"VibraRise works ... especially if you spray some floor cleaning solution on the mop before installing it, it works wonders!"
"The S8 can mop, and is a huuuuge upgrade compared to the Roomba."

"This is my 2nd roborock in 7 years and honestly the price is justified. It lasts forever if cleaned out and change it's parts (app tells you when to)"

"Oh I had it, it’s even worse. Try testing out its avoidance with almost anything, especially on carpets. ... It didn’t know the poo it saw a week ago was real thou ): ... Never had me roomba j series run into poop. ... My Roomba J9+ avoided diarrhea ... Because both my Dreame L series and Roomba J series did the same test flawlessly"
"The Roborock s8 pro ultra does not have a camera based obstacle avoidance system and is frankly old tech at this point, would not recommend it."
"our S8 Pro Ultra has not detected leading to several unfortunate smears."

"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."
"Cleaning the dirty water tank was a pain on my Roborock and required weekly deep cleaning or it smelled horrible."
"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."

"Roborock refused to cooperate or properly fix the issue while still under warranty! ... Their customer support is all through email after you call the 1800 number, and their response was basically we replaced the board in the unit and base station what do you want us to do? ... well they never emailed back. Calling the 1800 number you get the "were so sorrycwell escalate this and you'll recieve an email soon." No email just silence."
"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."

"the S8+ is absolutely awful for dog hair on carpets. ... it really cannot handle carpets. ... hate it every day."
"Since long hair is top prio then S8 is out. ... I have my S8 pro for 2 years, same rollers as every other S8, one woman in the house if I leave the roller for “a few months” it would be so clogged that it won’t be able to spin anymore. ... I’m removing quite a lot of hair out of it every 2 weeks maintenance."
"hair tangles ... I had to touch the S8 way too often to remove tangles which meant I ran it less and less."

"when the roborock would empty its dustbin it would always wake her up as I run it overnight"
"I hated that my Roborock would try to send data to Chinese servers. Luckily I saw the traffic on my firewall and was able to block it."
"the self emptying vacuum feature can get loud"
