Very underrated channel and truly in-depth testing. One thing though, when measuring the suction. It has a failsafe that doesn't allow you to test it as it slows down suction when it detects any unusual pressure on the system. That's why it looks like it has low power in numbers tested but it is actually waaayyyy above average...
Do you have any more information on this fail-safe functionality? Is it discussed anywhere else online that you can link to? I'm genuinely curious because I'd love to know exactly why the latest Roborock models didn't perform well in my airflow and suction testing.
@@consumer-analysis yeah, check out the vacuum wars test and he says stuff about it. I'm pretty sure you can find some articles about it as well because why would they have such bad suction but still perform well?
Love your videos! My main hang-up on buying any of these is hand-knotted oriental rugs. Their longevity is comprimised with beater bars, even the rubber ones. I have a vacuum where I can turn the beater bar on and off as needed. Unless any of these robot vacuums allow me to turn the beater bar on/off based on the map or some way to get around that, besides skipping the rugs, I'm hesitant to buy one. I know I can take the rollers out, but then it seems like in some designs that may totally comprimise the pick-up power, and I only want it off for the area rugs not the entire house.
Thank you for the insightful review! I'm curious about the offline performance of this vacuum cleaner. If I opt out of using the Wi-Fi feature and a smartphone, would it still operate efficiently for basic cleaning and mopping across my entire three-room floor? If not what brand and model would you recommend? something that does better than random walk. Thank you for your help.
Hello Costumer Analysis. Awesome reviews. Clear and highly technical. I struggle a lot with long hair but I'd like to have a mop too so this one is not good for long hair and the "ILIFE V3s Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner" is not good with cleaning and doesn't have mop. Do you have a better suggestion? Thank you very much in advance! And keep up the great job.
I've recently grown my hair long enough for a pony tail. Wow, the struggle is real - even with a big vacuum cleaner. I've actually started sweeping the area around my vanity (carpeted - not part of the bathroom) using my foot to ball up the hair and pick it up first. Its also a new problem for the drain. 😮. These little vacs would do better if they had a hidden blade to cut the hair from the roller 😂
The obstacle avoidance sucks when it comes to avoiding cords. I’m surprised that it was able to do it on your test. Mine runs over every single one that it comes across
i noticed that too. it has to be obvious to it to avoid it. but a power cord going across the floor it just runs over it. but i did test it out by putting a usb cable in the middle of the floor and it avoided it with out issues. so i dont know. a bug report could be sumitted on the roborock site they can probably tweak it.
I don’t understand the suction stats. They claim 5.1kPA and looks a lot better than all other robots. So (1) are you showing 0.1kPA only, (2) the average of all other robots is 5x?
Uhhhh how do you fund this channel? Are you sponsored by a company or is consumer analysis government funded or something? This channel is criminally underviewed for how good its reviews are- but I guess theres just not a lot of people watching reviews for this kind of thing.
The level of detail in your testing is awesome. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!

Looks like a winner! I'm waiting for a big sale once the S8 is released hopefully.
Amazon prime members can get it for $1,000 USD for prime day. Still expensive though. Not sure if they usually do bigger sales around the holidays
I have been waiting gor your review regarding thr Roborock S8, S8 Pro and Ultra. Finger crossed..

Super thorough and helpful, thank you!

Hair tangling may not seem a big negative. But, for families it may be a deal breaker, as there is more hair in the floor than we think
I would've listed the crevice pick up test (non-existent basically) over the hair tangling. Still great review tho
Any idea which one is good for long human hair?
@@ameynaik2743I have the same question

What about replacement frequency of dust bag in the max V ultra bin?

So it didn’t perform well on the airflow test? I thought it was supposed to have industry leading suction?
What robovac does handle long hair well, if any?
Wow I might get one! Unless I win one 😁
Hi
Would like to purchase a used ultra any help would be nice
