Roborock Q8 Max+ Robot Vacuum and Mop
Verdict
Roborock Q8 stands out for outstanding hair-tangle resistance, strong coverage, and very low ownership costs, but it is dragged down by poor obstacle avoidance, only mid-pack hard-floor performance, and a very loud dock. It is a strong choice for pet hair and big areas if you can tolerate dock noise and pre-tidy your floors.
