Have tried various robotic vacuum cleaners over the years and had become skeptical about being a successful owner. The S8 MaxV Ultra has completely changed my mind after three weeks of ownership. The vacuum/mop capabilities have met or exceeded my expectations and have been performing well on both my hard floors (wood and tile) and a large area rug. We have a dog so it has had to deal with a lot of pet hair as well. The one area that could use improvement is that the company should be clearer about placement of the charging base. The vacuum is more than capable of cleaning my 2,900 square foot house (with one recharge) but it only maps the house up to a certain distance from the charging base which prevents it from vacuuming the unmapped areas. After some back and forth with Roborock support, I moved the charging base more toward the middle of the house and then the whole house got mapped. Now it's easy to get the vacuum to clean rooms selectively. The app is very good. It would be better if you could custom name your own rooms instead of being restricted to the predefined list.

Great device, poor written user documentation. Even if they don’t include written user manuals in the boxes, they should make a pdf document available online that covers the app and device. Videos are a poor substitution for a comprehensive written guide and we could not find videos to cover the app and all topics.

I’ve had many other robot vacuums and mops (I have three in my house) and this is by far the best ever. I had to replace one of my three and there was no way I was buying the other brand again. We did a lot of research and decided to splurge on the Roborock and it was worth every penny…

I have owned three Roomba over the years. Roborock is so much better. 1. Great configuration: choose room, or choose an area in a room to clean, choose vacuum only or followed by mopping, or mop only, choose how much water mop uses. 2. minimum maintenance: Hair stopper on the beater brush prevents the brushes get entangled with hair, dust bin and filter are so clean after the dust is sucked into the dust bag, no need for manual cleaning after each use. Mop gets automatically washed. The only thing one needs to do is to wash the filer every two weeks, replenish clean water, and dump dirty water when needed. 3. clear mapping: great map, area cleaned, location of robo are clearly marked on app. There are many other smart designs that make this model way more superior than Roomba. It took me several years to upgrade because of the price, but it is worth every penny.

we had an iRobot originally one for vacuuming and one for mopping. they were pretty good. our new roborock blows them out of the water. our floors look amazing. and we literally use it everyday to do the entire house. the floor not only looks better our roborock is 10 times faster and quieter. highly recommend this machine!

I did most of my cleaning using my trustee dyson upright, swiffer and o-cedar mop before we purchased a Roborock. I am very meticulous about cleaning and thought I would have to deep clean with my mop anyway but this little guy is so efficient it has freed up so much of my time. Mapping took about 40 minutes (we have a 2000 ft single story home) and the cleaning options range from a quick clean to a deep vibration clean. My only regret is we didn’t buy the plumbing version. We will most likely switch to that in the future.

We love our S8 MaxV Ultra! It was easy to set up and has been cleaning our many floors and rooms daily ever since it arrived. We have 5 cats and a dog and this has saved us so much time it's such a delight to be able to schedule cleanings around our own schedules, and to be able to do spot cleaning.

We had purchased an iRobot version and had nothing but problems from the start. We decided to return that and spend the extra money for the Roborock and it was the best decision we could have made. That old saying about cheap is correct. iRobot is cheaper, but ridden with problems. Cheap robots ant good, and good robots ant cheap.

The unit came incredibly well packaged and secure. Unboxing was not difficult, but provided a large amount of cardboard to recycle. Set-up was very easy using the quick start card. Very easy to connect to home WiFi. Charged quickly. Unit did a scouting run to learn the house layout and it was ready to go. It would be nice if cleaning solution was included in the start-up package, but otherwise it was good to go. It's a lot quieter than our old Roomba and the mop feature is too cool. Love it.

Hello Rocky why don’t you listen to me? Fine just mop and vacuum.
