Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra Robotic

T Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the most technologically refined floor-cleaning companion Roborock has produced in Australia, with a recommended retail price of $2,999. 

At its core, it delivers an astonishing 10,000 Pa HyperForce® suction, putting it among the most powerful robot vacuums on the market. That raw extraction power is paired with the DuoRoller Riser™ brush, a dual-roller design that resists hair tangles and adapts across both carpets and hard surfaces. 

What really sets it apart are the intelligent cleaning systems. The FlexiArm Design™ automatically extends the side brush into corners and beneath low furniture, ensuring you don’t get skipped-over dust bunnies. For challenging edges, the Extra Edge Mopping System places a rotating mop pad within just 1.68 mm of walls, offering precision cleaning along baseboards. 

Mopping isn’t an afterthought — the VibraRise 3.0 system combines double vibration modules, scrubbing at 4,000 times per minute, and a mop head that lifts 20 mm above the ground when encountering carpets, enabling simultaneous vacuum and mop operation without over-wetting rugs. 

The cleaning experience is made virtually hands-free through the RockDock Ultra, an 8-in-1 base that empties the dustbin, refills and drains water, washes and dries the mop at up to 60 °C, and even dispenses detergent automatically. 

It navigates your home with precision, thanks to Reactive AI 2.0, which merges 3D structured-light and an RGB camera to recognise up to 73 different obstacle types — including pet toys, shoes, even mirrors — and intelligently avoid them.. Safety around pets is taken a step further: when it detects your animal companions, it stops its main brushes and actually amplifies suction around pet feeding areas for thorough cleaning without frightening your furry friends. 

For navigation, it employs PreciSense® LiDAR mapping, creating detailed floor plans to chart the most efficient route around your home. Meanwhile, Dirt-tect™ technology tailors its approach by identifying messier areas and adapting — boosting suction for dusty zones or switching to mop-only mode higher on water output for stubborn spots. 

Convenience continues with a built-in voice assistant, “Hello Rocky”, that works even offline, so you can simply say commands like “Rocky, clean here” without needing Wi-Fi. It also supports Siri, Alexa, Google Home, and integration via the Matter smart-home standard. 

If you’d like to check on your home remotely or see what your pet is up to, the S8 MaxV Ultra offers video calling and pet-recognition functions, complete with snapshots—perfect for peace of mind while you're away  Reactive AI 2.0 handles this without storing images, and the device meets TÜV Rheinland cyber-security standards and complies with ETSI EN 303 645 regulations. 

Compact yet substantial, the robot measures approximately 350 × 353 × 103 mm, while its dock stands at 409 × 419 × 470 mm, so clearance under furniture isn’t an issue. You also get a two-year manufacturer’s warranty in Australia. 

In short, this flagship model from Roborock blends robust suction, corner-to-edge mopping, intelligent obstacle avoidance and mapping, hands-free dock services, and even pet-friendly features—all at a premium RRP of $2,999.
