Roborock Q8
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.
Pros
-
Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0Hair-tangle resistance is excellent: short and long hair tests leave almost no strands wrapped on the brush, and the Q8 ranks at the top for resisting hair build-up.
-
Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5Considering its low five-year cost and strong cleaning and hair performance, the Q8 offers good value for buyers who prioritize vacuuming over quietness, advanced avoidance, or high-end mopping.
Cons
-
Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.2On 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 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 3.2Noise levels are moderate, with average readings around 60 dB that place the Q8 in the middle of the pack—quieter than the loudest models but far from the quietest Q Revo designs.
-
Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 1.0Obstacle 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.
