Debuting with accolades earlier this year at CES 2024, the S8 MaxV Ultra has garnered attention for its remarkable cleaning and intelligent capabilities.

The S8 MaxV Ultra is the company's most powerful one-stop cleaning solution, combining sophisticated technology with user-friendly features. The model introduces a unique robotic arm and an extra mop that efficiently cleans challenging areas with complete corner cleaning capabilities. It delivers next-level user convenience with the enhanced RockDock^® Ultra, Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition, and built-in voice assistant. The S8 MaxV Ultra is engineered to provide a thorough and hassle-free cleaning experience for all types of homes.

"Customer preferences are shifting towards products that are capable, intelligent, and can easily integrate with their smart home," says Richard Chang, Founder & CEO of Roborock. "Our mission at Roborock is to create companions that will make everyday tasks simpler and more enjoyable through technology. The S8 MaxV Ultra is the embodiment of that mission, combining smart technology with powerful cleaning to create a device that's more than a vacuum—it's a smart home companion that's adaptable, efficient, and remarkably intuitive to use."

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra distinguishes itself with:

• Revolutionary Corner-to-Edge Cleaning: Unique to Roborock, the FlexiArm Design™ automatically extends the side brush when corners and low areas under furniture are detected, allowing S8 MaxV Ultra to sweep up dirt from hard-to-reach spaces with a 100% corner coverage^[i]. The added spinning edge mopping system ensures precise cleanliness up to 1.68mm along edges.^[ii]
• "Hello Rocky" Built-in Voice Assistant: Jumpstart your cleaning tasks and explore more capabilities with a simple "Hello Rocky", even without a Wi-Fi connection. Control your S8 MaxV Ultra with voice commands ranging from start or stop a clean, clean a specific room, or clean around you for accidental spills, and many more.
• Automatic Pet and Pet Supply Recognition: Worried about your pet being home alone? With a simple button on the App, S8 MaxV Ultra will roam around your home and help you find your pet. When approaching pets, the robot vacuum will immediately stop its main brush, and move aside in advance to prevent frightening your beloved pets. Additionally, it also allows for deep cleaning around pet supplies.
