Finally someone reviewing the Plus version! I think you're literally the first in depth reviewer of the S8+. I've been searching months for a video like this. Thank you so much for the effort! I'm now actually thinking about buying the S7+ as repairability and the bagless option are something I like. I have been waiting for the S8+ due to the dual roller (thank you expired patent). But I'm now not so sure if that outweighs the other cons. 🤔

Great run down on the naming convention, made much more sense laid out like that. I'm a huge fan of hands off operation and have become a convert to the mopping (used to think it was a gimmick), so I guess I'd have to go for the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. Not a fan of the fixed tank/mop, but the autoclean/dry dock is a must have. Having to flip the robot to change the pads looks to be a PITA though. I believe there is a plumbing addon for the Ultra that autofills and empties the clean/dirty water tanks, which sounds really cool but I have no idea where I would fit that in my house :) Re the mopping change of heart - I recently got a Dreame Z10 Pro (awesome vacuum), it just has a little onboard tank with an electric pump which I initially dismissed. Tried it out and was surprised by the shine it added to the floors - run it once a week now on deep moppingx2 (does a criss-cross). Not going to get deep stains off, but it gets the dust and sparkle done nicely. My ultimate preference would be the Dreame L10S Ultra - auto cleaning fluid adding to the water and the dock seems better to me, better cleaning of the rotating mops and the docking station mop tray is easier to clean.

@RobomateTV 10 ай бұрын

Just fyi - you don't need to flip the robot to get the mopping pads off. You can just slide it out. Pedantic point. L10S Ultra is a pretty nice unit too.

@@RobomateTV OMG I love it! It's like having another person around to help you do the vacuuming and mopping! I have been cleaning everywhere! :D There are a few things that could be improved but minor things only. Like, they could put a sensor (?) in the base station so the robot doesn't have to perform location dances before returning to base. When I put the robot down in front of the base station I would expect it to locate it immediately but that never happens. The robot also, for some strange reason, in our kitchen, doesn't clean in 1, and only 1 corner of the kitchen (about a 20 by 30 cm square) and there is no easy way to ADD space to the map (that I know). The software is really good but I would like it to be a little more granular/precise so that I can clearly see walls etc., for more precise editing. Adding a no-go zone around our cats' eating area has been a little tricky. Also, we have some hight differences and threshold transitions between a couple of rooms that are challenging for the robot so a better front wheel (?) might help in those situations - it would be great if the software could recognise that and adjust to it so it doesn't then continue to stumble over that area when it's cleaning. All-in-all, a great product that has exceeded my expectations! Thanks again for the great analysis on your channel! :D

Hello, from Norway. Thank you for helping me to choose. I bought my very first robot last week. I choose the S8. Now, after a week I want to change it to S8+. I don't like to empty the vacuum ;) My parents, 84 years old, also bought their first robot, the same day as me. They are very happy with the S8. I will return my S8 to the store, and get a new one. If I had more money to spend I have definitely bought the Ultra.
