I love this vacuum, i was a bit skeptical at first because normally self mopping vacuums don’t do well, that and it’s also pricey. The vacuum self empty’s, and I included a picture on how well this does. I had a kiddo and a dog with short hair, and this thing does wonders. I think it’s worth the price, when you think about how much one would have to vacuum. Set up was easy, and battery lasts a whi Nicholas W · influenster.com

The Roborock Q8 Max+ has made cleaning effortless. It navigates smoothly rarely gets stuck and covers every corner without missing spots. I just wish it had a bigger water tank for extended mopping sessions. While no vacuum is perfect this one has cut down my cleaning time significantly making it 100% worth it. Highly recommended for a stress-free home! Anonymous · roborock.com
