Thanks for another great & informative video! Amazing how far these have come over the last few years! Looking forward to one day having my own little bot rolling about picking up dust bunnies!
What a quick and easy video to understand the difference between those 2 robot vacuum and to know how Roborock name their products!
Thanks for watching! Glad it helped
Thank you for a great video. I have been considering for some time now upgrading my Roborock and your video really helped. It was concise to the point and very informative.
It was a great comparison, just want to mention for those who are concerned about the mop wetting feature, you can have similar functionality in the non-pro version as well when you schedule a cleaning task and not start immediately.
Thanks for such a great review. I have not yet tried a robot vacuum but these videos are really helpful for me to see all of the features and decide if they would be suitable for our family.
Such a great review. Thanks for all the effort that goes into producing this high quality content. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. I just came across this product. Useful comparison and clear!! You definitely sold me on the ultra model. Thanks 😊
Thanks for the overview! Super helpful to understand that the Pro has some parts that aren't easily removed.
I recently upgraded my traditional vacuum as I couldn't bring it up to spend this much on a robot vacuum, but I still love to see videos like this demonstrating all the incredible features.
I can recommend a cheap Xiaomi or Dreame robot as a starter if you find a deal... they're still definitely worth having!
Thanks for the clear and concise description of the different models and options. Super helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
One stop video that provides wholesome video that differentiate latest S8 series at its best. Being new to robo vaccum your videos helped me to understand technicalities and different functions of robo vaccums. Now I could confidently shop new robo vacuum with the help your videos. Thank you so much❤
No problem, glad it helped!! :)
The S8 Pro Ultra definitely seems the best for my needs. Thank you!
Every time I think I’ve made a decision about which vac to purchase, a new video comes out that has me second guessing myself!
Love these comparison videos, thank you!
The decision paralysis is real... 😁😁
Great review. I'm looking at purchasing our first robo vacuum, and this really helped narrow things down.
Awesome and detail comparison! will need the pro ultra model due to hard flooring, mopping is an important feature for me.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video, this helps a ton on the differences, didn't realize it had a black and white camera
Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! Quick and to the point. Like a broken vacuum this video doesn't suck.
Haha thanks mate
Thanks for the showcase. Would definitely want to have one at home to automate the vacuum, help the chores easy!
Hi, thank you for a very good review! Will the mop wet the rugs or do the robots lift them up high enough not to do this? I would presume that there will be miscoloring from a dirty mop after a while if not. Thanks.
This is one of the best comparison video's I have seen, short and precise! I feel like the S8+ is a good all-rounder :)
Wow, what a balanced review! It so useful to hear the pros and cons of each model rather than just get the hard sell on the top of the range product. Thank you!
I'm frugal and suspicious diminishing returns when buying things myself haha
That's really amazing! Loving your reviews
Great comparison and trying my luck to see if i can get this beast since i've been wanting it for years! xx
Thanks for great explanation on the different models.
Great comparison video, its really helpful with so many considerations
Thank you so much for explaining the difference on each, I decided on the S8 pro ultra since I have more of the hardwood floors to clean and have dogs.
Great comparison! Thank you for your informative review videos.
Thanks for brief comparison without leaving out important information! Keep up the excellent work!
Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely brilliant video. Everything I needed to know to make my decision.
Thank you for showing the differences. Been wondering about that!
Great video! It has definitely helped me narrow down which S8 model to choose.
Again, your reviews are the best! And with a hairy dog, this will be the best addition to our home. ❤
What made me subscribe is your attention to your reviews for feature details.
wowww amazing just purchased the S8 pro ultra, can't waitttt, arriving this saturday, you made me buy it lmfaooo, amazing channel
Thank you for the excellent comparison video
This video was really helpful in helping me decide which model is most suitable for my house. It is the S8 Pro Ultra as I have a lot of black marble polished concrete to keep looking smart and the carpets a not long or super thick.
Finally someone reviewing the Plus version! I think you're literally the first in depth reviewer of the S8+. I've been searching months for a video like this. Thank you so much for the effort!
I'm now actually thinking about buying the S7+ as repairability and the bagless option are something I like. I have been waiting for the S8+ due to the dual roller (thank you expired patent). But I'm now not so sure if that outweighs the other cons. 🤔
It's very similar to the Pro Ultra, which I guess is why no one has done a review. I may do a 5 min dedicated S8+ review video at some stage too to help people out!
Thanks for an informative post. I have been weighing up the choice between each of these and this video has helped me make a decision. Good job!
Which did you decide to go with?
Thanks for the important distinction between mop & tanks on each model - this will shape my choice
I love this very useful review of the different versions of the Roborock S8 as i didn’t know which is the best vacuum for my home. I am now convinced that the S8 is perfect for my great room with hardwood floors. Great work guys…
Awesome, glad to hear that it helped! I think a lot of people are wondering the same thing.
great video as always, the ultra dock is such a great upgrade!
Great review again! Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Fingers crossed i could use one!
Thank you for the informative video. I really like that the s8 brushes can go up during mopping so that it doesn't get the brushes dirty if I'm mopping something wet.
Just a quick tip (you probably already know but others may not) - don’t mop super wet things with a robot. They’re designed for damp surfaces but not actually removing liquids. It’ll cause corrosion internally long term
I just purchased a refurbished s7 for upstairs as our dog never goes up there and it's not occupied very much. I'm wanting an s8 pro ultra for downstairs though.
Thank you for the explanation as it helped remove some of the confusion I had surrounding the models.
Awesome video very informative for us to decide what's best in our lives.
Once again a great video, keep up the good work!
Awesome review thankyou
Thank you for this review. It gives me an idea what roborock to get.
Thanks for the review. I liked the comparison and your honesty.
Appreciate you watching!
Man, this would help a lot with cleaning! Great review/comparision!
Thanks for the very informative advice on choosing the right model.
How high is the cleaning unit, i.e. what must be the clear height for it to get under obstacles such as a bed?
Thanks for the review
As always an informative video keep it up guys
Great run down on the naming convention, made much more sense laid out like that.
I'm a huge fan of hands off operation and have become a convert to the mopping (used to think it was a gimmick), so I guess I'd have to go for the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. Not a fan of the fixed tank/mop, but the autoclean/dry dock is a must have. Having to flip the robot to change the pads looks to be a PITA though.
I believe there is a plumbing addon for the Ultra that autofills and empties the clean/dirty water tanks, which sounds really cool but I have no idea where I would fit that in my house :)
Re the mopping change of heart - I recently got a Dreame Z10 Pro (awesome vacuum), it just has a little onboard tank with an electric pump which I initially dismissed. Tried it out and was surprised by the shine it added to the floors - run it once a week now on deep moppingx2 (does a criss-cross). Not going to get deep stains off, but it gets the dust and sparkle done nicely.
My ultimate preference would be the Dreame L10S Ultra - auto cleaning fluid adding to the water and the dock seems better to me, better cleaning of the rotating mops and the docking station mop tray is easier to clean.
Just fyi - you don't need to flip the robot to get the mopping pads off. You can just slide it out. Pedantic point. L10S Ultra is a pretty nice unit too.
@@RobomateTV Ah, thanks, good to know.
This is so cool I can’t wait to get one of these robots. The video clearly shows the pros and cons of each vacuum and I love it! I definitely will be using this to help find my perfect robot vaccum
Glad you found it helpful!
This was super helpful, thank you!
The S8 definitely seems the model to get. Such a heard decision to make between these two. They’re both great!
Wow! Thanks for explaining this in so much detail!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the great information!
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate the roborock s8 pro ultra and eufy x9 pro today. It was very helpful! I was impressed by both machines. I see you have a review coming up for the q Revo. When is that likely to release in NZ?
I haven't had any confirmation yet for NZ (or even if they are coming at all... I presume they are).
Nice review and comparison!
Have had my S5Max for 4 years and 4 different homes now. It’s dependable and easy to get it to map new areas. I bought 2 other well reviewed brands for my finished basement and third floor. I used the RoboRock on the main floor. The non-RoboRock vacs are having battery issues but the RoboRock (the oldest vac is still running strong!! Looking at the 8+
That’s decent for a battery, particularly if it’s cleaning a bigger area. Thanks for sharing your experience
I just purchased the Dreame L10S Ultra but my list came down to just two - the other being the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra! :D But since the performance of the two was very close I went with the cheaper option. much of my decision making was facilitated by your great reviews! Thanks and wish me luck! ;)
How is it going? :) Always interested to hear
@@RobomateTV OMG I love it! It's like having another person around to help you do the vacuuming and mopping! I have been cleaning everywhere! :D There are a few things that could be improved but minor things only. Like, they could put a sensor (?) in the base station so the robot doesn't have to perform location dances before returning to base. When I put the robot down in front of the base station I would expect it to locate it immediately but that never happens. The robot also, for some strange reason, in our kitchen, doesn't clean in 1, and only 1 corner of the kitchen (about a 20 by 30 cm square) and there is no easy way to ADD space to the map (that I know). The software is really good but I would like it to be a little more granular/precise so that I can clearly see walls etc., for more precise editing. Adding a no-go zone around our cats' eating area has been a little tricky. Also, we have some hight differences and threshold transitions between a couple of rooms that are challenging for the robot so a better front wheel (?) might help in those situations - it would be great if the software could recognise that and adjust to it so it doesn't then continue to stumble over that area when it's cleaning. All-in-all, a great product that has exceeded my expectations! Thanks again for the great analysis on your channel! :D
I love your channel! Thank you so much for your well thought out, thorough and informative reviews. Curious about your suggestion on using these robots in a two-story home for the second floor?
It's definitely possible, but it works a lot better with a second charger for the other level so that it is easier for it to "relocate" when starting a clean. S8+/S8 better for this as it's easier to source the charger.
@@RobomateTV I would definitely buy a charger for the second floor, but apparently it doesn’t exist from what I’ve been able to find.
Waiting on price reduction to purchase any hybrid robo vacuums.
Nice video!
Fantastic comparison, thank you. I wonder whether we'll ever see outside of china options to plumb in the ultra bases to water supplies and drains to make them even more hands off?
Probably not this year anyway
Great video and see the difference between the versions. thank you!
No problem! Glad it helped
This video was really helpful, I didn't realize the robots were different between them, I thought it was only the dock! I would probably go for the one with the ultra dock, I'm mainly interested for the mopping!
It’s not very different, but previous generations were very different between pro and standard so I think it’ll catch some people out. Glad it helped.
Thank you for another great informative video…. Unfortunately still stuck in decision paralysis over here!
Just pick one/anything :) if you don’t currently have a robot anything will be an upgrade (*from a known brand 😅)
Great comparison review. How does it do with avoiding loose cords and not eating small throw rugs?
Liked, Subscribed, and I would choose the S8 Pro Ultra! Thank you for the informative video and I look forward to the drawing!
Fun learning ab the two different vacuums. Would definitely love one. One day.
I'll settle for a plain S8 and regular dock at this point in time lol. Great videos!
Lovely video as usual! hopefully can have one robot vacuum in my apartment in the future!
Overall, Roborock vacuum cleaners seem to be an absolute game-changer! I would be thrilled to have any of the cleaners from the S8 series. It's just a minor disappointment that the S8 lacks the 2 vibrating panels' features, but it's not a deal breaker by any means!
I would be excited to have the convenience and efficiency of keeping my floors clean.
Fingers crossed for the giveaway!
Thank you for sharing informative videos
Thanks for watching!
Great review especially highlighting the pros and cons between the models. Ultra would be the way to go given the dock and mop wetting feature.
Can buy two s8 for the price of the pro lol hmmm on upstairs and one down stairs or just one hmmm
The water removal bin and the self drying dock are pretty important, I'd pick the s8 pro ultra.
Thanks for the comparison!
Thanks for watching!
Always wanted to try one of these
I would definitely go with the S8 Pro Ultra because of the mop cleaning feature and the water refiling aspect. Even the standard model is great for everyday cleaning.
I love it too but depends on the budget and situation. Thanks for the comment.
Itll be great to have a roborock s8 for upstairs to compare with the ecovac 👌 bought this like couple months ago still going strong 😍 with style
The s8 ultra dock would be a worthy upgrade, afterall the greatest appeal of a robot vacuum compared to a traditional vacuum is the convenience and time saving aspects and features! Thank you for another great review
Thanks for watching, appreciate the support!
Hello, from Norway. Thank you for helping me to choose. I bought my very first robot last week. I choose the S8. Now, after a week I want to change it to S8+. I don't like to empty the vacuum ;) My parents, 84 years old, also bought their first robot, the same day as me. They are very happy with the S8. I will return my S8 to the store, and get a new one. If I had more money to spend I have definitely bought the Ultra.
Can you do a comparison/review for the ecovacs t20 omni to see if the heated mop does anything? Love your work thanks
I don't have a T20 at the moment! I've got really busy with work lately so a bit of a backlog... Eufy X9 Pro hopefully launching within the next few days, then Q Revo will be next.
Thanks for the explanation and run through of the differences. I'm personally waiting for the "S9 Pro Ultra Mega Zero X1 Platinum".
Christmas edition with racing stripes...
Thanks, great to see that you’re not just pushing people to the top of the line. 👍
I just want the best option for people. I don’t want people spending more than they should :)
Hello, with all these upgrades, can the S8 or S8 Pro now uses cleaning solution for mopping? Thanks.
Great looking vacuums
Thanks for the information on the differences between the models! Obviously, the Pro Ultra model delivers a true automation experience ("set it and forget it") and lowers the effort you put into the whole house cleaning process. The ability of the dock to take care of the wet mopping function (cleaning the pad, drying it, and refilling the tank) definitely eliminates those servicing tasks that I don't like about my current mopping robot (Braava). However, a major point for me that leads me to prefer the S8 over the models with docks is the issue of dock size. I would prefer the robot to be more compact and out of sight when it is off. Without the dock, the robot with its charging station can be neatly fitted under a cabinet.
I saw a setup where they cut the base out of a kitchen cabinet so the dock could fit out of site inside it.
@@blackpaw29 I've seen a few of these sorts of ideas. Looks pretty easy to do too... I recommend testing it before you go cutting up your cabinetry though.
@@RobomateTV eh, nothing a little spackle couldn't fix up!
@@blackpaw29 Duct tape! lol
Good video! I don't know if I should wait for the next generation of the Ecovacs X1 Omni compared or purchase the S8 series.
Hmm unless they’ve updated the app I’d say this at the moment
Great comparison and makes the decision on which model to chose easier
Thanks, glad it helped!
Love your reviews! I'm still undecided between the Dreame and the S8 Pro Ultra...
Did you manage to make a decision?
I love s8 , great explanation
You can make it more interesting
Great video!
This is a great comparison.
I live in a place with two levels, and I think the most ideal solution (eventually) would be to have a S8+ upstairs and the S8 Pro Ultra downstairs.
This is great to know. Thank you.
That sounds ideal to me!
So helpful to hear this review. So confusing to know which one to choose. I have the S7 V Max Ultra for our business and I find it brillaint but want to get one for home now but not sure if to go with the S8 or stick to the S7 model we've purchased previously. help please.
Depends if you’re happy with the S7 really. The improvements on the S8 won’t be as evident in day to day life as they are in the tests.
Have you tested or know if the Roborock can vacuum without issues tile floor that has slope of about 20 degrees from living room to kitchen?
Watching these reviews has completely sold me on the robot vacuum. Just wondering are these suitable for wool loop pile carpets? Cheers
They work, just keep an eye on it during first use. Might be better with an S7 or other rubber single roller option
Great video thanks, have always been confused about Roborock's naming of their systems (especially with the S7... MaxV? MaxV Ultra? MaxV SuperUltraMega?!?!) - this was really useful.
The new S7 Max Ultra will confuse more than anything! 😂
Good look into the differences. If I end up with one for sure getting ultra dock c:
