Roborock Q8 Max+ Robot Vacuum and Mop

3.4

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.

Cons

Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup 3.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.2

On hard floors, the Q8 provides decent but not standout performance, usually picking up most flour and cereal but leaving a bit more debris than the top-ranked models in mixed-mess tests.
Noise level 3.2 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.2
Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 1.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 1.0

Obstacle avoidance is weak, as the Q8 repeatedly runs into remotes, boxes, and taller items during tests, earning one of the lowest scores for avoiding everyday floor clutter.
