S8 MaxV Ultra
no reviewer coverage yet
V3s Pro
across 4 reviews
3.2/5
Reviewers praise
  • Strong suction and airflow measured between 16 and 21 CFM outperforms expectations for its class
  • Excellent hard floor cleaning with superior crevice pickup that clears debris other robots miss
  • Picks up human and pet hair without tangling because it uses a suction nozzle instead of a brush roll
Reviewers push back
  • Narrow three-inch suction path struggles with carpet coverage and picks up only 75 percent or less on thick carpet
  • Random navigation leaves missed spots especially around obstacles like chair legs and the charging base
  • Extremely small dustbin at half a cup requires frequent emptying and uses an awkward screen-removal design
Reviewers agree the V3s Pro excels on hard floors with strong suction but struggles on carpet due to its nozzle-only design and lacks advanced navigation.
— best for: Best for people with mostly hard floors in smaller homes who need frequent light cleaning and deal with loose hair.

I've had the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra since May 2024. This unit has been nothing short of a wonderful and an incredible introduction to the robotic vacuum/mop world. I live on a small ranchette in NorthEast Wyoming (semi arid dusty windy and dry). I have two Labrador Retrievers and an English Bulldog a husband horses chickens a goat and a barn cat. All of these contribute to a very dusty dirty house Anonymous · roborock.com

I love this vacuum. It doesn't find its way back home but it works miracles hands down picking up dog hair. I have seven Chihuahua's life was a nightmare with trying to keep up with the dog hair not any more. I run it every morning while I'm getting ready for work and then when I get home 12 hrs late from work. Its the best. Gwen · walmart.com
