Self-cleaning robot vacuum maintains itself

Roborock, which specialises in the research, development, and production of robotic cleaners and other cleaning appliances, has launched the Roborock S8 Series. The series features Roborock's strongest suction ever, at 6,000 Pa, while a newly introduced dual rubber roller brush improves dirt pickup.

The top of the line S8 Pro Ultra is designed for hands-free cleaning. It features the brand’s all-new RockDock Ultra system, which takes care of maintenance.

Self-Refilling refills the robot water tank during cleanup for a maximum mopping range of over 300 sq m. The system automatically washes the mop after use, while Self-Cleaning cleans the bottom of the dock. A Self-Drying feature dries the washed mop and the bottom of the dock with warm air, preventing mould growth and unpleasant odours. Self-Emptying automatically empties dust and dirt after each cleanup, allowing for up to 7 weeks without the need to change a dust bag. The dual brushes clean themselves as well.

The brush on the S8 Pro Ultra is automatically lifted up to 6 mm in the mop-only mode and when the robot vacuum returns to the dock, preventing cross-contamination in both instances. This liftable brush also allows users to mop up spills without damaging the robot vacuum.

The mop automatically lifts when cleaning on carpets with the VibraRise 2.0 Mopping System, and scrubs floors with sonic mopping technology at a frequency of 3,000 times per minute. The S8 Pro Ultra sports two vibration modules compared to the original mopping system for better efficiency.
