The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is a powerful device, but would you be better off snagging the cheaper Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra instead? Here’s a closer look.
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the latest flagship from Roborock. It clocks in at a hefty $1,600, but it offers a fully automated floor cleaning-experience. From vacuuming and mopping to emptying its dustbin and cleaning its mop, there’s not much missing from this impressive little device. However, the older S7 MaxV Ultra offers much of the same functionality and costs a bit less at $1,400.
Is the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra worth the added expense? And if you already own the S7 MaxV Ultra, should you upgrade to the S8 Pro Ultra? Here’s a comparison of the two devices to help you decide.Pricing and availability
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra costs $1,600 and will be available in late April 2023. The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra costs $1,400 and is readily available at most retailers. Both models come in either black or white and include a docking station that holds dust, clean water, and dirty water from mopping. Most shoppers will also find the S8 dock to be a bit more attractive, with a design that largely hides these reservoirs, while the S7 puts them out in the open.Vacuuming
Both the S8 Pro Ultra and S7 MaxV Ultra can vacuum your carpets and automatically empty their dustbins.
