Can you do a review for ecovacs t20 omni as well? Love your work thanks
@@ydk5912 I haven’t even got one at this stage but maybe!
Good robot
Beware of scammers! There are hundreds of comments by bots that are trying to impersonate us saying you have won. This is NOT us - we won't be drawing the winner until the product is launched in the USA!
Have you announced a winner yet?
This is great!
Really impressed with how far robot cleaners have come - love the dedication to the set building as well!
First time viewer here. Found your channel while researching for our first robot vacuum. As a young, busy family with a toddler, trying to keep the floors in somewhat of a good condition can be tricky at best. One of these would certainly be a massive help. Thanks for running the competition and for the informative review. Even if we don't win, it's still a great resource for the Aus/NZ region. So many reviews are only relevant for the US market so this channel is a great help 👍🏻😊
As someone with allergies and a very busy work life, this seems to be a game changer. I've lived in a house with a robovac but I was never sure how well it actually cleaned. Great to see the focus on efficacy not just convenience in this model - that dust box comparison was incredible!
The improvements that RoboRock is making are insane!! Can't wait to see what the future holds!
Happy to hear the mop feature is catching up to the vacuum feature. I was also happy to hear it functions better overall than the current model. Love it when the next model really does advance. It’s out of my price range unfortunately. I don’t have any robots. But a stay at home Mum can watch and dream. Great video. 😊
You’re review is the best because of the realistic comparisons you offer; well done.
Great review and test of the vacuum! I am an absolute robot vacuum nerd and I have a very very old Roomba i2. I have been watching videos on the S8 Ultra and I am EXTREMELY impressed! The features just keep getting better and better, and while nothing in the world is perfect, this is about as close as we will get to perfect! The cleaning power, mop abilities, and self cleaning really make this thing a beast of a machine. There are other options out there, yes, but this one really takes every detail to the next level! I am super impressed! Thank you for the in-depth testing, not a lot of other channels go to this extent! Much appreciated!
Really appreciate this review. With so many options out there, it's difficult being sure I'm comparing the right differences on all the devices. The trials you put them through really do help me understand the pros & cons. This latest model looks like a great bit of kit and I am particularly impressed not just with it's level of cleaning but the way it cleans itself afterwards. I have an early model and learnt pretty quickly that I really needed to wash the mop pad pretty quickly after use... Great that this one cleans and dries the mop pad. I'm in the Waikato and my long haired beastie would give this Roborock model a heck of a workout. Thanks for the advice.
A great review on a great robotic vacuum. It looks like an awesome product.
We have S5 max since it came out, and still love it. This one is really game changer, and worth the upgrade. Cannot believe that manual vacuuming could finally come to an end :)
S5 Max is a bit of a classic, which I suspect this may be too. :)
Really appreciate the review, I've been really looking at purchasing an s7, but may need to hold out after watching this! New viewer, but appreciate the audio, editing, and overall quality while keeping it applicable rather than just spouting technical numbers. Look forward to future videos!
I've been looking to purchase a robot vacuum/mop for my new house, but was really overwhelmed by other reviews online and on KZhead. I stumbled across your video and you've basically sold me the product. A genuine thumbs up to you for this review video, you made it so thorough, answered all my questions and even added in the personalised tests in comparison to the v7. Great job, keep it up!
Videos like these are quite helpful when researching for robot vacuums for the first time. It seems like it would not be a big difference compared to the previous model especially when I only have hard flooring. This seems like it would be a great time saver since I am quite lazy when it comes to vacuuming the house.
Not as big of a difference as on carpet, for sure. Still a bit of an upgrade though mopping-wise.
I love how you guys did a direct comparison between the S7 and S8. I’ve been debating buying the S7 or waiting for the S8, and this video convinced me to wait.
S8 pro ultra has already been in asia for quite awhile. You won't regret this buy. I've slight ocd and used to vacuum every single day even unused rooms. s8 pretty much made me forget about the cleaning part because i can just set it up to work when i goes to work. Just need to clean it once a week.
Love this comparison! I was an early adopter of iRobot but IMO Roborock is way ahead of them at this point. I wouldn’t go back. They only thing I’m hoping to see is the possibility of replacing the battery and other parts as one can do with iRobots. This kind of money is a lot to spend if the machine is rendered useless once the battery goes.
I really like to watch your videos, because they come across as honest, indepth and robust testing of the product without undue financial influence!
I've always been so fascinated with those machines. They're just so smart and keep evolving everyday. Saw the S7 on a tech youtuber's channel and decided to look it up. Happy to see there's a channel dedicated to Roborock :)
Great Review! I love the real world tests, crazy how much pet hair it actually picked up as well. Also thanks for showing how well the mop was cleaned after the self cleaning, I haven't seen that before in a review!
Yep! None of the hair was actually very visible on the rug. It’s not like that rug hasn’t been vacuumed - I guess their usual vacuum just sucks 😏
I have the Roomba J7+ with the dual rollers and even though its suction is low, compared to the high-end vacuums - it does a great job. So I do believe that the dual rollers makes a huge difference. Roborock was the first to jump in after the iRobot patent expired and I expect all others to follow in the future.
Certainly an interesting few months ahead in the robot vacuum market… Roborock timed it well, if it did indeed just expireb
@@RobomateTV As far as I know the patent expires end of March. Suppose that is why the official release is only April for the S8 :)
@@UsefulFactsReels how do you find that? I never got to test one, hard to find them
This is a great review! Thank you very much for the in depth review and giving all the needed info!
By far the best comparison I've seen so far! Great work. Hope this channel grows fast - much underrated! ❤
I love to see all the improvements! Built in dryer is great to see. Also, very nice to see that the base is almost fully inclosed. I wish they had a Bagless option for the dock though 😢. I hate the idea of having to look for bags that may be impossible to get down the road.
Love the drying all ready on board . Just waiting on Bayless. Love it❤.
@@tracyt8387 Bagless would be a great addition...
Really great video. Liked the idea of showing how it performs on spills left to sit over night as this is possibly more true to real use case where you may not notice you've spilt something and sits till next scheduled run of the vac. Have been trying to decide between the 'Dreame L10s Ultra' (looking forward to your coming review), 'Ecovacs X1 Omni', or the 'Roborock S8 Pro Ultra'. After your Roborock S7 vs Ecovacs X1 video I'm defiantly leaning toward the Roborock, specifically the S8 Pro Ultra based on the improvements like dual roller and included mop drying function you've highlighted, but at looking at spending AU$2699 it's a scary choice to make. I'd be really interested in knowing if you have any test results from use on 'Loop Pile' style carpet, as your videos look like you've only tested on 'Cut Pile' style. Have you noticed any difference between use of synthetic vs wool carpet? Any static creation or damage to fibres? How do they perform when mopping on tiled floors with deeper grout grooves or bevelled edge tiles? Would the Ecovacs X1 spinning mop style work better for getting into the lower areas?
Oh hadn't thought about that, our tiles have big dips between them too. Do you think the roborock s8 can clean them?
@@arthurdent2150 Hopefully it can. Im really interested to see how it goes on Loop Pile carpet. Will have to wait and see if RobomateTV responds.
Thanks for producing such a great, informative and inspiring video. It’s fantastic that you were able to use the latest Roborock robot cleaner in a real world environment. It’s a positive improvement over the S7 and I think you did admirably highlighting those differences between the two. I’ve only used the Neato D7 and what I envy with is the fact these modern robots almost take care of themselves. I love the fact they empty dustbin and clean the mops. Thank you again for taking the time and trouble for producing such a great video.
Nice review guys :) I like that Roborock has stopped plastering their units with the bright orange accents, blends with the room a bit easier now. Super cool to see how far their products have come too! What an upgrade!

Thanks for this great review. I would love to upgrade to this machine. 😍
Mate, someone is trying to scam people out of money and pretending to be you in the comment section
@@bqss11 yeah, just a few minutes ago I got a reply to my comment stating "you are among our winners. Text this contact to claim your prize". Is this legitimate?
Even i got the msg asking for deatils
And after 5 min its gone
Hopefully i win the S8! 😅 sad part of the S8 is that, they have 2 separate robots for each dock. So if i were to buy just the robot by itself i will not have brush risers or vibrating plate 2.0! Idk why they had to do that!
Hmm, I have only tested the S8 Pro Ultra so far because I know most people are interested in this one. We will do an S8 one soon though I'm sure

Sadly, you've right. I've checked the specs on the global website and the fancy new vibra plate is only available on the S8 Pro Ultra 😔
I love the fact that it dries the mop so that it doesn't get mildewy. That and the better mopping "vibrations" makes it a pretty worthy upgrade in my book. Great video!
It must have been fun to make this review - and oddly relaxing to watch! Looks like a massive improvement both functionally and aesthetically on the S7.
Best review - comprehensive and objective- that I’ve ever seen. It definitely delivered North of Expectations. Thank you
Very useful review! I'm glad I found your channel! 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for the direct comparison with the S7. We are in the market and were looking at the S7 until this came out. Keep up the great work.
Having had friends over from the UK for a week has clearly shown us the weakness in our existing vacuum robot. Additional adults and kids leave additional stuff lying around, varying from shoes to clothes, chargers and a lot more spillage. I think this new robot answers every need we could possibly have in such a busy and dynamic environment. Can't wait to get our hands on such an upgrade!
Very informative non-biased reviews. Really thorough and super impressed by the little set-ups you have for the cleaners to run in!
Woot! Excited to see your revo review as well
Looks great, we've been eyeing up some of these models for a while now. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review 😊 Love the fact that it has a drying mechanism for the mop pad, that’s definitely something that I wish our S7 MaxV had. Also like the fact that it picks up more pet hair aswell 👍
I have the Roborock S7 and am looking to upgrade.... Love the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra... It's amazing to see how robot cleaners have advanced to a point where you don't need anything else around the house... Loved the part where it perfectly cleaned coffee stains
Id like to thank you for this amazing review so early!
I have an older ver5 Roborock and I'm extremely impressed by how far they have improved over the years. I'm extremely tempted to upgrade. I actually think this will be a great gift for my aging parents who struggle a bit keeping their floors in top shape.
What a time to be alive. Thanks for the video.
Love the dual roller brush and the volume of stuff it collects! So impressive!
Thank you for the thoughtful review and tests! Really appreciated 🎉
It is great to watch it. Learnt a lot. would like to see more from you.
Thanks! More to come.
This would be such a blessing, thanks for such a fabulous competition !
Thanks for the review! Was really impressed with the improved pet hair features as that’s a big factor for me at home to go to a robot vacuum. Plus the improved dual functionality in vacuum and mop.
Thank you, I always really appreciate all your content and particularly such a detailed, real life review. I’m pretty amazed with the S8, looks like a decent improvement.
Thanks so much for the great review!! Super informative and in depth, awesome job!!
Awesome video, thanks! Just ordered one! Thanks for the review!
I appreciate these specific reviews when researching for something that can be spendy. Thank you for your content. I was looking at the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, and saw the new model was being released - updates are awesome.
I am very impressed with how good this robot vacuum looks like , amazing tests and reviews on the products you do on your site
Great product! Thank you for the comparison with S7, that was a great help!
Great video, well done. I love how the mopping technology has improved.
Great review! I was planning on getting the Evocac, but this has helped convince me to go with the Roborock.
The T20? Let me know how you get on!
Love how you've tested this in various homes!
Really awesome videos. Thank you for being so specific in particular in your test in description
Really impressed with this…can’t wait to get one. Thanks for such an in-depth review.
I like how you guys have done a comparison, it sounds amazing. For someone with shoulder problems this sounds like my new best friend 👍🏽
Thank you for such an informative video! Doing research on a robot mop/vacuum for my boss and this video sold him!!
I really like how the new base looks. The Cover is so much better, than the visible containers. I also love how much more this can do, compared to my 6 year old robot vacuum. This one has more than the double power, the mopping really mops the floor and it cleans itself. So much better!
Thanks for the review! Very in-depth and also easy to understand the improvements compared to the S7 version. Looking forward for it to appear on the market.
This would be so amazing for my home with my messy puppy! The dual roller brushes look great for pet hair. And how great that it automatically switches between mop and vacuum! Great that it maps out the house. And it empties itself! Wow.
This is the one! I've waited long for Roborock to make some bigger changes, and the dual rollers is the one I've been waiting for! :D I also like that the bins are now hidden, which makes it blend in better in the house.
Thank you so much. This helped me make the decision to just wait for the S8
What a great review!!! Will definitely be saving up for this next purchase!!
Thank you for the review! Wonderful job!
Top notch review! Absolutely looking into buying one for my busy home! Thank you for your videos!
Great explainer video. I have the old S5 and was considering upgrading and after watching your comparison with the S7 ultra. Now I’ll definitely consider the new S8. Thanks for this and keep making great videos.
Thanks for the reviews, this was helpful.
What an amazing vacuum and an excellent review. Very thorough. I love it. The test you did were excellent and very informative.
Thanks for reviewing the S8. I’ve been looking into purchasing a robot vac and your review has been helpful. Thanks again from Aus.
Really excited about how far the mopping has come on this version, I was hesitant previously due to the mixed flooring at my place, it this looks like it will absolutely do the job. 🎉
A Great review video, awesome that you actually took it somewhere that has pets to test it out. It seems Roborock are leaps & Bounds ahead of the competition with this latest release.
This could be the one to finally get me to jump onboard the robotic vacuum train! Thanks for all the helpful info.
I love it. It would be a blessing to have one. The pet hair is killing me because of all of the vacuuming I have to do. As for your video, I love the professionalism, quality, and editing. You get right to the point. Good job
Thank you for such a in-depth review. this is the best robo vacuum/mop I've seen for the price..
ive had a few different models of the roborock now and they just keep getting better and better.
Such an informative video. Covered all my questions and other topics. I've never owned a robot vacuum before due to initial cost but now convinced this is the future. Keep up keeping us informed, well done. 👍
I have the S7 Ultra after owning the original Xiaomi Mi model and the S5 Max. The room mapping and cleaning algorithms have always impressed me as being superior to other brand vacuums. I am interested to see how they have improved the mopping side of things, as that is one area they could improve on.
I currently have S7+ and really love the mopping function, love to have the auto clean, and the mop goes to the next level!!
Man, it would be sick to get one of these. I love the design and I got tons of carpet around my house and I got a big floor plan. This would be great for it and I love Roborock in general. The cleaning performance looks great. Thank you for making the content in a clear manner and for showing us this product!
Thank you for this thorough review. This looks like an awesome machine. Thank you again.
Great video, thanks for all the details shown on performance and improvements! Seems like the robot cleaners are getting better and better at being independent :D
Very informative. Thank You!
Great video. My feelings wouldn’t be hurt to have a piece of tech that’s this accomplished, plying my floors with near cleaning perfection.
I currently have a Roomba without a mopping feature and I'm dying for a combo unit. Roborock seems to be leading the way in terms of innovation and it would be great to get a unit to compare. I'm new to your channel but I've gone down the rabbit hole and really enjoy your content. Keep it up!
I’ve been doing a lot of research on them and blown away with how they work. I’d love to get one myself
Like your review, i'm on the market for a 2 in 1 and was very impressed with the performance of the S8. Thanks for your reviews this helps me make better purchases.
Seems like this is by the best combo option out there by far now. Really looking forward to seeing what this can do.
I never had a cleaning robot but after watching your video I am amazed how well they preform. I will have to get one but will wait until S8 is released!
Great new iteration, most excited for the dual roller for the pet hair and integration of the mop pad drier integrated into the ultra dock itself!. Thanks for the detailed review!
Looks sleek and interested to try it out. Thanks for reviewing and sharing the details.
Your reviews on the Roborock Ultra 8 are very thorough and informative. This Roborock Ultra 8 I believe is the robot vacuum for me. Thank you EobomateTV!
Have been on the hunt for a mop and vacuum robot and loved the mop comparison part. Coffee and milk are consumed on a daily basis in my home and therefore spilled often. I was considering buying the S7 version but I think I will wait for the S8 release. It's supposed to be sometime this month anyway. Thanks for the video.
It would be the perfect helping hand around the house. Can’t wait to see more comparisons video. Your videos are clear and thorough, extremely helpful. Thank you
I found this after re-researching the S7 I had my heart set on! So glad I did- we are a busy working family who hates mopping so this giveaway would be a god send 🤞 thank you for putting together such a thorough review!
Awesome review, looks like we are finally at the stage of robot vacuums where going forward they will all do the basic job
Thanks for this in depth review.
Very informative and thorough video. Definitely helped us decide which model to get. Thanks!
I am impressed with this robot, and with your test. I was never interested in a robot because I thought I could vacuum and mop better myself. After your video, I see that a robot gets into the corners better and vacuums everything. Also the mopping seems to work perfectly, and doesn't seem to leave streaks, something that is the case with a mop. So I guess S8 gets a new customer, and your video channel a new subscriber.
