Roborock is a Chinese robotics company that has become the technology leader in robot vacuums and mops. Originally a Xiaomi ecosystem partner, Roborock now operates independently with a full range of premium robot vacuums featuring LiDAR navigation, powerful suction, and advanced mopping systems. It is widely considered the best-in-class robot vacuum manufacturer.
Roborock has ascended to the top of the robot vacuum market through consistent technological innovation. Its flagship models regularly win comparison reviews against iRobot, Ecovacs, and Shark. Roborock competes at the premium end while offering better value than iRobot, and faces competition primarily from Ecovacs and Dreame at similar price points.
