roborock S8+ Robot Vacuum, Sonic Mop with Self-Empty Dock, Stores up to 60-Days of Dust, Auto Lifting Mop, Ultrasonic Carpet Detection, 6000Pa Suction, White

I own this Roborock 8+ and a Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum. This Roborock simply doesn't pick up all the dirt on the laminate floors and incompletely covers the entire rooms that it maps. As such, it consistently leaves lent, crumbs and other dirt after a cleaning. Also, it doesn't empty itself into the disposable bag in the unit effectively and you have to empty the units plastic container yourself. In comparison, the Shark thoroughly mapped and vacuumed all the dirt and went over much of the areas multiple times getting all the dirt. It also took the same lint, dirt and dog hair and emptied it effectively into the base unit whereas the Roborock consistently does not. I wouldn't buy another Roborock but intend buy another Shark to replace the Roborock. Unfortunately, before testing the Roborock I gave the Shark to a friend as a favor thinking the Roborock would work Ok. I'm happy I gave it to a friend but I wish I'd given them the Roborock now ha Oh, well, live and learn. I do like the Roborock cell phone application, however, but the dang vacuum under performs. The Roborock folks contacted me in a very helpful and friendly manner concerning my original 2 star rating. They asked for specifics and photos. From that we were able to get the vacuum set up for my country/small town greater dirt load and dog hair conditions. Their customer service was superb and they gave me solutions to the issues I was experiencing. I find the Roborock 8+ to be an excellent unit and it keeps the home sparkling! Thank you Roborock!!

Ok - brief update 3 months now since the purchase: I love that vacuum! Now where I understand most of the app and the abilities of this robot (it took a while, seems I am not the sharpest blade in the cabinet) - I am so impressed. We use it right now at a house we will move into soon. We are already bringing boxes in, which are sitting on the floor and occasionally some furniture. So the obstacles are constantly changing. The robot is quite excellent in recognizing new items, large or small on its once programmed in map and navigating as much floor as possible while avoiding the new items. We also have a dog and sometimes already friends over with dogs. The vacuum gets most of the dog hair out of the carpets nicely (can't see much of it even when looking for it, lying on my belly on the floor). Sometimes I have to set it on the high suction setting and then it gets visibly (visible in the dust bin only) a lot more out. The mop function similarly - after we had guests I set it on the "high" water dispensing. Also nice - I can just set the rooms up with whatever they usually need, like the living room gets the high vacuum setting and the kitchen the high water mop setting. It automatically applies those. Oh - one more thing - since the documentation said one can not use any cleaning fluids but should only use water - I found the Roborock cleaning fluid which is labeled to work with all Roborock vacuums. And used it - hopefully this won't do any damage. But I do mix sessions with just water in (non chlorinated water, I'd think the regular chlorinated tap water might be more corrosive). So far so good. Overall - I don't want to live without this vacuum any more :-) *************************************************** Update from the first review: Initially I was a bit miffed because the vacuum can only connect to a 2.4GHz router signal but not the 5GHz, or one of the new ones where the router selects this automatically. I had the latter and had to purchase a new router. Ok. Now the robot works and is very impressive. It took a while to figure the app out, some clicks are not as intuitive as one would hope and there are not easy written instructions (did not want to watch YouTube videos, who has the time for that?). Anyways - I got it after a few wrong attempts. The app has everything one needs and allows to remotely steer the robot to do the cleaning or let it clean on a schedule. Once can also set the strength of the vacuuming and amount of water used for mopping - it all works as advertised. It cleans very nicely and the room even looks clean afterwards. It self empties and also empties upon request in the app. It all works. Hopefully for a long time - I love the machine!

While this item can mop and vacuum, I have only used it to vacuum. The positives are the mapping and the camera. The camera makes mapping very fast and also identifies items on the floor to tell you why it may have circumvented some areas. Pet symbols, shoe symbols, etc show you why it may have missed that spot. I have a room with a safety fence for which I keep the door open, but it can see there is a portion of room there that wasn't vacuumed. Because it does some real-time mapping, there is no need to "re-map" if you need to move the base as it will figure out where it is. On wood or hard floors it is rather quiet, but the sound ramps up on carpet (even runners). You can set a schedule in advance and it suggests various routines to you such as mopping or vacuuming your kitchen after dinner. The zoning works well so I can vacuum a different set of rooms on different days. In between I can just pick a portion of our home and ask it to only vacuum that area (like around our cat's litter box). While it does say it can avoid pet messes so the wheels don't "spread", that only seems to work if there is a big difference in color and shape. For example, it didn't avoid the hairball and puke on our tan carpet, but it did vacuum it up which caked up the rollers. For this reason, I would still check around the house if you have pets. I have chosen to not use the mop feature because it seems to only use water. That's not really mopping to me. I would rather use a gentle cleaner and actually clean rather than just spread water around a floor. I really didn't buy this for mopping though so it isn't a huge negative. My only negative is there is a bag in the base it empties into and there is no function that can tell you when it is close to full. Because of this my entire unit clogged (from vacuum through to the bag) and I couldn't even remove the bag properly. I had to cut the bag out, remove debris in collecting unit piping just to be able to remove the plastic fitting for the bag itself. I understand they may want to use the same software for multiple units, but even a reminder to check the bag after a set number of uses would be helpful. Otherwise, after having 3 Roombas this brand and model are definitely worth the price and I'd gladly buy again.

The most important thing to factor in while choosing a robot vacuum is to see if it can easily navigate around your house without running into any issues. This means you should avoid robot vacuums that don't have LIDAR technology, like iRobot, which often gets stuck, can't reach certain areas because of weird nonsensical reasons and doesn’t work if the room isn’t well lit (eg. during nights). Thankfully, the Roborock S8+ is a great choice because it has LIDAR technology. Not only does the Roborock S8+ have good navigation capabilities, but it also has other useful features that make it the ultimate vacuum cleaner. It has strong suction power, an automatic empty dock, and the ability to vacuum and mop at the same time. It's a complete cleaning solution. Plus, this robot vacuum is very durable and will last for many years. While the ultra version may have more advanced features, in my honest opinion, the Roborock S8+ is a good investment that meets all your cleaning needs.

After purchasing an S8+ for downstairs, we liked it so much that we bought another one for our second floor. This one, after 8 months, has broken down with the Lidar system no longer working in spite of our performing the fix recommended. Before failing it was a great vacuum. It never had a hard time as it is a second floor vac in our 1200 sq ft home. We will try to get relief from the manufacturer. I regret not purchasing the vac from Costco which has an easy return/replace or refund.

Terrible with dog hair, fairly clears bin when done

The good: Vacuum is ok to barely decent, but pretty weak. Good on hard floors, doesn't do much on carpet at all. The ap is pretty great though, and well done. The bad: The mopping feature is more of just 'nice idea' and doesn't really do anything. Equivalent to lightly dragging a damp paper towel along the floor. Also, this model uses the ancient technique of vacuum dust bags, so you'll be buying these from them FOREVER. Overall, for the price point, not worth it. Better units or at least equal to this at $200 - 300 Price point.

This is my third robotic vacuum purchase and I finally found the perfect one! It is quiet. It is efficient. It is easy to clean. Most importantly the app is so easy to use! I have recommended this vacuum to a number of pet owning friends for context I have three dogs. All three shed profusely. To our long hair one is not. I do have to perform regular maintenance because of the long dog hair, but that is with any of the robotic or non-robotic vacuums.

Respecto a roomba mejora increíblemente su mapeado de una casa y la facilidad de mandarle donde se desea

Aspira y limpia los pisos excelente? Llevo con él una semana y no presenta problemas para la limpieza en pisos de mármol y con las alfombras, también es muy fácil de configurar y que inicie con sus actividades muy buen producto

Propaganda de la aspiradora dice que se auto limpia y simplemente no lo hace en la mopa, se llena de suciedad y así va mopeando todo el piso haciendo que huela a tierra y manchas en él. Es una lástima que el robot no venga siquiera con una muestra de limpiador para comprobar la eficacia de la limpieza. En primera instancia no se puede probar el mopeado al recibir el robot...

La funcion de lavado no es tan buena, pero el aspirado es increible
