Ergonomic design
The first thing you notice about the Roborock S8 mopping robot is its design. With its coatingwhite lacquered orblack lacquered like the Dreame L10S pro, it is rather modern and discreet. It looks a lot like the previous generation model, the sensors are notably placed in the same place.
As for its size, here too it issimilar to Roborock S7. It is not too bulky, but still too wide that it sometimes cannot fit between the legs of certain pieces of furniture. On the other hand, it will easily run along walls!
The Roborock S8 robot vacuum cleaner doesn't even weigh5 kg, but it knows how to turn over anyway at its charging station alone, you will never need to carry it except to take it to another floor.
The intelligent navigation system

Roborock S8 exclusive: The double rubber brush|| |693
Une des grandes nouveautés de ce modèle Roborock est la présence d’une double interwoven rubber brush !
Just like || |707le Deebot T10, The old model only had one, and the result was already very satisfactory. On the other hand, there is only a side brush which projects the residue towards the double brush.
Whatever type of floor you want to clean, including parquet, thetiles or thecarpet, the DuoRoller brush of the Roborock S8 does not won't damage them. On the contrary, the dirt will cling to the brush and then be vacuumed up without the cleaned surface being damaged.
Moreover, the brushcan stand up when it detects that one floor is thicker than another. It will therefore adapt to facilitate the passage from a carpet to a hard floor as well as from one room to another.
The suction and washing power of the robot
Au moment où nous vous partageons notre avis sur le Roborock S8, il s’agit du robot aspirateur laveur avec the best suction power ! While that of S7 was 5000 Pa, this time it is6000 Pa. Therefore, there is no doubt that dirt, even the heaviest, can be collected easily.
As for themop, we we are still facing the VibraRise cleaning system, that is to saysonic vibrations sonic which will allow the floor to be scrubbed in a to remove stains.
Unlike the previous generation, the Roborock S8 has2 vibration modulesinstead of just one. It therefore offers us a maximum friction at 3,000 revolutions per minute and apressure of 6N !
Remote control and routine planning
If there is one useful feature that we like to find in every robot vacuum cleaner model, it is remote control! Here with the Roborock S8 we are offeredpair device to access a voice command.
Unfortunately, it doesn't exist without twinning. You will therefore have to choose betweenGoogle Home,Google Assistant, Alexa orSiri to be able to give orders to your robot.
Once you've paired your robot, you can ask it to start vacuuming, clean a specific room, or return to base. The device can also talk so you can ask it where it is and it will answer you!
Another very practical feature to save time is toplan cleaning cycles daily cleanings. And on the contrary, you can also ask it to do nothing for a specific period of time, at night for example to be sure not to be disturbed.
The Roborock S8 charging and emptying station
To recharge, the Roborock S8 will be associated with aclassic charging station. This one is rather low, so you can hide it under a piece of furniture so that it doesn't drag on your feet.
Even if we haven't tested it ourselves, know that you can buya dumpdump and cleaning station to complement the Roborock S8. This is theRoborock S8 Pro Ultra and we still inquired about its features to check if it is really useful.
The The only small aesthetic differences with the previous model are that a covering hides the bins for more discretion and that the station is a little more bulky. Otherwise, it always has aclear water tank, adirty water tankand d 'adust box.
As before, once back at the station, the robot willempty,fill andclean. However, something new caught our attention, the mop will nowdry by itself with hot air! The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is therefore even more independent.
Roborock S8 robot test
During our test, we wanted to let the Roborock S8 robot vacuum cleaner tackle different types of dirt| ||911. Le but est de vérifier s’il est capable de tout aspirer, même les résidus les plus fins. Nous avons donc pu constater qu’il a réussi à le collecter entièrement en un seul passage !
To push our test a little further, we also did theclose experiment des walls, in particular plinths. The device was able to get closer and clean the nearby surface.
While the suction is more efficient than the previous generation of robot, the vibrating mop mode remains useful while being less convincing than the previous generation of robots. manual cleaning. This is the case with most robot vacuum cleaners, even if the Roborock S8 seems to us to be one of the most efficient. It passed the spicy ketchup mixed with vinegar test with flying colors.
If we were to compare it to a similar model from another brand, like the Deebot t10 which we also tested, then we can confirm that there is not that big of a difference except regarding suction power.
Of course, a strong point of the Roborock S8 is its complete independence when combined with itsemptying and cleaning station! Since it will even clean and dry the mop, you will have almost nothing to do to keep your floors clean.
