Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra — it’s one of the most capable robot vacuum and mop systems I’ve used. The 10,000 Pa suction power ensures deep, reliable cleaning on both hard floors and carpets, effortlessly picking up dust, debris, and pet hair. One of the standout innovations is the FlexiArm Design side brush, which extends automatically to sweep into corners and tight spaces with precision, helping make sure nothing is missed around furniture legs or edges. The 8-in-1 RockDock Ultra base dramatically reduces maintenance work: it empties the dustbin, washes and dries the mop pad with hot water and air, and even refills the water tank. This level of automation practically lets you set it and forget it for days at a time, a huge time-saver for busy households. The navigation system is smart and efficient, using advanced obstacle recognition that helps the robot map your home quickly and accurately. Many users also highlight how intuitive and robust the smartphone app is for customizing cleaning schedules, zones, and intensity. While it’s a premium device with a price to match, the combination of power, automation, and thoughtful design makes it worth the investment for anyone who wants cleaner floors with minimal effort. Many owners consistently say it delivers on its promises and enhances daily life by reducing the chore of vacuuming. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a high-end robot vacuum and mop that cleans thoroughly, handles pet hair well, and frees you from most maintenance tasks, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is an exceptional choice.

I upgraded from the prior model (S8 Pro Ultra) to the MaxV Ultra for the improved object recognition, and better cleaning. I think the S8 Pro Ultra makes for a much better deal, especially when it's on sale. It's almost as good in every way, and costs notably less. However if you want the best from Roborock, the MaxV Ultra is the way to go. Things I like: 1) Navigation is fast and efficient. The s8 MaxV can map about 2800 square feet in about 25 minutes in mapping mode. 2) Cleaning for both vacuuming and mopping are very good. The vibrating mop pads do work for general surface dirt and grime. It picks up pet hair and cat litter with no difficulty. 3) Object detection in general is very good, and it successfully avoids a lot of the objects that get left around the house by my kids. Things my old i7 Roomba would run over, the MaxV avoids. I rarely have to babysit this machine, and I expect further improvements with firmware updates over time. 4) The docking & self cleaning are improved over the S8 Pro Ultra. The unit can now wash the mop, empty the vacuum, and dry the mop without having to change orientation. The prior model was not capable of this. I also find the dust bin emptying to be slightly quieter compared to the prior model. What I dislike 1) Unit can still get stuck on objects it's not trained on. I would expect a product at this price point to be able to recognize a pen/pencil on the floor, or a sheet of paper. 2) Battery life seems slightly worse than the S8 Pro Ultra. This is probably do to the improved suction and increased vibration in the mop pad, in addition to the RGB camera + LED light. 3) Edge mopping is okay, but I don't find it to be practical at this time. The unit will not run along the edges of rugs or carpet unless they are along a wall / boundary in the house. I was hoping the navigation algorithm would identify things like rugs in my home and use the edge cleaning mop pad to clean right up next to them. Instead the mop pad is generally lifted around 1-2" away from rugs and no special consideration is given to them. Edge cleaning is only useful for walls / boundaries in the home. 4) At this time, if you buy the model with voice assistance you will not be able to customize the names of the rooms in your house outside of the premade ones from Roborock (without going through some tricky to find settings). On the prior model without voice assistance you could name each room in your map from the map itself.

This Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra completely blew me away. I’ve owned other robot vacuums before, but this one is on another level. The suction power is insane — it actually picks up the dust and hair you didn’t even know was there — and the mopping feature leaves the floors spotless. The new FlexiArm side brush really reaches corners better than any model I’ve seen, and the RockDock Ultra makes the whole process totally hands-free. It washes, dries, refills, and even cleans itself — all you have to do is empty it once in a while. The app is super smart and customizable, with precise mapping and different cleaning zones. I use it on hardwood and tile, and it handles both perfectly without leaving streaks. It’s quiet, efficient, and looks premium in person. I’ve had it for a while now and every time it runs, I’m impressed by how clean everything looks after. If you want a robot vacuum that actually does the job and saves you time every single day, this is the one. Roborock absolutely nailed it!

Swip around good but not perfect. Mop almost perfect but really stain on wood you should run a few times. On deep mop water finish fast. You should be maintain each time. Add water. But on market this is best one. On wood almost perfect works. App is amazing. 2D. 3D. And matrix map so cool. Detection . Scan room. Cable. Furniture. Tv stand. Everything. Shoes. Slipper. Perfectly detected. If dust is really big sometimes not vacuum. But 2nd vacuum it is sucked. Noise is good. Even on high speed. Deep clean. Noise is fine. Not annoying. On highest 100 this robot deserve 80-90. Not perfect. But really above the good. Middle between good and perfect. I love it.

As a dad with three kids and four pets, you can imagine the chaos and mess at our place. I've gone through quite a few vacuums, both regular and robotic, and I thought I’d seen it all. That was until I got the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. Man, this thing is a game changer! First off, it does everything. Seriously, it vacuums, it mops, and it does both like a champ. The best part for me is the detergent dispenser. I used to hate refilling the mop on my old vacuums, but this one handles it all. It’s also got these redesigned water tanks and a dust bag that make maintenance a breeze. The dock is pretty neat too—it washes and dries the mop pad, so there's no funky smell afterwards. And it’s quiet! I can let it run while the kids are asleep, or even while I’m on a call, and it doesn’t bother anyone. Now, the smart features on this thing are top-notch. It doesn’t bump into furniture or get stuck on kids’ toys and pet stuff lying around. It’s like it knows where it’s going, thanks to some really cool room mapping tech. I got every room mapped out in no time, and it even shows me where it’s cleaned and where it hasn’t. And the cleaning itself? Phenomenal. We’re talking about it picking up everything from cat hair to cookie crumbs. Plus, the mop keeps itself clean, which is great because who has time to wash a mop every day? Setup was super simple too. I had it out of the box and running in minutes, and the app made it easy to get everything scheduled. Now I come home to clean floors every day without lifting a finger. All in all, if you’re looking for something to take some of the cleaning load off your shoulders, especially in a busy house like mine, this Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is worth every penny. It’s my new best friend in the fight against mess. Highly recommend for any parent out there who just wants a break from the daily grind!

It’s definitely on the pricey side, but I think it’s worth it. The vacuum solution does need to be purchased separately, but it lasts a long time and hasn’t been an issue for me. Overall, the vacuum was easy to learn how to use, and the app makes it simple to access the different features. It doesn’t get stuck and does a great job detecting and avoiding obstacles. I also like that it cleans itself at the dock, so maintenance is minimal. I just empty the dustbin and mop water every other day. During the first week, I ran it once or twice a day because my floors were pretty dirty, and by around day five the mop water was almost clear. The app features are a nice bonus, especially the video option. It’s helpful for checking in on the house and fun to be able to see my cats when I’m not home.

I’ve been using the Roborock S8 for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed with how well it performs. Setup was quick and easy, and the app is very user-friendly. It mapped my home accurately on the first run and now cleans in an organized, efficient pattern.

Excellent robot vacuum cleaner: it effectively removes dust and hair and navigates well around the home. The mopping function is truly useful — floors stay clean and fresh with minimal effort.

I bought this vacuum to replace an old Roomba that would get itself stuck against the couch 6 out of 7 days a week, which meant it almost never finished an actual cleaning cycle. Overall I like the Roborock vacuum but it's not perfect. I'd recommend it to people that don't have pets that roam around the house. Positives: 1. With the lidar and cameras it is efficient in its cleaning of the floor and navigating. 2. Having QR codes on different components to help locate replacements is great. I very much support right to repair. 3. Overall quality of the cleaning when it doesn't get clogged is good. 4. Love the overall functionality of the dock, the cleaning and drying of the mop, clean and dirty water tanks being easy to refill/empty, automated cleaning solution dispenser and the auto-empty function when it or the vacuum don't get clogged. 5. That it will generally be able to identify the rabbits and not run into them. Negatives: 1. The vacuum dust bin gets clogged very easily. The connection between where the brushes pick up stuff and go into the dust bin is very narrow. I have rabbits that free roam the house and the paper bedding from the cage seems to easily clog it up. 2. There is no sensor or recognition by the vacuum when it is clogged so it continues to "clean" and spreads the debris all around. Even my old Roomba was able to identify when it was clogged and stop, which was quite rare. 3. About once a month I get a brush tangled/jammed error. Nothing is ever actually causing a problem, I just have to take the brushes out and put them back in. 4. The auto empty function is great until it gets clogged by a mix of fur, bedding and the occasional piece of hay. 5. Where is Matter compatibility? Overall: It does a good job at what it is supposed to do but if you have pets keep an eye out for it leaving trails of debris around to identify that it is clogged. I went with this partially because it was supposed to have Apple Home functionality through Matter which is still MIA and the functionality of the dock, so I'm at least 50/50 right now. If I were in the market for another robot vacuum I would consider Roborock again but would want to check out the overall build of the vacuum. I would also look at other brands to see if I think they would function better for my circumstances.

Review of Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock Qrevo Curv Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuums I recently tried both the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and the Roborock Qrevo Curv, and while both are exceptional in performance and design, I ultimately returned the S8 MaxV Ultra in favor of the Qrevo Curv due to personal preferences. Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra This model truly impressed me with its FlexiArm Design Side Brush, 10,000 Pa suction power, and the 8-in-1 RockDock Ultra system, which offers convenient and advanced features like auto-emptying, mop washing, and refilling. The vacuum efficiently handled various surfaces in my home, seamlessly transitioning between carpet and hard floors, and the mop function provided a thorough clean. The AI-powered obstacle avoidance is top-notch, ensuring minimal disruptions during cleaning sessions. It’s a fantastic robot vacuum for anyone looking for a premium, hassle-free experience. Roborock Qrevo Curv While the S8 MaxV Ultra is an outstanding model, I am personally a fan of the rotating mop pads, which the Qrevo Curv offers. This feature gives the mopping function a more polished and deeper clean. With 18,500 Pa suction power, the Qrevo Curv delivers unparalleled suction, outperforming most competitors and making it ideal for homes with pets or heavy dirt. The Dual Anti-Tangle System ensures smooth operation, especially with hair or debris, which is a game-changer for busy households. Its sleek design and Wi-Fi connectivity make it easy to control and schedule cleanings through the app. Brand Overview Roborock as a brand continues to impress me with its innovation, quality, and attention to detail. Whether you opt for the S8 MaxV Ultra or the Qrevo Curv, you’re getting a reliable and high-performing robot vacuum. Both models cater to different preferences, but they share the hallmark quality of Roborock: efficiency, intelligence, and durability. Final Thoughts I returned the S8 MaxV Ultra simply because I prefer the rotating mop pads of the Qrevo Curv, but that doesn’t take away from how incredible the S8 MaxV Ultra is. Roborock has set a gold standard in robot vacuums, and I highly recommend the brand to anyone looking for a top-tier cleaning experience. Either way, investing in a Roborock is worth every penny.

So we have had a roomba for years and it gets the job done but never really been amazed at it. Still needed to mop and it would get stuck in random spots. Flash forward to 2025 and these new robots are amazing. The censors on this thing combined with the on board camera means it almost never gets stuck under a chair, in a closet or wrapped up in cords. We have puppy pad holders, dog bowl holders, rugs and small runners that other machines would get stuck in but this thing just navigates them all like a champ. The mopping function is a little weird, the thing vibrates and I seriously thought it was a gimmick, but holy cow the dirty water that comes out of this thing is disgusting. Like how were our floors that bad and how did our other cleaning tools miss it? Weve had it for like a month, and its amazing. Yes its expensive and yes you dont need it, but to be able to come home everyday to a clean floor is great. 5 stars, amazing!

I absolutely love this robot! It keeps up with our three husky household and is the first vac I’ve had that does a good job mopping. My tile has never looked better! It’s smart sensing also is a great feature, avoiding obstacles in a busy household.

We have used the vacuum for a couple weeks now. It seems to be a good vacuum. The floors are clean after it vacuums and mops. It does have a little bit of difficult avoiding some of the animal toys, but other than that it does a good job. Once object is removed it picks ip right where it left off. I would recommend to someone looking for a robot vacuum. I havent used the search feature to drive the robot to find a pet but I might try it soon to see how it works.

This vacuum cleaner is seriously impressive, one of the best I've ever used! It tackles both vacuuming and mopping with amazing results, leaving floors spotless. Honestly, I haven't encountered a single problem with it since I got it. Plus, setting it up was a total breeze. You really can't go wrong with this one.

As someone who works from home three out of five days, finding a reliable and efficient cleaning solution that doesn’t disrupt the workflow is crucial. The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra Robot Vacuum and Mop has been a fantastic addition to our tech-friendly household, offering a seamless blend of performance, convenience, and smart features that make maintaining a clean home easier than ever. Design and Build Quality The sleek white design of the S8 MaxV Ultra fits right in with our modern home setup. The FlexiArm Design Side Brush ensures it reaches those hard-to-clean areas, leaving no corner untouched. The build quality is robust, and the vacuum feels sturdy and well-constructed, promising longevity. Quiet Operation One of the standout features for me is how quietly this vacuum operates. Even with its powerful 10,000 Pa suction, it’s quiet enough to run during my work calls without any disruption. This is a huge benefit, allowing me to focus on work while the vacuum handles the cleaning. Performance The S8 MaxV Ultra excels at keeping our home clean, which is particularly important with a toddler running around. It effortlessly picks up all the crumbs, pet hair, and dust that accumulate daily, leaving our floors spotless. My wife particularly loves how well it mops the floors, providing a thorough clean that’s noticeable even on our hard floors. RockDock Ultra The 8-in-1 RockDock Ultra is a game-changer. It takes care of waste disposal, water refilling for the mop, and even self-cleaning, making maintenance practically hands-free. This level of convenience is a huge time-saver for our busy household. Smart Features The advanced navigation and object recognition are fantastic, ensuring the S8 MaxV Ultra never gets stuck or misses a spot. The app integration is incredibly user-friendly, allowing us to control the vacuum remotely. We can easily set cleaning schedules, designate no-go zones, and even keep an eye on our cat through the vacuum’s remote view feature when we’re away on trips. This added peace of mind is something we both appreciate. Family-Friendly Benefits For a household with a toddler, the S8 MaxV Ultra is a lifesaver. It keeps the floors clean and free of debris, making it safer for our little one to play. The quiet operation ensures that nap times aren’t disturbed, and the thorough cleaning means less time spent on household chores, allowing us to focus on more important things. Final Thoughts The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is more than just a robot vacuum—it’s a reliable household assistant that fits perfectly into our tech-savvy lifestyle. Its quiet operation, powerful cleaning capabilities, and smart features make it an invaluable addition to our home. If you’re looking for a way to keep your home clean without the hassle, especially in a work-from-home environment, the S8 MaxV Ultra is an excellent choice.

This is the best appliance since the dishwasher. I never dreamed I'd have perfectly clean floors all the time, but now I do. I've had a couple different robot vacuums but never had a vac/mop. On the upside: This thing is amazing. The map and no go zones and more give you total control of where it cleans. Like within inches. Obstacle avoidance is great. She doesn't get stuck. She takes pictures of things. I am actually getting more organized because of her! On the downside: She's high maintenance. The water tanks have to be filled and emptied every 2x I use it (1800 sq ft). Requires a monthly disassemble to clean it up. Overall, I love it and I'm glad I bought it.

Let me tell you about my new best friend—the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra! From the second I hit the “start” button, I knew this little superstar and I would be inseparable. Setting it up was a snap, and it mapped out my entire home like it already lived here. I’ve got two dogs who can’t resist rolling around in the grass, plus two cats who shed like there’s no tomorrow—so trust me, my floors can get wild. But the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra tackles the fur, dust, and mystery fluff like a total champ! Speaking of cleaning brilliance, the mop needed a quick rinse before its very first run, but once that was out of the way, it’s been nothing short of spectacular. I was too excited to wait for my fancy detergent, so I just used water the first time, and it still left my floors squeaky clean. Watching it zoom around, zapping every bit of dirt in its path, is honestly mesmerizing—and the feeling of coming home every day to a spotless house is pure bliss. I can’t stress enough how much I adore this thing. Between the powerful vacuum, the handy mop, and the effortless navigation, it’s basically the perfect sidekick for a busy home full of pets. If you’re looking for a cleaning partner that truly has your back (and your floors), the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is your match made in heaven. I mean, who wouldn’t love a best friend that never complains and always cleans up after you? It’s definitely mine!

Rating: 5/5 – Highly recommended. I recently moved into a new home, and the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra has become the greatest upgrade I’ve made. Its 10,000 Pa suction lifts every crumb from my rugs, while the VibraRise mop scrubs away dried kitchen spills in a single pass. The FlexiArm side brush finally leaves my corners and baseboards spotless, something my old vacuum never managed. After each run, the robot docks itself, automatically empties the dustbin, washes and dries the mop pad, and even refills its own water tank, so my involvement is limited to topping up detergent every now and then. The smart LiDAR mapping avoids phone cords, pet bowls, and socks, and I can schedule cleanings through the app to run while I’m at work, ensuring I return to perfectly clean floors without lifting a finger. Although the price is premium and the dock needs a bit of floor space, the time and effort it saves make it more than worth the splurge.

This thing cleans like nobodys business. Doesnt have a problem picking anything up, and also will reclean an area without being told

It took a day or two for “Rockie” to learn the layout of the house. Now it just does its thing and keeps my floors as spotless as they can be with 3 dogs and kids. We have it set to clean the floors every night at 11pm. Every morning we wake up and it’s clean and mopped. It avoids anything left on the floor. Not sure the price should be as high as it is but I guess you have to pay more for something that works well
