S8 Series

Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.

Having had a few finally settled on a Roborock S8 it seems to work better than the other we’ve had.

I've had my S8+ (basestation with just dustbin, no water tank) for almost 2 years. And I'm very happy. It cleans twice a week and still going strong. I paid about €1000. I bet the MaxV is even better! Only thing I can complain about is the battery have deteriorated a bit tho, so it struggles with 2h cleaning sessions at max power. Edit: I do regular maintenance and exchange parts as needed. And I regularly clean the robo and filter as well.

Can anyone share their experience with the obstacle avoidance of the Q10 S5+? How does it handle cables and small items like socks?  I previously had the S8 and it did a pretty good job with avoiding obstacles and generally was a great robot, I decided to upgrade to a model with an empty station and wondering if I should I go with the Q10 S5+ which is more budget friendly (and has the smallest station I saw) or maybe invest in the pricier s8+ 

I love mine. I still need to do a proper mop every month or so just for my brain to be happy but waking up to no crumbs is fantastic. It also forces me to keep things picked up so they don't get eaten by the vacuum in the night. I also just hate doing my floors so it's extra helpful for me. Something about vacuuming and then immediately needing to also mop the exact same floor I just cleaned annoys the hell out of me.

It starts at midnight so we're usually asleep and I really only hear it if I'm awake and it comes down the hallway to the bedroom door.

Lmao these numbers i bought an s8 refurbished with 20 hrs usage for 200 and it changed my life

It's definitely an upgrade to the standard dragging a wet cloth. Flagship Saros 10 is using vibrarise too but its a bit more updated and has more vibration and downward pressure. Not sure how big of a difference in terms of performance it is compared to the S8. If you can find S8 for a good price then I think you wont be disappointed I also think when choosing between rotating and Vibration mops its about preference and what type of floor you have. The rotating mops are using more water I believe and could have a tendency to leave wet streaks on floors
