The eufy S1 Pro Cleans Better Than You. Here’s How.

While CES 2025 is bringing us robot vacuums that can now pick up socks and toys, the eufy S1 Pro is currently my favorite.

Roborock’s Saros Z70 Grabs Socks So You Don’t Have To

Roborock is taking robot vacuums to the next level with its new flagship model, the Saros Z70, unveiled at CES 2025. This isn’t just a dust-and-dirt remover—it has a foldable robotic arm, dubbed the "OmniGrip," that can pick up small objects like socks, dog toys, and even light sandals, saving you from pre-cleaning chores.

Why it’s a game-changer:

• Smart object handling: The OmniGrip arm, with its five-axis design, can lift objects under 300 grams and put them away in designated spots. It even marks objects to circle back for them after cleaning the floor underneath.

• AI precision: Using sensors, a camera, and an LED light, the Saros Z70 determines whether an object is movable and adjusts accordingly.

• Customizable control: Activate the arm and set object-handling preferences via the Roborock app, which also lets you assign drop-off zones.

Roborock isn’t stopping there. Alongside the Saros Z70, it unveiled a lineup of handheld wet-dry vacuums and washer-dryers, showing its commitment to innovative home cleaning solutions. Expect the Saros Z70 to hit shelves later this year.
