Buying guide
Choose a robot vacuum that actually suits your home.
Floor types, furniture clearance, thresholds and ongoing support can matter just as much as advertised suction power. Use this guide to identify what to check before you buy.
Start with the three checks
Floor and furniture clearance
Rug pile, cables, dark floors and the gap under a sofa decide more than a pascal number. A robot that is 80 mm tall is useless under a 70 mm sofa.
Thresholds and navigation
Suction does not tell you whether the robot will cross a timber track or stay out of a pet bowl. Look at climb and mapping, then walk the doorways.
Parts and support
Brushes, filters and a battery are the second year of ownership. Australian Consumer Law covers a faulty robot we sell. The app needs your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for the Z70.
Measure
The gap under the sofa
Measure the clear opening, not the sofa height on paper. The Saros Z70 body is 79.8 mm. A few millimetres of spare room is not a guarantee: pile, cables and a dipping frame still matter.
- Clearance beneath sofas and cabinets
- Height of room-to-room tracks
- Rug thickness and loose edges
- Cables and pet bowls
- A hard-floor spot for the dock
What the numbers mean
Z70 suction
22,000 Pa
A laboratory suction rating. It is not a score for your hallway.
Z70 height
7.98 cm
The body height. Compare it with the gap you measured.
X50 Ultra
20,000 Pa
Paired with ProLeap for thresholds and a mop that swings to the edge.
Before you pay
- Replacement brushes and filters are a running cost, not a surprise.
- The Z70 joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only.
- Delivery is free to Australian street addresses and is already in the price.
- A faulty robot is covered by the Australian Consumer Law.
