Indeed, I've got ceramic in my kitchen, and these look like they are unable to do the job! Scrubbing doesn't work! Come on Warsi get with the program!❤
I still don't see a reason to upgrade over my S7 MaxV ultra. I even have the auto water change (had to order from China) so it empties and refills water from our laundry hookup. So at a minimum I need one with automatic water change before I consider upgrading.
@@_TrueDesire_Often the V(surveillance camera) option is cheaper, as it’s subsidized by “big brother.” Sadly, as mentioned in this video, they instead decreased the performance of the secure version. Essentially incentivizing people to spend more against their own security interests. Truly the worst of both worlds.
@@StephenSmith304Steven, I had the same question, why would I swap my S7max V ultra which is working fine; then I checked the floor boards. The pop-out brush and mop convinced me to give it a try; I am very glad it did. It really makes a difference along floor boards. If you decide to make the switch, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
@@fZionists78The v can not be cheaper due to the camera parts cost more. The security concern is the costomers own issue. You want privacy, just trade off the performance.
The X40 has navigation issues. Word is that Dreame released it one year too early just to be able to say they have a better model than Roborock’s new models. Things will prpbably improve with updates though.
@@galapiat yeah I heard some of the new Roborocks are not deploying the flexi arm as good as it should along with other stuff but yeah software updates should help
Could you please also included in your tests of the vacuum robot works on black (or very dark) carpet? Most of them will go beserk on dark floors, with the cliff sensor thinking the machine might fall down. As far as I know only Roombo works good on dark floors. 0:01
It’s pretty rare that I want company to innovate less, But Roborock… could you release fewer models, but with bigger steps? XD It seems like we have a new model every two months now i’d rather have one a year. Theres too mnay variations with small differences at this point
I ordered the one with the water and drain hookups on release day, it has been amazing so far. All I have to do is clean the air filter on the dust bin every 3 days and change the bag out every 3 weeks or so when I refill the detergent. Come home every day to perfectly clean floors with extremely minimal maintenance.
@@zamzamzaman4291 I have a cat and a german shepard so with the hair and extra dust I like to keep it clean so it works like new every day. You dont have to clean the filter that often and it will still work just fine, but taking 60 seconds to just pop it out and sucked the packed in dust out with my shop vac 20 feet away isnt a lot of maintenance to me. It vacuums and mops my entire house every day so I expect it to deal with a lot of fine dust that does not get 100% cleaned out of the filter when emptying at the dock.
Hmm I think you could do the corner test a bit better. In your scenario you have four pieces of flat wood which means the four sides are completely vertical but in most houses there is this skirting that comes out from the wall that makes it not flat if you know what I mean.
@@VacuumWars Please add a "mirror test". When you have a full length mirror on a floor. Some vacuums are going crazy when "see" those and trying to add a ghost room to the map.
Curious of your thoughts on comparison with s8 Pro Ultra, do these side brush/mop make noticeable difference in the outcome of the room cleaning? (Asking because price for s8 Pro Ultra sometimes drops to ~1K making it more affordable comparing to these new ones.)
I havent seen any youtuber make proper pickup tests of small moist sand. You know small particles that covers the floor. You cant really see but feel its there by draging a finger over it. My S8 totally failed on this. This test should be included !. My hairy dog bring in sand turning floors into sand paper basically. If the floor feels just as dirty after doing 2 passes on Max mode. And mopping. Its a real dealbreaker atleast for me. I think other people wants to know about this also.
would be great if you could include maximum height a robot can climb. this is especially important for people living in europe since rooms are often seperated by 2cm and more edges that the robot needs to climb
I got the S8 Max Ultra on sale when it launched on amazon (rebate/rewards from roborock for both of them was nice as well). Night and day compared to Q7 Max+... The Q7 mop is a joke in comparison.. Not worried about suction since I have it on a floor that's all hardwood. Really want to see how these compare to a Dreame X40 Ultra. Both are compatible with open source firmware compatible with Home Assistant. My friend just flashed his Dreame to it.
I love this channel and will absolutely be using it every single time I buy any kind of vacuum (I'll be buying a robo vacuum/mop combo some time next year for sure). One thing I wish they could test though is longevity. All of these tests are over such a short period of time, and it would be great if they could keep being used and then maybe once a year or something Vacuum wars could report which models continue to perform well and which have started to break or encounter issues. Performance straight out of the box is important, but arguably even more important is how reliable they are in the long run.
Do not buy Roborock products!! It may work fantastically in the beginning, but both the dealer and roborock itself only give a two-year warranty and after that you are on your own. Mine is broken and Roborock doesn't know what the problem is but doesn't offer a solution. Scandalous!

I was waiting long time for this review. I'm really happy that i bought the S8 MaxV Ultra and the review confirms also that this is the best robot vacuum on the market right now. Thanks.
Did they fix the problems that other reviewers have noted? For example apparently the corner cleaning feature is a bit of a flop because it would stop rotating hitting the corners. In addition they measured the water temperature which was nowhere close to 60° C
He doesn’t mention negatives anymore. Just what will get people to buy from his links. No comparison to other brands or even previous models. 2.0 has absolutely gone down the drain
@@KatyaKatoo Mine got an update about a week and a half ago to change the algorith used for the spinning brush, it uses it more often now. I check the corners for hair regularly and its always clean.
It’s time to the next innovation,a double battery inside the Roborock! All thins innovation required energy. In my house of 180mq is impossible to complete the task without one charge during the cleaning task.
I really wish these companies would simplify their product lines and stop offering models where they leave off features or intentionally cripple. It must add so much complexity to their business, and I personally buyer fewer things because it makes me indecisive or confused. Car companies do the same thing. Feels like some antiquated strategy of the 1980s.
be careful what you wish for, they could potentially do a software lock on the feature, then sell you extra feature as software download. Imagine having to pay $5 monthly subscription to keep your heated water feature on.
Don't know how with these, but with S8 it's "AI avoidance" is so unusable I had to turn it off. Maybe in an empty room it's fine, but if I stand in a room in some spot during vacuum it detects me as shoes or other obstacle from some distance and tries to omit this spot later even if I'm no longer there. I'd love to see an additional test with dynamic map, where some things change place during vacuum work and how it reacts to this. Because right now it's quite annoying with these vacuums. Also, their support for automation using OS features like Shortcuts in iOS is quite bad. E.g. it's not possible to clean more than one chosen room using shortcuts. Also it's not possible to integrate it properly with e.g. smart switches as the same is even in Mi Home app. So still lots of work on the app front too.
I did get this on opening day I would have gone for the Water Hookups but I live in a apartment and not really easy to do with placement of the Dock. I love this. I went from the iRobot s9+ and the Brava M6 and it is SOOO MUCH BETTER! It maped my place in 15 min vs 4 Hours! ITs Quiter and the all in one of Moping and Vacuming is so nice. And the AI Obstical Avoidance is so nice so I don't have to prep my floors every time I want to send the robot out.
vs the Eufy X10 omni!? also the s8 MaxV objeect avoidance is crap in my experience, also maintainance is still required to clean the trais in the "self clean" system"
Can you also add tests for "thresholds"? I have thresholds between each main rooms and my roomba j7+ shows signs of navigation issues when it goes over it. Also its base is a little scrapped because of it. Not sure how a robot with a mop will behave with it.
So far the s8 maxv has been doing pretty well with my threshold and its a hard one to get over. Upgraded from a s7 maxv and it would also get stuck at the same spot, i kept the mop uninstalled because i just needed it mainly for vacuuming plus i didnt get the dock because i wasnt sure if i really wanted to soend that much. It does sometimes get stuck, but it will correct itself and get over it. So far no regrets getting the s8 maxv
@@gsxrfire8310 experiences like these are important. I didn't even think about threshold before buying my current Roomba J7+ as I never saw anyone mention it. I am factoring it for my next purchase, but as I want mop on my next robot, I am not sure how thresholds would impact the decision making. Thank you for mentioning about your experience with s7 and s8. I have them in my radar vs eufy x10
Lol they could have saved soooo much money if they just put a physical camera lens switch on the robot for people with security concerns. Then the lens could detect if it was closed and configure itself to run on lidar only
Something better did come along. Its the one that auto drains and fills. Even the old sv 7 max with yhe after market drain and fill is better than this one. Its clutch not having to fill the damn water or drain that smelly bucket.
72% carpet deep clean score for S8 Max and 82% for S8MaxV. Vs. 84% for Q Revo, 86% for S7 MaxV and 78% For S8 Pro and 80% For regular S7. How is it possible that the carpet deep clean scores keep regressing for Roborock all the while they keep supposedly increasing the suction? S8 MaxV is said to have 10000 pa, while S7 is said to have 2500 pa. So with 4 times as much suction as the S7, the airflow a d deep cleaning performance are practically identical (12CFM on S7 vs 13CFM on S8 MaxV Ultra) and cleaning performance. And for the S8 Max Ultra, they have actually regressed considerably. Roborock is lying to consumers pretty horribly with their suction numbers. I appreciate the fact that you reported the test results properly in this video, but I wish you’d also called them (and other manufacturers) out on this. Also, it seems like the Roomba S9 remains carpet deep clean king. It’s a shame it’s held back by awful navigation, using Vslam and not having mopping. Kind of seems like it’ll be a really long time until we get a better carpet deep cleaning robot.
Its identical but better due to never needing to worry about filling it or dumping the nasty water tank, I got one on release day and I will never go back as long as they offer them. I just put it in my laundry room to hook up to the normal washer water line and drain in the wall, works perfect.
@@mint88rx8 sadly my laundry is upstairs and I need it downstairs :( does the package come with enough parts to connect to your existing system or probably need to source ourselves?
You need to update and improve your tests if you wait this channel to succeed in the future. These robots have advanced beyond the basic tests you perform and your reviews aren’t very reflective of any of the new features, all all 👍🏼
Love the review but one minor disagreement. The plumbing system roborock sells was about as complicated as hooking up a washing machine. Not sure if thats practical or not for most people, but i thought the process was reasonable, and not changing the mop water is the best feature ive experienced.
As a S7 MaxV Ultra owner. I could definitely see myself stepping up to the S8 MaxV Ultra. I like the camera function, but the new side brushes and base station sure look nice!!
Great review. I agree with you about the S8 Max. What if you want the best cleaning power and the voice assistant but you don't want a robot with a camera, that's not possible. I wish Roborock would introduce a model that has the design of the Q Revo but all of the cleaning power of the S8 Max V. I do have the Q Revo but I don't think it's worth upgrading to the Q Revo Max V, especially since I don't need the obstacle avoidance. If you can, you should check out the Narwal Freo X Ultra, it is really awesome. I really wonder if Irobot will come out with something to compete with these other brands, they are so far behind the competition now that if they don't do something major soon they might be done.
I have an option to buy a Roborock s7 maxv ultra, for 810.00 tax free. Should I go with the 7 or spend the extra money for the 8's? I have a 1400 sq foot house with 98% laminate floors and two dogs.
The cleaning of the roller brushes on the s8 max vs s8 pro is atrocious. S8 pro takes 1-2minutes. Just spent 20min working on s8 max. Those red caps do nothing!
Why does the vacuum cleaner have such weird curves and cheap-looking plastics? This is probably the ugliest vacuum cleaner from roborock. The station, on the other hand, looks great.
Roborock has definitely posed competition to tenured companies like iRobot. If iRobot wants to keep their Roomba as the household name it is important that they take into consideration these advancements and innovations companies like Roborock are doing. I’m curious to see especially after the failed acquisition from Amazon what iRobot does this Fall to keep themselves in the game… hopefully something great as I am brand loyal to them 😂.
I don't usually comment on things however, this is getting frustrating. Can somebody also take the noise level of these vacuum cleaners into their comparison videos? I have not found any information about noise levels in reviews or videos. This should also be included because you don't want a bulldozer running inside your house. I am more sensitive to noise levels rather than cleaning performance . I can run it twice or thrice until the floor is spotless. I don't understand where these suction power fetishes of the vacuum cleaner industry come from. What are the noise levels in quiet and turbo mode? If you share it with us, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
Can there be a test to see how they handle completing a floor plan with _moving_ obstacles (pets) in the space? My X1 Omni used to never complete my floor plan because my dogs would be blocking pathways to other areas, and it would simply avoid the dogs and those areas. I had to put my dogs away to run it.
Is the S8 Max V ultra quiet? I have the S7 max v ultra and may thing to upgrade in the future. FYI I have ceramic tile throughout my home and it works great on my tile floors. I am not expecting it to scrub in between the grout as the pad surface is a flat level but it does vacuum and mop it that I can tell. I know some tile and grout that is not even can be tricky and if the grout is not level with the tile its not going to mop it. It's been a time saver for me.
So the question.... upgrading from my s9 plus and m6 brava jet to a new model. Should I go with the S8 Max v ultra or the Dream L20 ultra. We have lots of hardwood and carpet, so both are appealing. Price is similar to so just looking at pros and cons. Thank you all
@VacuumWars That's a good enough response for me lol. Absolutely love the content you do, my wife makes fun of me but loving all the recommendations from your channel.
With the L20 ultra you get practically the same robot for a lot less $$.. The next gen robot that will be worth the upgrade over L20 ultra is when something like the Dreame Mova g30 ultra makes its way out of china
I got mine a maxv yesterday. Do you have a solution for carpets with fringes? I added 4 barriers for each carpet to protect them but soon those carpets move over time and barriers become obsolete 🤖
That little spinning mop with the robot arm and a separate place to clean it in the dock is the most laughable thing I have ever seen in the robot mopping world...

Could you please do a review of the newer shark air purifiers. They have the never change, true HEPA and another air filter.
Should i get the q8 vs the s8 ?
You should reveal the shark vertex az 2000 instead of the 2002
Something better did come along. Its the one that auto drains and fills. Even the old sv 7 max with yhe after market drain and fill is better than this one. Its clutch not having to fill the damn water or drain that smelly bucket.
The Maxv Ultra is 1099 right now. If anyone wants to get one.
If I bring the robot upstairs, what area can it mop before needing to refill the water tank?
What about electricity consumption of this device?
Is there a way to add floor cleaning solution into the mop system?
Ya there is a refillable reservoir that you put concentrate in and it automatically mixes it when filling the robot.
72% carpet deep clean score for S8 Max and 82% for S8MaxV. Vs. 84% for Q Revo, 86% for S7 MaxV and 78% For S8 Pro and 80% For regular S7.
How is it possible that the carpet deep clean scores keep regressing for Roborock all the while they keep supposedly increasing the suction? S8 MaxV is said to have 10000 pa, while S7 is said to have 2500 pa. So with 4 times as much suction as the S7, the airflow a d deep cleaning performance are practically identical (12CFM on S7 vs 13CFM on S8 MaxV Ultra) and cleaning performance. And for the S8 Max Ultra, they have actually regressed considerably.
Roborock is lying to consumers pretty horribly with their suction numbers. I appreciate the fact that you reported the test results properly in this video, but I wish you’d also called them (and other manufacturers) out on this.
Also, it seems like the Roomba S9 remains carpet deep clean king. It’s a shame it’s held back by awful navigation, using Vslam and not having mopping. Kind of seems like it’ll be a really long time until we get a better carpet deep cleaning robot.
really want to get the drainage one, but not much review on that :(
Its identical but better due to never needing to worry about filling it or dumping the nasty water tank, I got one on release day and I will never go back as long as they offer them. I just put it in my laundry room to hook up to the normal washer water line and drain in the wall, works perfect.
@@mint88rx8 sadly my laundry is upstairs and I need it downstairs :( does the package come with enough parts to connect to your existing system or probably need to source ourselves?
love the s8max V ultra power but not the camera
Please give us a comparison of 8 maxv versus qrevo maxv
Is the detergent tank meant to only clean the pad or does it combine it to clean the floor?
Sir can you please do a comparison between the roborock s7 Max ultra vs roborock s7 maxv ultra and the roborock s8 max ultra vs roborock s8 maxv ultra
That's a good idea. Thanks.
You need to update and improve your tests if you wait this channel to succeed in the future. These robots have advanced beyond the basic tests you perform and your reviews aren’t very reflective of any of the new features, all all 👍🏼
Like what?
Would you recommand this vibrating mops over the rotating one ?
Both types can perform very well.
Finally you got them reviewed. Thank you so much! I'm happy you agree with my purchase 😃
So glad you are happy with it!
Love the review but one minor disagreement. The plumbing system roborock sells was about as complicated as hooking up a washing machine.
Not sure if thats practical or not for most people, but i thought the process was reasonable, and not changing the mop water is the best feature ive experienced.
That is great. Thank you for sharing.
I’m excited I got the regular S8 Max Ultra at Target for $960
We hope you enjoy it!
I got mine, Roborock 8 MaxV TODAY through the door at home
We hope you are happy with it!
@@VacuumWarsAll I want is for it to be even better than the Roborock MaxV 7
Please review SwitchBot S10
As a S7 MaxV Ultra owner. I could definitely see myself stepping up to the S8 MaxV Ultra. I like the camera function, but the new side brushes and base station sure look nice!!
Totally agree!
Thanks for the review! Would love to see a review of new Roborock Qrevo Pro with only the lidar
Cant decide between Roborock S8 MaxV, Dreame X40 and Eufy S1 Pro. Looking forward to this channel comparing them.
We are looking at the X40 now.
How about S8 Pro Ultra vs S8 Max Ultra？
Geeze I want this one.
Totally understand.
new narwal review please
Great review. I agree with you about the S8 Max. What if you want the best cleaning power and the voice assistant but you don't want a robot with a camera, that's not possible. I wish Roborock would introduce a model that has the design of the Q Revo but all of the cleaning power of the S8 Max V. I do have the Q Revo but I don't think it's worth upgrading to the Q Revo Max V, especially since I don't need the obstacle avoidance. If you can, you should check out the Narwal Freo X Ultra, it is really awesome. I really wonder if Irobot will come out with something to compete with these other brands, they are so far behind the competition now that if they don't do something major soon they might be done.
waiting for the robrock V20. It's just released in China market.
You can switch off the camera.
I can't find the S8 Max Ultra anywhere on the web? Has it been discontinued or something? I live in Germany.
Not that we know of!
@@VacuumWars Thank you for the reply!
Was ist s8 Max Ultra … ist das gleiche wie s8 pro Ultra
I have an option to buy a Roborock s7 maxv ultra, for 810.00 tax free. Should I go with the 7 or spend the extra money for the 8's? I have a 1400 sq foot house with 98% laminate floors and two dogs.
The cleaning of the roller brushes on the s8 max vs s8 pro is atrocious. S8 pro takes 1-2minutes. Just spent 20min working on s8 max. Those red caps do nothing!
Why does the vacuum cleaner have such weird curves and cheap-looking plastics? This is probably the ugliest vacuum cleaner from roborock. The station, on the other hand, looks great.
So frustrating Roborock have no interest in UK market. This looks incredible
Roborock has definitely posed competition to tenured companies like iRobot. If iRobot wants to keep their Roomba as the household name it is important that they take into consideration these advancements and innovations companies like Roborock are doing. I’m curious to see especially after the failed acquisition from Amazon what iRobot does this Fall to keep themselves in the game… hopefully something great as I am brand loyal to them 😂.
I don't usually comment on things however, this is getting frustrating. Can somebody also take the noise level of these vacuum cleaners into their comparison videos? I have not found any information about noise levels in reviews or videos. This should also be included because you don't want a bulldozer running inside your house. I am more sensitive to noise levels rather than cleaning performance . I can run it twice or thrice until the floor is spotless. I don't understand where these suction power fetishes of the vacuum cleaner industry come from. What are the noise levels in quiet and turbo mode? If you share it with us, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
I bought the S7 maxv ultra based on your recommendations. How does this compare to the previous version?
War never changes...
Hahahaha
Can there be a test to see how they handle completing a floor plan with _moving_ obstacles (pets) in the space? My X1 Omni used to never complete my floor plan because my dogs would be blocking pathways to other areas, and it would simply avoid the dogs and those areas. I had to put my dogs away to run it.
where do you place the roomba j9 combo in your ranking? I'm very confused, switching to roborock I don't know if it has the same assistance as roomba?
Is the S8 Max V ultra quiet? I have the S7 max v ultra and may thing to upgrade in the future. FYI I have ceramic tile throughout my home and it works great on my tile floors. I am not expecting it to scrub in between the grout as the pad surface is a flat level but it does vacuum and mop it that I can tell. I know some tile and grout that is not even can be tricky and if the grout is not level with the tile its not going to mop it. It's been a time saver for me.
Any chance you will be able to test the Switchbot S10 robot vacuum? Thanks.
Looks like it’s supposed to have compatibility with the matter standard, could you elaborate on that a bit? Thanks
So the question.... upgrading from my s9 plus and m6 brava jet to a new model. Should I go with the S8 Max v ultra or the Dream L20 ultra. We have lots of hardwood and carpet, so both are appealing. Price is similar to so just looking at pros and cons. Thank you all
We are keeping the S8 MaxV at our house now!
@VacuumWars That's a good enough response for me lol. Absolutely love the content you do, my wife makes fun of me but loving all the recommendations from your channel.
Absolutely not Ecovacs, it just sucks compared to Roborock
With the L20 ultra you get practically the same robot for a lot less $$..
The next gen robot that will be worth the upgrade over L20 ultra is when something like the Dreame Mova g30 ultra makes its way out of china
Review the Switchbot s10 fully automated robot
cant wait till they develop bagless systems, would insta buy one then, till then those can't even compete with the S3
I got mine a maxv yesterday. Do you have a solution for carpets with fringes? I added 4 barriers for each carpet to protect them but soon those carpets move over time and barriers become obsolete 🤖
That little spinning mop with the robot arm and a separate place to clean it in the dock is the most laughable thing I have ever seen in the robot mopping world...
I know this is a stretch and off topic but can you also do coffee machine wars plz? I want to know which makes the best latte lol
don't buy if your wifi is 5ghz. the app will not work
No more air purifiers?
Was interested in seeing if there was a window fan that came with a filter & thought I might see something on this channel.
the small spinning mobpad must be joke really?
