CES 2026: Up to now, the most effective new robotic vacuums are from Roborock, Dreame, and Narwal

Table of Contents

LG and SwitchBot can promise chores-doing robots all they need, however robotic vacuums are nonetheless essentially the most sensible technique to automate a family activity by far. A handful of promising new robotic vacuums have been introduced at CES 2026 to date, they usually’re not attempting too onerous to be fancy like they had been in 2025. The emphasis is on extra vigorous cleansing energy and extra flawless navigation across the residence — the elements that really decide whether or not a robotic vacuum may be extra dependable than a handbook vacuum.

Below, I’m breaking down crucial vacuum information out of CES as of Jan. 7, from the most effective robotic vacuums introduced to intel about upcoming cordless vacuum improvements. Feel free to scroll leisurely or use the desk of contents to drop all the way down to a selected model.

Roborock

Roborock did not attempt to proper the wrongs of the Saros Z70’s wonky mechanical crane arm from final 12 months. Instead, the model centered on bettering the opposite already-great 2025 Saros robotic vacuums with the brand new Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic. Roborock additionally launched the Qrevo Curv Flow 2, its first curler mop robotic vacuum.

The “sonic” distinction between the Saros 20 and Saros 20 Sonic has to do with the mopping mechanism. The Saros 20 Sonic takes a threat by stepping away from spinning mopping pads and going again to Roborock’s VibraRise flat mopping pad system, however with a much-needed twist: sonic scrubbing alongside edges.

The vibrating mopping pad of the Saros 20 Sonic bodily extends out previous the spherical a part of the vacuum, cleansing as shut as zero millimeters in opposition to baseboards or furnishings legs. That degree of exact edge scrubbing is far of the rationale that the Roborock Saros 10R was my favourite robotic vacuum for many of 2025. If the Saros 20 Sonic’s extendable sonic mop is simply as meticulous because the Saros 10R’s hinged spinning mopping pad, it is an automated contender for finest robotic vacuum mop combo of 2026.

The Roborock Saros 20 affords the identical depraved 35,000 Pa suction energy that the Sonic mannequin does, however mops with twin rotating pads as an alternative. Both vacuums mechanically alter their chassis peak based mostly on flooring sort with a view to administer optimum airflow for particles pickup, together with a particular Deep Carpet Cleaning mode for plush carpets as much as 1.2 inches thick. Based on the discharge costs of final 12 months’s fashions, I may see the Saros 20 costing the identical $1,599.99 because the Saros 10 and 10R, and the Saros 20 Sonic costing $1,699.99 or $1,799.99.

The Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow additionally claims professional nook cleaner with a curler mop that mechanically pops out when a wall edge or nook is detected. Since it is Roborock’s first stab at a curler mop robotic vacuum, I’m curious to see the way it’ll evaluate to my experiences with curler mop fashions just like the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller or Eufy E28. Unfortunately, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow’s 20,000 Pa of suction energy is surprisingly low for a 2026 CES debut. At any fee, will probably be available for purchase beginning Jan. 19, with a gap promotional value of $849. After Feb. 1, the Qrevo Curv 2 Flow will value $999.

A official stairs-climbing robotic vacuum from Roborock has additionally been confirmed. The Saros Rover can be a two-wheel robotic vac that may increase and decrease independently of one another in a movement that mimics human strolling. It is formally in growth, however there isn’t any time-frame or value level speak as of now.

Narwal

Narwal staggered bulletins of the brand new variations of its two essential botvac sequence: The latest Narwal Freo got here out in September, and now, the Narwal Flow 2 is the flagship representing Narwal at CES 2026. The huge distinction is the curler mop.

Mashable Trend Report

It appears to be like like Narwal’s signature millennial grey is right here to remain, although the Flow 2’s gold accents and frosted glass panel do give it a extra premium look than the Freo Z10 Ultra. The Narwal Flow 2 can be the higher-end choose by way of cleansing energy: The Flow 2 is a sturdy curler mop robotic vacuum that scrubs with sizzling water and rinses itself mid-cleaning because the curler will get soiled. Water circulation and scrubbing time are decided in actual time because the Narwal assesses the kind of dust and mess degree in its cleansing path. The Flow 2’s 30,000 Pa of suction energy initially positions it as the higher alternative over the Roborock Qrevo Curv 2 Flow. If this Narwal finally ends up costing lower than $1,000, it is the brand new curler mop robotic vacuum to beat.

Narwal additionally launched “Family-First Scenario Modes,” like Pet Care Mode, which incorporates auto pet zone cleansing, discover my pet, and good pet video calling, and Baby Care Mode, the place the robotic mechanically switches to quiet mode close to the crib.

Dreame

Dreame already unveiled a piece of its new vacuum lineup in August, together with the flagship Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller. With 30,000 Pa of suction energy, that was essentially the most highly effective robotic vacuum mop combo in the marketplace for just a few months… till Dreame outdid itself with the X60 Max Ultra at CES. Like the Roborock Saros 20 fashions, the Dreame X60 Max Ultra has 35,000 Pa suction energy

But wait, that wasn’t the one robotic vacuum Dreame teased at CES 2026. This 12 months, it is Dreame — not Roborock — who’s attempting to make a robotic vacuum with an arm occur. The Dreame Cyber 10 Ultra and its CyberDex HyperFlex Arm made a short look at CES demos, the place it was apparently capable of efficiently choose up a ball. The arm’s whole weight restrict is 500 grams (simply over one pound), which ought to make it a extra worthwhile object picker-upper than the Roborock Saros Z70’s 300-gram max. Dreame calls the Cyber 10 Ultra the “first-ever robot vacuum with autonomous tool-utility technology, able to take out and use tools like a human and to execute with robotic perfection.”

Whatever meaning previous selecting up balls continues to be up within the air. We’ll discover out extra when Dreame offers extra data on its official launch. A official stairs-climbing Dreame vacuum, the Cyber X, can be within the works.

Cordless vacuums introduced at CES

If you belief stick vacuums greater than robotic vacuums, a number of new cordless stick vacuum choices additionally simply hit the scene at CES, together with a handful of cordless wet-dry vacuums. And none of them are Dyson — Dyson did announce a slew of latest vacuums at its Dyson Unveiled occasion in September, nevertheless it wasn’t current at CES 2026. And whereas we’re nonetheless ready on confirmed costs and launch dates for these new Dyson vacuums, different vacuum manufacturers simply made the competitors an entire lot nearer.

Roborock

Along with three new flagship robotic vacuums, Roborock additionally introduced the F25 Ace Pro. It’s an upscaled model of its present F25 Ace Combo wet-dry vacuum and self-washing station that now options Roborock’s JetFoaming expertise, stated to provide tens of millions of microbubbles to dissolve and raise stains higher than a typical squirt of liquid resolution. The F25 Ace Pro will retail for $699 after a short early fowl low cost to $549.99 between Jan. 19 and Jan. 30.

Dreame

Though Dreame introduced a couple of cordless vac with its August announcement, it did save its new Aero sequence cordless fashions for CES. There are two Aero iterations: the common Aero, a cordless wet-dry vacuum with a twin tank curler mop that forestalls cross contamination and a self-cleaning base, and the Aero Pro, with enhanced battery life over the Aero and 185-degree Fahrenheit sizzling water self-cleaning. Both characteristic a 180-degree hinge to put flat for cleansing underneath low-clearance furnishings.

Tineco

Surprisingly sufficient, Tineco is one well-liked vacuum model that hasn’t dabbled in robotic cleansing but. But the household of cordless cleaners debuted at CES appears fairly sturdy. The most unusual is the Tineco i7 Fold: It weighs lower than eight kilos (tremendous compact for a duo wet-dry vacuum) and might fold 180 levels flat to scrub hard-to-reach flooring underneath furnishings, which can sometimes have solely been accessed by a mopping robotic vacuum.

Tineco additionally debuted three variations of the brand new Floor One S9 sequence. The Floor One S9 Scientist is decked out with LED accents and daring lighting (“cyberpunk” was talked about within the press launch) and options good mess detection and high-temperature deep cleansing. The Floor One S9 Artist is aimed towards extra design-forward residing areas and options high-pressure angled water, a StreakFree Scraper, and a self-cleaning station that mechanically replenishes sizzling water and dries the mop. The Floor One S9 Master is being coined as Tineco’s highest degree of efficiency, full with a inexperienced dust-revealing headlight.

Narwal

Narwal does not simply wish to be a aggressive identify within the robotic vacuum house. The model’s CES unfold additionally included its first cordless vacuums, plus an fascinating cordless mattress deep cleaner. The Narwal V50 is a compact auto-emptying stick vacuum that weighs simply 3.1 kilos — about two kilos lighter than the Dyson V12 Detect Slim. The launch additionally teases an ultra-slim slim unnamed Narwal vac with double-headed inexperienced lights, resembling the upcoming Dyson Pencilvac.
