Roborock’s IFA 2026 Lineup Includes New U.S. Models—and a Robot Vacuum That Cleans Stairs

Roborock has unveiled a wide-ranging group of cleaning products at IFA 2026 in Berlin, including new robot vacuums, wet-dry floor cleaners, a robotic pool cleaner, and a wire-free robotic lawn mower.

For U.S. shoppers, the most important announcements are the Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro, the Saros 20 Flow, and the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2. The Qrevo Edge 3 Pro, which is launching concurrently with IFA 2026, is the U.S. version of the model introduced internationally as the Saros 20 Neo. The Saros 20 Flow is expected to follow before October, while the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 is planned for a late-September U.S. launch.

Roborock also brought its wheel-legged Saros Rover to Europe for the first time. The unusual robot is designed to move between floors and clean individual stair steps, although Roborock has not yet announced pricing or a release date.

Saros 20 Neo Becomes the Qrevo Edge 3 Pro in the United States

Roborock is bringing the internationally announced Saros 20 Neo to the United States under a different name: the Roborock Qrevo Edge 3 Pro.

The robot’s headline specification is 36,000 Pa of official suction, supported by a dual anti-tangle system designed for pet hair and longer strands. Roborock is also emphasizing mobility. Its AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 is rated to cross double-layer thresholds as high as 8.8 cm, or about 3.5 inches.

Roborock lists the Qrevo Edge 3 Pro at approximately 3.14 inches tall. Its retractable navigation system allows it to reach beneath low furniture, and the company says slight compression in the front of the chassis can permit access down to 3.13 inches. Combined with its adaptive chassis, the low-profile design is intended to help the robot navigate tall room transitions while still reaching beneath furniture.

For mopping, the Qrevo Edge 3 Pro uses warm water and applies up to 14 Newtons of downward pressure. Roborock says its multifunction dock washes the mop with water heated to 100°C. The company also lists enough battery capacity to cover nearly 350 square meters—approximately 3,770 square feet—in one run.

Saros 20 Flow Brings a Self-Cleaning Roller Mop to the Flagship Line

The Roborock Saros 20 Flow Complete is another 36,000 Pa flagship, but its defining feature is the SpiraFlow 2.0 self-cleaning roller mop. The U.S. version is expected to arrive as the Saros 20 Flow before October, with additional market-specific details still to come.

According to Roborock, the roller rotates at 240 RPM, applies 15 Newtons of downward pressure, and uses 16 pressurized water outlets to rinse and wet the mop while it cleans. The system is intended to keep a fresher section of the roller in contact with the floor rather than repeatedly spreading collected residue.

Dual lifting arc-shaped side brushes are designed to extend cleaning coverage along edges. Roborock claims complete edge-sweeping coverage, while the dock adds automated detergent dispensing and pressurized mop washing at 100°C.

The Saros 20 Flow Complete has a listed height of 8.98 cm, or about 3.54 inches, and uses Roborock’s latest AdaptiLift platform to cross double-layer thresholds up to 8.8 cm. Roborock also says its AI system can recognize more than 300 categories of obstacles in both bright and dark rooms.

The combination of a continuously cleaned roller, a low-profile body, and an unusually high official threshold rating makes the Saros 20 Flow one of the most interesting products in the IFA announcement. Its actual mopping efficiency, carpet protection, obstacle avoidance, and mobility will need to be independently evaluated.

Saros Rover Returns With Wheel-Legs Designed for Stairs

The most visually unusual product in Roborock’s IFA display is the Saros Rover, making its European debut after its initial unveiling at CES.

Roborock describes it as the first robot vacuum built around a wheel-leg architecture. Instead of relying on conventional wheels fixed beneath a round chassis, the Rover can raise or lower each leg independently, perform small jumps, and adjust its body while moving across slopes and obstacles.

The larger goal is to overcome one of the most persistent limits of robot vacuums: stairs. Roborock says the Rover uses motion sensors and 3D spatial data to move between levels and clean individual stair steps. If commercialized successfully, that would extend autonomous cleaning beyond the single-floor environments where robot vacuums normally operate.

Vacuum Wars saw the Rover in action at CES 2026 in the US earlier this year.

Top 20 Best Robot Vacuums

F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 Is Headed to the U.S. in Late September

Roborock’s primary U.S.-bound wet-dry floor cleaner is the F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2, planned to launch in late-September 2026.

The new model’s Turbo Steam Mode is rated to produce up to 2.5 times the steam volume of the previous generation. Roborock says it can begin producing stable 180°C—or 356°F—steam in approximately 30 seconds, with the goal of loosening dried stains and greasy residue on hard floors.

The machine automatically adjusts its cleaning power for different floor conditions and has a lay-flat design for reaching underneath furniture. Its SensEdge robotic arm moves along walls and baseboards to support what Roborock calls zero-millimeter, triple-edge cleaning.

An automated cleaning and drying cycle is intended to prepare the roller for its next use and help control odors.

F25 Pro Turbo Combo Combines a Wet-Dry Cleaner and Cordless Vacuum

Roborock also introduced the F25 Pro Turbo Combo, an upgraded five-in-one system that can function as both a wet-dry floor cleaner and a cordless vacuum.

A detachable powered module works with interchangeable cleaning heads, allowing the system to move from washing hard floors to vacuuming carpets, upholstery, and above-floor areas. Its HyperScrub mode increases water flow, scrubbing action, and suction for more difficult messes.

Roborock lists suction at up to 25,000 Pa. SlideTech 2.0 powered wheels are intended to assist forward and backward movement, while the JawScrapers brush design is meant to reduce hair wrapping around the roller.

The company has not provided U.S. availability for the F25 Pro Turbo Combo.

Roborock Expands Outside the Home With Pool and Lawn Robots

IFA 2026 also marks Roborock’s expansion into two new outdoor categories, although neither product currently has confirmed U.S. availability.

The RockAqua P1 is Roborock’s first robotic pool cleaner. It is designed to clean pool floors, walls, waterlines, and shallow platforms down to 15 cm, or about six inches. Roborock lists 6,800 gallons-per-hour suction, a four-liter debris basket with dual filtration, and up to 3.5 hours of runtime. A monocular camera supports obstacle avoidance, while dynamic dirt detection and automatic waterline parking are intended to improve coverage and retrieval.

The RockNeo Q2 LiDAR is a boundary-wire-free robotic lawn mower rated for areas up to 800 square meters, or about 8,600 square feet. It combines Roborock’s Sentisphere LiDAR environmental sensing with camera-based ReactiVision Fusion obstacle avoidance. A floating cutting deck follows changes in the terrain, while the PreciEdge module is designed to cut within three centimeters of lawn boundaries.

Selected Products Receive ECARF Allergy-Friendly Certification

Roborock also announced that selected products in the new lineup have received “Allergy Friendly” certification from the nonprofit European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF). The company identifies the Saros 20 Flow Complete, Saros 20 Neo, and F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 among the certified products.

ECARF says products receive its seal after audits or studies demonstrate that they meet criteria developed by an independent panel of scientists and technical experts. This third-party certification is separate from Vacuum Wars’ own filtration and cleaning evaluations.

Vacuum Wars’ Initial Take

Roborock’s IFA 2026 presentation extends well beyond a typical robot vacuum launch. Alongside new floorcare products headed to the United States, the company is expanding into robotic pool cleaning and lawn care. Roborock’s flagship models frequently appear on our Top 20 Robot Vacuums and Best Vacuum Mop Combo lists, supported by strong performance in our evaluations and the company’s history of introducing ambitious new features.

For U.S. buyers, the Qrevo Edge 3 Pro is the first product to watch because it is expected to become available immediately around IFA. Its combination of a low profile, high claimed threshold capability, and upgraded mopping system targets several practical limitations that still affect premium robot vacuums.

The Saros 20 Flow may be the more technically interesting robot over the longer term. Self-cleaning roller mops have become an important direction in robot-mop design, and Roborock’s approach combines continuous water delivery with significant downward pressure and automated high-temperature dock washing.

The F25 Ultra Steam Gen 2 is also a notable U.S. launch, particularly because of its high-temperature steam system and relatively short claimed warm-up time. As always, manufacturer specifications do not establish real-world performance. Vacuum Wars will reserve conclusions until these products can be evaluated under consistent studio conditions.
