Why are there so many Roborock names?
Each family gets yearly refreshes and retailer variants. Ignore the suffixes at first: decide Saros, Qrevo or Q, then compare the two or three current models in that family.

What buyers actually worry about
The questions people ask before they buy, with a straight answer and the robot or fix that handles each one.
Do Roborock parts fit across models?
Not reliably. The kits in our data were sold for specific families, and one Qrevo S kit warns it doesn’t fit the original Q Revo.
Which bags fit my Roborock dock?
Bags are made for specific docks. The six-pack in our data lists the Q7 M5+, Q10 S5+, Q5 Max+ and S8+; check the model name under your dock’s lid before you order.
Fix: Dock bags
Should I wait for the Roborock with an arm?
For most homes, no. In Vacuum Wars’ testing the Saros Z70’s arm worked about half the time, and it launched at $2,599.
