Ditto. It is impressive and effective
homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Reco... ->Really wish i have went ahead and got the refilling station too.
homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Reco... ->This is the answer. They're great.
homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Reco... ->I 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.
homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Reco... ->From my experience with our Roborock S8 MAx Ultra, it is not quite as good a a good manual vacuum, but the fact that we run it almost daily makes it not have as much to pick up. In general, the floors stay clean.
homeautomation • Does a Robot Vacuum Make a Difference? ->So first with like 15 minutes wash cycle, roborock is pretty good at mopping already. The thing I am worried about S1 Pro is maintenance on the on-board dirty water tank, and just it being in general a first generation product. I would wait for a few months and see if people have long term complains about it. Yes it does feel like a paradigm shift, so why not keep watching how it plays out before placing your bets? (For real though, the top of S1 Pro is curved so my cats can't use it to climb up the window sill. Big design miss in my book :)
Roborock • Thoughts on Eufy S1 Pro ->We have four huskies, and wood floors with a super thick rug at the back door. I've used two roombas and a roborock; Roomba S9+, Roomba j9+ Combo, and Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. I've ditched the j9+ Combo entirely because it's pure trash. I've moved the S9+ to be purely our master bedroom bot. The Roborock is now our primary living space vacuum. So, dog breed aside, roombas in general seem to just suck (unironically, no pun intended). They've fallen way behind the curve and gotten way too comfortable with brand recognition. The J9+ was replaced 3 times on warranty and still couldn't reliably get around our house. 80% of the time I had to fix it being "stuck" on absolutely nothing. The S9+ didn't have this problem nearly so often, but has issues getting onto its charging base correctly. I've had zero issues with the Roborock in this regard. Breed specific stuff, the roombas have a HUGE problem with animal hair. Their rollers are not designed in any way that stops hair from getting wrapped up in the roller bits. On top of it, the roomba gives zero craps if the rollers are hitting strong resistance and will just keep trying to spin. So with huskies filling the house with new massive fur tumbleweeds on a daily basis, the rollers would A) get animal hair wedged into their metaly rotatey motor parts almost instantly, B) keep spinning at full blast until they almost catch fire. I had to do pre-screens for dog hair every time we ran either model, because otherwise there was a good chance the house would smell like burnt plastic mixed with burnt hair after a run. The rollers had to be fully removed and cleaned after *every run*, sometimes even mid-run. The Roborock rollers have some blade-like bits attached to the ends that seem to slice hair, or maybe it's just the way they're designed in general with multiple housings on the ends. They also shut down if there's too much in there. I still have to clean them out every couple cleans, but they're not nearly so packed with hair and the robot will stop instead of burning the house down if I forget. I also didn't care too much about mopping, but the roborock is so good at it that I do it every night anyway and it keeps the muddy dogprints off the floor. The self-cleaning mop thing is great. The j9+ Combo was *miserable* at that too. My only complaint would be that if the fur tumbleweed is too large, the Roborock avoids it like an obstacle? But if you see it on the map, even mid-run, you can just create a quick custom clean job for that location and force it to mow that sucker down.
RobotVacuums • Robo Vacuum for Husky Hair ->My house is about 3,500 sq ft with all hardwood floors, except for two bedrooms that have few rugs. There are five people, two cats, and a dog living here, so the house can get dirty rather quickly. The first robot vacuum I owned was the Dreame X30 Ultra. It was a decent enough model but broke down after two months, and I couldn’t get it fixed on multiple attempts. I replaced it with the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, but it didn’t measure up to the X30. Its mopping and obstacle avoidance capabilities were subpar compared to Dreame’s, and don't even get me started on the pet hair on the roller, I decided it isn't worth the trouble and returned it within a month then resorted to manually cleaning for about 6 months. Later i found the 3i S10 Ultra and backed it on KS, it had a few hiccups initially, but the company had like 3 firmware updates within 2 weeks and resolved them. Now, it's BY FAR the best robot vacuum I’ve owned, it cleans thoroughly, hasn't gotten stuck once, and even refills its own water tank by dehumidifying and distilling air moisture. It simply gets the job done. It has been two months now, and I can’t imagine not having it, i didn't know 3i company before backing the project and only after i saw some negative comments regarding the company on their previous OEM/ODM products. But i gotta tell you, the company for sure have up their game for this 3i brand, this thing is every bit as solid as the roborock, and better than the dream, it's now $1499 on amazon, honestly i would still get it.
RobotVacuums • Looking to buy my first robot vacuum ... ->Did alot of research and settled on the new roborock S8 maxv ultra. Way over priced but heard great things about it. I will update with how it goes. Figured I can always return it. The price will be worth it if it keeps my floor clean. My boxer loves to shed and pee when I'm not watching lol.
RobotVacuums • Best Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair Now ->I love it! Definitely pricey but pays off on everything I need!
RobotVacuums • Best Robot Vacuum for Pet Hair Now ->Roborock s8 maxV ultra. We’ve had it since August 2024 and it’s been so freaking reliable. Amazing machine. I’m so glad we waited and went for something high end.
homeimprovementideas • Which are the best robot vacu... ->The S8 MaxV ultra is last gen technology with its vibrating mop. I would choose the Dreame over the S8 max v as it has much better features, the app is just as good but the obstacle avoidance is leagues better. Is the Mova p10 pro ultra not available in your region? It's as good as the Dreame X40 while being significantly cheaper.
RobotVacuums • Which robot Vacuum+mob cleaning shoul... ->Fair enough. In that case it looks like Dreame made a huge improvement with object avoidance with the introduction of their "X" series like the X30 and X40. Considering the QRevo slim is Roborock's best object avoidance offering, the S8 does do worse than it and by extension the S7 is last gen tech. Looking at all the comparisons, most rank the Slim above the S8 and the S7 and then the X40 is well beyond the Slim. It's a shame because roborock would be the best choice if their object avoidance actually was reliable and consistent.
RobotVacuums • Which robot Vacuum+mob cleaning shoul... ->S8 MaxV Ultra has the best of any Roborock vacuum out there. I have owned several Roombas and their obstacle avoidance is superior. This comes second best.
RobotVacuums • Which robot Vacuum+mob cleaning shoul... ->YES! It’s not cheap thin plastic like the Q. The dock has thick textured plastic. The robot has brushes silver on top with an illuminated logo. It’s just a fancier version and much nicer looking.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->Hello everyone, I recently acquired the mentioned model, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. Setting it up and syncing it with the app was incredibly straightforward. On the same day, we sent it on a mapping mission around our 90m² apartment, and within 20 minutes, it had comprehensively covered the space. Given our lively Shiba Inu, we opted to run the vacuum at night while we slept. The next morning, the results were visibly impressive. The following day, we decided to put the mopping function to the test, and although it took Rocky a bit longer, we were equally pleased with the outcome. Operating it via the app is intuitive and user-friendly, suitable for beginners. The standout feature, undoubtedly, is its obstacle detection using the camera. I must admit, this is my first robotic vacuum, but after just two days, I can't imagine life without it, let alone settling for anything less.
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->Yeah I also like that feature. We realized how dirty each room ultimately is. What I haven't figured out yet is how to add another room to a running program. I know you can add zones, but they are arranged in squares and don't fit every room we have. Another thing I haven't figured out is how to make Rocky clean the hard floors of the room first, i.e., vacuum and mop, and then vacuum the carpets of the room last. I've seen that there's the function to go for the carpets of the entire apartment first and then proceed with the regular cleaning process. I miss the feature, cleaning floors first and carpets last...
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->I'll start by giving my past experience with robot vacuums. I first purchased an entry level Roomba about 6 years ago. After finding a lot of frustrations with the random cleaning patterns I decided to upgrade to the Roomba i7+ and M6 mop. The Roomba i7+ is a great machine and enjoyed it's use over the past 3 years unfortunately the M6 mop is and has always been a completely terrible machine. Now my first impression of the S8 max is amazing. It arrived very well packaged and was easily set up. The first mapping was very quick but did miss a few things, this was sorted by allowing the machine to do a complete clean of the apartment. This will improve with a few more runs :) Compared to both iRobot machines the roborock is a much quieter and performs a much deeper clean. 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, only time will tell how is holds up. My apartment is mainly made up of hardwood floors with a few rugs so I'm very much looking forward to having clean floors and not being asked to fill the tank every other day. I will edit this small review if any problems arise over the next few days of running the robot but so far I'm very happy with the purchase and it's incredible how far these machines have come.
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->Well I can't prove it provides a deeper clean but my wooden and tiles floors look cleaner than when my M6 used to clean the floors. You also seem to get full coverage with the S8 maxV compared to the M6 as it would spray infront and hope the pad gets completely wet I would imagine the vibration of the mop pad also helps with removing dirty which has become stuck to the floor. Not an advertisement just personal experience - I wish they would have paid me instead
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->You have definitely picked a very good model to start in the robot world. I've had mine now for 1 week and it's leaps and bounds better than i7+. My favourite function is the washing of mopping pad between rooms. I've checked the dirty water tank and very surprised with the amount of dirty removed.
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->This is the main downside for me as well. I will probably sell them to a friend for 100 or 200 just to get them into the robot game 😂 I was surprised how well it avoided cables I forgot to move but my apartment is very much robot safe these days because of the i7+ With the i7+ I had set no go zones but the S8 dealt with these areas with no problems without the use of no go zones. As for the mopping feature it doesn't spray water like the M6. It has nozzles on the underside which keeps the mop wet so danger of the nozzles becoming blocked plus the robot empties itself between uses. 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. I'd love to hear your thoughts when it arrives
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->Interesting to me because I also have an i7+ and an M6 mop. I’ve had these since 2019, but have a cleaning person come over once a week. The robots usually just keep it tidy in between since I have pets. I ordered the s8 maxv ultra yesterday so it should be here Monday or Tuesday. I honestly didn’t do very much research. I basically just said give me the best Roborock you’ve got and hit order. Hoping that it’s not a mistake and I can actually see a real benefit to switching. The main things I liked were the heated mopping, the longer battery life so it could actually clean the entire apartment without having to charge half way through, the little arm that supposedly gets corners, and the LiDAR system to (hopefully) not eat cables and avoid some furniture. The m6 was also a pain because I would have to wet the mop, fill the tank, let it do it’s thing, then wash the mop pad, take out the tank, etc. I’m hoping that I can leave the water in the Roborock for more than a day without it clogging the nozzle like I experienced with the m6. I laughed when I read that it can go find my pet. Will try this out and see if it really can next week. I’ve also got hardwood everywhere except for a couple of short pile rugs and a single room that is 90% carpet. Hoping that the mop raises up enough and doesn’t get it wet when traveling. If I can set up an automation to have it vacuum every couple of days without needing to worry if every single thing is picked up off the floor then I’ll be extremely happy. Only downside is that the i7+ and m6 are basically worthless. I may be able to get 300 for both if I’m lucky, but it’ll be a hard sell.
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->https://preview.redd.it/715bb5zl0ftc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dab8ed26b9e94c8616a3f148dc18d9d5efd00782 So far this thing has been pretty awesome. Let it run a couple of times to do the mapping and the AI has detected my pets, multiple cables, cat toys on the ground, and somehow it knows my furniture… which is a bit creepy. It knows beds, couches, tv stands, cat littler boxes, dining room sets, etc. I mopped last week so the floors weren’t particularly dirty, but the dirty water I poured out after a normal clean was pretty dark. I’d say it was doing its job. The fact that it vacuums and mops in one go is also quite nice as the separate iRobots would go after one another. I tried to get my hands on the model with the water hookup, but it’s unavailable. If it gets back in stock I’ll grab it and give it a go. Without the hookup it’s about 1/2-3/4 a tank of water it uses to mop in one go for my place. The little arm for the corners is also really nice. Watching that thing get into the 90 degree dirt ist pretty satisfying. I’m not sure what the power consumption is yet for when it dries the mop for 3 hours, but I’ll add a smart plug and check the stats. Seems like that could add up quick if it dries the mop for 3 hours every day. Overall I’m pretty damn impressed so far.
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->Roborock 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.
homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Reco... ->It's fantastic.
homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Reco... ->It's a very light mopping. Not a deep clean, but running every day makes up for that.
homeassistant • What are The Best Robot Vacuums Reco... ->Roborock S8 ultra. We love it. Runs every other day, vacuum and mop. Have had it about a year and a half
BuyItForLife • Best self cleaning robot vacuum? ->10/10 Roborock from Xiaomi I’ve had the S5 for a few years now. I’ve been eying off the S7 and now S8, with their significantly upgraded docking system, but I just can’t fault the performance of the one I have and am waiting until it stops working to upgrade.
AusPropertyChat • Anyone here use robot vacuums? Rec... ->I have two a Roborock S7 and an S8 ultra something with the dock. For vacuums I have been happy with both. The Roborock integration works well, but as others have said it does rely on their cloud to function. I stumbled on Valutido. The install process is harrowing and I've only done it on the S7, which required almost fully disassembly (only two extra screws). https://valetudo.cloud/ Its awesome. All the same featured but completely controlled locally. I'm working up the courage to try it on the S8.
homeassistant • What's a good robot vacuum & mop combo? ->I've been in the same boat, dealing with pet hair from my two furballs! IMO, it's crucial to have something with strong suction and efficient mopping abilities for a 400sqm tiled house. Among your choices, the dual rollers of the S8 MaxV Ultra seem like they'd handle pet hair really well, but don’t overlook having a solid all-around option. If you’re after something versatile and future-proof, you might want to consider checking out [this handheld vacuum](https://link.getsosocial.com/handheld-vacuum). They’re known to manage pet hair like a boss and are pretty robust for large tiled spaces. You won't regret making the investment!
Roborock • Best Robot Vacuum + Mop for Pet Hair? ->It depends on how bad your dog hair situation is. My son and daughter in law have gone through 4 of various brands in just over a year. They just gave up entirely. They have 4 full size shedding dogs though. They said it was def the dog hair that kill the vacs and not the kids. On the other hand, my wife and I have a Roborock Ultra and 3 small non shedding dogs. Our robo vac is by far one of our best purchases. Why run it when going for a walk? We run it after we go to bed.
homeautomation • Does a Robot Vacuum Make a Difference? ->I remember I was thinking my robot was broken on the first day. I quickly went putting all full carpet rooms together in one routine with vac only mode. Doing so also avoids mop washing before the job. And the vaccuuming is as quick as it should be. Same for the tiled rooms with vac + mop. I even have a third routine to do vac only on the tiles. I run it about 2-3 times as often as vac+mop.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I just got mine yesterday and already working with support because it is failing to dock right out of the box. So for the cost I am extremely unhappy with it just yet. Too expensive for something so essential to its function not to work.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I've been looking into it myself, than decided, to get a autofill station for My S7 MaxV Ultra as first and maybe wait for a more improved version of that S8 MaxV Ultra, since, they sadly have rushed it a bit and a few of the features aren't on point as they've said. Also, that trade in programm would probably give Me just 250-350$ back for My, now almost a Year in Heavy use, very dusty envoirment. So, eh, gotta do that and maybe put that S7 later on into the shop or soemthing or into the wharehouse, idk. ... Long story short, get one of those autofill stations, and maybe wait a year, at least that's what I'M planning to do since I have it in use almost daily as well. Also, those autofill stations are around 250-350$ on AliExpress, when they're on Sale, sometimes down to 175$, so get one if You can and wait a bit.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->It’s not about layout. 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. Btw, according to vacuum wars, the best carpet vacuum is [Roborock Qrevo Curv](https://vacuumwars.com/roborock-qrevo-curv-review/). And it leaves its mops at the dock when it vacuums the carpets.
RobotVacuums • Roomba s9+ vs ? for only carpet ->Hi, i just bought the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, i did the first vacuum and mop. Very Happy. But the emptying of the washable filter has me puzzled. Do i need to turn the Dock Base off to take the robot out?
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I've had mine for a few months now. Love it. I came from the Neato world when they discontinued operations. I dump the dirty water tank from he dock and refill the clean tank twice a week, since I mop on the same frequency. That way they're ready before it starts that operation. I vacuum daily and the bin empties with no issues. Just be sure to do their recommended maintenance. I clean the sensors weekly (wipe them down) and wash the mops in with the laundry every other week. Couldn't be happier at this point.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I used it for a few weeks and it was really great! I returned it and bought the QRevo Master and the performance is very similar. The mop doesn’t lift as high which could be an issue depending on rugs/carpets in your home. The object avoidance has been roughly the same as well, no issues aside from one cord and even the s8 maxv had an issue with it as well. Vacuuming/mopping is excellent on both models with no noticeable difference. Both were able to complete my torture tests with 100% efficiency 😂
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I have a Roborock self emptying one now and mostly got that because it could vacuum and mop. Before I had a neato bot vac and dir just vacuuming the neato is far superior. That did a way better job of throughly heavy duty vacuuming, when I had that vacuum I had 3 German shepherds and a black lab so I definitely needed a ton of suction and power that didn’t clog, get tangled etc. but now I live in the north and with snow and ice and mud I needed mopping too. I also now only have one German shepherd, my other dogs don’t shed as much. But I also have a pot belly pig that always brings in mud. So the Roborock works great for that but for straight vacuum and suction power the neato is better.
germanshepherds • Recommendations on a Robot Vacuum ->I recommend Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, It is a top-tier option with powerful suction, AI obstacle avoidance, and fully automated maintenance (self-emptying, self-washing, and self-refilling). Ideal for hands-free cleaning with excellent navigation and deep carpet + hard floor performance.
RobotVacuums • What's the best robot vacuum? ->I recently upgraded my Eufy X10 pro to the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. Holy mother fucking god. The difference. I thought eufy mopped the floor well but this really cleans the floor. Like it felt clean! Wow. I have 2 cats 1 short hair 1 long hair, didn't leave any fluff on the floor at all. I'm so amazed, let's see how it performs in 3 months time.
RobotVacuums • Best robot vacuum & mop combo for pet... ->Unfortunately, robot vacuums are one of those things where the budget versions really aren't going to cut it. You'll only get a decently capable machine if you're willing to shell out quite a bit of money (at least double what you're looking to spend). Right now we have a roborock s8 maxv ultra, and it has been a major improvement because with our pups shedding, the house really does need to be vacuumed daily. The cheaper robot vacuums we tried just didn't do a good job of picking the hair up and couldn't hold up to the daily use. I'd say for the time being, you're better off embracing a good handpush vacuum because you'll be able to get much more suction power for a whole lot cheaper.
greatpyrenees • Best robot vacuum on a budget? ->Not cheap bht I use the roborock s8 max v ultra and my floors, lvp are spotless everyday. I run it every night.
homeowners • Need advice on choosing the best robot ... ->I drew a bad card. Mop function kept jamming and support was slow to reply. It’s obviously a software bug as the vac function works and there is no obstructions.
Roborock • Review of S8 maxV Ultra ->We got the roborock s8 ultra maxv. It is very nice
BuyItForLife • Best self cleaning robot vacuum? ->Neither the s8 or QRevo is great with longer dog hair, our roombas are better for that, but for a Jack Russell the roborocks would probably be great.
Roborock • Best Robot Vacuum + Mop for Pet Hair? ->as a S8 MaxV Ultra user, i would be extremely concerned about the cleanliness of my house if the S8 is not able to mop something found on the floor...
Roborock • Best Robot Vacuum + Mop for Pet Hair? ->Are you sure about that? Because I'm pretty sure I remember them demoting the S8 MaxV Ultra quite badly after their updated mopping test. And in my experience it was very mediocre. I also mentioned the water tanks and maintenance because OP said he was a newbie, so it's not unreasonable to assume that he's not familiar with the required maintenance of these devices. That's not something the manufacturer will readily mention, and most reviews will barely gloss over maintenance or skip it altogether.
RobotVacuums • Can robot vacuums with mopping functi... ->This is the worst robot vacuume I've ever owned. 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. 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. Obstacle avoidance is a joke. My last robot was a roomba i7 and it was great. We only upgraded because the mapping was better on this one, it had "better obstacle avoidance" (what a joke) and it could mop without intervention as well as cleaning the mop head on its own. The surface level stuff looks really good (like the maps and mopping stuff), but that stuff is worthless if it can't even do a single vacuume cycle without getting stuck. If I could return this, I would. I hate it. Not to mention the price...... sigh. Maybe I just got a bad one, but this thing is terrible, and I can't understand how all of these reviews look so good all the time. I can't wait to get something different. Let me know if you have any questions.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->Completely overpriced. Completely worth it. 1. I have nothing else to compare it to. My guess - you will get like 80-90% of the functions for half the price or less. So it it worth to pay twice the price for a little extra? Depends if you can afford it or not, how it affects your budget. But yeah, its expensive but really good!
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I absolutely love mine, the main reason I went for it over the qrevo or another cheaper one is the auto refill station, I don’t know if it is worth the cost difference if you get the regular tank version. If you can manage the auto refill that is definitely the way to go.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->After watching your review video, I bought the MaxV Ultra 2 months ago. Your video was very detailed. Thank you.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->We have the S7 MaxV Ultra and a brand new S8Max ultra. We decided that the added capabilities of the V version didn’t outweigh the price. The camera is a neat function but we didn’t use it and the avoidance honestly isn’t great. The regular sensor avoidance on the S8 seems on par so far or better(only been a day or so)
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I have 3 of this unit. 2 of which are standard and 1 of which is autofill and drain. The standard units have worked flawlessly. I am on my third autofill and drain since release. Roborock support was happy to replace them, but I’m concerned there is a flaw in the dock design.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->Over hyped but does most floors clean and mop... I use it but also do some manyal cleaning... I see it this way.. $180 cleaners every w weeks can be cut down to 1 time a month... That will be 180x 10 months of saving towards this
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->I say no. I returned mine and bought a like new Q Revo on Amazon for $600 and saved $1,200. Sure, the S8 MaxV has a camera, much better obstacle avoidance, and a flex arm (which didn’t work), but to me that just wasn’t worth $1,800. I don’t mind moving a few cat toys and checking for cat puke to save $1,200. The core mechanics are very similar between the two as far as my average consumer brain can tell. I don’t think my hardwood floors care what they get mopped by. I feel like the upper tier of robot vacuums are good but we’re getting into “stupid money” territory these last few years.
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->We just got one a few weeks ago and love it. Frankly it overperforms my high expectations
Roborock • Is Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth the $$$? ->Another vote for the Q Revo with full self emptying and self mop washing/drying. The price hurts, but got it for black friday a year ago so it wasn't quite so nuts. And for whatever reason it does all the same stuff as the S8 max or whatever they call it, just with spinny mops instead of vibrating, for much cheaper. Also have the LG self-emptying stick vacuum. At least for our household, we've learned that lowering the barrier to quick cleanup was by far the best way to get us to actually clean. With our old stick and robot vacs, having to empty the dustbin and for basically every use meant it was enough of a hassle that we would just not clean as often. The self-cleaning are certainly not maintenance free, but make it more of a monthly deal. And the roborock app is pretty great, sometimes a little finnicky but better than others I've tried, and HA integration is straightforward enough to get the basics working. I have a dashboard with buttons that just send it to individual rooms which is good enough. Eventually will make some toggles to select multiple rooms at once.
homeassistant • What's the best robot vacuum and mop... ->Roborock s8 maxV ultra. Worth every penny at 1099. Got 3 here and got my mom one for xmas. She loves it so much. Sends me videos almost daily.
homeassistant • What's the best robot vacuum and mop... ->If all you care about is the vacuuming performance, the dyson robot vacuum is the best performer (especially against fine dust and deep carpets), If you want other commodities/features, then the roborock S7 is good. The s8 and newer units have more features but decreased vacuuming performance. I wouldn't get a roomba unless you value support/warranty the most, irobot vacuums aren't the best anymore but they do support their machines for a long time and support is better than what you will get with roborock/dreame/dyson. Regardless of what you choose, modern robot vacuums will do a good job.
malelivingspace • Best Robot Vacuums most commonly p... ->No it's not bad advice, vacuumwars tests are often not representative of real world scenarios and fail to mention some of the degradation modern releases have had over older robot vacuums. To be fair, on his review of the S8, he did mention the reduction in performance over the S7, however, he didn't showcase how bad it is compared to the old S7 (particularly against deep carpets and tiled floors). You can see what I mean on this channel: [https://youtu.be/VVnX3uhBiTQ](https://youtu.be/VVnX3uhBiTQ) , the owner uses multiple carpets of different density and materials, uses certified test dust along with other challenges that you'd expect robot vacuums to be able to deal with (tiled floors, hard floors, etc). You can find similar reviews on asian blog posts (chinese & japanese in particular), where roborock gets way more critiques for overhyping their products and reducing the quality of new releases while having zero after-sales support.
malelivingspace • Best Robot Vacuums most commonly p... ->We just got an S8 Ultra and it's great. The mop does a decent job but stuck on or big messes need manual intervention. With things that are stuck we have success in just pretreating with cleaner and letting it sit and then telling the robot to mop the area.

homeassistant • What's the best robot vacuum for hom... ->I have a maine coone so theres always fluff balls all over the house. I also have tile all throughout the house so you can feel when the floor is dirty. So bought an S8 Max Ultra that run anytime we leave the house. No more fluff balls. No more dirty floor. Its great.
homeautomation • Does a Robot Vacuum Make a Difference? ->Indeed, have the S7 and the S8. No problems with them
homeassistant • What's a good robot vacuum & mop combo? ->I've got my roborock S8 integrated. If it has an error or (rarely) gets stuck, HA detects it and annunciates over the google nest speaker that "Rockette has an error". Otherwise it might sit at the far end of the house while I'm in the basement and never hear the robot itself complaining.
homeassistant • What's a good robot vacuum & mop combo? ->Roborock has a good implementation into HA which I've used the past year. Maybe the Q Revo will be something for you? Or a top model like the Sxx versions. I just switched to the eufy x10 pro omni and I'm bummed that there are no working solutions for HA for this model yet :(. I have to use another app like a noob.
homeassistant • What's a good robot vacuum & mop combo? ->Another vote for Roborock S7/S8. I can't believe how great it is thus far. Just dump the dirty water tank / fill the clean water tank & that's it! (& change vacuum bag periodically - wish they went bagless here)
homeassistant • What's a good robot vacuum & mop combo? ->I agree. Btw the best. Funny no one has mentioned iRobot but reviewers keep saying the top 5 robots are all Roomba.
RobotVacuums • [deleted by user] ->Same model I have and I absolutely love it.
RobotVacuums • [deleted by user] ->I would agree. I just recently moved from an IRobot s8 to a Roborock s8 MaxV ultra and it’s night and day. iRobot is years behind.
