Pros
- Class-leading 10,000 Pa suction and dual rubber rollers for deep carpet
- FlexiArm side brush and extending mop reach right into corners
- Best-in-class app with remote video, voice assistant and Matter
- Dock also refills the robot's water tank and dispenses detergent
Cons
- Street price is still around $1,300
- Mop pads spin rather than scrub, so dried stains take multiple passes
- Dock is large (48 cm tall) and needs a 5 cm clearance each side
Cleaning performance
Roborock's DuoRoller Riser brush and 10,000 Pa motor set our carpet benchmark: 94% high-pile debris pickup and 99% on low pile. The rollers lift 10 mm when mopping so carpets stay dry.
FlexiArm — a side brush that swings outward — dropped our corner gap to 3 cm, the best of any round robot we have tested.
Navigation, app and smart home
Reactive AI 2.0 avoided 18 of 20 obstacles and its camera doubles as a remote-viewing pet cam. The Roborock app remains the reference: fast maps, 3D view, per-room routines and a built-in voice assistant that works offline.
Matter support arrived via firmware, so it slots into Apple Home natively.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth it over the Q Revo?
Only if you have a lot of carpet or want camera-based avoidance and remote viewing. On hard floors the Q Revo cleans nearly as well for less than half the price.
