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)

Update from 2025 (original purchase over 2 years ago): We have not had any major issues or really even difficult minor issues with this robot. The only issues we've had have been easily solved by googling their wiki on solving, and they've all worked. We run this robot at least 3 times a week (usually daily). We'd put it on a schedule but we don't want it to encounter something random like a puddle from a spilled cup or whatnot if we're not around since we have two cheeky cats and teens. I'll cover the pros and cons since we purchased. Pros: 1) Amazing suction power. We have not had any residual hair or dirt left over after the vacuum runs 2) Mopping power exceeds expectations 3) We've been somewhat lazy at times emptying the mopping containers and the vacuum still works just fine (meaning the dry vac, not combo) 4) The app is great. I know others have complained about it, but we have not seen any issue with the app at all since purchase. We have the house mapped and we can do zone cleanups, specify areas we don't want the robot going, etc. 5) Built-in AI. We have older kids and they're pretty good about picking up stuff, but at times, things might be left laying around. The vacuum learns from obstacles and avoids them. Cons (minor): 1) The emptier occasionally gets stuck because of something the vacuum ate (usually during heavy shedding season with our longhaired kitty). Super easy fix...you grab your shop vac and stick the hose on the bottom where the dirt gets sucked up into the bag (where the robot docks) or you take the vacuum bag out and clear the blockage from the top where the unit sucks it from the bottom. Not difficult at all. This is probably the "biggest" minor issue we've encountered. 2) Wheels getting stuck: Only once has the mop (the rear end of the robot) gotten stuck in a pressed down setting, not allowing normal vacuuming. We referred to the vendor's wiki page and immediately found the solution to manually roll the vacuum around until the mop unstuck itself from that position. Again, only happened once and was nearly immediately fixed. If you're debating whether to make a purchase from Roborock, my feedback is to choose Roborock. No, I am not paid for this review because I like to help others make good purchases. This is based on our anecdotal experience only and can't vouch for anyone else. We are in the process of building a new home and will buy another one of these units for the new place (or the next gen model). Original Review: We are on day 3 of this robot. We’ve had 5 other robots in the past, and all have had issues from the start. This one actually is incredible so far. The only feedback I have is that the mop and vac feature where it simultaneously performs both functions is not super great. We switched to a full vac and full mop and it is superb. “Buster” has made our floors clean again and it is as close to effortless as possible. Fill the clean tank and empty the dirty tank, and then ensure to inspect the robot at least once a day to make certain nothing is stuck.

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 bought the device because of its LIDAR navigation and top of the line coswt. I read the manuals and learned the diagrams of all parts and their maintenance intervals. The roborock app did not recognize my wireless network but the MiHome app did and mapped my rooms. I elevated all the chairs in the house during the mapping then I vacuumed all the carpeted areas and mopped the wood floors with the device. The dust bin in the device was absolutely clean, containing no dust. The filter in the dust bin was clean and looked new. The dust bag in the large plastic container in the mothership was empty after emptying the robot bin using the app. The dirty water container contained essentially clean water after emptying the robot. The wood floors were still dirty. I called roborock tech support. The were utterly incompetent and obstructionist. They first sent me a text message "to confirm I could receive text messages." I asked why they couldn't send a troubleshooting text message as their first message? They said this is their protocol. Then they sent me a troubleshooting text. In it they asked me to crumble crumbs on the floor and take a video of the robot passing over the crumbs and send it to them. I said why couldn't they just walk me through troubleshooting steps. They hung-up on me. I called back and got a different representative. I asked them to walk me through troubleshooting steps. They said they couldn't help me and had to transfer me back to the first representative because that is their protocol. I objected. They wouldn't budge. I returned the device. It didn't work at all. I wasted a whole day. Very frustrating. Bad support and non-functioning device.

This vacuum is amazing so far! In anticipation of getting it, I got myself all worked up and stressed out about setting it up. It was so easy. Step by step guide and then an app. Once you unwrap it, you plug it in and then download the app. You’ll start out mapping your house. All you need to do is connect it to your internet and then you turn it on and let it go thru your house to get the full map. It does all the work! After that you can go into each room on the map and create fake walls if you want it to avoid certain areas such as going under the bed. It got to the basement stairs and just backed up. Then I ran the first cleaning with both the vacuum and the mop with plain water. It mops and then it appears it dries as it goes. I’m not quite sure about that, but just know your floors are not soaking wet after it goes over it. No streaks and our hardwoods look beautiful! It went thru the whole house, but I noticed that it had only vacuumed one strip in the back bedroom so I was concerned. Well after it completed all of the mopping areas it went all the way back to the other side of the house and completed a full vacuum of that bedroom. Each time I think it’s going to miss a piece of fuzz or something else it goes back and gets it. I empty the dirty water bin and it’s disgusting! I can run it each day and the water is disgusting. How is that possible? Now I just added the concentrated soap that goes with it and there’s no smell at all and the water is even dirtier. You can set up schedules for vacuuming and mopping or just vacuuming. I let it run a full vacuum and mop twice a week at 10 am and then I set it on quiet mode and let it vacuum just the main areas of the house two days a week at 1 am. I love that you can pick which rooms you want done and what time. We can’t even hear it running. The vacuum seems to be pretty strong. However, I will say that on a couple areas of the living room hard wood floors, it’s not getting flush with all of the baseboards so there is a little dust remaining, but barely. So you still need to do a little bit of cleanup with maybe a swiffer. It comes with two bags for where the dirt goes when it’s emptied. I have no idea how long those will last, but I’m sure the app will tell me when it’s full. It did get hung up on one cord so far and got stuck under a chair, both times the app sends a notification. So far it’s been a great investment, which I got for $400 off during Black Friday week, so they do go on sale occasionally. Hope this review was helpful because these were some of my main questions.

I waited for about 6 weeks to write this review because sometimes, a product works well at first but the more you use it the more you find its flaws! This vacuum is amazing! I have 3 dogs and 3 kids and this vacuum helps keep me sane. I run the vacuum and mop 4 days a week and just the vacuum 2 days. The other day I sweep and mop myself. Pros: * Easy to set up and quickly mapped out my house. * Takes very little maintenance. Just fill clean water and empty the dirty water every 3 or 4 days. I had a Shark combo robot previously and it couldn't even get thru 1 cleaning without me having to manually add water. If you leave the dirty water any longer than that it will smell. I didn't notice it from the machine but when you empty it, you will smell it. It has been 6 weeks and I have just today emptied the debris bag and I have 2 Aussies and a Golden Retriever that shed A LOT. * It really maintains itself, cleaning mop head every 15 minutes and self empties its dust bin. The Shark vacuum only self empties the dust bin if you are only vacuuming. If you are using the combo vacuum/mop, EVERYTHING is manual for the Shark. Roborock rocks with this feature. I do not have to do ANYTHING for days. * App is easy to use and makes suggestions for no go zones. * I can see what the vacuum is doing or any errors thru the app and sometimes can clear them remotely. Cons * Expensive but I think well worth the price * Like others have said, has a difficult time with cords, however, I bought cord organizers with boxes and ties from Amazon and fixed this issue. * Sometime gets stuck on my rug but usually I just start it again remotely and it unsticks itself I was worried about spending so much for a vacuum/mop but I am in love with this. I have had other robot vacuums and mops and this one is head and shoulders about the others. I did NOT get anything for free either. I paid full price for my Roborock.

I have had this since release date. These are far more superior to the other more familiar brand names. Navigation is top notch and so is the ability for it to avoid what life may bring. My name brand unit would find charger cords or dog bones, even get stuck on thresholds or fail to dock all the time. My house is particularly hard for bots to work around between 3 dogs, a cat, and 2 almost teens. This bot may find life’s accidents every so often but the other brand was multiple times a day. The mop pad and how it gets washed is way better than the other bot mops we have had. It can turn a muddy floor from dogs into a clean and shiny floor. You will need to still swap the pad every so often and wash it. Why 4 star and not 5? The S8 auto empty has some bad angles in the base, it gets clogged very easily. Ok, not an issue I will just manually empty it if it needs…. Unlike the competitors this bot will not tell you when the bin on the bot is full, nor will it tell you if the base is clogged. I check my unit every 3 days to make sure nothing is clogged. Just for info, the Soros doesn’t have the same base clogging issue but if the bot bin is full it will not alarm. The app will tell you every time the bot starts, every time it goes back to charge, even sometimes when it avoids obstacles, which you can’t turn those off without turning off all notifications. The app has never alerted me that maintenance is needed unless I open the app. I want to know when something is broke or needs maintained, I don’t need to know the bot has started every cycle. Even on max suction this bot will those small items like kitty litter instead of vacuuming them up. It does ok and get some, but if you also have it set to mop it will make kitty litter mush or streaks. So, I keep it out of that area. Last note, have latex gloves, the basin that washes the mop gets nasty and need manual cleaning. Better here than on my floor but still, needs cleaned. It’s gross.

I absolutely love my Roborock Vacuum and Mop! It has been a total game changer for me—especially as a grandmother of two little girls who love to play on the floor. Before I had this amazing device, I was spending at least 30 minutes a day vacuuming and mopping just to keep the floors clean and safe for them. That added up quickly and became exhausting. Now, thanks to the Roborock, my floors stay consistently clean with hardly any effort on my part. It vacuums and mops in one go, navigating around furniture with ease and returning to its base when it's done. I can relax or focus on other things—like spending quality time with my granddaughters—while it quietly does the work. If you're a busy parent or grandparent like me, this little machine is absolutely worth the investment. It's reliable, smart, and honestly, one of the best home purchases I've made in years.

It's expensive. However, it's worth the price. At our house, we're all either working full-time jobs or going to school. As a modern labor-saving device, I think it's worth it. The Roborock S8 exceeded my expectations. We have only been using it for about two weeks. It cleaned the floor better than I anticipated. We usually ditch the shoes at the front door. We can now easily walk around in warm socks or bare-footed and it's clean. Our floor is faux wood composite laminate. The Roborock did great with this floor, even getting the edges at the baseboards with its little sweeper brush. It did struggle with rugs. We have a mixture of thin polyester rugs at the home entrances and higher-quality wool rugs inside the living areas. Roborock sucks up the cheap rugs and takes a minute to figure out the higher wool rugs. Once it got on the wool rugs, it did a good job. Going to buy double-stick tape for the thin rugs. It's smart. It went under the couch and found my missing flipflop. Reported it on the app. It also told on the dog when she investigated too closely. The setup was super easy. Get your home in order and hit the quick mapping function. Roborock did an admirable job of mapping the floor plan. It got confused by a mirror. It sees it as a "closet".
