Pros & cons

Roborock S8 Pro Ultra

  • Dual rubber brush system excels at picking up pet hair without tangles
  • Self-washing dock eliminates the grossest part of robot mop ownership
  • Sonic mopping vibrates at 3000rpm for surprisingly effective floor cleaning
  • Excellent multi-floor mapping — remembers up to 4 floors reliably
  • Consistently strong Amazon ratings with thousands of verified reviews
  • No camera means it can bump into small obstacles like shoes or cables
  • 6000Pa suction struggles with heavier debris on thick carpet
  • Dock does not use hot water, so mop pads can develop odor over time
  • VibraRise mop lift is only about 5mm, not enough for high-pile carpet

Ecovacs Deebot T30S Combo

  • Handheld vacuum combo means one dock handles both floor and above-floor cleaning
  • 11000Pa suction is excellent for deep carpet cleaning
  • Handheld charges automatically in the dock — always ready to use
  • Hot water mop washing keeps pads clean
  • ZeroTangle brush design handles long hair and pet fur well
  • Dock is absolutely massive — one of the largest on the market
  • Robot + handheld combo means more parts that can break
  • Handheld battery life is limited to about 20 minutes
  • Price is steep for what is essentially two separate devices
