Roborock has taken the number one spot for robotic vacuum sales worldwide, according to Euromonitor, and has been releasing some rather incredible robot vacuums over the past few years, but at CES in January, the company had a few more tricks up its sleeves. The new Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is a robot vacuum that eliminates a few more pain points and allows it to clean beyond limits.
One of the big pain points for robot vacuums is their shape. Most robot vacuums are circular, which makes it almost impossible to get into the corners of rooms. However, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra has solved that issue. With the new FlexiArm Design Side Brush and the Extra Edge Mopping System, you’re getting 100% corner coverage, meaning the dirt in those corners doesn’t stand a chance. The Extra Edge Mopping System pops out from the side of the vacuum to make sure it gets the edge of the floors and those corners. It is effectively making the mop wider than the actual vacuum.
Pair the new Flexi-Arm side brush design with the powerful 10,000Pa suction, and you’ve got a robot vacuum that won’t miss any dirt, dust, or other debris in your home. That is about 25% stronger than the S8 Max Ultra and more than 50% as strong as most competitors.
The new RockDock Ultra makes cleaning more automated
Roborock has reinvented the robot vacuum auto-empty dock. The new RockDock Ultra doesn’t just empty the dustbin when it’s docked; it also refills the water reservoir, uses hot water to clean the mop, warm air drying, and an auto detergent dispenser. It literally does everything.
With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock really wanted to clear out any limits and pain points when cleaning your home. Now, you really only need to tend to it when the dustbag in the dock gets full. Thanks to the PreciSense LiDAR Navigation and Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition, the S8 MaxV Ultra is also able to map out your home and avoid obstacles.
Roborock has by far the best obstacle avoidance system that I’ve ever used, and it continues to get better and better. With Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition, the vacuum uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify obstacles that it might come across. Whether that’s a cable, a scale, shoes, dog toys, or even dog waste, it will avoid them all. Meaning that you’ll never really need to “rescue” the vacuum.
PreciSense LiDAR Navigation can also scan and simultaneously create detailed maps to help it determine the most efficient cleaning route. The S8 MaxV Ultra uses DirTect Technology, which recognizes how dirty your floors are and increases suction power for dirtier or high-traffic areas.
Roborock’s VibraRise 3.0 Mopping System is able to get rid of the most stubborn messes. This mopping system has high-speed scrubbing of 4,000 times per minute. VibraRise 3.0 will also lift the mopping pad up when it detects carpet, so your carpet is not getting mopped. This makes it so much easier to mop and vacuum your home, as you don’t need to remove the mopping pad.
That said, Roborock is really removing all limits to cleaning your home. The only real input that you need to give to the S8 MaxV Ultra is when to actually clean your home. Of course, with the Roborock app, you can set up a schedule or even use your favorite virtual assistant to start cleaning your home since Roborock works with Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri, and Google Assistant. Cleaning your home has never been this simple.
Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra goes on sale through its website and Amazon on April 22 and costs $1,799. Roborock is going to offer a trade-in program where you can get up to $900 cashback when you trade in your Roborock Vacuum. And when you buy one S8 MaxV Ultra, you get one Roborock Flexi Lite free. Finally, Roborock is giving every S8 MaxV Ultra buyer a 5-year warranty, giving everyone peace of mind when purchasing an S8 MaxV Ultra robot vacuum.
