Our Verdict

Roborock S7 MaxV

Roborock S8+

The Roborock S8+ is a slight upgrade over the Roborock S7 MaxV, though the vacuums are still pretty similar overall. The S8+ has a slightly more potent suction motor and a new dual-roller floorhead, resulting in slightly better debris pickup on most floor types and improving its ability to clear away pet hair. The S8+ is also noticeably quieter. The S7 MaxV has a color-capable camera and a built-in microphone, so you can use it as a roving security camera. Unlike the standard S8+, it's also available with a docking station that empties its dustbin, washes its mop pad, and refills its water tank.
