amazing and thorough videos, also the music is matching perfectly. One thing to note, on the mopping pad the brownish stains are because of the dryer first usages, it's some plastic residue from the vents due to the heating inside the dock, so with a new one you wont have this anymore in the future, maybe in the long run but not so soon as when robot was new.

Thanks, very useful. By the way, don't you think the way the side brush gets its fibers angeled by the heat of mops drying is a design failure? Mine is like yours and in other vacuums I had that did not happened. The worst thing I think it is not just a chosmetic error, cause sometimes I can see side brush kicking trash out instead of absorbing it. Have you had a similar experience with yours?

Thanks for the video. I've done general maintenance with my Roborock; however, my vacuum got into some fine ash. We have a woodstove; while removing the ash from the woodstove, some got under the woodstove, leaving a very fine layer that blended right into the tile, and the vacuum went right over that. Since some items needed replacement, I just took care of everything. This video was very helpful in checking other areas, and now my vacuum is as good as new.

I do have some cocnerns with the deformed brushes. I have an Ecovacs T8 and have never had this issue. I'm considering upgrading to the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra but this feels like somewhat of a deal breaker as it would severely affect it's ability to sweep up dirt. How long did it take the brushes to deform?

It looks like the same problem I have with S7 MaxV Ultra, is going to be on this new S8 vacuum. I never refill the water tank on the vacuum on my own, because it auto fills it, but today, I was looking at the cashback offer, and cleaning it up for pictures, and there is brown build up or mold/mildew in the tank! So I have been cleaning my floors with dirty water! gross! I have found the same brown mildew in my clean water tank too, but Today is the first time I even looked at the vacuum's water tank. Please come out with a better solution to add to the Roborock products! It says you are only allowed to use Roborock cleaning solution, so now I don't know what to do!
