A good review as allways. I saw the x2 omni in the background. Looking forward to that review, although it probably still having issues with the app and software.
Jamie, thanks for the video. Does the Q8Max dual roller assembly housing able to move up and down to get better contact with the surface? For reference The Q5 single roller housing does move up and down slightly to adapt and get a beter "seal" with the ground.. 0:51
I don't have any issues with a combined dust bin and water tank. A cap seals a water tank very well, and it doesn't leak when I empty a dust bin. Thanks for all the tests and videos! Based on your reviews I think Q Revo is the best robot vacuum even if not to take the price into account. Probably would be my next robot vacuum.
Thanks for the feedback! The Q Revo is very impressive, but I have heard that pet owners have struggled with the unique to Roborock auto empty system they use on that one.
@@jamie.andrews I have 2 large dogs that go in and out through the pet door many times a day. They bring home a lot of sand and other messes on their paws and shed a lot of hair. I have no problem with the Revo, I love it, it's just perfect.
Thanks for the review Jamie! Any plans for reviewing Q5 Pro + in near future? As per the comparison chart at Roborock website the only difference between Q5 Pro and Q8 Max is Object avoidance with slight difference in the dust bin volume and water tank volume. I am looking at Q5 Pro to use in a floor with mostly carpet so mopping is not a must. However I don’t see much reviews available for Q5 Pro. Considering same specs would you recommend Q5 Pro or Q8 Max? Object avoidance is not a problem and no pets.
Hi, in one of your videos you mentioned robot, that was very popular back in the days, like it was bought by many, many people because it was so good. I think it was roborock s5, s50, or s55. Do you remember which one was that? I just want to see what made this robot be so good
Well technically the Q8 Max is above the Q7 with feature like dual rollers and obstacle avoidance. The Plus means it has an auto empty station. If you don't need dual rollers or obstacle avoidance the Q7 should be fine. Here is my review on the Q7 Max Plus ruclips.net/video/aH8DOVjX26A/видео.htmlsi=gPQ6Ch2-MCKCg7Ib
The S8 Plus has a better obstacle avoidance system. It has a slightly smaller dust bin tho. Also S8 has VibraRise where it vibrates and lifts the pad up
Hey man i have a question how big is the difference of the q7 max plus vs the q8 max plus ? Atm i can get them for the same price, should choose the q8 over the q8 over the q7
I hope their next flagship is gonna be super impressive!!! They better not make the VibraRise non-removable, ss well as the water tank!!! Hopefully they also oadd Auto-Empty dock intervals! I see you also have the deebot X2?
I hope they do something impressive and give us real object avoidance. They do not sell a robot with good object avoidance and other companies are now better that Roborock. Yea the X2 video review should be out next. Good to hear from you!
@@jamie.andrews They used to, but I just do not understand why Roborock discontinued the Roborock S7 MaxV!!! Roborock is most likely going to come out with a new Q Revo iteration (most likely Q Revo Pro) with RGB Obstacle Avoidance, integrated voice control (like Yiko), hot water cleaning, and a swinging mop like the Dreame L20. Or maybe they will have an S8 MaxV with those features but with a new, over-the-top object avoidance that guarantees avoidance of poop and all kinds of cables (like iRobot). Roborock better add those dock buttons while they're at it! I bet the Deebot X2 still has horrible navigation... I still see people complaining about that.
Hello Jamie, sorry for my bad English. :) My wife and I have been looking at Roborock robot vacuum cleaners for a while now, but we can't really choose, what would you recommend from the following: Q8 Max+ or Q7 Max+ or Q5 Pro+ Thanks! :)
But we welcome other recommendations aswell, the price of the Q8 Max+ is roughly 700 dollars in our country, we can't spend more than that at the moment. So we are really open to anything in this price range. :) Thanks again. :)
They have different features and I would have to understand your needs for your types of floors if you have, pets, need obstacle avoidance, want good mopping etc. to help guide you. I have reviewed the Q7 Max on my channel. Have you seen that video? ruclips.net/video/aH8DOVjX26A/видео.htmlsi=RnE2DYNAHqgs9MQZ
@@jamie.andrews Thanks for the quick response. :) The ground is tiles everywhere. There is a dog, she mostly lives outside, but we bring in quite a lot of hair from her, and naturally, when she comes in, she also brings it in. Due to the tiles, the mopping function would also be good. We only have one carpet in the bathroom, and the kids room. Friends recommend the Roborock S7 Max Ultra, but I feel its price is a bit high, although I also see the sense that if you are going to spend, you should spend on something that is definitely a good and long-term solution. Would it really be a good buy? Thanks, I'll watch the other video as well. :)
@@10Gabor10 The S7 Max Ultra is a solid pick. I reviewed it and compared it to other robots that are similar. ruclips.net/video/5L7VG33BiWw/видео.html The main weakness is object avoidance on that model.

Thanks@@jamie.andrews again :) The Q7 max plus is on sale right now, for 480 dollars. The Q8 max plus cheapest is 680 dollar. I think we gonna go for the q7 max plus now. And maybe in the future we gonna upgrade if its needed. The q7 max plus is a great choice aswell right? :)
Honestly I’m torn between Q7 max+ and Q8 max+, the price difference odds not that much. With your review I feel like you recommend Q7 more. My house is almost hard floor. What do you recommend?
@@jamie.andrews thank you for your response. My wife has very long hair that sheds everywhere. I was tending for Q8 but I saw your review for the performance of Q7 on the cat litter. That’s why I’m confused
Thx for the great review ! I'm torn between the s8 and the q8max+, would you have a recommandation ? They cost the same where i live 500e, or i could try to go for the Q revo for 650e... Tough choice. I have 4 cats and hard floor only, no carpets. Thanx for any inputs ;)
The S8 has better obstacle avoidance and a much better mopping system than the Q8 Max Plus. The Q Revo has a much better dock so it comes down to yourr wants and needs.
@@jamie.andrews Thanks a lot. Regarding the vacuum power between the Q8 and s8 they seem fairly equal, no difference on this part that would make it easier to choose ? considering the fact that the s8 doesn't have the dock station to auto empty.
@@jamie.andrews alright thx, so it comes down to the mopping system, is it really that bad on the q8max+ compare to the s8 ? If it's just for a small area, is it possible to program it to go twice or more some days for the result to end up kinda similar to the s8 ? Thx so much for your help btw ;)
@@skyryudo311 It is not that the Q8 is bad at mopping. It lacks features of the S8 like a vibrating mopping pad and Vibrarise. If these don't matter to you then go Q8.
The Q Series is a less expensive and has less features, compared to the S8 +. They are not the same, but similar. You can compare their models here us.roborock.com/pages/robot-vacuum-cleaner-compare
What if i want vaccum only and mop only does it have that option or it is done together only? Don't really like doing them together as it will become more dirty
Hi bro, Which one would be better Q8 max or S8 or s7 or s7max v? in my country s7 have 100$ cheaper than q8 max, and s8 have 100$ more expensive than q8 max, s7 max v same price with s8, im new in this robot vacuum, want buy all around robot, able vacuum and mop well, suggest please?
They don't sell the S7 or S7 Maxv anymorr. You may want to look at the Qrevo if you want a dock that can wash the mop othwise the Q8 is a great robot. It really depends on your needs and wants with a robot. There are so many choices at all budget levels.
I don't think you can buy the Qrevo Pro without a dock. With that said it comes down to your needs. The S8 is part of their flagship series and the only one of those with improved object avoidance. If that means nothing to you the next question is do you need dual rollers? If so the Qrevo is out. The next question is do you want a self empty station that can was and dry the mops? If so the Qrevo is on only one with that option. I could go on, but I think you get the point. I can't blindly recommend one.
@@jamie.andrews q8 max and qrevo pro have same object avoidance sensor? i'm not sure need a doc or not, so i choose to compare the unit only. which one have better vacum and mop? i've read some people said dual rollers have lower performance than single on pick up a dust?
The S8+ has a better mopping system that lifts and vibrates, dual rollers and a better object avoidance system. You can see many more differences here: us.roborock.com/pages/robot-vacuum-cleaner-compare?psafe_param=1&tw_source=google&tw_adid=654615181168&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyKurBhD5ARIsALamXaGzijM8EYnqI1iDLndskHuBvDi0wB5HR8o3nfxzDj9L_aEBxdgsaLoaAscfEALw_wcB
Yes. I always recommend doing a vacuum first and then a mop second. While this won't always solve the problem it cuts down on the risk of it happening.
Q7 perfroms better on hard floor, but lacks object avoidance. The Q8 performs better on carpet and has object avoidance. Hope this helps you narrow down your choice some.
@@ABDUALRHMANSA depends on the price, if q8 max+ is almost same price then q8. Otherwise q7 is the same tbh. I got q7 because the discount for q8 ran out
I have not reviewed that one yet as I don't have it, but I have the S8 Pro Ultra which shares many of the same features as far as the robot is concerned. The dock on the plus is very similar to this dock on the Q8 Max+. Here is my review of the S8 Pro Ultra ruclips.net/video/C2cj2-mZ6sw/видео.html
why they need so many version , this version use old technoly moping , my t9 aivi still can beat this one ez .this one is stupid version 😂😂😂😂 there is no new in this version . and have no camera AI . if u only need vaccum , irobot roomba still better than this .

@Jamie Andrews is there any chance you will review the Ecovacs X2 omni soon? I wonder how it will perform with the object avoidence
Yes, working on the video now.
Are you supposed to use the roborock cleaning solution in the water tank for the mop? Thanks
I always recommend the manufacturer's solution.
Which one would be better Q7 max or Q8 max, the Plus goes for a station combo right?
Well technically the Q8 Max is above the Q7 with feature like dual rollers and obstacle avoidance. The Plus means it has an auto empty station. If you don't need dual rollers or obstacle avoidance the Q7 should be fine. Here is my review on the Q7 Max Plus ruclips.net/video/aH8DOVjX26A/видео.htmlsi=gPQ6Ch2-MCKCg7Ib
Is it worth the dust bin that comes with the q revo or the Q8 max will do just fine. Im trying to see if the dust bin is worth the price or not
If you want a self washing and drying mop you will want the Qrevo.
What is the difference between the Q8 max plus and the s8 plus? Seems very minor the differences? Is the avoidance better on s8 plus?
The S8 Plus has a better obstacle avoidance system. It has a slightly smaller dust bin tho. Also S8 has VibraRise where it vibrates and lifts the pad up

Hello , I have a question
If water is spilled on the floor, can the water be rinsed off ?
If you are asking if this can mop up puddles of water the answer is no unless we are talkign about a really light spill. It only has a thin mop cloth.
What if i want vaccum only and mop only does it have that option or it is done together only? Don't really like doing them together as it will become more dirty
You can separate them out into 2 different cleanings. Vacuum first and then send it out to mop second. I normally do this myself.

Yo Jamie, I'm at one year with the last gen roborock and I have a ultra a problem with it that I don't think you address.
If there is a any kind of rock, even a tiny pebble, it'll get caught in the drag mop pad and drag it around the entire house and scratch your floors
Yes. I always recommend doing a vacuum first and then a mop second. While this won't always solve the problem it cuts down on the risk of it happening.

It really comes down to object avoidance and mopping abilities. If those are important get the Q8 Max Plus. The mopping system is better.
