The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is a top-tier robotic cleaning solution that combines powerful suction, intelligent navigation, and near-hands-free maintenance through its all-in-one dock.

How it scored
Our full review
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra represents the pinnacle of automated home cleaning, combining powerful suction with intelligent mopping technology to tackle everyday messes without lifting a finger. At the heart of this robot vacuum mop is its FlexiArm Design, a sonic vibrating mop arm that extends to reach corners and edges typically missed by standard robotic cleaners, while its 6000Pa of suction power handles everything from fine dust to embedded pet hair across carpets and hard floors alike. The VibraRise mop system lifts the mopping pad automatically when carpet is detected, preventing wet transfer onto fabric surfaces, ensuring a seamless transition between different flooring types throughout a single cleaning cycle. What truly sets the S8 Pro Ultra apart is its all-in-one dock station, which handles the tedious aspects of vacuum maintenance so homeowners don't have to. The dock automatically empties the dustbin, washes and dries the mop pads with hot water, and refills the onboard water tank, allowing the robot to run for weeks without manual intervention. Precision mapping via LiDAR navigation and RGB cameras allows the device to build detailed floor plans of the home, avoiding obstacles like cords, shoes, and pet waste while creating customizable no-go zones through the companion smartphone app. Users can schedule cleanings, select specific rooms, and adjust suction and water flow settings all from their phone, offering complete control over their home's cleanliness. Beyond convenience, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is engineered for households with diverse cleaning needs, whether managing pet hair, hardwood floors, or high-traffic carpeted areas. The reactive AI obstacle avoidance system continuously refines its understanding of the home layout, reducing the likelihood of collisions or getting stuck under furniture. With hot water mop washing reaching up to 75 degrees Celsius, the dock ensures pads are sanitized after every use, minimizing bacterial buildup and odors that can develop in traditional mopping systems. For anyone seeking a truly hands-off approach to floor care, the S8 Pro Ultra delivers a sophisticated blend of cleaning power, smart navigation, and self-maintenance that redefines what a robot vacuum mop can accomplish in modern cleaning gadgets.

What owners say
I have two long-haired cats and this vacuum has drastically cut down my cleaning time. The self-emptying and self-washing dock means I barely have to touch it for weeks.
Performance is fantastic, obstacle avoidance is nearly perfect, and the mopping feature actually gets floors clean. Docked for one star only because of the cost and the size of the dock.
The hot water mop wash makes such a difference in odor control. Mapping multiple floors was seamless and the app is packed with useful features.
Overall very happy. Occasionally loses wifi connection mid-cleaning, but customer support was helpful. Suction power is unmatched compared to my old robot vacuum.
