Let’s review Roborock’s latest offerings

After getting a chance to get hands on and try out the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and the Roborock Flexi Lite Wet and Dry Floor Vacuum here’s what I thought.

Roborock Qrevo MaxV

If you’re a busy family trying to keep up with daily chaos, the Roborock Qrevo MaxV Vacuum Cleaner is about to become your cleaning superhero. Seriously, this thing is a game-changer for anyone who’s short on time but long on messes.

First off, the suction power on this vacuum is next-level – the the Roborock Qrevo MaxV Vacuum Cleaner has an unstoppable 7000 Pa HyperForce suction power. Whether it’s crumbs from snack time, pet hair, or the occasional spilled cereal, the Qrevo MaxV handles it all with ease. You won’t have to worry about going over the same spot multiple times – it picks up everything in one go, saving you tonnes of time.

One feature that’s perfect for families on the go is its smart mapping technology. It learns the layout of your home and navigates around obstacles like furniture and toys without any fuss. You can even set it to clean on a schedule through the app, so while you’re out picking up the kids or running errands, the vacuum is getting your floors sparkling clean.

And if you’ve got pets, you’re going to love this. The Qrevo MaxV has a powerful brush system designed to tackle pet hair without getting tangled. It also has a high-efficiency filter that traps allergens, which is a big plus if you have allergies in the family.

Battery life is another win here. It’s got enough charge to clean a large area in one go, and if it needs a recharge, it’ll automatically return to its docking station, top up, and resume cleaning where it left off. This means you don’t have to worry about constantly babysitting it.

Overall, the Roborock Qrevo MaxV is perfect for busy families who need a reliable, hands-off way to keep their home clean. It’s smart, efficient, and takes a huge chunk of the cleaning load off your shoulders. If you want to spend less time vacuuming and more time enjoying family life, this vacuum is definitely worth a look!

What else I loved about The Qrevo MaxV:

• The Qrevo MaxV delivers strong suction power, making quick work of crumbs, dust, pet hair, and other debris. This means fewer passes are needed to get your floors clean, saving you time and effort.
• With advanced mapping and navigation technology, this vacuum can intelligently map out your home, avoid obstacles like furniture and toys, and clean every nook and cranny efficiently. This means it won’t get stuck or bump into things, reducing interruptions during its cleaning cycle.
• You can set up cleaning schedules through the Roborock app. This feature allows you to program the vacuum to clean when it’s convenient for you—whether that’s while you’re at work, running errands, or busy with the kids.
• Designed with a specialized brush system and powerful suction, the Qrevo MaxV handles pet hair with ease. This is particularly beneficial for families with furry friends who shed often.
• The vacuum includes a high-efficiency filter that captures allergens and dust particles, which is great for improving indoor air quality and helping with allergy management.
• The Qrevo MaxV has a robust battery life that can cover a large area on a single charge. If the battery runs low during a cleaning session, the vacuum will automatically return to its charging dock, recharge, and resume cleaning from where it left off.
• The vacuum’s design makes it simple to clean and maintain. The dustbin is easy to empty, and the brushes are straightforward to remove and clean, which helps keep your vacuum in top shape with minimal hassle.
• It operates quietly compared to many other vacuums, which is a big plus if you’re running it while the kids are napping or during late hours.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

First things first it looks good! Nobody wants an eyesore in the corner, and it’s clear that Roborock have really thought about style and modern living when it comes to design.

After having a few robot vacuum failures over the years – it has been challenging to find one clever enough to negotiate the drop into our stairwell without launching itself off or sending us crazy with alerts – I was keen to see how the sensors and navigation on this new tech worked.

Roborock’s Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition technology can recognise and differentiate between floor and room types, accurately identifying 73 obstacles to navigate, including floor mirrors and pet supplies and yes, even stairwells. This is a fantastic feature for families who can rest assured that any toys and kid paraphernalia is not going to get in the way of the robot-vac doing its job and keeping your floors clean.

It’s also handy to know pet droppings being smeared from one end of your home to the other are now a thing of the past. Ew!

What else I loved about the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra

• It’s quiet! So quiet.
• The software is equipped with the automatic pet recognition for pet safety and the camera and microphone provide a unique way to interact and communicate with your pet with a video camera that you can remotely access! So cute.
• The warranty covers 24 months from the date of purchase offering peace of mind.
• The self-emptying for the dustbin, self-refilling of the water tank, self-cleaning for the dock base, and self-drying heated air for drying the mop and dock base means more work for the robot and less work for us! Hooray. Plus it’s super sanitary which is a win.
• The FlexiArm Design™ Side Brush means no corner or under-furniture space is left untouched and the Extra Edge Mopping System tackles dirt along baseboards and in every conceivable nook.
• With four kids and a border collie, the 99.5% hair pick-up rate on carpet is a dream.

Roborock Flexi Lite Wet and Dry Floor Vacuum

This handy, lightweight unit is so easy to use. No heavy lugging from room to room here. Plus Roborock’s FlatReach™ technology really does offer thorough cleaning under furniture with gaps as low as 15cm. No more awkward dust and dirt under the buffet and beds.

From dust to spills everything is covered here in just one stroke. Mother-in-law at the front door? You really can clean in minutes. Winning!

What else I loved about the Roborock Flexi Lite Wet and Dry Floor Vacuum:

• Roborock are masters at giving users self-cleaning products and the Flexi Lite is no exception. It self-cleans with a roller scrape and water spray module as well as hot air self-drying feature that means it’s cleaner AND your floors are cleaner. No icky mop smells here.
• When they say it easily reaches edges and corners, they mean it – the side margin is less than 1mm, you won’t get closer than that unless you get down and do it yourself. No thank you.
• The LED screen and alerts are fantastic, you know exactly what’s going on with real-time updates and operational reminder voice alerts.
