Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

Roborock's S8 MaxV Ultra is a high-end robot vacuum and mop with the RockDock Ultra for dust emptying, mop washing, heated drying, refilling and dock self-cleaning. It combines lidar mapping, Reactive AI obstacle recognition, an extending side brush and 10,000 Pa suction for mature hands-off floor maintenance.

RobotWise verdict

A strong premium pick if you want the dock to handle most routine maintenance. It is still a floor-maintenance robot, not a replacement for occasional deep cleaning or decluttering.

  • +Pet households
  • +Multi-room homes
