Roborock S8 Pro Ultra Review
Olivia's rating
Approx. $1599.99
The most capable self-emptying robot vacuum we tested — strong on carpets, near-zero upkeep.
How it scored
What we liked
- +Excellent carpet suction
- +Self-empty + mop-wash dock
- +Reliable obstacle avoidance
What could be better
- –Premium price
- –Dock has a large footprint
We ran the S8 Pro Ultra across hardwood, low-pile and shag for three weeks. The dual-roller brush avoids tangles, and the dock handles emptying, washing and drying so you barely touch it.
