Screen and looks as if the robot is cleaning but it is sitting in the dock. If you click “enter,” it flashes to the screen momentarily and then goes back to the Home Screen as if the robot is cleaning. Again, it is not. It will be on the dock charging. I cannot get it to start cleaning, clean a specific zone, or room when it does this. Highly frustrating.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Setting up routines is a pain

*2026-08-26, version 4.70.02*

App is poorly designed. Hard to set up routines and it’s not very intuitive.  Struggle for ages every time I want to adjust a routine. I’m in IT so it’s not like I’m lacking technology skills.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2026-08-25, version 4.70.02*

We had high hopes based on other reviews but it just doesn’t clean as well as other brands we’ve had.

### 1/5 — Run.. Fast

*2026-08-21, version 4.70.02*

Vaccum forgot all the no go zones and settings out if the blue. Spends most of its time looking for the dock. Run time is like 12 minuets.. Charging is also slow so to cover 1 floor (600 sqft) it takes over 4 hours to finish. You'd think after 2 decades someone has figured a way to do this.
Stay away. If you must try a robot vaccum, don't go crazy and just buy a non-brand from Amazon.

### 1/5 — Wifi disconnects

*2026-08-20, version 4.70.02*

Great robot vac unfortunately the app lets it down, nearly every time I go to use it I have to manually reconnect never remembers for long, only wifi device that gives me trouble.

### 1/5 — Keeps going off line

*2026-08-19, version 4.70.02*

Works great but this is annoying.

### 1/5 — Roborock app

*2026-08-18, version 4.70.02*

Roborock is terrible, only one word “ suck” can describe it.

### 1/5 — S7 keeps losing connection

*2026-08-18, version 4.70.02*

Since updating the Roborock software on my iPhone to version 4.70.02 the vacuum keeps losing its connection to Wifi and hasn’t been cleaning the floor.

### 1/5 — Ipad app already

*2026-08-18, version 4.70.02*

I don’t understand how they can’t have an iPad app if you’re looking to manage robots for your home or yard being able to edit maps on a larger format screen as much easier than an iPhone screen

### 1/5 — No Siri commands for iPhone Users do not work

*2026-08-16, version 4.70.02*

Paramater error for Months on model Q10 S5+

### 1/5 — Bricked after update

*2026-08-16, version 4.70.02*

And customer service just told me to get lost - not their problem contact vendor 25 m after purchase. Never again

Best purchase ever!!!

### 5/5 — Roborok Vacuum and mop

*2026-08-20, version 4.70.02*

It’s Excellent Vaccum & Mop , it cleans very easily and nicely, I love it so much ♥️♥️♥️

### 5/5 — I wish I ordered this thing years ago

*2026-08-20, version 4.70.02*

I’ve seen some social media peeps raving about this vacuum. It is “expensive” so it took myself awhile to splurge- I wish I didn’t take so long. Every morning I wake up and my floors look better than ever. It frees up my limited time to focus on something else like the dishes or laundry. 10/10 recommend. I have nothing negative to say.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2026-08-20, version 4.70.02*

It’s because this is the best ap

### 5/5 — RoboMop

*2026-08-19, version 4.70.02*

Absolutely love this thing and happy I invested in it. I was a little skeptical, but it worked out very well. Have tons of marble floors in are new home and needed something to run on a daily basis to get the everyday dust while I purchased a battery powered mop and vacuum to tag team with it. Only thing missing is the back massage feature but I guess I can live without that. Definitely works well and was super easy to setup and get going right away. Might buy one for the second floor!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-19, version 4.70.02*

I love this little machine. It makes me feel like we have a cleaner. I don’t think anyone has to wonder if this product is good or not because without a doubt I would buy it over and over again.

### 5/5 — Does a good job.

*2026-08-18, version 4.70.02*

I purchased this months ago and finally set it up.
I put it in the basement , where I don’t spend much time.
It was easy to set up, and keeps the floors clean and dust free.

### 5/5 — Roborock

*2026-08-18, version 4.70.02*

A very good vacuum/ mop robot. Really worth it a lot of help around the house

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-16, version 4.70.02*

I absolutely love my robot Vac/Mop.   Little learning curve but gets easier each use.  So nice not having to vacuum or Mop anymore. 😆

### 5/5 — BAMF

*2026-08-15, version 4.70.02*

Not once as he complained about doing the hoovering and moping 👍👍
A true grafter
