RRmason11.0, unique to Roborock P10S Pro, introduces the AI worry-free mode, an exclusive feature absent in the P10 Pro. In this mode, no manual settings are required from the user, making it truly “out of the box.”
It intelligently identifies room types, floor materials, and more, generating cleaning parameters and planning the sequence, adjusting suction, water volume, and route preference. On the flip side, sweeping, mopping, sweeping, and customizing modes on the P10 Pro need manual settings for the desired cleaning effect.
If the cleaning isn’t satisfactory, the user has to adjust parameters, making the experience less than ideal manually. With AI worry-free mode, this issue is eradicated. With just one click, it automatically detects heavily soiled areas, mopping them a second time for a thorough clean. Additionally, it introduces pet mode 3.0, allowing users to designate areas for increased suction, ideal for tackling pet litter and hair.
Video Function
The Roborock P10S Pro features an RGB camera and microphone, enabling remote video calls and two-way voice communication. Particularly beneficial for homes with elderly individuals, children, and pets, providing a means to observe home situations even when no one is present. Through this feature, users can initiate pet capture and utilize the one-click pet search function, enhancing interaction with adorable pets.
Base Station Experience
After completing cleaning, the P10S Pro autonomously assesses the dirt level and intelligently washes, requiring no user intervention. Throughout this process, the base’s bottom plate continuously emits 45-degree hot air (optionally up to 60 degrees) for a default drying time of 3 hours.
This not only dries the mop and sweeper but also cleans the base station, achieving a remarkable 99.7% hot water washing and sterilization efficiency. Transition: Consequently, issues such as mold and odor are significantly reduced, ensuring a cleaner and more sanitized environment.
Experience with the Cleaning Effect
This all-around cleaning marvel introduces innovative “double arms” for more efficient and thorough cleaning.
As illustrated in the comparison chart above, the Roborock self-cleaning sweeping and mopping robot P10S Pro employs telescopic mechanical arm brushes and dynamic mechanical arm mops simultaneously during the cleaning process. The powerful combination of these two sweeping arms enables direct cleaning of hard-to-reach corners.
Before and after the mechanical arms are opened, the corner cleaning coverage rate achieves 100%, with a corner mopping coverage rate of 98.8%. This ensures a comprehensive cleaning performance.
In this process, the side brush dynamically adjusts its speed. When moving along the wall, it rotates at 330 rpm to sweep edge garbage toward the main brush area. In larger areas or when facing obstacles, it switches to a low-speed rotation of 130 rpm per minute to prevent flying garbage and navigate around obstacles seamlessly.
When cleaning in low-light conditions, the RGB camera on the front captures changes in external light. If insufficient light is detected, the robot activates the fill light to ensure optimal functioning in dark environments.
Cleaning Effectiveness
Now, let’s test the cleaning capabilities of the mechanical arms, focusing on the edges of the wall. As the Roborock mopping robot P10S Pro approaches a wall, it extends its arms to efficiently clear out debris.
