We Analyzed the New Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, Which Promises to Clean Corners with a Robotic Arm and Offers a Base That Does Everything by Itself.
According to technology portals like The Verge, which covered the launch at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January 2024, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra represents the most advanced in automated home cleaning. This robot vacuum model is not just an update, but a technological leap that aims to solve chronic problems of other robot vacuums, such as corner cleaning and truly autonomous maintenance.
The standout feature of the device is the combination of power with enhanced artificial intelligence. It hits the market with the promise of offering a complete cleaning solution, from powerful suction to floor washing and self-maintenance, requiring minimal human intervention. Its proposal is to be the ultimate solution for those seeking total automation.
What Is the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra?
The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is Roborock’s flagship model for 2024. It is a 2-in-1 robotic vacuum and mop, designed to operate with maximum independence. The “Ultra” in the name refers to its multifunctional docking station, the RockDock Ultra, which automates emptying, washing, drying, and refilling tasks. The “MaxV” indicates the use of a navigation and obstacle avoidance system with a camera and AI (Artificial Intelligence).

Cutting-Edge Technology, the Differentiators of the S8 MaxV Ultra

The main innovation of this model is the set of technologies to reach difficult areas.
FlexiArm Robotic Arm and Side Mop: to solve the problem of corners and edges, Roborock implemented a small robotic arm that extends the side brush to reach dirt where round robots typically miss. Additionally, a small rotating side mop acts to clean the edges of the floor.
Reactive AI 2.0 Recognition System: equipped with an RGB camera and 3D structured light, the robot can identify and avoid 73 types of obstacles, including pet hair, shoes, cords, and toys, optimizing the cleaning route in real time.
Voice Assistant “Hello Rocky”: the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra features a native voice assistant. The user can issue voice commands directly to the robot, such as “Hello Rocky, come clean here,” without the need for a smartphone or third-party smart speaker (like Alexa or Google Assistant).
Autonomous and Intelligent Cleaning, How the RockDock Ultra Works
The base of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is one of the most complete systems on the market. Its functions eliminate almost all manual maintenance:
Washes the mop with hot water at 60°C to dissolve stains and grease.
Dries the mop with hot air to prevent odors and mold growth.
Automatically empties the robot’s dustbin.
Refills the robot’s water tank.
Automatically dispenses the cleaning solution.
Suction Power and DuoRoller Riser Brushes
The cleaning power of the robot is ensured by a set of high-performance components. The suction reaches an impressive 10,000 Pa (Pascals), one of the highest available on the market, ensuring the removal of heavy dirt from carpets and crevices.
The DuoRoller Riser brush system consists of two rubber brushes that rotate in opposite directions to prevent hair tangling. The “Riser” system allows the brushes and mop to automatically lift: the brushes raise when passing over areas that are being mopped, and the mop lifts when detecting carpets, avoiding wetting them. The VibraRise 2.0 sonic mopping system vibrates 4,000 times per minute to scrub the floor actively.
Price and Availability in Brazil

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra was launched in the American market with a suggested price of US$ 1,799.99. The official arrival in Brazil still depends on authorized distributors and the brand’s strategy for Latin America.
Typically, products in this category arrive in the Brazilian market with a significantly higher price, due to import taxes, logistics, and profit margins. The investment decision will depend on the final price practiced in the country and the consumer’s need for a device with the utmost automation and available technology.
