The original Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra was a great success for Roborock. Many people were upset when they stopped selling them so it is no wonder that people are excited about the new S8 MaxV Ultra. It has grown up quite a bit with many changes, but as you will see in this video some of those changes have created a few issues and some are less than perfect.

Great video, covering in detail all the important factors good and bad! Happily keeping S7 MaxV with water refill system for the time being.

EXCELLENT review! Good thing is most of these are software updates and HOPEFULLY Robo is listening! This was 2k for a 2n1 and I agree with ALL you’ve expressed in concerns or CONS

Thanks Jamie for another great review. I also have a lot of respect for RoboRock. Knowing that its navigation is rock solid (no pun intended!) is very reassuring and my respect for RoboRock put the s8 MaxV Ultra at the top of my shortlist to replace my ageing Ecovacs T8 AIVI but having seen this review, although as you say it’s by no means a bad robot, I’m now thinking that I’m very definitely going to wait until the Dreame X40 has been out long enough to have a few thorough reviews published (including yours) but right now my hunch is that it will be the X40 that I end up buying, specifically the X40 Master if I can get it in the UK because that plumbed-in docking station that integrates flush with kitchen cabinets is the neatest implementation of a dock that I’ve seen and the kitchen is where my robot’s docking station lives so it would be perfect for me.

Great review. I've been looking forward to your review to see if it's worth upgrading, expecially with the trade-in program. However some of the new features sound better on paper than in reality. I think I'll hang on to my S7 Max Ultra and see what the S9 Max Ultra or S9 MaxV Ultra have to offer maybe next year. Thanks for the review and keep up the excellent work.

Finally the honest review I was expecting. Everyone too much excited for this product, but my impressions is RR is going to add new features without fixing the little downsides of the past models. What a pity! The last concrete robot from them was the S7 MaxV ultra, then they were lost… :( Thank you for the detailed and hard work, please continue to be this impartial as always.

I've had my S8 maxv for a week and can tell you it is much improved over my s7 maxv it seems quieter more responsive and does a better job of obstacle avoidance. My old s7 had a few scratchs from hitting things from what I've observed the S8 seemed more careful and I like the redesigned dock it definitely seems like a nice upgrade and yes its more attractive. Thanks for your review.
