The S8 MaxV Ultra is a powerful robot vacuum with up to 10,000 Pa suction power and 4,000 rpm mopping. The Extra Edge Spinning mop and FlexiArm side brush are said to provide edge-to-edge cleaning, and a DirTect tool can be used to adapt the cleaning plan based on the level of dirt detected by the robot. On top of that, the RockDock Ultra provides hot water and air to wash and dry the mop, as well as automatic emptying and replenishing of the onboard dustbin and water tanks. Roborock also claims it is the first Matter-certified robot vacuum on the market, allowing integration with many smart home platforms. However, Switchbot models like the SwitchBot K10+, launched last year, also offer Matter support. Pricing for the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra robot vacuum and mop in other countries like Canada and the UK has yet to be announced.
