![]() Plus, furniture can be added to rooms, such as sofas, dining tables and beds. Maps can also be edited, adding no-go and no-mop zones, with carpet highlighted automatically thanks to the carpet sensor. First, the map is split into rooms, with the software doing a great job of working out the split automatically, although I could manually override the settings. It’s the customisation options that really help. ![]() Multiple maps can be saved, and the robot will automatically position itself and work out where it is and which map should be used. Thanks to accurate LiDAR scanning, the S8 Pro quickly generates an accurate map of its surroundings. I’d ideally like the new lift system, which will suit most homes, plus the option to physically remove the mop bracket.Īs well as the new lift, the VibraRise 2.0 system now has a wider sonically vibrated area on the pad, for more intense scrubbing.Īs with previous models, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra has one of the best apps in the business. There’s a greater degree of lift on this mop than with the S7 model, but it’s not quite enough if you’ve got deeper pile carpets or rugs. With this system, the mop can be lifted up when in vacuum-only mode, when carpet cleaning and when returning to dock, with the idea that it keeps the wet cloth off the floor when it’s not needed. Roborock’s VibraRise 2.0 system comes into play. And, as the bracket has velcro on it, removing the washcloth leaves a rough edge behind. The cloth can be removed, but not the physical bracket itself. This is the first Roborock robot vacuum cleaner that I’ve seen where the mop bracket is not removable. On this model, the brushes can be lifted off the floor, which the vacuum cleaner does in mop-only mode and when it’s returning to dock after cleaning, preventing stains from being dragged across the clean floor. Similar to the brushes used on the iRobot j7+, these brushes are designed to pick up dirt, while avoiding getting hair tangled in them. ![]() Rather than a single brush, there are now two rubber ones that spin in alternate directions.

On the S8 Ultra, they’re a little hard to reach while the robot is charging, although I still appreciate the ability to quickly start cleaning without having to reach for my phone and the Roborock app. This robot has three buttons on top: power / start a clean mop only and return to dock. Image Credit (Trusted Reviews)įrom the top, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra robot vacuum cleaner looks very similar to previous models that I’ve reviewed, with a LiDAR bump on top, which is used for fast and accurate mopping. You probably won’t need to do that, but the bin is worth taking out monthly, so that the filter inside can be cleaned. The S8 can be emptied manually, if required. This dock takes disposable bags, which hold 1.8-litres of dirt, which should work out to around six weeks’ worth of dust. ![]() As with the previous model, the S7 must do a bit of manoeuvring to use the dock: it goes in one way for emptying and water refilling, but has to come out and turn around to charge. This dock is more like the one on the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni.Īs well as emptying the robot, the dock cleans the mopping pad, with the motorised stiff brush, and then uses warm air to dry it, preventing smells and odour build up. With the previous model, the two water tanks (one for used water, one for clean) and the bin were more on display with this model, the tanks drop out of sight, giving a cleaner finish. Here, Roborock has improved the overall design and has made the new dock a little neater to look at. Similar to the S7 MaxV Ultra, the S8 Pro Ultra ships with an all-in-one charging, self-emptying and cleaning dock. The S8 Pro Ultra, which I have here, is the top of the range model. The S8+ ships with an auto emptying dock. The regular S8 is a mopping robot that ships with a standard charging dock. There are three versions of the Roborock S8, all of which have the same physical robot.
