What the tests like and dislike about the Roborock S8+
Pros
- Vibrating mop lifts over rugs, so it vacuums and mops in one run Vacuum Wars ↗
- Steers around clutter better than most robots, with a light for dark corners Vacuum Wars ↗
- Gets embedded sand out of carpet far better than the typical robot Vacuum Wars ↗
Cons
- The dock empties the bin, but you still wash the mop pad yourself Vacuum Wars ↗
- Long human hair still tends to collect around the rollers Vacuum Wars ↗
- Battery efficiency was only average next to the Q8 Max+ Vacuum Wars ↗
Each point sums up, in our words, the review of the test it names, and its link leads to that review. We do not summarise RTINGS or Wirecutter: their lists are linked above.
Roborock S8+ specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Roborock · on the market since March 2023
Consumables: a 2.5 l dust bag in the station, which lasts up to 49 days.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The dock needs a spot 31 cm wide and 44 cm deep.
Suction and brushes 2 facts
- Suction power
Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.
- 6,000 Pa
- Anti-tangle brush
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
Mopping 2 facts
- Mop type
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- flat or vibrating pad
- Mop lift on carpet
How far the robot lifts the mop when it drives onto a carpet. From about 10 mm a medium pile stays dry.
- 5 mm
Dock 5 facts
- Empties the dust bin
The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.
- yes
- Bagless
The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.
- no
- Dust bag capacity
How much the dust bag in the dock holds.
- 2.5 l
- Dust bag lasts
How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.
- up to 49 days
- Dock size (w × d × h)
The width, depth and height of the dock. Measure the spot you have in mind, and leave room for the lid and for the robot driving in.
- 30.5 × 44 × 44.8 cm
Navigation and obstacles 3 facts
- Navigation
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.
- LiDAR turret
- Obstacle avoidance
How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.
- 3D sensor (structured light)
- Climbs thresholds up to
The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
- 20 mm
Robot 2 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 9.7 cm
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with an auto-empty dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 350 ml
Battery 2 facts
- Battery capacity
The capacity of the battery. It hints at the runtime, but how much the robot draws counts just as much.
- 5,200 mAh
- Runtime per charge
How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.
- 180 min
Smart features and warranty 1 fact
- Home Assistant
Whether the robot works with Home Assistant, the home automation software you run yourself. Official means the integration comes with Home Assistant itself, community that volunteers maintain it.
- official integration
