Dreme Cyber ​​​​10 Ultra vs. Roborock Saros Z70: Comparison of features of robotic arms

Of all the new robotics booths coming out at CES 2026, Dreme probably has the most unique bunch. The two new Dreme models available now, the Aqua10 Ultra Roller from August and the X60 Max Ultra which is open for pre-order, offer an exciting but expected upgrade in the cleaning power department. But we were also officially introduced to the Dreme Cyber ​​​​10 Ultra: a fully realized version of Dreme’s robot vacuum with an arm was first teased at CES 2025. It will go on sale later this year.

A robotic vacuum with an arm has already been developed. What we haven’t seen before is a robot extractor with an arm that works really well. While Dreme was still in the prototype stage last year at CES, Roborock officially unveiled the Saros Z70, which hit shelves in March. While the claw machine arm was popular at first, the Saros Z70 ended up being irrelevant. The list of things that can be taken was extended to slippers and socks, and even there, none of them saw a strong success rate when I tested the Saros Z70 at home. When the Saros Z70 picked something up, it was only after driving around aimlessly or staring blankly at the object for a few minutes. And let me tell you: The wow factor of the arm wears off quickly when you think about how you could pick it up and put it back in place in half the time it took you to vacuum.

The Dreme Cyber ​​10 Ultra should beat the Roborock Saros Z70

With those flaws in mind, the Dreme Cyber ​​​​10 Ultra has a clear way to surpass the Roborock Saros Z70. The first promising difference in specs is the Cyber ​​10 Ultra’s arm strength: It can pick up objects as heavy as 500 grams (just over one pound) compared to the Saros Z70’s 300-gram limit. At first glance, the Dreme arm already looks stronger than the Saros Z70 skeleton.

The range of things that the Cyber ​​​​10 Ultra can handle is not clear yet, but if Dreame doesn’t come to play, pet toys and children’s toys should be at the top of the “yes” list.

At Dreame’s CES demo, Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth got photos of the Cyber ​​10 Ultra successfully picking up a small rubber ball. It was so slow that I kept thinking the video was creepy, but it worked. Hopefully, that snow speed can account for some last-minute bugs, and that it’s quickly ironed out by the time it’s officially released to the public.

Dreame’s foldable arm can also pick up brush attachments and vacuum nozzles from its dock and use them to clean tricky places a robot vacuum can’t reach, like narrow spaces behind furniture. (This wasn’t part of the CES demo.) Dreame calls it “automated tool technology,” saying the Cyber ​​10 Ultra will be able to “take out and use human-like tools and use them with robotic perfection.” I picture the goal as something that can replace a portable vacuum attachment. If it actually works as described, this could make the decision between a robot vacuum and a cordless stick vacuum a lot easier. But that’s a big “if.”

Apart from the arm capabilities, the Dreme Cyber ​​​​10 Ultra will be a more powerful vacuum than the Roborock Saros Z70. The Cyber ​​​​10 Ultra’s 30,000 Pa of tensile strength exceeds the 22,000 Pa of the Saros Z70, although 22,000 Pa was amazing last year at this time. For reference, the new Dreme X60 Max Ultra and Roborock Saros 20 models clean at 35,000 Pa, while 30,000 Pa is similar to the cleaning power of the new Narwal Flow 2 and Eufy Omni S2. Both mops have dual rotating pads and can wash and dry those pads in the base station.

If Dreme’s arm isn’t as helpful as the Saros Z70’s were, I’d definitely be telling everyone to just go for one of those high performance premium robot vacuum and mop combos instead. We don’t know how much the Dreme Cyber ​​10 Ultra will cost, but it will cost more than the Dreme X60 Max Ultra’s $1,699.99 price tag. The Roborock Saros Z70 was originally released for a ridiculous $2,599.99, but has dropped to $1,299.99. Dream would be wise to keep the Cyber ​​10 Ultra under $2,000.

Vacuum stair climbing robots will probably take over CES 2027

Dream and Roborock are also in a race to see who can officially clear the entryway for the first robot that can climb stairs — stairs as in real stairs with steps up to 10 inches long, not just small thresholds or floor transitions. Both of these products teased their concept at CES 2026: Dreme Cyber ​​X (not to be confused with Cyber ​​10 Ultra) and Roborock Saros Rover. Eufy MarsWalker is also in the mix. We don’t have much wisdom from their releases in the past that they exist, but CES 2027 seems to be the most likely bet.
