Received today, used 6 hours
1. Camera cannot be accessed remotely . Important for me, totally ok with someone else
2. Cannot climb on hile pile carpet. Mine is about 3 cm high. After manually lift on the carpet working good, no human hair remain behind, no debrits, fleasant feeling when i touched carpet, no water on the carpet. So, for my 3 cm high carpet, with one wheel on the carpet and one wheel on the floor easy succeed to return to the carpet
3. Editing rooms wall is a nightmare, practically you cannot do it easy, need to spend about 5 minutes to edit a room. Walls you cannot edit.
4. Furniture library very limited and scaling of available furniture is limited. I have very big sofa and wardrobe ...cannot scale
5. Have option to add carpet area ... very petty that you cannot rotate, not everybody have carpet oriented parallel with walls. Option to add carpet zone just rectangle/square carpet figure and allways relative to vertical and orizontal phone axis not to room axis.
6. Very good obstacle avoidance but catch cables. What i really liked is that when arrive in vecinity of an obstacle reduce the speed so much that even if there is a touch with obstacle is very very gentle
7. Good battery, used 3% and 8 m8nutes to scan an apartment with 45 m2
8. Small pieces of carpet are ignored, goes over them and in 98% will catch them with rollers
9. Very quiet comparing with others which i saw during presentations in various shops before. On low vacuum mode you can easly sleep, on boost carpet vacuum mode make same noise like other in low or normal mode
10. Very practical solution with mop lifting, working good
11. Surface recognition is good and program have option to set individual the type of flooring for each room or defined areas
12. Object identification is good but is not perfect ... confused high boots with sneakers. Not that this mather but when you have the crown and want to keep it you need to pay attention to details ;)
Thank You for sharing your feedback 😀
so basically is it good robot or we can purchase more cheaper robot?
@@nurafifahshuhardi8240 yes.. minimal upgraded cleaning. Go with the S7 Pro Ultra. I’m a fan of the camera and the cool LED light at the top of the S7 MaxV Ultra. So I’m going to purchase that new along with the air drying module.
I know the mop pad isn't detachable, but can it be removed with a screwdriver and replaced?
@NejGAME Just from looking at it, there no screws to easily remove the mopping plate.
Awesome video. One thing I would love to see is in depth review of how good the dock can clean the mop pad and also how good and how quick is the drying process for the pad. I have the S7 and having a damp smelly mop pad is my biggest bug bear. If I schedule the S7 to clean at night, by the time it's morning the pad is already starting to stink. I have about 10 pads that I cycle after each clean so I'm always using a fresh pad. The S8 Ultra seems to tick all boxes provided the mop pad cleaning and drying is on point. Anyway, great video and looking forward to more videos.
Thank you for watching, as for the Mop Drying feature you can set between 2-4 hours. Also if you happen to have the S7 MaxV Ultra dock you can buy an Hot Air Drying attachment for the dock. The self cleaning feature hasn't really changed from last year's model. I would recommend washing the mopping pad by hand every month or so to give a better clean.
@@RobotMasters I've only got the basic S7 with just the simple charging dock 😞 I guess I'm waiting for Roborock that can do vacuum and mop on a daily basis for 1 to 2 weeks without any intervention and so it doesn't cause a smelly mouldy smell from the mop pad. Seems like the S8 Ultra can do it but I'd need to be sure before I pull the trigger on that.
@Mil If it was me, I would get the S7 MaxV Ultra and try to find the Hot Air Drying attachment. You might also look at the L10s Ultra or the Ecovacs OMNI X1 those have a hot air drying feature as well.
I think emptying the waste water tank once a week and wash the mop in the washing machine after 4-5 cleaning cycles is a good idea.
Great review Nathan! Glad to see your sense of humor is back also. But it didn't seem to clean the pad very well at 10:16. Getting through that maze at 1:45 was amazing! Get it? Maze? :^)
Hahaha Maze 😆
How is the noise level compared to a brush roller model like the S6v and the single rubber roller model like the S7? I Roomba i7 and it sounded like a lawnmower grinding through the house. My S6 I have now is much quieter.
It loud especially if you are in the Max power mode. Sound like a portable handheld vacuum. Not quite as loud as an upright vacuum unless you are running the self emptying system.
Would you say the double brush improves cleaning overall? iRobots have had it pantented until now and it was their main feature allowing for same cleaning performance as a single brush Roborocks but with less than half of CFM airflow, which produces much less noise and provides longer battery. So I would expect that the combination of double brush design + high CFM airflow should produce next level cleaning performance comparable to much more powerful manual vacuums.
Yes the double rollers help, a few things I consider is the CFM, PA, Navigation and how low the robot sits. Usually if the robot has the brushes sit lower than they can perform better at picking small debris from carpets. The trade off is they may struggle getting over thresholds and sucking up larger debris like cereal. As for the S8 Pro, just from what I have seen it performed as well as last year's model. I noticed less debris getting trapped from the brush roller area. Mopping was probably where I have seen the biggest improvement.
Is there any difference in the ReactiveAI settings? Also, how do these new two brushes handle hair tangle?
So the S8 Pro has Reactive 3D so no camera with this model. The settings are less than the S7 MaxV. As for the brush roller the hair tangle is similar to last model except you got to clean two of them. The hair falls off pretty easily and the ends are removable.
Great Review! Wondering how the "vac & mop"-feature will work together, if the room has a thicker carpet in it. The mop is raising 5mm, but 1 of my rooms has a medium sized carpet which is rather soft for which 5mm doesn't seem enough. I'm afraid that the mop will get the carpet wet.
Guess you can cope with this, by first scheduling a vac-only cycle where the carpet is, followed by a "vac & mop" for the rest of the room. However, I don't like workarounds :)
I currently own a irobot i7 and Brava Jet M6, which have to clean after each other => Taking alot of time:
- Would you recommend 2 separate cycles to vac and after mop, or doest the vac & mop combination works great and timesaving?
- Does it perform well at night, in dark?
dark does nothing to a laser robovac. And Roborock navigation is ages ahead of that from Roomba so with 2 passes it will take less time that what it's taking now with that combo you have.
Hello yes for thicker carpets I would recommend setting a schedule for Vacuum only, in those areas. Mop the other areas that are thin to medium profile carpets that are 4mm or less. As for dark areas, the robot has no issues with those. Laser can see in complete darkness as well as the front obstacle sensor.
Buy a roborock! At least a S7MAXV Ultra. I robot is a lightyear in the past compared to technology and quality! I own two S7MAXV. First time there is no serious problem!
wow was really impressed with object avoidance with the cups on the floor...
dude cups are the easiest. Cables are the real challenge
Looking forward to the S7 vs S8 comparison. It doesn't look like it'll be a huge difference from a cleaning perspective, but a bit easier to maintain than the S7.
That correct, easier to maintain one brush roller instead of two. Just from what I observed so far I have noticed better carpet cleaning from the S8 Pro. The mopping performance also improved.
@@RobotMasters I've been really happy with the mopping on my S7 and we have only a few rugs. Honestly I don't see any reason to upgrade but I'll be interested to hear what you think for folks who don't have either - reduced cost S7 Ultra or S8.
is water tank in robot removable? ...how effective the rush mopping does it do on the tile and wood floor?
Sadly I couldn't find an easy way to remove the water tank like on the original S7 and S7 MaxV. From what I can tell from the mopping performance it similar to last year model. I haven't found a mopping robot that can handle tough stains and dirt.
Thanks for the review! Would you recommend someone upgrade from the s7v Ultra?
From what I observed, the S8 Pro isn't directly competing or an significant upgrade over the S7 MaxV. If you are happy with the S7 I would keep it.
Maybe I missed it, but can you program the app to vacuum, with the mop pad withdrawn into the bot, when finished have it return to the base and empty the dustbin, then perform a mopping with the vacuuming rollers withdrawn? Also, in your opinion are the new features make it worth upgrading from the S7 maxV Ultra?
Yes you can program it to start with Vacuum only, Mop will not wash or be placed down. Once the robot returns to the dock to empty you can have it mop only. The vacuum rollers automatically withdraw and the mopping pads only lift when carpet is detected. There a setting in the app to keep the mopping pads down. As for the upgrades, if you already have the S7 MaxV Ultra I think you wouldn't need to upgrade unless you want the dual brush rollers, increase suction and hot Air Drying feature. You will miss out on the video feature where you can see what the robot sees.
@@RobotMasters I can watch through the camera on the s7 max v
LOL are you seriously asking if it's worth to spend another 1500 dol after spending the same money a year before?
@@xeon2k8 Are you seriously wasting time and energy concerning yourself what I buy or how much I spend? Go worry about your own life; I’m sure there is a lot of disturbing subject matter.
@@sdcoinshooter wanted to confirm if u were that dumb to waste money like that and make others aware not to follow. Thanks for that. And remember you are on the internet so if you want a private chat with someone use other channels and dont complain here people getting into your "matters".
How about picking from the edges? Is there some improvements?
Roborock went with their older bristle design side brush. So the performance on edges is decent similar to the other models.
Hello, a suggestion: What would you suggest more if you need a robot for vacuming and not really for mopping the s7 maxv or the s8 pro ultra?
Well a couple of my personal favorites are the Roborock S4, if you don't been a self emptying system. If you want a self emptying system than the iRobot i3+ is a capable machine with a powerful self emptying base. Also the Roborock S7 offered decent performance with the option to buy a self emptying station later on.
@@RobotMastersWhat is the best robot vacuum for vacuuming debris without scattering them, clearing corners perfectly, and having obstacle avoidance and a good app? (Premium category robots)"
@@WhiteWolf-rx8dn My top Premium models are the Roborock S8 Pro, S7 MaxV, L10s Ultra and the X1 OMNI. All of these models offer the best cleaning performance and have self emptying, washing, and mop drying feature.
@@RobotMasters Could you do a comparison video doing a clean test with all of these competing against each other ? We need answers 😆
Hi Nathan, is it automatic water pick n drain system?
There no external drainage system if that what you are referring too. I am sure Roborock will create one for overseas versions since it more popular over there.
Hi, I heard that new dual brush stuck less hair, is it correct?
Yes rubber brushes are easier to remove the hair. Also less hair tangle overall.
How do you think it compares to Dreametech L10s Ultra Robot Vacuum?
Even though they look very similar in design and both the docking stations offer the same features. The L10s has smaller Disposable Bag and water tanks. The stand out features for the L10s is the Camera system, the ability to avoid the carpets while mopping or vacuum the carpet while mopping. The S8 Pro has better cleaning performance overall with vacuuming and mopping. It a more powerful cleaning system overall.
that's a big boy! excellent video as always! :D
Thank You 😊
Great video! Will Roborock release any new robot vacuums with only vision? I don't need the entire docking thing. But I need good vision obstacle avoidance. Thanks!
Yes there two more versions
If i but s7 maxv ultra with the drying feature is the performance for drying same with the s8 pro? I see alot people complain about stinky mop
Not sure how well the Drying feature attachment did with the S7 Ultra dock. With that being said just from what I have seen so far I haven't noticed any smell. Keep in mind I do throw the mopping pad in the washer every few weeks.
@@RobotMasters tq for reply, which one more worthed this roborock or ecovacs x1 omni?
@@himawanwite Not knowing the price on the S8 Pro, I would say the S8 Pro is a better robot vacuum cleaner overall. I noticed the robot picked up more dirt and debris over a week of running the robot. I suspect the S8 Pro will be priced cheaper than the X1 since it has a few less features. For example the X1 has a front facing camera, two voice and video capabilities, and onboard voice assistance. If it was my pick I probably go with the S8 Pro. Lastly if you have a lot hair on the floor choose a robot that has an all rubber brush bar. This is on the iRobot, S7/S8 Roborock.
@@RobotMasters are there lot of differences between s8 pro and s7 maxV ultra?
@Himawan Wite Main differences, S8 Pro has increase PA 6,000, dual rubber brushes instead of 1, Reactive 3D system which lacks the front camera that the S7 MaxV has which is called Reactive AI. Also the dock has been redesigned cosmetically and added the Hot Air Drying Feature. The S8 Pro now has dual vibrating mopping modules, but the mopping plate and water tank can't be removed. Everything else, Feature, App and other things are the same.
The robo king is back awesome video
Hahaha LOL never left 🤣
@@RobotMasters probably he meant about Roborock xDDD
Any new features for Voice Control Vs S7 Max V Ultra?
The voice control is similar, I couldn't find any new commands. Roborock is planning on providing several updates prior to release.
Thank you 😊
Great review as always :) At minute 12 the robot is cleaning your black carpet. Can you notice a difference to S7 MaxV regarding the ability to identify black carpets as pits? In your vid the s8 avoids your tripod. How good the 7MAXV handles it? Background: I have to modify my two S7MAXV with lids to ensure that they are able to move on black carpets. Nevertheless the robot dont recognize our wooden chair legs or any black tripods... So im interested how good he "sees". Thanks for your work. Enjoying it!
Hello, so in theory the S7 MaxV has better obstacle avoidance sensors than the S8 Pro. With that being said I noticed the S8 Pro wasn’t affected by dark carpet, was able to transition over them. The robot will sill occasionally bump into thin objects like chair legs. The software if still new and requires a few updates prior to giving a good picture on how well the robot performs around objects. Just from my personal experience it seems like the S6 MaxV performed the best at navigating objects and the S7 MaxV is 2nd place.
@@RobotMasters many thanks for your feedback :)
Is it worth upgrading if I own a s7maxv ultra and have the dryer unit?
No, I think the S7 MaxV Ultra is still one of the best Robot Vacuums out there. If you where coming from the Original S7, or older model, than yes the S8 Pro an compelling upgrade.
@@RobotMasters Thank you sir! Always educational. I will definitely save my money on this one then... I will say, I just got the dryer on my s7 ultra and it's been a game changer (no more stinky mop!!)
@@mandibarrett9401 Always appreciate and look forward to reading your comments 😀
LOL are you seriously asking if it's worth to spend another 1500 dol after spending the same money a year before?
How good is it at avoiding wires and corda
not as good as s7 maxv
im thinking of getting this when it comes out instead of the s7 maxv ultra, do you think that would be a good idea?
It depends on what features are most important to you. For example the S7 MaxV has the ability to see what the robot sees via it camera. Also you can get an attachment on the dock for the hot air drying feature. The S8 Pro has better mopping and the dual brush rollers allows better pickup ability. As for the other features, they are almost identical.
@@RobotMasters did roborock send you this robot early?
@@robotvacuumreviewsandmore9791 Yes
@@RobotMasters do you know when it officially releases?
@Robot Vacuum Reviews And More Before the summer, don't have an exact date.
Hi, congratulations for your channel. I hope you will also find the new Hobot Legee D8, with its LuLu washing base. Thank you
Thank You, I will have to check out that model.
Hey robot masters, there is this person telling me that the Reactive 3D on the S8 Pro Ultra is Not black and white and has been arguing with me. Is the camera on reactive 3D black and white?
Unfortunately there no RGB camera for the S8 Pro, only a 3D Dot Matrix Light System. Color Camera system only reserved for the MaxV models. Hope this clear up the confusion.
@@RobotMasters that is what I suspected.
If only Roborock would've added Reactive AI and a fancy touchscreen on the dock we would have the perfect robot. Maybe that's something for the S8 MaxV.
@Mr. BlueCreeper Yes just waiting for that ultimate Roborock 😊
What's the price?
Price for s7 maxv ultra in Slovakia si 1299e... Should I take it or wait for s8 with bigger dock?
The pricing hasn't been announced yet. I would suspect it would be slightly cheaper than the S7 MaxV. If you want a little better cleaning performance than the S8 Pro better. The S7 MaxV is ideal if you want to have the ability to see what the robot sees via the app.
@@RobotMasters I have xiaomi vacuum mop pro P... Its not bad but it has flaws like loosing map and you have to put it back to Dock few times ten do device leveling and after 5 tries it finally cleans the flat.... But sometimes it gets lost or gets stuck or loose map while cleaning.... But it was 299e... 😂 I don't have carpets only floors so s7 maxv ultra with dock is maybe the best... S8 max Pro would be more expensive than 1300e I think
@Peter Ferenc Yeah the price fluctuates between countries. You may be able to find a good deal on the Original S7.
my soul left my body when you dropped it
No Robots were harmed in making of this video 🤭
Does it have remote two-way microphone in the remote camera mode?
No this model doesn't have a camera system. Look for the S7 MaxV or the Ecovacs X1 series if you want the two way audio and camera system.
No Camera on the Roborock s8 pro ultra?
No camera only on the MaxV series.
@@RobotMasters Thanks, thats big step backward
Can you review the Bosch roxxter robot vacuum
Those are hard to find, not sure if I could find one here in the USA.
Oh
Wait you still have the roborock s6 maxv, oboes p8 and deebot d77?

@@Hunterisadumb Yeah it gave it a futuristic vibe
Nice video. Good info.
Thanks for watching 👀
hello, if I buy the s8 basic version now, can I purchase the ultra docking station in the future separately and would that work together? thanks!
More than likely Roborock will sell the S8 Pro as a stand alone unit, and allow the user to buy the Ultra dock separately.
Where to shop it?
It currently not available yet, I haven't seen the release date yet.
Where the hell is the water tank ? What happens in case of problem with it and how to clean the robot water tank ? Also why the mop pad plate is non removable ?
Yes the water tank and mopping plate is not removable.
@@RobotMasters So you need to flip the robot each time you need to change the mop, and also in case of problem with the mop plate and/or water tank you are good to send back the entire robot, what a flop !!
@@theattorney6072 Yes odd, design changes from last year model.
@@theattorney6072 the mopping plate on the S7 is nothing else but a weight and velcro in it so nothing can break there, but yeah agreed that was a bad decision for putting/taking out the pad
Please test how the S8 handles 30 cm long hair
Can I ask is this better at mopping than iRobot ?
Yes it does better.
@@RobotMasters better than the Braava jet? M6? Xx
@@RobotMasters would you say it mops better than the iRobot j7 combo? That’s what I got right now?? Also does it leave streaks ?

How height? 3:48
Will there be a s8 maxv?
Haven't heard anything yet, but I am sure there will be one towards the end of the year.
@@RobotMasters ok thanks. I have another question, can you install something that can automatically open a door when the vaccine gets to it? Just wondering lol
@Weirdo18 Pools Interesting questions, I believe if you implemented an Automated system with IFTTT or Amazon Custom Voice control. I would make sure the door is already open when the robot arrives so in the map it know to go there. Sometimes if it thinks the door is closed than it won't attempt to go in that room.
If this came in black I’d buy it in a heartbeat
To me it looks like the S7 MaxV is better with the extra tech. I will wait for the comparison tests to see if the double brush and vibra are much of an improvement.
And they even dropped the Knight Rider Scanner bar that gave the bot some personality, nooooooooooooo 😩
I guess I will have to hold out another year for the S9!
I believe to keep the price lower they forgo the Reactive AI Camera system with the Reactive 3D system that doesn't have the camera. The Camera system allows the robot to recognize more objects and different floor types. As for the personality, it would be a cool feature. If you seen Samsung Bots they added eyes to their helper bots.
10:18 that result after mop cleaning isn’t very exciting 😮
Yeah could use some work
so useful . later.:))
Yes
Ohh so I got the old model 😢 i bought it yesterday…
I personally would keep the S7 MaxV. Main difference is the S7 MaxV has the video feature where you can use your smartphone to view what the robot sees. Also the performance and Navigation is similar between the two models
❤thanks!
Wish it wasn't so expensive :(
Not sure what the pricing will be on this model, but depending on your budget you can find the Dreametech w10 for half the price as the Roborock.
is it far better than s7 max V?
The increase in PA (6,000), dual brush rollers and Hot Air Drying feature are the significance updates. The S7 MaxV has the front camera and has all the other features of the S8 Pro. I would say the S8 Pro similar to the S7 MaxV, not a significant upgrade.
