The result keeps the S8 line as my favorite robot vacuum cleaner, and the one to beat.
The tower is substantial, although less so than recentEufyor Ecovacs vacuums.
The tanks are now a bit more hidden in the base, rather than being part of the architecture.
The robot itself looks like previous Roborock entriesthe upgrades are only evident if you flip the robot over.
I easily paired the vacuum in Google Home, and Roborock works with Apple Homekit and Alexa as well.
I imagine there will be updates to Rocky in the future.
Usually robots excel in only one area, like the Switchbot K10+, an exceptional vacuum but poor mop.
Occasionally Id get called to scrub the rollers, but thats expected.
It happened even less with this model than the previous S8.
On hard floors and rugs, the S8 MaxV Ultra continued to impress.
It was fascinating to watch the brushes kick out to capture debris.
My floor constantly has muddy paw prints and stains of unknown outdoor origin.
My kitchen floor is often a battlefield of dried peanut butter or yogurt from dog toys.
Sometimes it would require an extra pass, but the job gets done.
TheQrevo MaxVhas spinning brushes instead of the mop pad, and they can extend well away from the robot.
I expected those to work better than the mop pad, but the S8 continues to surprise me.
The mop pad vibrates to get rid of dirt and stains.
Still, I think the S8 distinguishes itself with extra conveniences and features.
If you could directly connect it to your water line, the S8 would be a no brainer.
The Qrevo has spinning brushes versus a mopping pad, but both reach out to hug the wall.
Only the S8 has high-speed sonic mopping, which helps to bust up stains and gunk on the floor.
Youll be happy with the Qrevo, but theres a reason the S8 is the flagship for Roborock.
you might set schedules and get very satisfying reports on the ground covered.
If you could afford it, its a fair price to pay for a competent household assistant.
