“Why isn’t Roborock available as a lawn mower?” It was a topic of discussion on Reddit a year ago. Guess the vacuum cleaner manufacturing company read the thread and realized the potential of venturing into the lawn mower market. Consequently, today at IFA, Roborock unveiled a trio of lawn mowers, dubbed RockMow Z1, RockMow S1, and RockNeo Q1, with Z1 being the star of the show.
The RockMow Z1 features an all-wheel drive system to handle steep slopes of up to 38.66 degrees. To ensure safety and security, the lawn mower is capable of hopping over obstacles as high as 6 centimeters (2.3 inches). Each wheel has its own motor and a fancy suspension system, so it stays steady on bumpy terrain.
On the technological front, the Z1 uses a mix of high-tech navigation tools, like Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning and Visual SLAM, a tech we have seen Lymow use for its lawn mowers. Both RTK positioning and Visual SLAM help map out your yard with pinpoint accuracy, even in tricky spots like under trees or in tight corners.
As reported by ZDNET, Roborock cuts 5,000 square meters per 24 hours. It can trim grass right up to 3 centimeters (1.1 inches) from walls, leaving your lawn looking crisp. The RockMow Z1 also boasts the capability to cut specific patterns or designs. This is possible courtesy of an accompanying app that allows users to customize their lawn designs.
While RockMow S1 and RockNeo Q1 didn’t get as much attention, they’re designed to cover a range of lawn sizes and budgets. Roborock’s clearly betting big on making lawn care as hands-off as its indoor cleaning gadgets.
Roborock’s new Saros 10 and Saros 10R robot vacuums are also turning heads at the event with their super-slim design. At 3.14 inches high, these things can slide under furniture that other vacuums can only dream of reaching. Roborock didn’t skimp on power for the sake of size, though. The Saros 10 series packs the same smart navigation and suction strength you’d expect from the heftier models, making them a great pick for anyone who wants a robot vacuum that is as nimble as it is effective.
Details on the differences between the Saros 10 and 10R are still a bit sparse, but expect the 10R to come with a few extra bells and whistles, possibly a self-emptying dock. Roborock also showed off new stick vacuums that promise to keep up with its reputation for powerful, user-friendly cleaning. While specifics on these models are still under wraps, they’re likely to build on Roborock’s knack for combining strong suction with lightweight designs, perfect for quick cleanups or deep dives into hard-to-reach corners.
Another highlight among Roborock’s elite lineup of products was its new self-sanitizing wet and dry vacuum. Dubbed F25 Ultra, the stick vacuum offers steam and hot water cleaning modes to tackle tough and oily spills with minimal elbow grease. F25 Ultra is also designed to handle both wet spills and dry messes, then sanitize its own system to stay fresh and ready for the next job. For anyone tired of scrubbing out their vacuum after a messy cleanup, this could be a lifesaver.
Pricing and release dates of the lawn mowers and upgraded vacuum cleaners are still under wraps, but if Roborock’s track record is anything to go by, these products may hit the market soon.
