Roborock S8 Pro Ultra at Amazon: geni.us/AjAO Roborock S7 Max Ultra at Amazon: geni.us/dDAK Roborock Q Revo at Amazon: geni.us/Pfs7SlZ

I got the Q Revo and returned it now using the S8: The raising mop isn't really that much a difference, because the spinning mop seems thicker and especially when its wet The dock on the Q Revo is much better, it charge at the back so the robot don't need to back in to wash and then turn around to charge and the cable management at the back is much better Tank design is also better on the Q Revo, the cover open full length and stay open, unlike the S8 only open half and still need to hold it to keep it open I always clean up my floor before sending the robot out, so the obstacle avoidance isn't much an issue for me, but the Q Revo does seems react a little bit slower to stuff The major reason for me to switch to S8 is the mop, the spinning mop seems leave very noticeable mark on my tile and it is actually narrower; the Q Revo spin on the plastic to clean the mop, it should last a lot longer than the others, but I found out the dirty does trap at that plastic tray a lot and very hard to clean The material on the S8 dock feels higher quality, although it has a smaller tank, but S8 seems use less water when mopping, so refilling frequency seems same to me For those who don't leave stuff on the floor, the Q Revo is really the best deal, it really does perform the same on mopping and vacuuming, but if you leave a lot of stuff on the floor than S8 is the way I moved from old Roomba 980 + m6, so not matter what I'm happy, it takes less than hour to mop and vacuum my house now compare to 4+ hrs 🥲 However, I do miss my m6 mop, cause I feel the m6 still perform better on mopping, even the j7+ combo seems better than the S8; but iRobot's mapping and navigation is so disappointed

exactly the comparison I needed.. Thank you.

We have the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. Had it for 3-4 months. Flawless so far.

Finally a new vacum video 😂. I’m obsessed with these ❤

Great Video! I was wondering if you guys are planning to review the Shark CarpetXPert

Fantastic video as always. The S7 Max genius link doesn’t work but the Revo and 8 link work. This applies to both the pinned youtube comment and the video description.

Love your videos. Jam packed with all the right info and tests. How does the s7 max ultra compare to the ecovacs t20 omni? Which one would you recommend?

Hey Chris, I think you might have a hole in your testing. Some other channels are observing a dramatic difference in obstacle avoidance performance when on carpet vs when on hard floors. RGB camera systems seem to keep most of their performance, where the directed light systems of the s8, etc. just absolutely fall apart. I’ve also experienced this with the s8- on carpet it’s a nightmare and gobbles up objects much more than even my s5 did. My s7 maxv is just night and day better in these conditions. Thinking it was a bad unit I replaced it, but both s8 units behaved the same. Any chance of looking into this?

Great review, if you can, I would love to see a review of the new Eufy Robovac X8 Pro, it's Eufy's newest self empty robot and it really sounds like a good one.

SEE UPDATE AT END: Just got a Q Revo and will be returning it. Was very excited about it however it has constant problems with the auto emptying feature clogging. It also does not pick up things that you would think it would pick up and in the hallway where I have a runner down the hallway with hardwood underneath, it tends to deposit dust bars . Was also very excited about the rotating round mops thinking that would be most effective compared to the vibrating mops and I can't really say that they do a fantastic job. The unit does get high points for the mop cleaning and drying feature that it has. Also noticed that when there's Hardwoods underneath rugs, the unit will get half on the carpet half off the carpet. It turns on the mops and because of the angle of the unit the mopping basically is useless on the hardwood as sufficient contact isn't made w the hardwood floor. And because it's using water for mopping, the carpet can get slightly damp as the unit thinks it's on hardwood. You would think the algorithm would allow it to go back and position itself so it is squarely on the hardwood so that the mopping would be effective with it maneuvering on hardwood completely rather than being half on hardwood, half on rug... of course there are times there's not enough space between wall and rug to allow it to do that but in the places where there is, that trajectory would be preferable. It appears you get a lot for the money and you can't beat the price but I have just been disappointed. Having reviewed some of the other brands it is my inclination to get a higher-end model in another brand and forgo the mopping feature and just have the vacuuming and auto emptying option. While the mopping feature is fantastic for tile not sure I trust nice hardwood floors to the robotic mopping if it were to use too much water on Hardwoods . The app does allow for you to adjust the water usage in the mopping phase but you almost need to be able to do that based on floor type. However you can rig it by programming a separate schedule for your tile floor rooms and then you can set the water usage on mopping to high for those runs. Guess I should also give props to the app because it does have quite a bit of functionality. UPDATE: MY OPINION IS COMPLETELY REVERSED. Come to find out when I did the full clean it was just too much dirt I guess in my house for it to handle it what I ended up doing was programming a schedule and do a couple of rooms at the time two or three rooms at the time or do the full house but do them as task two rooms under one task two rooms under a different task two rooms under another task and if you do that the Revo will go back and empty after each task. NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH IT CLOGGING. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PRODUCT

An entire channel for reviewing vacuums, I love the internet. Thanks for your videos!!!!!!

I have the S7 MaxV and I love it. My main complaint with Roborock is the fact that it can't empty the bin during cleaning. I have heard it's somehow a patent issue between Roomba and Roborock, but I don't understand how. My mop also isn't wetting the entire pad anymore, but it isn't the end of the world. Great video as always.

Please review the Ecovacs x2 OMNI! Thanks for your reviews, they help a lot!

Can't wait for you to compare the Dreame L20 and Ecovacs X2 Omni. Thanks for the reviews

Any info on the carpet cleaning? Half of my downstairs is carpet and would love to know which one on these is better at cleaning carpets. I've also read previously that the 7 doesn't raise its mop pad high enough and can leave carpets damp.

Love all your content and reviews! Something that would be nice is rating the company's customer service. We bought a Roborock S7 when it came out. A few months later it started having issues (Fully believe it was a lemon). I had to have it "fixed" multiple times by them. But it would be sent back and still be broken. Long story short- It is now out of warranty and unusable. Roborock has some of the best robot vacuum out there. But they have the worst customer service I've ever delt with (I'm not the only one). I feel like if someone spends $1000+ on a product the least a company could do is have good customer support.

How about making a weight based test for mopping? You spill a liquid with a certain amount of solids in in, let it dry up, mop it and then boil the dirty water from the dirty water tank, to see how much of the solids were cleaned off of the pads after one cleaning. Then weight the dried rags itself, to see how much dirty they retained vs the floor.

Love your reviews? I have a 2 floor house, does the Q revo have water deposit? Our i have to move the dockstation?

Another great video….Thank you

Which roborock for vacuum only (no mop)? I bought the Q Revo based on your videos for my top floor and it's phenomenal! Need a vacuum only for down stairs.

Great review, as always! Any plan on testing the Dreame L20 Ultra? We would like to buy it, but not without your review😁

If I do vacuum only, are the mops lifted in Qrevo?

Any comments on hair and fur pickup? Does the double roller help?

One week into ownership, the Q Revo is truly amazing. Are there more expensive models that might be a little better? Probably, but the Q Revo can hold it's own at a fraction of the price. We bought direct from Roborock for 680-10% military discount, total cost $612. Much to our surprise it successfully avoided a folded blanket we forgot to pick up, so while it's obstacle avoidance might not match models costing twice the price, it's fine if you pick up cords and such. On the plus side, it does not touch, bump, or markup walls or furniture. We even have Christmas decorations out that it successfully avoids. None of our previous Roombas or Deebots could do that. Q Revo for the win for us.

I have a dog and usually I walk around checking everywhere thst I don't have cables or w/e lying on the floor. This time I had checked but waited a bit too long to start the vaccum. My dog usually never poops on the floor but this time she did. The vaccum came to the living room where I was sitting and it smelled like poop. It had smeared poop luckily only in a small area. Cleaning the poop off the floor wasn't an issue, cleaning the robot was - as the poop got inside the wheels and the rotor thing and so on. So this time I don't want to rely on me just walking around (especially since sometimes I do start it when I'm not home) so I really want as good obstacle avoidance as I can get.

A service to the community, as always.

Please remember to test them against pet hair removal of tangled hair is a huge part of my robot vacuum experience.

What Roborock vac+mop combo would you recommend for tiled floors?

Hey thanks for getting this comparison posted!!! Target has the S7 Max Ultra minus $300 for everyone. And then there’s a “targeted” target circle promo of 5-20% more off. Mine luckily was 20% more off and with red card an additional 5% more off…it came to $759. A steal to me. Love Roborock. My S5max will be moved to the basement.

How would they go on slate floors? Where the is not perfectly flat and has tile grooves?

You want an idea for comparing mop ? I have a tile floor and it gives some nasti gray taint on the border or even the room border has a clear passage where the robot goes. All this only appears in long time of use month. My bet is the pad is push dirt to the crevasse between tiles and sometimes spreads it

Does the QRevo run into walls? My irobot scuffed all my white baseboards and I want to avoid that? Which model is best for pet hair on hard floors? Thanks so much!

Nice review!

Please add floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrors to the test suite - these vacuums have issues with those, thinking they're a giant extension of the room, and keep trying to bump into them like a fly. Adding a no-go zone or a virtual wall helps side-step the issue, but the map is still messed up.

What cleaning solution (if any) do you use in your robot? The only cleaner roborock has containes tea tree oil and I'd like to avoid using something that can make my pets sick if someone puts too much in. Their Q/A on the Amazon page is pretty useless, they just tell you to use theirs or water and refuse to suggest an alternative.

Hi. This was great! So well structured/ easy to follow! Possible to consider this case, please? Would the 2 rollers on the S8 Pro Ultra make a difference when it comes to very long hair (human hair)? Might the single roll on the Q Revo get stuck with such type of hair? Would love to know your thoughts based on your testing and knowledge. Much appreciated!

Waiting for a flagship only comparison including Ecovacs X2 omni please!

I think you have to test at min 3 samples of the same robot to get an accurate measurement of how well something picks up.. Too many tolerances.. from height range of wheel assembly to motor being slightly better or worse than next sample. Take the old S6 for example.. You rated it a bit worse, but this robot picks up better than the newer S8 for me. YMMV.

Hey, is it possible to review the new Shark Detect Pro Robot Vacuum Self Empty.

I would love to see you review the narwhal mop/ vac is there a reason you have not?

Can you do a comparison of the roborock S8 pro ultra VS the roomba combo j9+

I think one advantage of the double brush roll on the S8 you didn’t give credit for, is for pet hair. The double roll in theory should handle pet hair better and experience less tangles.

Now you have to do the Dreame L20..... That looks perfect

i would like to know why are you ranking higher the roborock s8 than the ecovacs t20 omni : ) Thank you!

S7 for almost a year. First Robo Vac and not impressed with the suction, mop capability or customer service. Stopped running for 6 months due to house changing too much and it couldn’t handle furniture and boxes being moved, kept getting lost and making random maps. I do run it daily now. It’s 3-4 hours to clean 1700 sqft. Love the vacuum lines it leaves. Refill the water every 2 days. Empty the dirty water every 4 days. Vacuum bags last 1 week. Map is a lot of work. Use no go zones for carpets it can’t handle, base of floor lamps, stands, mats, furniture it gets stuck under. False walls to help it out. Sometimes during a clean it will say it’s blocked and can’t reach a spot, then quit and go home. I pickup for each clean. I’m not sure what it avoids in real life. It eats all cords, fabric, pet toys. lol it even ran into my dog.

Q Revo Wins less moving parts and a Base that's easier to clean as compared to the others. I have watched other videos that had dogs and cleaning the brush and drain is more complicated that the Q Revo

The Ecovacs T20 omni and X2 omni need to enter the challenge. The X2 looks very interesting.

How does one have double brushes I thought only roomba has those because of the Patton

I'm using s7 max ultra and i love mine a lot except for one point that it will roll in the cables and got stuck with it (there was couple of days it got stuck to the baby monitor cable and I had to pull it out). Beside that, there is no complaints from me so far. Oh, one more thing, the map will appear more areas every week which I have no idea where are those)

Is the S8 the same as the ultra except for the wet mopping? The spec sheet suggests so?

For those of use wanting to shop for a new robot vacuum, I really want a flagship only comparison. Seems like S8 Pro Ultra may be a solid choice, but also is iRobot out of the game, how does its latest release of vacuums hold up to Roborock?

Great review!! Now how does the dyson compare to these guys? 😅

Do you think its possible that roborock is deliberately putting lesser software for obstacle avoidance on the Q5 revo to make up for the higher price of the S7/S8?

DEEBOT Omni X2 next! I want but not without your review 😅

Amazon reviews say these don't sense when bin is full. It empties dustbin only after cleaning so some folks make a complex set of schedules with each room as its own schedule so the bin will empty after completing each schedule (i.e. after each room), otherwise the robot bin fills up too fast. Your thoughts?

Super helpful video!

please make a video on the Yeedi cube robot vacuum and the Dreametech L20 ultra

What is there max climb hight my threshold is 40mm

i hope you can do a review about air fryer too

But between these and Ecovacs X2 Omni and Dreame L20 Ultra, what’s your recommendation? Thank you!

I got the s8 ultra pro today and it's gud. takes a long time to charge, tho. I can't wait to try their proprietary solution.

I've seen other reviews that say all 3 of these have poor obstacle avoidance, unlike the S7 Max V Ultra, likely due to their absence of a camera. You also didn't test pet hair pickup, important to many users.

is the Q Revo good with dog and cat fur?

This video couldn’t have come at a better time as I am currently deciding between the q revo and the s7 to replace my s4, I do have a question , my basement has dark tile and carpet with black patterns and my s4 gets totally confused, would the newer models do this as well?

well done !! include THRESHOLD tests ....

The Q Revo is listed as 3rd best overall on your website. On the list for hard floors, Ecovacs T10 Omni is 3rd. In overall Ecovacs T20 Omni was in second place. The Q Revo and Ecovacs T10 Omni are similarly priced. I have all hard floors. Would the ecovac t10 still be better than the q Revo and T20?

I have a unique question. I have 6 indoor tennis courts side by side and there is a lot of fuzz and dust buildup. It is a hard slightly rough surface. Do you think one of the robot vacuum cleaners work if I ran a couple of them throughout the night to clean the courts?

Random note here, I have a 5 year old roborock in white and it's yellowing a lot. Would recommend going black for anyone buying

The review of reviews! Thank you. I think your mopping ‘method’ is outdated. You need bigger surfaces, and compare which one cleans better eg check dirty water for example.

The structured light change is bs for privacy. I'd highly suggest watching Dennis Giese defcon 31 talk about robot vacuum privacy and security

When is the iRobot combo j9+ comparison coming out?

I just bought a Q Revo for Black Friday and after seeing some of these glowing reviews I am kinda disappointed with it. Navigation and features are more advanced than the Roomba S9 I had. Mopping is great, however the vacuuming isn't. I changed the suction level to the highest setting but it did not pick up pine needles and hairballs from our pets. The vacuum roller mouth is too narrow and got stuck with just a small leaf and half a pistachio shell it found under the table. Made a terrible grinding noise. The Roomba would have taken longer to get around but at least it cleaned decently. 😪 I am thinking the dual rollers may be better for larger debris so might try the RR S8.

Agree that the Q Revo would be a slam dunk if not for the obstacle avoidance 'issue'. I'm really wondering if it's even possible for it to be improved through software updates or if there's just something about the hardware that that prevents it from ever being improved. Would be nice if we could ever get a comment about this topic from Roborock.

How about Roborock Q10 pro? It has 7000 suction power and mop too

I would like to see a video of what the difference is between the s7 maxv ultra vs the s7 max ultra. Looks like the s7 Max has more suction power and a better dock design. But can the s7 Max vacuum in a dark room? I know the s7 maxv had a light that would turn on in a dark room so it could vacuum in a pitch dark room.

When new Roomba J9+ Combo review ?

Didn’t know the q revo applies downward pressure I wonder how much

i never suffered a whole episode of robowars. doesn't do it for me. this is my jam.

Qrevo water tank is vey small and this is something no one speaks about. This should be taken into account , especially for big houses..

Roomba J9+ please

I wish roborock kept using the bag-less system they had on the s7 self emptying base. It is such a bad idea to be forced to buy those proprietary bags over and over...

If S8 had the spinning mops, it will be the best ever

Wait you said all 3 dry the pads. I thought the older Maxv does not dry the pad unless you buy the adapter?

I'm sad they got rid of the camera in the newer models. I'm a big fan of remote piloting my S7 MaxV Ultra to yell at family members and spy on my pets.

it should be mentioned that the lidar systems has issues with floor to ceiling mirrors where it will think the reflection is another room. not sure if the s8 fixed that with its lasers.

Is there a natural cleaning agent that can be put into carpet cleaning machines, wet dry vacuum cleaners and robot vacuum cleaners and will not damage the machines? I don't want to use chemicals😊

Review Dyson 360 vis nav pls

Hi, are you going to test Dreame L20 Ultra?

the exact review im looking for and now i can convince my wife that we go to Q REVO😊😊😊

I’m going to send back a Ecovacs Deebot T10 Plus and change to Roborock. The obstacle avoidance is terrible but it’s only mid level. Shame.

You should add grout cleaning to your mopping tests, I’m thinking of getting a q revo because it might scrub into the grout better than my current s8 but I don’t want to spend the money on a guess

I just got the max ultra and we have three dogs. I feel the q revo might last me longer with less moving parts in the dock for hair to get into. It's on sale for 699 right now. You my s7 maxU for999

If anyone finds a working real s7 max ultra auto plumbing kit. Please share. The umtra maxV kit is not comoatible with the max ultra model.

The Dreame L20 Ultra needs to enter this vacuum war.

Want to see s8 ultra pro vs Omni x2

How are these compared the BEST of Deebot, X2 OMNI, T20 OMNI etc? Roborock vs Deebot wars!!!

When narwal freo review?

When will a robot vacuum climb a stair or two?

I just got the S8 Pro Ultra refurbished on EBay for $800 for those that don’t wanna shell out $1300.
