Roborock’s new robot vacuum cleaner can also climb stairs

Within the scope of IFA 2026, Roborock introduced new cleaning products that can be used in different areas from home to garden and pool. The company’s announcements include the Saros Rover, Saros 20 Flow Complete and Saros 20 Neo robot vacuum cleaners, as well as the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 and F25 Pro Turbo Combo upright vacuum cleaners. While the product range extends outside the home, the RockNeo Q2 LiDAR robot lawn mower and the RockAqua P1 pool cleaning robot are also among the models on display. Particularly shown for the first time at CES 2026, Saros Rover offers a different solution to the obstacles that standard robot vacuum cleaners have difficulty in overcoming, with its extendable wheel and leg structure. Roborock did not announce the prices of the new products before IFA.

Saros Rover is one of the most striking examples of Roborock’s efforts to improve mobility in robot vacuum cleaners. The model’s extendable wheels help it pass over small obstacles and also enable it to move on stairs. Saros 20 Flow Complete and Saros 20 Neo combine both sweeping and mopping functions in a single device. Both models feature navigation technologies that enable easier crossing of double-layer floor thresholds. This feature could make the robot require less user intervention, especially in homes with high thresholds or floor level changes between different rooms.

Roborock IFA 2026 products extend beyond the home

Roborock’s IFA 2026 announcements are not limited to robot vacuum cleaners. The new F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2, as its name suggests, highlights the steam cleaning feature. The vertical vacuum cleaner preheats the water in its chamber when cleaning is started and can provide constant steam at 180 degrees Celsius in approximately 30 seconds. In addition, the device can detect the type of ground it is on and automatically adjust its operating mode without the need for user intervention. F25 Pro Turbo Combo, on the other hand, offers a more flexible structure that can be used on different surfaces without adhering to a single cleaning style, thanks to its removable drive module and different brush heads.

RockNeo Q2 LiDAR, one of the products prepared by the company for outdoor use, is in the robot lawn mowers category. Offering water resistance at IPX6 level, the device can work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home systems. LiDAR-based navigation technology is used to map the environment and move the robot around the garden. According to the information provided by Roborock, RockNeo Q2 can work in areas with a slope of up to 45 percent and can move through narrow passages only 60 centimeters wide. These values ​​can expand the robot’s usage area in gardens with different slopes and narrow sections; However, actual performance can be expected to vary depending on the surface structure of the garden and environmental conditions.

RockAqua P1 brings Roborock’s automatic cleaning approach to swimming pools. The pool cleaning robot offers an effective working time of up to 3.5 hours on a single charge. The smart motor system in the device can adjust energy consumption according to the condition of the pool and the amount of dirt it encounters. In this way, instead of using the same power level constantly, a working order that changes according to needs is created. Especially in larger pools, operating time and energy management may be decisive in terms of daily use, although it will be necessary to see the performance results in different pool conditions to evaluate the actual cleaning capacity of the product.

Roborock did not share the prices of the new products before IFA 2026 and did not give a definitive calendar for all models regarding sales plans in the USA. The company states that it will continue to make its products available in the USA on different dates as in the past. Saros 20 Neo in this country Qrevo Edge 3 Pro While it is planned to be sold under the name Saros 20 Flow Complete, it is expected to be available in October. For now, it is only stated that the availability of RockNeo Q2 and RockAqua P1 in the USA will be confirmed later. According to the information provided in the source, Roborock did not directly evaluate the FCC ban regarding foreign-made advanced robotic devices; For this reason, the situation of garden and pool robots in the US market is not yet clear.

Products shown at IFA 2026 reveal that Roborock is also working on vertical cleaning devices, lawn mowers and pool robots, as well as the classic robot vacuum form. Saros Rover’s mechanical structure for overcoming obstacles and stairs stands out as the most technically extraordinary solution among the new models. While F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 focuses on hard floor cleaning with its high-temperature steam feature, RockNeo Q2 and RockAqua P1 aim to automate maintenance work outside the home. However, the prices have not been announced yet, making it difficult to compare the products with existing options in terms of price-performance. The fact that the sales situation for some models in the USA remains uncertain indicates that the products Roborock exhibited at IFA 2026 will not be available in all markets at the same time.
