CES is understood for splashy TV and laptop launches, however in 2025, there have been quite a lot of corporations making an attempt to make waves with robotic vacuums, too. After years the place it appeared like vacuuming, mopping, and self-emptying could be the height of a robotic vacuum’s talents, this yr’s present launched residence robots with complete new performance — and appendages.
Right here’s the robotic vacuums that caught our eye at CES 2025, lots of which you may invite to scrub your lounge later this yr.
Roborock Saros Z70
Roborock’s flagship vacuum for 2025 is the Roborock Saros Z70, a round robotic vacuum on the skin, that hides a retractable “OmniGrip” arm that may decide up and transfer objects on the within. The arm is able to 5 axis motion and is barely in a position to carry round 300 grams, which makes it higher at shifting garments and cables than something really heavy. Roborock claims the Saros Z70’s precision sensors, LEDs, and digital camera will have the ability to determine 108 objects that it might transfer or keep away from, with the flexibility to be taught as much as 50 customized objects, too.
The one lacking items are a value and launch date. Roborock plans to begin promoting the Roborock Saros Z70 later this yr, however hasn’t shared what the worth of the brand new robotic shall be. It’d prove {that a} robotic arms do not come low cost.
Dreame X50 Extremely
Dreame is one in all Roborock’s rivals, and it had its personal new flagship robotic vacuum at CES. Reasonably than an arm, the Dreame X50 Ultra has tiny wheeled legs for climbing (admittedly shallow) stairs. Dreame calls the characteristic its “ProLeap System” and it at present says that the X50 Extremely can deal with stairs which might be 6cm (round 2.4 inches) tall. That is quite a bit shorter than the typical family stairs, but it surely does nonetheless imply Dreame’s robotic vacuum can attain locations rivals cannot.
The Dreame X50 Extremely is offered to be reserved now for $39, which locks you in to a decrease $1310 value and secures an extended guarantee and free equipment. The robotic vacuum will formally go on sale on February 4 for $1700.
Eufy E20
Robotic vacuums are handy, however they don’t seem to be but nice at reaching each nook of your house, which often means it’s important to additionally personal some type of handheld vacuum. The Eufy E20 may eradicate that two-vacuum conundrum. It is a 3-in-1 robotic vacuum which you can program to scrub your home by itself, or come out its vacuum element and use as a stick or handheld vacuum for laborious to achieve spots.
The objective is proudly owning one vacuum that may adapt to your whole wants, whereas nonetheless providing the advantages of a robotic vacuum, like a base station for routinely dumping particles. It looks as if Eufy may need pulled it off, and at a comparatively reasonably priced value, too. The Eufy 3-in-1 E20 Vacuum shall be accessible on February 10 and begin at $550, with all of its equipment included.
Switchbot K20+ Professional
Swithcbot is understood for sensible residence equipment like robotic curtain movers and button pushers, however the firm has additionally been providing its personal reasonably priced robotic vacuum for the previous couple of years. The Switchbot K20+ Pro is its newest mannequin, but additionally an entire new strategy to mix the Switchbot merchandise you may already personal.
The K20+ Professional appears a bit like regular robotic vacuum, simply with a rolling platform mounted on high. It could maintain as much as 18 lbs and you’ll join Switchbot’s air air purifier, safety digital camera or fan to the highest and get a vacuum that doubles as a extra of a common residence robotic. Switchbot says it is also designed to be straightforward to mod if you wish to create your personal bizarre attachment to go on high. The K20+ Professional is certainly equal elements goofy and intelligent, but it surely nonetheless has loads of unknowns. There is not any value or launch date past later this yr. Switchbot plans to promote the K20+ Professional solo, and in bundles with among the appropriate equipment.
Dreame Retractable Arm Prototype
Roborock wasn’t alone in exhibiting off a robotic vacuum with an arm. Dreame’s unnamed prototype robotic vacuum is not able to go on sale, however does contains its personal claw-shaped arm for grabbing issues, and wheeled “legs” for getting over ledges just like the Dreame X50 Extremely.
It is not clear when this prototype will turn out to be an actual product or how a lot it’s going to price when it does, but it surely serves as a superb instance that if Roborock can pull off the Saros Z70, others will definitely comply with.
