Roborock - S8 Max Ultra

For hard floors and pets, the Narwal Freo X or the Roborock S8 Max Ultra are probably your best options. Both scrub really well and actually get into the edges. I have got pets and kids running around too so I know how important it is to have something that doesn’t turn into a maintenance headache. [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/KeepThisInMind/comments/1o1wp3o/best_robot_vacuum_cleaner_for_wood_floors_that/) helped me a lot , hopefully it helps you too.

As a parent with kids and pets, I totally understand your struggle and what exactly you need! For LVP floors and light rugs, something like the Roborock S8 Max Ultra or AIRROBO T20+ works great. They vacuum and mop at the same time, handle pet hair and with smart navigation you don’t have to babysit them constantly.

How far away does it land? Are we talking a foot or it could be anywhere. I dont think this is an object recognition issue. You need a "no go zone" around the pee pads, end of problem. Most robots have such good poop recognition now that they avoid too many objects, but this is the best way to deal w your problem, honestly. I wouldn't do the Saros 10, I'd grab the S8 Max Ultra, which went on sale today. The Saros is an incremental improvement over the S8, so if its not comfortably affordable, downshift to the S8.

I don't think that, it is absolutely better, featureset wise. The S5a is not the original Curv, which I could argue is as good/slightly better than the S8 MaxV Ultra. The Saros 10 is the next up in that line.

ThW s8 line from roborock is great.

I rolled my eyes at these things for years, but then fellow German Shepherd owners swore a robot vac would make dealing with the ENDLESS shedding easier. The RoboRock S8 Max Ultra they recommended was 50% off so I bought it. WOW. Rocky runs every evening and the house looks like I don’t even have a dog. The only other product that’s made my life this much better is a pair of 10yo Lowa hiking boots built on a female last.

I have two GSDs. All my floors are stained and sealed concrete. I currently have a Roborock S8 Max Ultra. I am happy with it. I can see the hair accumulation in a day when I was manually vacuuming. I have the bot on a schedule so it does different sections of the house during the day. The only time it’s down is when I need to do maintenance. Most of those tasks take about 5 min so I can get it back on its way ASAP. Previously, I had a lower model Roborock. However, the auto wash and refill on the Max Ultra is a game changer for my house. My favorite part of Roborock is the main brushes are rubber fins instead bristles. Cutting tangled hair out of a vacuum sucks. I don’t do that anymore. Before all this I had an Ecovac model. Great cleaning power but it regularly got lost, reset the map, couldn’t find the base, and then stopped charging correctly. I got fed up with it and returned it. Costco came in clutch for that because that vac was just not worth the money.

I have the S8 Max Ultra with plumbing hookup and it's awesome. Super reliable, does exactly what I want.

I recommend the Roborock S8 MAX Ultra. It is the reliability king. The navigation is flawless, so it rarely gets stuck while you're out. It's expensive, but it buys you legitimate 'set it forget it' peace of mind

I have both Qrevo and S8. They have completely different self cleaning mechanisms. Qrevo is way easier to clean than S8 ultra max. Less parts to clean and possibly getting stuck . However Qrevo is much taller. That’s something to consider.

The S8 Max Ultra is the same as the S8 MaxV Ultra, except that they removed the front-facing camera. It was intended for privacy-minded folks. This takes away the remote camera features, and makes obstacle avoidance worse. $400 is a really good price for it. I wouldn't recommend it at its regular price (over $1000), as there are better and newer systems for cheaper. The S8 was Roborock's flagship line before this year, so the quality is good. My main concern with Mova is the issue they've had with broken swivel wheels. In some cases, people have reported that the wheel was broken from the factory. Replacing the wheel involves taking the robot apart, and that's assuming you can get a decent replacement. Mova support seems to be in line with the support from the other Chinese vendors, which is to say it isn't great; this isn't much different from Roborock, but you're much less likely to need it with the S8. Feedback is also mixed about its navigation. I'd watch a few review videos to see for yourself before pulling the trigger, if you do decide to return the S8.

I have 4 cats (3 devons 1 oriental) and a roborock s8 ultra max. I am so impressed with it. Only thing i don't have it doing is mopping in the small room where we have the litter boxes. It will miss some litter when vaccing and wet litter leaves streaky floor. But other than that it's damn near perfect
