What reviewers say about the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
Two whitelisted hands-on reviews survived verification (TechRadar and TechHive); both testers used the robot. They agree it is a strong-but-pricey flagship with excellent suction, quick and accurate mapping, and an intuitive app, but only mixed/decent mopping. TechHive measured about 95 percent hard-floor and 100 percent carpet rice pickup and a roughly 10-minute whole-home map. TechRadaR and TechHive split on voice-assistant and cable/obstacle reliability.

It excels at the basics, offering reliable cleaning of hard floors and carpet.
some of the more advanced features are a little buggy – in my tests, the onboard voice assistant was unreliable and the extending side brush often failed to emerge when required
Like a shy turtle, it refused to emerge, even in scenarios when it was clearly needed.
hard-floor rice pickup, AI SmartPlan: about 95 percent · carpet rice pickup: 100 percent · whole-home mapping run time: about 10 minutes
The S8 MaxV Ultra's obstacle avoidance was superb; it never got stuck, not even on some charging cords that I left on the floor
My mopping tests yielded mixed results.
But it doesn't clean appreciably better than some more affordable competitors.
