How this is made

Reviewers praise
  • The all-in-one dock automatically empties the dustbin, refills and washes the mop pad, and dries it, making the system nearly hands-free over extended periods.
  • VibraRise 2.0 mopping module with dual vibrating elements delivers noticeably better stain and dried-spill removal compared to the previous generation.
  • Mop pad lifts clear of carpet, allowing combined vacuuming and mopping of mixed-floor homes in a single run without wetting rugs.
Reviewers push back
  • Stretched or loose wires remain a consistent weak point — the robot frequently tangles its side brush or suction rolls on them regardless of sensor setup.
  • Removal of the RGB camera eliminates the remote home-monitoring function present on the previous generation, and at least one reviewer found obstacle avoidance slightly worse as a result.
  • Carpet deep-cleaning suction and airflow tested lower than expected for the stated power rating, with mixed results in embedded-debris tests across reviewers.
A highly capable robot vacuum and mop with an exceptional all-in-one dock, strong mopping performance, and solid navigation, held back by inconsistent obstacle avoidance on wires and a dual-brush system that delivers less carpet deep-cleaning improvement than expected.
— best for: Owners of mixed hard-floor and carpeted homes who want a near-autonomous cleaning routine with minimal manual emptying, refilling, or mop maintenance.

On S8 Pro Ultra: Obstacle avoidance quality relative to the prior generation divides reviewers: one found it worse (more cord tangles), while another's standardized tests scored it equal to or slightly better than before.

Took advantage of the sale to add my 3rd VisNav to our home. Killer feature is ability to just drop it in a room, close the door and it vacs the whole space, then texts you when it's done. I don't care about mopping. The bin only needs emptying after every 4-5 uses. The app is quite good and intuitive. The unit is very well built. Love the full-length brush bar that makes quick work of the job. Ru miknet · dysoncanada.ca

The only vacuum cleaner with a brain, and the only robot vacuum cleaner that actually does what it was designed to do to do. We bought and returned the other robot vacuum cleaner because they just zip in every direction, stupid and no why to know for sure everything was cleaned. Not only does RoboRock Vacuums clean in straight uniform lines they show you in the app. Pets? we have 3 dogs, they all RRien07 · us.roborock.com
