Equipped with features like a 360-degree laser, it navigates your home intelligently, avoiding obstacles and preventing falls. This model boasts a self-emptying dustbin, mop washing, and drying capabilities, all managed through its RockDock Ultra system. It offers versatile cleaning on various floor types, including hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpets. Control it remotely via smartphone or voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant. This bagless, round-shaped device enhances your cleaning experience.

Installation

Before using your Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, carefully read the user manual. To begin, find a suitable location for the dock, ensuring the power cable can exit from either side. Place the dock on a level surface against a wall, leaving ample space around it. Connect the power cable and ensure the charging dock power indicator turns on. Then, power on the robot by pressing and holding the button. Place the robot on the dock to charge; you should hear a charging voice alert. Follow the robot during its first cleaning route.

Connecting to the App

To unlock the full potential of your Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, connect it to the Roborock or Xiaomi Home app, available on both App Store and Google Play. Download and install your preferred app. Open the app and follow the instructions to add your robot. Ensure your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. If you encounter connection issues due to router configuration or a forgotten password, reset the WiFi on the robot and try adding it as a new device. This connection enables remote control and customization.

Cleaning Modes and Customization

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra offers various cleaning modes accessible via the app. Customize settings like suction power, water flow, and cleaning schedules to suit your specific cleaning needs and floor types efficiently.

Starting and Pausing Cleaning

To initiate a cleaning cycle, press the power button; the robot will intelligently map and clean your space. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra plans its route according to its scan of the room, efficiently cleaning the house. To pause cleaning mid-cycle, press any button on the robot. You can then resume cleaning by pressing the power button again or send it back to the dock. Manually placing a paused robot on the dock will end the current cleanup.

Spot Cleaning

For concentrated cleaning, utilize the spot cleaning function. Simultaneously press and hold both the dock and cleaning buttons to activate spot cleaning. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra will then clean a 1.5m x 1.5m square area centered around its current location. After completing the spot cleaning, the robot will automatically return to its starting point and enter standby mode, awaiting further instructions. This feature is ideal for quickly addressing spills or messes in specific areas.

Mopping Only Mode

Engage the Mopping Only mode for silent floor cleaning. Press the Mop Only button, and the main brushes will automatically rise, ceasing operation along with the fan. This mode significantly reduces noise compared to traditional cleaning. Note that, in this mode, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra prioritizes mopping without vacuuming. It is an excellent choice for maintaining clean floors with minimal disturbance, especially in noise-sensitive environments or during quiet hours in the household.

Routine Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. This section details essential tasks like cleaning brushes, filters, and the mop cloth, ensuring your Roborock S8 Pro Ultra remains in top condition for years.

Cleaning the Main Brushes

To maintain optimal cleaning performance, the main brushes should be cleaned every two weeks and replaced every 6-12 months. First, remove the brush cover and carefully extract the main brushes. Clear any hair, debris, or tangled objects wrapped around the brushes. Use the provided cleaning tool or scissors to cut away stubborn strands. Once cleaned, reinstall the brushes and secure the brush cover. Regular cleaning prevents decreased suction and ensures effective dirt pickup, extending your Roborock’s lifespan.

Cleaning the VibraRise Mop Cloth

The VibraRise mop cloth requires regular cleaning to maintain effective mopping performance. After each mopping session, remove the mop cloth from the VibraRise mop mount. Rinse the cloth thoroughly with clean water to remove any dirt, debris, or cleaning solution residue. For heavily soiled cloths, a mild detergent can be used. After rinsing, allow the mop cloth to air dry completely before reattaching it to the mount. A dirty mop cloth will significantly impact cleaning effectiveness, so frequent cleaning is essential;

Emptying the Dustbin and Cleaning the Filters

Regularly emptying the dustbin and cleaning the filters is crucial for maintaining the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra’s suction power and overall performance. The dustbin should be emptied after each cleaning session or when it becomes full. Remove the dustbin from the robot, open it, and dispose of the contents. Clean the inside of the dustbin with a dry cloth. Additionally, clean the filter monthly. Remove the filter, gently tap it to remove loose debris, and rinse it with water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reinstalling it.

Docking Station Features

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra’s docking station offers advanced features like auto-emptying, mop washing, and water tank refilling. It ensures your robot is always ready for the next cleaning session with minimal user intervention.

Auto-Emptying Function

The auto-emptying function of the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra’s dock automatically empties the robot’s dustbin after each cleaning cycle. This feature significantly reduces the frequency with which you need to manually empty the dustbin, offering a more convenient and hands-free cleaning experience. The dock utilizes a disposable dust bag to collect the debris, and a notification will appear when replacement is needed. This automatic process starts when the robot returns to the dock. You can manually start it by pressing the button on the robot or via the app. It can also be stopped manually.

Mop Washing and Drying

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra features an automatic mop washing and drying system. During cleaning, the robot determines when it needs to return to the dock for mop washing to maximize mopping performance. You can also manually initiate mop washing via the app or by pressing and holding the button on the robot. After washing, the mop is automatically dried to prevent mildew and odors. You can also manually start or stop drying in the app. The drying process starts automatically after mop washing or after cleaning is completed, ensuring a hygienic environment.

Water Tank Refilling

The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is designed to automatically refill its water tank during the cleaning process. When the robot detects that the water level is low, it will return to the docking station to refill. This ensures consistent mopping performance throughout the cleaning cycle. To manually refill the water tank, open the clean water tank, fill it with water, and close the lid. Ensure the latch is locked and the tank is fitted back in place correctly. This feature allows for extended cleaning sessions without manual intervention.
