Frequently Asked Questions

5 questions

  1. The Saros 10 has 10,000 Pa suction and a rubber brush designed for pet hair, but its suction is moderate compared to premium robot vacuums. It works well on low-pile carpets and hard floors but may struggle on thick carpets or high volumes of pet hair. The Dyson V12 Detect's 230 Air Watts provides stronger suction specifically for pet hair, though it requires manual operation.
