## What reviewers say

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. (Based on 2 reviews, 2024-05-24–2024-07-30.)

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; Extending side/edge brush leaves debris in corners; flings some debris out of path.
Disagreement: No direct contradiction, but the two diverge on the voice assistant and overall recommendation. TechRadar found the voice assistant unreliable at basic commands, whereas TechHive reported it responded reliably and accurately followed specific commands. On value, TechHive concludes cheaper rivals (Eufy X10 Pro Omni, Roomba j9+) clean comparably so it wouldn't be its first pick, while TechRadar is more forgiving. Neither performed lab-measured, weighed debris-pickup testing.
