For many people, the robot vacuum cleaner has become an indispensable element of the house. Being able to go to work in the morning and when you come back, have your house clean, without having to do anything at all.
Although robot vacuum cleaners have evolved a lot in recent years, every new model that comes out is better than the previous ones: with greater suction powers, new technologies and above all, more intelligent. This is the case of Roborock, it has just presented its new S8 family with three very interesting members, but with a specific model that is above all: the new Roborock S8 Pro Ultra.
By now, pretty much everyone knows the Roborock brand in the robot vacuum market. Although it can be recognized mainly for its attractive price, With each model, it shows that they also know how to make very complete devices capable of cleaning any surface. without any problem. The new Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is possibly the most complete robot vacuum on the market. We tell you all the details.
Improvements in vacuuming and mopping the floor
There is no doubt about what the main function of a robot vacuum cleaner is: cleaning. The new Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is capable of vacuuming dirt and scrubbing in the same pass, just vacuuming, just scrubbing or vacuuming first and scrubbing later. For this, it has two of the most advanced systems on the market, in the vacuum part, the DuoRoller Riser brush and, on the scrubbing part, VibraRise 2.0.
First of all, if we talk about suction power, the new Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is capable of reaching 6,000 Pa. To this we must add the improvement of its double Duo Roller brushes, retractable and capable of vacuuming more effectively and avoiding tangling with hair. In this way, we will have to intervene less times to clean the robot. As in previous models, it continues to vacuum all types of surfaces: wooden floors, tiles and of course carpets.
In the scrubbing part, the VibraRise 2.0 system also works more efficiently thanks, above all, to its ability to rub at high speed (up to 3,000 times per minute) and the pressure it exerts on the floor (6N) to remove all kinds of stains, liquids such as milk, more difficult ones such as ketchup and even pet footprints.
For surfaces where it is not necessary to clean with water, for example carpets, Roborock has included a system by which, when it detects it, it is capable of automatically raising the mop up to 5 millimeters. This, added to the Carpet Boost+ system, it is capable of removing 30% more hair than other models, guaranteeing always pristine rugs. If you have pets at home, it is the best ally to prevent everything from being full of hair.
When it has finished its work, or when it needs it, the robot itself returns to the charging base to empty the tank, wash and dry the mops with hot air, refill the cleaning liquid and stay in perfect condition for the next job.
In terms of energy efficiency, the new Roborock S8 Pro Ultra gives the option to configure and select the hours in which we want it to be recharged, for example during the night if our electricity rate is cheaper at that time.
The second key aspect of any robot vacuum cleaner is its navigation. Be able to walk a surface recognizing objects to be able to do a better cleaning. The new Roborock S8 Pro Ultra has the latest obstacle recognition and avoidance system, Roborock Reactive 3D, which allows you to capture images of the environment and avoid colliding with objects that is on the ground. For example, and the main enemy of robot vacuum cleaners, the charger cables that we usually leave connected to the wall. But also shoes, or children’s toys so we don’t need to clean up the whole house before the robot goes out to vacuum.
In addition, thanks to the light that it includes, it does not matter if it is, for example, a bathroom that does not have natural lighting. He is able to function without problem.
Another important section in terms of navigation is the Precisense LiDAR system. What could be considered as the brain of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra. What it does is scan the surface and create detailed maps on which to optimize cleaning, either with faster routes or influence the cleaning of a specific point, for example, small spaces where dust and hair usually accumulate.
To complete the navigation aspect, the mobile application also plays a very important role. In addition to being able to check the map of our house, the app itself makes suggestions about which areas are more conflictive and where the robot can get stuck more easily.
