"The roborock cleans the carpet so well I haven't seen or felt any litter anymore."
"I notice my floors are much cleaner than any of my friends. I don't own a mop or an indoor Broom."
"VibraRise works ... especially if you spray some floor cleaning solution on the mop before installing it, it works wonders!"

"Roborock gave me hours of my life back and that's not an exaggeration."

"Serious multi-mode cleaning with active mop and lift for combined hard floor / carpet rooms starts with S8 or Q10 S5."
"When it mops, it skips the rugs. ... Haven’t noticed wet edges."

"It is a double roller. Super easy to remove hair. ... I have long hair and shed lots and there is no hair tangles. ... Where it accumulates are at the joints where the brush is being held and not a lot. ... No tool needed. No scissors needed to untangle. ... The design is genius."
"My wife sheds like a husky in summer and the rollers never have a strand of hair on them."
"there ’s literally no hair with that roller"

"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."
"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."
"I tried to find a single wheel for an s8 unit a friend had. Couldn get one."

"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."
"However, I do not like the mopping system on the S8s although they do mop very well. ... Rollers need maintenance at least weekly or they will clog with hair, debris and gunk. This is not always easy depending on the model."
"The self mopping feature imo is not worth it"

"the S8+ is absolutely awful for dog hair on carpets. ... it really cannot handle carpets. ... hate it every day."
"below average mopping ... The mop itself just doesn’t do well with only vibrating plus it dragged on the carpets."
"it has worse vacuuming performance than the previous model"

"I clean the mop with detergent every time I scrub, empty the chicken and refill the tank, it's a bit tedious"
"Here is the downside of the S8 if you were considering a fancy robovac with automated dock that does everything for you. The basic S8 does not have such a dock."
"change vacuum bag periodically - wish they went bagless here"
