    These things are getting pretty great. I'm hoping the next iteration is designed to potentially connect to a water supply and drain, a la' a washing machine. With additional improvements in battery tech, I could see a not-so-distant future where self-filling and emptying robot vacuums and mops become a home-design consideration alongside the dishwasher or washing machine.
    Bummer about the lower power and lackluster dual-brush results, but that level of precise detail is exactly why I watch your reviews!

    Thank you for the great review. I considered both the S8 and the S7 and went with the S7. With a mix of very low pile carpets and wooden floors in our house, the S7 performs great, and the extra cost of the S8 didn't seem justified. Based on the many reviews on TH-cam, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni seemed a great second choice, especially with the much lower price tag. Coming from an S6 that I've used for 3+ years with excellent service, and seeing Roborock's product development helped me decide. The only gripe is there is no warning when the onboard dust bin is full. A drying attachment is available for the S7 for about $100, but since I only mop the entire house once a week, I just remove the mop head, throw it in the washer, and let it air dry. No odor problems. Emptying the dirty water container after a mop job, rinsing it with water and adding a few drops of disinfectant eliminates another source of odor. Based on other reviews, I understood the S8 was better on carpeting, especially in homes with dogs or cats who are always shedding. This review may question that assumption. Since we don't have dogs or cats, that made the S7 a better choice for us. It's a wild market these days with lots of robots out there that do a variety of things. Reviews like this help people choose the model that's best for their needs and that meet their budgets. Thanks again for your hard work and presentation!

      Compared to the s8 or the s7?
      I can't find an x1 omni cheaper than an s7 maxv ultra, and honestly I don't find s8 being worth it, seems to not behave that much better than the s7.
      I'd say skip this one and go for s9 if you are on the fence, I'm looking at s7s for round 800 which seems to be perfect, split it in 4 payments and it's as if you paid a maid to come clean your place in those months, and then she keeps working for "free"

      @@user-bl4lf9rg8m If you have carpeting, you may find the S8 performs better with pet hair. I'm also hearing that people who bought the S7 are buying the roller brush for the Roborock Q5. This is a brush roller, unlike the rubber roller that comes with the S7. The brush roller seems to greatly improve the S7s carpet vacuuming ability. As with ANY robot, if you have shedding animals in your home, be sure to check the roller, spinning brush and wheels to avoid hair tangles and poor performance.

    One thing to note when comparing the S7 MaxV Ultra to the S8 Pro Ultra is that when you did your navigation tests on the S7, the navigation system probably didn't have the navigation system updates that it now has with the S8. Just something to keep in mind with the software updates that older models have gotten in the time since.

Better than my Braava Jet, so I'm glad I can put that thing away! The vacuuming though, to be honest, my previous Neato D10 did a better job in a single pass on hardwood floors. (I have a Roomba S9+ for the carpets upstairs, and it's fantastic too.) The rest of the features blow the poor D10 out of the water though. Only thing I might add is that this robot sure talks alot!

    I’ve bought three shark vac types based on his review and they are spot on. He does summarize in detail about the pros and cons and budget of vaccum models and is on point. I just can’t see myself paying over $1,000 for a robot vacuum that is not perfect. Especially, if it is weaker in suction than the Roborock Ultra S7. Shark tends to be 1-2 year behind technology improvement features compared to Roborock but their price point is a lot wallet friendlier.

    • @asdcdweadasd
      @asdcdweadasd ปีที่แล้ว +5

      YES. Well, if you care about mopping. I upgraded from N8 pro+ to dreame L10S, and It's a night and day difference when it comes to auto emptying and obstacle avoidance. In the past 2 months I've had the dreame, it got stuck twice (once by tangling up with a sock, once with a curtain) - and I have a messy home, courtesy of 3 cats and a dog. Speaking of, it never failed to auto empty the fur - a recurring problem for me on the N8. Vslam comes in handy with animals too. It's also consistently faster, quieter (now I have the robot set to run mopping&vacuuming cycle daily before my alarm clock), and gets better coverage.
      If you can find L10S for cheaper than the roborock, get it - It's almost the same vacuum by what I've seen in the review, and at last, a one that I can call perfect. It does what the box says.

    I have the S7 Ultra with the auto water fill/drain dock (ordered from china, they dont sell it "officially" in the rest of the world). And THATS a real game changer. Never have to worry about how many times a day/week the robot mops because it always has water in the tank and also empties the waste accordingly. No going back to manual water changes after that. I would not buy the S8 and then the special fill/drain dock for it again (costs around 30% on top of the ULTRA model) just for upgraded dual brushes and a little better mop system.

    Shipping the G20 (S8U equvilant) overseas is also a viable option, consider it's about $720 not counting shipping. Adding all the cost it's still half the price comparing to S8U. The only down side might be the warranty.

    @telradical9435 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    to stay on the carpet better, without a doubt the solution is to place two mops, a smooth rubber one on the front to catch most of the hair and put another mop like the conventional ones, it doesn't make sense to put two identical mops, or put a mop with a brush and the system When turning, cut the hair.

The table area needs it only once a week. I divided the one room into three separate rooms which spares me the job of creating zones every time I vacuum.

    RE: Floor Mapping
    When first freeing a robotic vacuum to chart the perimeter of rooms, is it best to pull away from walls as many furnishings as feasible? Seems a more accurate floor plan would result in more thorough cleaning, regardless of what’s sitting where when later sweeping and mopping. Thank you for your guidance and rigorous reviews!

    • @c0unterph0bia
      @c0unterph0bia ปีที่แล้ว

      I've vacuumed over a million square ft with these robots. The answer is... sometimes. Try mapping the way that requires the least effort possible first. Quick map, then clean & map if that fails, resetting each time. Use temporary no-go lines and zones for difficult areas which you observe cause the map to distort. The map will "correct" itself over time with each run. Always save a backup to restore in case your map becomes warped. You might need to partition your home into two "rooms" or put no-go lines between certain walkways or doorways. It's a bit like a game, but you can eventually get any map to be "perfect". Don't forget to save a backup.

Theorising why it didn't impress you when it comes to the crevices and sand - I imagine that the much larger aperture for the dual rollers would decrease the floor pressure of the suction. I think the dual rollers are better for hair and dust/fluff/lint than the S7 MaxV which I found struggled with the standard brush for some pet owners. Keep up the good work!

    Edging closer and closer to perfection but not quite there yet. It's great to hear that apart from the occasional catching of a carpet/rug edge the mop lifting does work. I heard some reports on the s7 Ultra that the pad didn't lift quite high enough and could still brush the mopping pad against the very top of a medium to high pile carpet. I can understand that clearing high pile might be unrealistic but clearing medium pile well is a must in my view so good to hear that the s8 Pro Ultra is doing that.
    My few regrets based on this review are...
    1 - It's disappointing to hear that vacuum power, power efficiency and deep carpet cleaning seem to have gone backwards vs the previous s7 generation.
    2 - I didn't like the look of those tangles on the brushes. I had Roombas where the brushes looked similar in the past with hair and threads wrapped around the brushes and the ends of the axles. One thing that I like about my current Ecovacs T8 AIVI is that I never seem to get any threads or hairs wrapped around the brush and the ends of the axle stays very clean. I was having to unwrap stuff from around my Roomba i7+ brushes and remove a lot of fluff from around the ends of the axles after most runs whereas my Ecovacs brush never needs attention apart from when the app tells me to replace it.
    2 - Although I think it's great that the camera is no longer necessary for object avoidance I'd still like one in my perfect robot. Ecovacs provides a plastic cover that slips over the front so that could easily be provided for people with privacy concerns and with the new structured light system would no longer compromise object avoidance but for those of us who don't have privacy concerns an onboard camera gives the ability to photograph objects avoided (useful to see anything falsely recognised as an obstacle that might be confusing the robot) and also for home patrol - rather gimmicky I know but you never know when you just might need it. Perhaps more importantly though a visible light camera could probably work out when the robot was close to a junction between a hard floor and a carpet or rug and make sure it doesn't span the boundary to avoid that issue of wetting the edge of a rug or carpet.
    One other thing on the s8 Pro Ultra. I believe that you can get plumbing kits for the Ultra base now so that you can connect it to a cold water supply and a drain if those are close to the dock so that the waste water tank can automatically be emptied when it gets full using a lift pump to pump it out and the fresh water tank automatically filled when it drops below a certain level to give an even more hands-off experience.
    I'm still very tempted by the s8 Pro Ultra and am not sure whether I can hold out from buying an s8 Pro Ultra for another year until the s9 comes out (probably) because the s8 seems to be so close to perfect.

      I purchased the S8 Pro ultra and ended up sending it back and going with the S7 MaxV. I waited for all the updates and all the promises and it is just nowhere as good with obstacle avoidance as the camera based. They make all these big claims but the S7 Max v is just so much better and I got one refurbished from Amazon for $900 that was basically brand new with $100 three warranty. I honestly can't think of a good reason to go with the essay besides I'm certain some of these reviewers get kick backs.

With very low pile and low traffic carpeting on the 2nd floor, and mostly hardwood on the first, I chose the S7 since many reviews said it was superior on hardwood floors. I didn't feel the added price for the S8 was justified for my needs. And, ok, I admit it. I love the hell out of that video camera. Being an old man in a big house, this has changed my life.

I was hoping for an all out knockout with the S8 but with the low carpet deep clean score and crevice pickup, I'm wondering if I should get it. Do you think they can fix this with a software update that improves suction? Or maybe we now need to run the robot on higher suction power to assist with the pickup? Please do a follow up video about this; I hope you'll do more tests and investigation on it. Maybe Roborock can help answer some questions too.
