When one mentions the word “robot”, some of us would picture the toughness of a Robocop while another half sees the gentle and loving robot in the film Bicentennial Man. One thing is definite however, robots will eventually become a part of our way of life just as we have envisioned the future as kids.
The idea of riding flying cars and summoning androids to perform tasks for us is becoming more of a possibility with each passing day. But while the hovering automobiles from the movie Fifth Element have yet to arrive, automated household items such as robot vacuums on the other hand have already hit the market.
One such item is the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. A robot vacuum seen as a game changer in housekeeping. This breakthrough cleaning machine is the “Terminator” of all robot vacuums as it not only gets rid of dirt in every corner of our homes, it also eliminates all human supervision as we can simply leave it to do the job for us.
This new model from Roborock not only frees you from actually doing the cleaning as the robot vacuum takes care of that, but also of maintenance responsibilities thanks to the streamlined RockDock ™ Ultra docking mechanism. This revolutionary new feature is widely regarded as the most cutting-edge cleaning technology to date, thanks to its DuoRoller Riser ™ Brush and VibraRise 2.0 Mopping System, that literally removes the human element from the cleaning process.
Equipped with Game-Changing Features
Before the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, a long line of robot vacuums did a good job of sucking dust and other dirt particles off our floors. Their capabilities, however, were kept to a bare minimum as early versions performed their duties with the clumsiness of a headless chicken, knocking into every walls and corners.
Not the case with the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. Featuring a dandy list of winning features that makes it operate seamlessly without needing human touch other than turning it on, it is what the word “robot” truly denote: a machine that does it job.
Of course, as much as we want our robot vacuum to suck and clean every piece of dirt on its way, we don’t want it to make a mess when it comes to dealing with our furry friend’s poop.
When it comes to cleaning robots, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is the golden standard. There’s one additional major benefit: it avoids running into dog or cat crap.
Reactive 3D Navigation System
To navigate its way around your house, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra has a feature called Reactive 3D Obstacle Avoidance and PreciSense Light Detection and Ranging Navigation. By using 3D structured light and infrared imaging technology, it helps the robot vacuum identify and avoid potential hazards on the floors, allowing for a stress-free cleaning experience in any lighting condition. When the PreciSense LiDAR Navigation system maps the house with pinpoint accuracy, it will determine the best path for cleaning, ensuring that no filth is left behind — except the pet’s mess.
Autonomous Operation with the Ultra Dock
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra’s capacity to function independently of its human owners is another key selling factor. The Rockdock Ultra Dock System eliminates the need for any upkeep.
It comes programmed with a powerful set of features that can automatically wash the mop, empty the dust, refill the water, clean itself, charge quickly, and dry the mop pad and dock to prevent mildew and unpleasant odours. It amazingly does all the work by itself from self-washing, self-refilling, self-drying, self-emptying and self-cleaning.
Self-washing means the robot will clean its own mop after each use. To prevent mould formation and bad odours, the dock’s bottom and the mop are dried in an enclosed space using warm air during the self-drying process. Because it performs self-emptying on its own dust and debris after each cleaning, the robot can go as long as seven weeks before needing a new dust bag. The robot vacuum can mop an area larger than 300 square meters when it self-refills its water tank automatically.
Simply put, it fights dirt around the house while still looking almost as pristine as the day you took it out of the box.
Off-peak Charging Scheduling is another autonomous feature that helps cut down on electricity costs. If you select this option, the robot will be able to determine when it is most cost-effective to recharge its battery, avoiding the higher rates that apply during peak usage.
No Hands Needed
Rounding off the standard-setting highlight features of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra definitely takes hands-free cleaning to the next level.
Deeper cleaning, an improved vacuuming action and an avoidance mechanism for hair knots are all made possible with the DuoRoller Multi-Directional Floating Brush.
Powered up to a whopping 6,000Pa from the previous 5,1ooPa of the S7 Ultra Max, the S8 Pro Ultra’s HyperForce Extreme Suction makes short work of dirt and dust buried deep on both hard floors and carpets.
Applying 6N pressure, the Roborock’s VibraRise 2.0 Mopping System, which is capable of vibrating at a frequency of 3000 times per minute, provides superior scrubbing. It also has two vibration modules that doubles the cleaning power of conventional mopping.
This feature also allows the robot vacuum to retract the mop to a height of 5 mm when not in use, keeping it safely off your carpet.
An Envelope Pushing Successor to the S7 Max Ultra
As intelligent as its S7 Max Ultra forerunner already was, Roborock still manages to push the envelope by expanding the capabilities of the S8 Pro Ultra into making it the most complete robot vacuum in the market today.
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra stands head and shoulders above the competition, thanks to its cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) navigation system and other features that allow it to automatically empty its dust bin, wash and dry its mop, refill with clean water, and collect its used water in a separate tank. When we said “best”, we meant it like miles and miles ahead of the pack.
That sums up the incredible capabilities of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra in a nutshell.
