Compare Roborock S8 and S7 MaxV
Roborock S8 and Roborock S7 MaxV robot vacuums offer similar features but have some key differences. The S8 has a higher suction power (6000 Pa compared to 5100 Pa of the S7 MaxV), which can provide more efficient cleaning. The water tank capacity of the S8 is also larger (0.3 L vs. 0.2 L), allowing for longer wet cleaning. Both devices support smartphone control and have power auto-adjustment features, yet the S7 MaxV is additionally equipped with a surveillance camera and supports voice assistants such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. Both vacuums have similar sizes and operating time (180 minutes), but the S7 MaxV requires slightly more time to charge (3 hours compared to 2 hours for the S8). Overall, the S8 may be a preferred choice for those seeking power, while the S7 MaxV offers additional smart home features.

Glossary
Suction power
Measured in Pa, this indicator describes the robot vacuum cleaner's suction pressure: the higher it is, the easier it is for the device to pick up heavy debris and clean carpet pile. Values around 2,000–4,000 Pa are usually sufficient for regular cleaning of smooth floors, while 6,000–10,000 Pa and above are better suited for collecting hair, sand, and dirt from carpets or floor joints.
Water tank capacity
The tank capacity determines the water supply for moistening the pad, rotating mops, or cleaning roller. Compact tanks of around 200 ml are suitable for regular wiping of small areas, while 300–500 ml tanks allow fewer interruptions for refilling during cleaning.
Voice assistant
Voice assistant lets you control the robot vacuum cleaner with short commands via a compatible smart speaker, smartphone, or smart home system. You can use your voice to start and stop cleaning, return the device to the docking station, and on some models, select a room or operating mode. This feature is especially convenient when your phone is not nearby, but the set of available commands depends on the robot model and the supported platform.
Memory of several maps (floors)
Multiple map memory allows the robot vacuum to save separate layouts for different floors or rooms. When the device is moved, it recognizes the required map and uses the already defined rooms, no-go zones, and cleaning settings. This feature is especially useful for multi-story homes, as it eliminates the need to rescan the space every time the robot is moved.
Surveillance camera
Built-in camera with remote access turns a robot vacuum cleaner into a mobile video surveillance device that can be controlled from a smartphone. It is convenient for checking your apartment while away, monitoring pets, or inspecting a hard-to-reach area, while some models allow voice transmission through the built-in speaker. Unlike an obstacle detection camera, this camera displays images to the user in real time or saves them in the app. Recording, night mode, and privacy features depend on the specific model.
Charging time
Full charging cycle of the robot vacuum to restore the battery from the minimum level to 100%. The process usually takes several hours and depends on the battery capacity and charging system power. However, with regular returns to the base, this parameter rarely affects cleaning convenience.
Threshold clearance
Threshold climbing indicates the maximum height of an obstacle that the robot vacuum can climb over on its own. A 15 mm level is usually sufficient for small floor covering joints, while 20 mm is better suited for standard interior door thresholds and carpets with a noticeable edge.
