The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra are two of the best robot vacuums on the market. But which is better for your home? Here's what to know.
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra are two of the newest additions to the Roborock family. Along with having almost identical names, these robot vacuums share much of the same spec sheet — including the ability to mop and vacuum in a single cycle before automatically emptying their dustbin and cleaning their mops.
Recommended Videos Pricing and availability The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the more expensive of the two robots, clocking in at $1,800. That’s one of the highest price tags of any robot vacuum on the market. Roborock expects to start selling the device on April 20. The Roborock S8 Max Ultra will go on sale the same day and is a bit cheaper at $1,600. It’s obvious that these are positioned to be class-leading robot vacuums, with prices well above most other options from competitors .
For a more hands-off system, you’ll find models of the S8 MaxV Ultra and S8 Max Ultra that let you connect their docks to your home’s plumbing. This allows the robot to automatically refill its clean water supplies and dump its dirty water directly down drain lines. Installation may not be possible in all households , but that’s a great perk to have on both products.Additional features Once again, most features are shared across the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra.
The most notable feature available on the S8 MaxV Ultra that you won’t find on the S8 Max Ultra is the intelligent voice assistant, Rocky. This technology makes it possible to launch tasks such as cleaning rooms or adjusting cleaning modes with nothing more than your voice. You also won’t need to sync it with a third-party device, as Rocky is built right into the S8 MaxV Ultra. If you’re not worried about using the app, Rocky isn’t a big deal — but there’s no denying its convenience.
