These things are getting pretty great. I'm hoping the next iteration is designed to potentially connect to a water supply and drain, a la' a washing machine. With additional improvements in battery tech, I could see a not-so-distant future where self-filling and emptying robot vacuums and mops become a home-design consideration alongside the dishwasher or washing machine. Bummer about the lower power and lackluster dual-brush results, but that level of precise detail is exactly why I watch your reviews!

One thing to note when comparing the S7 MaxV Ultra to the S8 Pro Ultra is that when you did your navigation tests on the S7, the navigation system probably didn't have the navigation system updates that it now has with the S8. Just something to keep in mind with the software updates that older models have gotten in the time since.

@BenjoRealm 11 ай бұрын

I picked one of these up and set it loose just a couple days ago; I'd ordered it long before this video came out in anticipation of it's awesomeness. Mopping is as mentioned, fantastic! Better than my Braava Jet, so I'm glad I can put that thing away! The vacuuming though, to be honest, my previous Neato D10 did a better job in a single pass on hardwood floors. (I have a Roomba S9+ for the carpets upstairs, and it's fantastic too.) The rest of the features blow the poor D10 out of the water though. Only thing I might add is that this robot sure talks alot! Scares my 2-yr-old daughter!

I’ve bought three shark vac types based on his review and they are spot on. He does summarize in detail about the pros and cons and budget of vaccum models and is on point. I just can’t see myself paying over $1,000 for a robot vacuum that is not perfect. Especially, if it is weaker in suction than the Roborock Ultra S7. Shark tends to be 1-2 year behind technology improvement features compared to Roborock but their price point is a lot wallet friendlier.

@Dagot1948 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for the great review. I considered both the S8 and the S7 and went with the S7. With a mix of very low pile carpets and wooden floors in our house, the S7 performs great, and the extra cost of the S8 didn't seem justified. Based on the many reviews on KZfaq, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni seemed a great second choice, especially with the much lower price tag. Coming from an S6 that I've used for 3+ years with excellent service, and seeing Roborock's product development helped me decide. The only gripe is there is no warning when the onboard dust bin is full. A drying attachment is available for the S7 for about $100, but since I only mop the entire house once a week, I just remove the mop head, throw it in the washer, and let it air dry. No odor problems. Emptying the dirty water container after a mop job, rinsing it with water and adding a few drops of disinfectant eliminates another source of odor. Based on other reviews, I understood the S8 was better on carpeting, especially in homes with dogs or cats who are always shedding. This review may question that assumption. Since we don't have dogs or cats, that made the S7 a better choice for us. It's a wild market these days with lots of robots out there that do a variety of things. Reviews like this help people choose the model that's best for their needs and that meet their budgets. Thanks again for your hard work and presentation!

I can't find an x1 omni cheaper than an s7 maxv ultra, and honestly I don't find s8 being worth it, seems to not behave that much better than the s7. I'd say skip this one and go for s9 if you are on the fence, I'm looking at s7s for round 800 which seems to be perfect, split it in 4 payments and it's as if you paid a maid to come clean your place in those months, and then she keeps working for "free"

@@user-bl4lf9rg8m If you have carpeting, you may find the S8 performs better with pet hair. I'm also hearing that people who bought the S7 are buying the roller brush for the Roborock Q5. This is a brush roller, unlike the rubber roller that comes with the S7. The brush roller seems to greatly improve the S7s carpet vacuuming ability. As with ANY robot, if you have shedding animals in your home, be sure to check the roller, spinning brush and wheels to avoid hair tangles and poor performance.

Was about to upgrade from S7+ to S8U, then I saw a video about Dreame X20 last week. It can extend mops to cover edges and most corners; pretty interesting. Sadly their US variants seem to lag behind by quite some. L10 is similar to S10 overseas, and we don't even get S20 (Pro)/X10/X20. Shipping the G20 (S8U equvilant) overseas is also a viable option, consider it's about $720 not counting shipping. Adding all the cost it's still half the price comparing to S8U. The only down side might be the warranty.

No. It can handle a little water. however you can't use the auto vacuum after, you have to manually empty the dust bin cause it might be crusted on. If there's too much water the robot will tell you that The floor is wetter than its limit and then pause and ask you to dry it. I wouldn't worry about it.

With all the improvements to the S8 Pro Ultra like included drying and the dual brush ineas getting a bit of buyers remorse from getting the S7maxV Ultra last year. After hearing the carpet and crevice performance is worse I'm more secure in the S7 and I'll just get the drying module for that. Hopefully they can iterate on their dual brush and work out the kinks by the time i actually need to replace the device.Great review as always

I purchased the S8 Pro ultra and ended up sending it back and going with the S7 MaxV. I waited for all the updates and all the promises and it is just nowhere as good with obstacle avoidance as the camera based. They make all these big claims but the S7 Max v is just so much better and I got one refurbished from Amazon for $900 that was basically brand new with $100 three warranty. I honestly can't think of a good reason to go with the essay besides I'm certain some of these reviewers get kick backs.

RE: Floor Mapping When first freeing a robotic vacuum to chart the perimeter of rooms, is it best to pull away from walls as many furnishings as feasible? Seems a more accurate floor plan would result in more thorough cleaning, regardless of what’s sitting where when later sweeping and mopping. Thank you for your guidance and rigorous reviews!

@c0unterph0bia 8 ай бұрын

I've vacuumed over a million square ft with these robots. The answer is... sometimes. Try mapping the way that requires the least effort possible first. Quick map, then clean & map if that fails, resetting each time. Use temporary no-go lines and zones for difficult areas which you observe cause the map to distort. The map will "correct" itself over time with each run. Always save a backup to restore in case your map becomes warped. You might need to partition your home into two "rooms" or put no-go lines between certain walkways or doorways. It's a bit like a game, but you can eventually get any map to be "perfect". Don't forget to save a backup.

Hi! Thank you for the review and great job as always! I'm torn by this video because now, I'm contemplating on whether I should still splurge on the S8 Pro Ultra or save some money and get a decently discounted S7 MaxV Ultra? I was hoping for an all out knockout with the S8 but with the low carpet deep clean score and crevice pickup, I'm wondering if I should get it. Do you think they can fix this with a software update that improves suction? Or maybe we now need to run the robot on higher suction power to assist with the pickup? Please do a follow up video about this; I hope you'll do more tests and investigation on it. Maybe Roborock can help answer some questions too. I'll wait for a followup before pulling the trigger on the S7 MaxV Ultra

I purchased the S8 pro Ultra and I am VERY happy with it. Yes its pricey but its so good, it cleans quickly, is quiet and is totally autonomous. Also the mop washing feature is excellent the mop still looks like brand new and I live in a very large home so it gets used often. The app has so many useful features as well. Its lightyears ahead of my Neato D7
