Roborock will take the wraps off six new cleaning solutions at CES: the S8 MaxV Ultra, S8 Max Ultra, Q Revo MaxV, Q Revo Pro, Flexi Pro, and Flexi Lite.
The new products include four robot vacuum-and-mop hybrids and two wet-dry vacuums with an emphasis on intelligent cleaning features and self-maintenance.
Here’s a closer look at each.
Roborock S8 Max Series
The Roborock S8 Max series includes the S8 MaxV Ultra ($1,799.99) and S8 Max Ultra ($1,599.99) robot vacuum and mop combos. The series builds on previous Roborock innovations and introduces a robotic arm that enables deeper corner and edge cleaning capabilities. Other features include:
- Roborock’s FlexiArm Design Side Brush and Extra Edge Spinning Mop System, which enables more thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach spaces.
- A new VibraRise 3.0 mopping system that scrubs the floor 4,000 times per minute and lifts the mopping module 20mm off the floor when the robot encounters carpet.
- The RockDock Ultra, Roborock’s all-in-one charging dock, which automatically empties, refills, and dispenses detergent. The dock also washes and dries the robot’s mop pads with heated air to prevent odor and mildew build-up.
- An industry-leading 10,000 Pa suction power on the S8 MaxV Ultra and 8,000 Pa on the S8 Max Ultra.
- The S8 MaxV Ultra is equipped with Roborock’s “Hello Rocky” on-device voice assistant to enable voice commands, real-time video calling via the robot’s onboard camera, Matter protocol support, Reactive AI 2.0 obstacle avoidance, and DirTect Smart Sensor technology that adjusts cleaning settings according to the dirt levels detected.
- Both S8 Max Series models offer a refill and drainage dock variant that connects to home drainage systems to automatically refill and empty the robot cleaner, eliminating the need to manually empty or refill the RockDock Ultra’s water tanks.

The Roborock Q Revo Series includes the Q Revo MaxV ($1,199.99) and Q Revo Pro ($999.99). The company says the series aims to make the features of its flagship all-in-one cleaning solutions available at a more affordable price. Key features include:
- FlexiArm Design Edge Mopping System, which uses a robotic arm mop that extends to clean hard-to-reach areas.
- 7,000 Pa of suction power
- A mopping system that rotates 200 times per minute and lifts the mopping module 10mm off the floor when carpet is detected.
- Roborock’s Multifunctional Dock 2.0, which automatically empties the robots’ dustbins, refills their water tanks, and cleans and dries their mops after cleaning jobs.
- The Q Revo MaxV comes with Roborock’s “Hello Rocky” voice assistant, video calling, Reactive AI obstacle avoidance, and auto brush lifting, which enables the robot to automatically adjust the height of its brushes based on the floor surface for more effective cleaning.

- Roborock RevoBrush 2.0 system for wet-dry vacuums, which automatically washes and dries the vacuum’s brushes with warm water and air to prevent odors.
- The Flexi Pro is also equipped with SlideTech automated adaptive wheels for lighter push-pull motion with a headlight, dual edges cleaning, app compatibility, voice alerts, and more.
The Flexi Pro can flatten to get under low furniture and clean edges and corners with margins of less than 1mm.
