Dreame X60 Max Ultra vs Roborock Saros 20
Both of these flagships hover around 35,000–36,000 Pa of suction, so ignore that number — it's effectively a tie and won't decide anything. The real differences are more interesting. The Roborock Saros 20's AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0 lets it climb double thresholds up to 3.46 inches — stepping between rooms and over raised transitions that strand most robots — while the Dreame X60 tops out around 2 inches. The Saros is also the only flagship in this price range with Matter support, which makes it the only one of the two that works with Apple Home. The Dreame answers where cleaning is measured: it earned a rare 100% score in flattened pet-hair pickup in independent Vacuum Wars testing, runs about 5 dB quieter in standard mode (~55 dB vs ~60), and pairs dual heated spinning mop pads with 15 N of downward pressure. The trade-off is software — reviewers consistently flag the Dreame app as cluttered, where Roborock's is fast and forgiving. Both sit just over 3 inches tall with retractable LiDAR to slip under furniture. Here's how to choose.

Final verdict
Choose the Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete for the best raw cleaning — it's the better vacuum for pet hair, the quieter housemate (~5 dB lower in standard mode), and the stronger mopper, and it usually costs a little less. Choose the Roborock Saros 20 if your home has high thresholds, split-level transitions, or thick rugs that its 3.46-inch climbing chassis can conquer, if you live in Apple Home and need Matter, or if a clean, reliable app matters to you. For most homes the Dreame cleans better for the money; for tricky layouts and Apple households, the Saros earns its premium.
