Saros 20 Sonic, after a week
I upgraded from an S8 Pro Ultra, which was a free replacement of an S7 MaxV. I also own an S6 MaxV and before that an S50, early days.
In our house the main roborock does about 2 hours a day, vacuuming and mopping every night, so you could say we are moderately heavy users.
After a week of use I noticed some good and some bad things.
Good:
- I like the new dock design, even though I miss the handles for the watertanks, I like the cleaner look.
- the Saros 20 during operation is noticeably quiter although the sounds is more high pitched
- auto dosing cleaner is a nice improvement
Bad:
- the high pitched sound travels further to other rooms so although the noise level is lower, you can hear it better, if that makes sense
- no included anti odor modules for waste tank or silver ion module
- would've liked a white top better on the robot itself
- flexi arm adds nothing, it never uses it?
Horrible:
- the routing is a major step down, takes much longer to clean a room and does weird things or avoids areas for no reason.
- still issues with furniture that have a crossbar design foot
All in all, I hope they solve the most issues with updates because at this point I cannot recommend the Saros 20 Sonic.
