Long term review of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. How does it compare to last year's S7 MaxV Ultra? What are its best features? What are the downsides of going with the S8? We'll walk you through those questions and more including:
A look at the obstacle avoidance performance, the new design of the robot and the dock, the new mopping system, Roborock app including smart maps, maintance tracking, issues with obstacle avoidance and specifically cords, and our recommendation on whether or not we think this robot has been worth it.
