Over the past few years, Roborock has made a good name for itself, claiming the No.1 spot for robotic vacuum sales worldwide. The company launched the Roborock S8 Max Series of robot vacuum cleaners this year, and these bundle a series of clever and innovative features. More importantly, these robot vacuum cleaners have strong suction power and boast 100% corner coverage and high-speed scrubbing.
The S8Max Series of robot vacuum cleaners comprises two devices — S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra.
So, if you hate cleaning up your home manually and want a modern (and intelligent) solution, here’s everything you need to know about the Roborock S8 Max series vacuum cleaners.
1. Efficient Corner-to-Edge Cleaning
One of the main focus points of the S8 Max series vacuum cleaners is the corner-to-edge cleaning capacity and the intelligent detection features. The former is made possible by the FlexiArm Design, which extends the side brush automatically when it detects a corner and low areas under furniture. In fact, the S8 MaxV Ultra has 100% corner coverage.
Thanks to the rotating edge mop, it can effectively clean edges in addition to corners. Furthermore, these robotic vacuum cleaners can also adapt to the situation. For example, if a particular spot is messy, the S8 MaxV Ultra will boost the suction power to tackle the situation.
And there’s more to the story. The S8 MaxV Ultra packs an RGB camera and a 3D structured light that helps the robot vacuum cleaner sense obstacles in its path and avoid them. This translates into easy and carefree cleaning, as you do not have to actively monitor the vacuum’s path.
Above all, it comes with a pet recognition system. As soon as the vacuum cleaner senses a pet in its path, it stops its main brush and moves aside (and not frightening your furry friend in the process). Additionally, the vacuum cleaner can sense pet supplies. As such, it can boost the suction power and clean the area accordingly.
2. Cleaning Beyond Limits
The Roborock S8 Max Series vacuum cleaners offer several advantages, including strong suction power. The company claims suction power of 10,000Pa and 8,000Pa for the S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra, respectively. Needless to say, the strong suction power means this cleaner will effectively pick up dust and dirt, making it easy to clean your house.
Both S8 Max devices are wet and dry vacuum cleaners. In fact, they are accompanied by 4,000 times/minute high-speed scrubbing, which results in cleaner floors in a short time.
The strong suction power and high-speed scrubbing are further accompanied by an intelligent navigation system. Roborock’s PreciSense LIDAR navigation system helps the vacuum cleaner create a detailed map around your house to determine the most efficient path, thus saving time.
3. Smart Self-maintenance
The tagline ‘robotic vacuum cleaner’ holds true only when the vacuum cleaner in question can clean itself. Thankfully, the Roborock robotic vacuum cleaners stand tall in this claim. The RockDock Ultra base is smart and can help the gadgets automatically empty their dustbags, refill the water tank, or dispense detergent.
This reduces the manual intervention and hassles associated with this task. Plus, the intelligent dirt detection system ensures that the mop is clean and doesn’t stay dirty.
Notably, the S8 Max series vacuum cleaners are accompanied by a dock self-cleaning mechanism. As such, you don’t have to worry about debris collecting under the dock’s base or the dock developing mold and odor over time.
4. Auto-Replenishing Capacity
The Roborock S8 Max series vacuum cleaners take the essence of robotic cleaning even further with its Auto water drain and refill features. Note that this variant must be connected to your house’s drainage system.
With that in place, the vacuum cleaners will automatically refill the water tank with clean water and drain the dirty water from the system.
Naturally, this saves you a ton of time and energy from redundant work every day. Nonetheless, all these features would mean little if the mop in question remains dirty. Thankfully, the S8 Max series vacuum cleaners come equipped with hot water mop washing tech that helps remove tough stains.
This, in turn, ensures that the mop doesn’t leave stains on floors during your next clean-up session.
5. Built-in Voice Assistant
Yes, you read that right. The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vacuum cleaners come with a built-in voice assistant. So, if you want to start the cleaning process or empty the dust bag, all you need to do is say “Hello, Rocky,” followed by the command. Interestingly, you can issue voice commands even without a Wi-Fi connection.
Plus, you get third-party voice controls, all thanks to the compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Siri.
6. Carpet Cleaning Prowess
The Roborock S8 Max Series vacuum cleaners are designed to efficiently deep clean carpets. Whenever the cleaners detect a carpet, they will give you a few options — Clean, Avoid, or vacuum only specific parts.
At the same time, the vacuum cleaners come equipped with DuoRoller Riser Brush and Carpet Boost System. These factors, in turn, work to boost the cleaning efficacy. Further, the mop can lift 20mm, thus preventing the carpet from getting wet during the cleaning process.
7. Check on Your Home & Pets
The S8 MaxV Ultra also comes with video calling features, allowing you to check on your home or pets. You can also schedule or run cruises from your phone to keep a tab on your house.
