There’s a boom in popularity of robot vacuums on store shelves, and choosing the right one can be quite a challenge. Among experts, there’s near-unanimous welcome that Roborock is one of the best contenders out there. Roborock’s “Q” series has particularly been well-praised for its value for money, and the latest Roborock Q8 Max carries on this tradition. Amazon is now offering this great version at its all-time lowest price of just $259, which is a massive 57% discount from its initial price tag of $599. It’s a great opportunity, and this is one of our favorite models. Now, almost all new Roborock vacuums are sold above $1,000 which makes this Q8 Max an even better deal. See at Amazon Vacuum and Mop Roborock Q8 Max has a great 5,500 Pa HyperForce suction system, which is triple that of a typical robot vacuum. It is capable of effortlessly scooping up dust, crumbs and even tough pet hair on carpets and hardwood floors with equal ease. The Q8 Max also has Roborock’s groundbreaking DuoRoller brush mechanism-two rubber rollers that rotate in opposite directions to pick up more dirt and prevent hair from becoming tangled as often by 20%. But the Roborock Q8 Max is not just a vacuum: It mops and vacuums in one, complete with a 350ml water tank and 30 adjustable water flow levels to tackle everything from loose dust to embedded dirt. The mop part is merely removable so that you can switch between modes or use them sequentially on each other for a deeper clean. It has a large 770ml dustbin so you won’t be having to empty it nearly as often and the battery life is just as good: up to 240 minutes of usage on a single charge which is long enough to clean up to 300 square meters. Roborock is also very popular for its PreciSense LiDAR technology: it maps your home accurately and quickly getting familiarized with the layout and adapting cleaning routes for optimal efficiency. The robot can hold up to four independent floor plans so it’s perfect for multi-level homes-just place it on a new floor, and it’ll know where it is right away. The Q8 Max also uses advanced obstacle avoidance, sensing and avoiding chairs, cables, and even toys that would send less advanced robots stumbling. You can set no-go zones and virtual walls through the Roborock app so you have complete control over where and how it cleans. The Roborock app itself is simple to use and feature-packed: You can schedule cleanings, customize settings, monitor the robot’s progress in real time, and even view a 3D map of your home. Voice control is also supported through Alexa, Google Home, and Siri. The Q8 Max is as hands-free as possible and automatically goes back to its base to charge and, in the case of the Q8 Max+ model, even emptying its own dustbin for complete autonomous use. If you’re looking for a reliable and ultra performing robovac, this is the one you should go for. See at Amazon
