roborock S8 Pro Ultra Robot Vacuum and Mop, Auto Drying, Auto Mop Washing, Self Emptying, Self Refilling, Liftable Dual Brush & Sonic Mop, 6000Pa Suction, Obstacle Avoidance(RockDock Ultra Series)

They say you get what you pay for, and it's never been more true for me than with this purchase. This is my 4th robot vacuum (2 Ecovacs and 1 Roomba previously), and this one far outshines its predecessors (it also was the most expensive). But it has been worth every single penny. I have two large dogs (a St. Bernard and a Golden Retriever), and they shed like it is their JOB! All previous models got the hair tangled up in the brushes/wheels (both), or the suction wasn't strong enough to empty the bag into the base (Ecovacs), or they didn't do a great job (both) - but this one has been phenomenal. It does an amazing job picking up all debris, dirt, and dog hair, and I've had no jams at all. The brushes detangle themselves, and the main multi-directional wheel is easy to remove, so if/when hair does build up there, I can just pop it out to clean (the Roomba had this, too; Ecovacs did not). The mopping feature works really, really well and I LOVE that it dries the mop head so no smelliness. My Ecovacs (supposedly) mopped, too, but it did such a poor job that I never used the feature. Plus, it had to run separately from the vacuum (attach mopping head). This one is all built-in and does an all-in-one. It actually "lifts" the mop head out of the way when it detects carpet. The app is great; scheduling is a breeze. It doesn't "lose connection" to my network constantly (looking at you, Roomba), and it displays a very accurate map, allowing me to see just what has been vacuumed/mopped. All-in-all, I couldn't be more pleased with this product, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the best and is willing to pay the price for it. I would buy it again. No question.

I've had this vaccum for 2 years now and love it. I held off on a review until I'd had it awhile. After the first year it started having Lidar errors and then finally stopped. Had the Lidar part replaced and it's been wor,ing pretty good. We have four dogs and this little vacuum keeps their area hair free. It keeps the rest of the house looking good too.Every once in awhile it gets stuck in an area and I need to move it, and once in awhile it says the bumper is pressed when it's not, so I just move it and have it reposition and continue vacuum/ mopping.My biggest issue isn't the vacuum but my tile. My tile has little indents in it, it's the way the tile was made. Because the mop vibrates it doesn't stay on a spot long enough to lift the dirt from the indents. I have gone over the floor in these areas and very little dirt comes up, so I don't worry about it. (This is in the living room where the dogs are allowed and is the most active room in the house.This little vacuum saves me a lot of time. Now I just need a robot to dust, do the dishes and cook.

I purchased the Roborock s8 Pro Ultra in March of 2024 to replace my older model Roborock s4 Max. The s4 was a fantastic machine and made my life so much easier, until it met with an accident and I couldn't save it. We waved a fond farewell and I set out to purchase another Roborock machine.The S8 Pro Ultra looked like a great upgrade! Self emptying, even included a mop for all my tiled floors! It was billed as being especially good with pet hair due to the dual brush system.For the first 2 months it was everything it advertised. Pet hair? No problem. Mopping? Oh la la! And then the 3rd month rolled around and it all came to a screeching halt.The first issue was pet hair, left in little clumps everywhere - spit out by Max as he rolled around the house. Then it was clogged brushes. I had been cleaning them once a week, now they required daily cleaning just to avoid the error messages. And still - pet hair clumps were being left indiscriminately around the house.Mopping stopped - full stop. Oh sure, I did all the proper things to prepare it to mop, and I sent it out to do just ONE room, thinking maybe 2 rooms was too much. Nope, it didn't mop a single spot off the floor. And my floors aren't very dirty! Just a few splotches where people dripped water or coffee on the floor. I changed out the mop pad - which looked brand new. Didn't help - the thing still wasn't doing any cleaning. I tinkered, my husband tinkered. We gave up and I went back to using my steam mop.And then the floors started collecting not just pet hair, but also dust and bits of stuff. I turned the vacuum up to Turbo settings, charged it up and sent it out again - to do just ONE room. It returned, emptied and sure enough, it hadn't picked up any dirt.I tinkered. The dirt cup was completely full, as in compacted with dirt and fur. So I figured the bag in the docking station must be full, right? WRONG! It was nice and clean.Clearly this was my error. I must not have positioned the bag correctly when I replaced it in June. So I tinkered with it more. I replaced the clean, empty bag with a new bag, just in case it had a hole in it or some other issue that kept it from completing the sucking-out-the-dirt-cup mode.Ran the vacuum on my floors with totally cleaned brushes, sensors and dirt cup. It worked - mostly. Still left cat hair clumps here and there, and some toast crumbs, but the carpets looked fairly nice.It returned to the dock and did the sucking-out-the-dirt-cup thing. And then I checked the bag in the docking station. Yay, it was working and the dirt cup in the vacuum was empty! Problem solved, yes?No! I no longer use the mop feature because it just plain doesn't work anymore. And I clean the brushes daily. And I have to manually clean out the dirt cup every third use. Because the empty mode only works for 3 days before it just makes a lot of noise and pretends that it's working.This $1500 (price when I purchased it) piece of technology has flaws. It needs a LOT of R&D and a redesign before it will be fit to be sold as a vacuum, let alone a mopping system.Save yourself the migraine sized headache and opt for one of their cheaper models. Sure, you'll have to empty the dirt cup yourself and you won't be able to mop floors with it, but you also won't be pulling your hair out and cussing at the machine every other day!
