roborockS8 Pro Ultra Robot Vacuum and Mop, Auto Drying, Auto Mop Washing, Self Emptying, Self Refilling, Liftable Dual Brush & Sonic Mop, 6000Pa Suction, Obstacle Avoidance(RockDock Ultra Series)

Update from 2025 (original purchase over 2 years ago):We have not had any major issues or really even difficult minor issues with this robot. The only issues we've had have been easily solved by googling their wiki on solving, and they've all worked. We run this robot at least 3 times a week (usually daily). We'd put it on a schedule but we don't want it to encounter something random like a puddle from a spilled cup or whatnot if we're not around since we have two cheeky cats and teens.I'll cover the pros and cons since we purchased.Pros:1) Amazing suction power. We have not had any residual hair or dirt left over after the vacuum runs2) Mopping power exceeds expectations3) We've been somewhat lazy at times emptying the mopping containers and the vacuum still works just fine (meaning the dry vac, not combo)4) The app is great. I know others have complained about it, but we have not seen any issue with the app at all since purchase. We have the house mapped and we can do zone cleanups, specify areas we don't want the robot going, etc.5) Built-in AI. We have older kids and they're pretty good about picking up stuff, but at times, things might be left laying around. The vacuum learns from obstacles and avoids them.Cons (minor):1) The emptier occasionally gets stuck because of something the vacuum ate (usually during heavy shedding season with our longhaired kitty). Super easy fix...you grab your shop vac and stick the hose on the bottom where the dirt gets sucked up into the bag (where the robot docks) or you take the vacuum bag out and clear the blockage from the top where the unit sucks it from the bottom. Not difficult at all. This is probably the "biggest" minor issue we've encountered.2) Wheels getting stuck: Only once has the mop (the rear end of the robot) gotten stuck in a pressed down setting, not allowing normal vacuuming. We referred to the vendor's wiki page and immediately found the solution to manually roll the vacuum around until the mop unstuck itself from that position. Again, only happened once and was nearly immediately fixed.If you're debating whether to make a purchase from Roborock, my feedback is to choose Roborock. No, I am not paid for this review because I like to help others make good purchases. This is based on our anecdotal experience only and can't vouch for anyone else. We are in the process of building a new home and will buy another one of these units for the new place (or the next gen model).Original Review:We are on day 3 of this robot. We’ve had 5 other robots in the past, and all have had issues from the start. This one actually is incredible so far. The only feedback I have is that the mop and vac feature where it simultaneously performs both functions is not super great. We switched to a full vac and full mop and it is superb. “Buster” has made our floors clean again and it is as close to effortless as possible. Fill the clean tank and empty the dirty tank, and then ensure to inspect the robot at least once a day to make certain nothing is stuck.

This vacuum is amazing so far! In anticipation of getting it, I got myself all worked up and stressed out about setting it up. It was so easy. Step by step guide and then an app. Once you unwrap it, you plug it in and then download the app. You’ll start out mapping your house. All you need to do is connect it to your internet and then you turn it on and let it go thru your house to get the full map. It does all the work! After that you can go into each room on the map and create fake walls if you want it to avoid certain areas such as going under the bed. It got to the basement stairs and just backed up. Then I ran the first cleaning with both the vacuum and the mop with plain water. It mops and then it appears it dries as it goes. I’m not quite sure about that, but just know your floors are not soaking wet after it goes over it. No streaks and our hardwoods look beautiful! It went thru the whole house, but I noticed that it had only vacuumed one strip in the back bedroom so I was concerned. Well after it completed all of the mopping areas it went all the way back to the other side of the house and completed a full vacuum of that bedroom. Each time I think it’s going to miss a piece of fuzz or something else it goes back and gets it. I empty the dirty water bin and it’s disgusting! I can run it each day and the water is disgusting. How is that possible? Now I just added the concentrated soap that goes with it and there’s no smell at all and the water is even dirtier. You can set up schedules for vacuuming and mopping or just vacuuming. I let it run a full vacuum and mop twice a week at 10 am and then I set it on quiet mode and let it vacuum just the main areas of the house two days a week at 1 am. I love that you can pick which rooms you want done and what time. We can’t even hear it running. The vacuum seems to be pretty strong. However, I will say that on a couple areas of the living room hard wood floors, it’s not getting flush with all of the baseboards so there is a little dust remaining, but barely. So you still need to do a little bit of cleanup with maybe a swiffer. It comes with two bags for where the dirt goes when it’s emptied. I have no idea how long those will last, but I’m sure the app will tell me when it’s full. It did get hung up on one cord so far and got stuck under a chair, both times the app sends a notification. So far it’s been a great investment, which I got for $400 off during Black Friday week, so they do go on sale occasionally. Hope this review was helpful because these were some of my main questions.
