"I agree, the auto-empty feature is a game changer."
"Hook that sucker up to your plumbing and you'll never have to bother with refilling and draining the mopping bins. ... It's fantastic."
"Not a shill for the company, but am happy with my Roborock S8 with only the self vaccuum emptying docking station. The pros are everything listed above. ... with/without self emptying docking station (highly recommend with self emptying)"

"After walking them in rainy or muddy weather, having a robo mop take care of the mess is a real help. ... Without the robot we would need to spend a ton more time mopping. ... the convenienve of not needing to mop the house after you worked for a full day is worth it to us. ... So, 30 minutes for 7 days a week comes down to 3.5 hours of mopping saved. ... if it is rainy/muddy outside, they carry a lot of dirt into the house. ... the mopping robot makes a lot of sense and is a real help."
"VibraRise works ... especially if you spray some floor cleaning solution on the mop before installing it, it works wonders!"
"it returns to wash the mop head anytime it senses the mop is dirty and every time it docks (thus the need for the water line and waste line plumbing), I thought this would solve my problem -- and it has!!"

"On top of that, you get a great app, excellent navigation and good obstacle avoidance. ... It also has a really fantastic navigation and obstacle avoidance system that is far superior to any vacuum only robovac that I have experience with."
"Pretty damn good at obstacle avoidance ... Has a camera, AI and Lidar."
"it doesn’t bump our pets"

"I am always disappointed with the vacuuming ability on carpets. ... I need the vacuuming ability of these two little beasts! ... The S8 that went second almost always has four to five times as much hair and debris in it's dustbin than the test robovac. ... I have never tested a robovac that came back with more debris than my S8s. ... The only robovacs that come anywhere near the performance of our S8s are the S7s and robovacs that are essentially similar in design with solid, single, rubber rollers."
"Coming from an S7, which vacuums very well, you will be disappointed with the vacuuming performance of any newer robovac from any manufacturer with auto detangling rollers. This includes that Saros 10R. ... I was so unimpressed with the Saros 10R's vacuuming ability after our S8 that I bought a second $350 S8."
"There is a key difference that really has an impact on vacuuming performance, especially on rugs and carpets. The S8 has dual counter rotating rollers."

"However, vacuuming ability will not be among them as anything from any manufacturer with auto detangling rollers and super high pascal vacuum pressure will not perform nearly as well as your S7 when it comes to vacuuming rugs and carpets. ... But I cannot find anything that will vacuum as well or better than our S8s from any manufacturer."
"hair tangles ... I had to touch the S8 way too often to remove tangles which meant I ran it less and less."
"Carpet not so much."

"I would always have to make sure there’s no socks on the floor with the S8 otherwise it’d get stuck in it most of the times."
"This takes away the remote camera features, and makes obstacle avoidance worse."

"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."
"not anything fancier because all that hair will just clog any automated dock."
"the mechanism used in the dock to clean the mops requires maintenance or it will clog with debris and gunk. ... I don't like the mechanism for cleaning the mops in the S8's dock, so I cannot recommend that either."
Agile_Ad3726 1.0For 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. You can also check out [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/KeepThisInMind/comments/1o1wp3o/best_robot_vacuum_cleaner_for_wood_floors_that/) for more options and tips if you want to compare before deciding.
Both_Engineering_151 1.0https://preview.redd.it/04xxgx3ok6df1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93056159dacef4130e9281f2ad3f3abe525a9bc6 Is this the one? It is at price 599$ usd, is it still worth to buy with this price? I bought roborock s8 max ultra and i am not satisfied with all the features it has
Conscious_Ad8133 1.0I 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.
DeepSubmerge 1.0I 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.
derekakessler 1.0Roborock S8 Max Ultra with auto-refill and drain dock. Hook that sucker up to your plumbing and you'll never have to bother with refilling and draining the mopping bins. Just occasional cleaning maintenance.
It's fantastic.
It's a very light mopping. Not a deep clean, but running every day makes up for that.
I have the S8 Max Ultra with plumbing hookup and it's awesome. Super reliable, does exactly what I want.
durdgekp 1.0I 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
flynnski 1.0This is the answer. They're great.
iplaythisgame2 1.0Really wish i have went ahead and got the refilling station too.
kaje10110 1.0I 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.
lateambience 1.0I don't have pets so I couldn't tell but my gf has long hair and I only clean hair out once a month. The hair doesn't get stuck anyway, it just starts wrapping around the "mounting pins" on the side that hold the brushes. You can remove the rollers, pull those pins out and the hair will fall off. Takes 2mins.
