Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
The strongest all-round performer for pet hair on hard floors and low to medium carpet, with an obsessively complete dock. If most of your floors are thick, high-pile carpet, look elsewhere: that is the one surface where reviewers find it least convincing.
Our editorial rating, not aggregated user reviews
Independent testing puts pet-hair pickup at roughly 99% by weight, about as good as robot vacuums get, and the dock is the most complete self-maintaining system on the market. It is not higher because reviewers raise the same three points consistently: it is very expensive, thick high-pile carpet is its weakest surface (the 20mm mop lift risks dragging damp fur), and the dock develops odours if you neglect it.
Pros
- Around 99% pet-hair pickup by weight in independent testing
- 10,000 Pa suction, with a dual-roller design that resists hair tangling
- The most complete dock available: auto-empty, hot mop wash, heated drying
- Reactive AI 2.0 obstacle avoidance genuinely helps in a home where the floor is never clear
- Strong app with 3D mapping and room-specific cleaning
Cons
- Expensive, and reviewers say so consistently
- Thick high-pile carpet is its weakest surface; the 20mm mop lift risks dragging damp fur across it
- The dock can build up odours if you do not keep on top of cleaning it
- Deeply embedded dirt in medium-pile carpet needs several passes
- Large dock footprint, and loud at maximum suction
