Roborock has released exciting new variants of their popular S8 Max and S8 MaxV Ultra robot vacuums featuring an innovative refill and draining system that connects directly to the home’s interior plumbing. This hands-free experience is designed to provide a seamless and hygienic cleaning process and to ensure that the robot vacuum always operates at peak performance.
Advanced Plumbing Integration
Unlike traditional docking stations, which require users to manually fill clean water tanks and empty dirty ones, these new variants handle water intake and disposal automatically through the home’s plumbing system, much like the operation of dishwashers or washing machines. By removing the need for manual intervention, the new system significantly reduces maintenance efforts, ensuring a more seamless and convenient user experience. Additionally, these features also eliminate the need for water storage, making the docking stations more compact and low-profile.
Retained Functionality with New Enhancements
These enhanced models retain all the functionality of the S8 Max Ultra and S8 MaxV Ultra robot vacuums that were launched earlier this year. Full details about their differences and features can be found in our comprehensive Vacuum Wars review here or on our YouTube review.
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is an advanced robot vacuum and mop combo that offers exceptional hands-free cleaning with its fully automated refill and drainage system via the upgraded RockDock Ultra. This docking station not only empties the dustbin but also washes the mop pad with hot water, dries it with hot air, refills the water tank, and includes an auto detergent dispenser, significantly reducing manual maintenance. The S8 MaxV Ultra features 8000Pa suction power and a VibraRise 3.0 mopping system with dual vibrating pads that lift higher than previous models, preventing wet pads from contacting carpets. Its Flexi-Arm side brush extends automatically to clean edges and corners effectively. Intelligent navigation is achieved through PreciSense LiDAR and a front-mounted camera for Reactive 3D Obstacle Avoidance, which also enables pet care features like targeted pet area cleaning, monitoring, and video calls via the Roborock app. While its comprehensive features make it one of the best automated floor cleaning systems available, the premium price point is a notable drawback, making it one of the most expensive options on the market.
