Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Two whitelisted hands-on reviews (TechRadar, TechHive) agree the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vacuums very well but mops only decently. TechRadar praises reliable suction across debris sizes; TechHive reports excellent hard-floor pickup and 100% rice removal on carpet. Neither ran a weighed lab bench, so no measured percentages are recorded. Both note mopping is mixed and that the product is expensive. TechRadar additionally flags an unreliable voice assistant and poor corner pickup by the extending brush. (2 sourced reviews.)
Praised: Strong, reliable vacuuming performance across hard floors and carpet with different debris sizes; Intuitive Roborock app with extensive customization options; Excellent obstacle avoidance and fast, accurate mapping (~10 min map).
Flagged: Mopping only mixed; vibrations can't lift embedded/dried-on dirt; Expensive (TechHive: $1,799.99 for the reviewed config); Voice assistant unreliable at basic approved commands.
Two whitelisted testers (Reviewed's lab, TechRadar hands-on) both rate the DEEBOT X2 Omni among the best vacuum-mop hybrids: excellent debris pickup, strong mopping, and standout object avoidance. Both flag the very high list price (Reviewed cites over $1,400; TechRadar lists $1,499.99). TechRadar's main knock is mop pads that skip room edges; Reviewed's is dirty pads on thick rugs. (2 sourced reviews, 2 lab-tested.)
Praised: Excellent vacuum and mop cleaning performance on debris and stains; Top-tier object avoidance and lidar navigation; Self-emptying, self-washing/drying base station and rich feature set.
Flagged: Very high list price (over $1,400 / $1,499.99); Mop pads don't extend, leaving room edges/corners untouched; App struggles to demarcate rooms in open floor plans.
