"My favorite robovacs for vacuuming ability are any of the models in the Roborock S8 line. Every one of these vacuums very, very well. ... They both so significantly outperform our $1500 Saros 10R with 18500Pa of suction power in vacuuming ability, that I now only use our Saros 10R as a mop while the two S8s each vacuum half of our house. ... Any model of Roborock S8 has good dual counter rotating rollers and good airflow. ... I use a pair of base model, charging dock only S8s to do all of my vacuuming."
"and thick carpet, is great."
"Get a charging dock only Roborock S8 for its fantastic vacuuming ability on rugs and carpets for upstairs."

"I notice my floors are much cleaner than any of my friends. I don't own a mop or an indoor Broom."
"I found the auto cleaning of the mop pad between rooms to be very fast and efficient. ... Once the robot had completed a complete mopping session the pad was completely washed and dried to the touch ... My favourite function is the washing of mopping pad between rooms. ... You can also select how often the robot will return to the base and carry out a clean of the mopping pad meaning floors get a deeper clean."
"Just read through the reviews and now i'm leaning towards the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra as it seems the mopping is better, and we're all hardwood floors with muddy dog paws."

"I agree, the auto-empty feature is a game changer."
"I’ve had my S8 MaxV Ultra for a few months now and the self cleaning dock function works fantastically for me. ... Inspected it the other day to see if it needed to be cleaned and it was basically spotless, and I run the robot everyday."
"the main reason I went for it over the qrevo or another cheaper one is the auto refill station ... If you can manage the auto refill that is definitely the way to go."

"It adapts to new obstacles like a champ, and even when Kaya had a messy accident, it avoided the spot until I could clean up safely."
"The standout feature, undoubtedly, is its obstacle detection using the camera."
"It’s about wanting to clean the kitchen quickly and waiting ages because your Roomba is lost. ... Or starting a full clean and Roomba now thinks it’s a new house. ... Or just leaving debris in the corners. ... I was so furious with how Roomba made itself obsolete by its broken navigation (because it was easier to whip out my Dyson V8 than to wait for it, or help it when it got stuck going to the kitchen… there were no obstacles ) I upgraded to Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. ... Never going back to Roomba."

"It gets stuck on every single thing and finds ANYTHING it can to suck up and get disabled. ... It hasn't run a full cycle in months because of that. ... that stuff is worthless if it can't even do a single vacuume cycle without getting stuck."
"does alot worse at obstacle avoidance than the s7 maxv. ... It literally went backwards in that aspect."
"roborock has horrible obstacle avoidance, especially on carpet so they will eat cords, towels and socks so it's hard to run any of their vacuums on a schedule"

"In the first 11 months its front wheel broke ... then after 14 months its suddenly erroring out "Error 4 cliff sensors not clean" and goes in circles. ... Finally it stopped working."
"it stopped auto- emptying"
"they mentioned that its out of 12 month warranty and I have to bear the cost of repairs estimated to whopping 500-600 dollars. ... Whats the point of buying such an expensive product which barely works its warranty period."

"I just got mine yesterday and already working with support because it is failing to dock right out of the box. ... Too expensive for something so essential to its function not to work."
"they mentioned that its out of 12 month warranty and I have to bear the cost of repairs estimated to whopping 500-600 dollars. ... Whats the point of buying such an expensive product which barely works its warranty period."
"I still hate spending the money because it's not cheap and I don't make the kind of money that people who own these types of expenditures have"

"But I dislike the mopping system. It does a great job mopping, but the mechanism in the dock used to clean the mops it too complicated and needs far too much maintenance."
"It tends to get messy in the dock tray and the thing is hard to clean because it's not removable. ... If you can't stand your appliance being covered with residue, don't buy."
"Yep, I agree. The Qrevo dock is far easier to clean."

"the S8+ is absolutely awful for dog hair on carpets. ... it really cannot handle carpets. ... hate it every day."
"We have hardwood floors and rugs, and this robot seems to "sweep" all of the dirt and cat hair to the edges of all of the rugs for us to have to go and sweep up manually later."
"Neither the s8 or QRevo is great with longer dog hair ... It balls up the hair into little clods all over the carpet."
