"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."
"especially mopping... is great."
"VibraRise works ... especially if you spray some floor cleaning solution on the mop before installing it, it works wonders!"

"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."
"What made me actually stick with the s8 maxv ultra is the much better obstacle avoidance and , drum rolls ... Silent cleaning. I've discovered that i don't need to run my roborock at full speed as silent will do as great of a job. ... If you often clean during the night & you live in a multi-level building together with a bunch of other neighbors, I think the S8 MAXV ultra is more suited for you as it can silently & efficiently clean your house while not bumping into your wires or eating your shoes leases (at least in my case)."
"The standout feature, undoubtedly, is its obstacle detection using the camera."

"One of my favorite things about Roborocks is that the integration for Home Assistant works very well. ... For my routine cleaning, I can just tell Alexa to clean the house. This triggers a Home Assistant automation that runs all three of our robovacs at the same time while entirely avoiding traffic jams in the bottleneck areas of our house. ... I can get the whole house vacuumed thoroughly in about 45 minutes, followed by 45 minutes of mopping, and I don't have to wait for any robovac to recharge halfway through. ... This whole chaotic little dance works very, very well and is very satisfying to watch!"
"It pairs wonderfully with Home Assistant, making my life so much easier. ... I've created convenient buttons on my tablet throughout different rooms - just a quick tap and this helpful robot gets right to work! ... Couldn't be happier with this setup."
"I have had excellent results with Roborock S8s and Saros 10R with Home Assistant. ... All of my Roborock app routines were fully integrated into Home Assistant as entities. ... Now I can run every aspect right from Home Assistant, and by extension, through Alexa using voice routines. ... This is fantastic! ... I have used other robovacs with home assistant, but I have never had them integrate so well!"

"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"

"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"
"the S8+ is absolutely awful for dog hair on carpets. ... it really cannot handle carpets. ... hate it every day."
"hair tangles ... I had to touch the S8 way too often to remove tangles which meant I ran it less and less."

"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."
"Frequently fails to wash or dry the mopping pads, leaving floors dirty/wet."

"below average mopping ... The mop itself just doesn’t do well with only vibrating plus it dragged on the carpets."
"The floors are still dirty when it's done. ... I have to mop when it's done. ... I have textured tiles which might make a difference."
"The S8 MaxV with the side mop barley touched it. ... The side mops don't have much downward pressure and normally don't get quite as wet. All things needed to remove stubborn stains."

"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."
"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."
"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"
