Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra, our favorite robovac, is cheaper than ever

Spring cleaning season is here, which is probably why we’re seeing retailers slash prices on top-tier robot vacuums like the Dreame X40 Ultra and Eufy X10 Pro Omni. Yet it’s the deal on the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra — our favorite robot vacuum overall — that stands out the most. Right now, you can buy the excellent robovac / mop hybrid for $999.99 ($700 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Roborock at this new all-time low price.

Boasting 10,000Pa of suction power, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra delivers exceptional vacuuming performance with a pair of rubber roller brushes that can suck up dirt impressively well. It also comes with camera-equipped AI obstacle avoidance, so you don’t need to worry about it getting tangled up in clutter. The S8 Max V Ultra can additionally lift itself up to scrub your floors, courtesy of a sonic mop that vibrates up to 4,000 times a minute. That allows it to easily clean up spills, while its flexible mop arms allows the robovac to reach corners and baseboard edges for an even more thorough clean.

Aside from being a terrific vacuum and mop, the Roborock S8 Max V Ultra also offers its own on-device voice-assistant so you don’t need to use an app or buy a third-party speaker to make voice commands. That said, you can if you’d like to, given the robovac is also one of the first on the market to support Matter, making it compatible with major smart home platforms.
