Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra
2024 Roborock flagship with camera, hot water dock and edge mop
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth it? A former flagship that still cleans hard floors and carpet well and has one of the most complete docks, now far below its $1,799.99 list. It costs $800 as of Nov 4, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
A former flagship that still cleans hard floors and carpet well and has one of the most complete docks, now far below its $1,799.99 list. Testers found its mapping fast and its mopping strong on dried stains, but obstacle avoidance and the voice assistant were unreliable. Newer Saros models are lower and climb higher, so buy this one only at a deep discount.
Best for: buyers who want a full featured dock at a discount. Skip if: you need to clean under low furniture.
