Why I’m finally upgrading to the Roborock S8 from my trusty old S7
Being a product reviewer and product tester for BGR has plenty of perks. One is that I get to test all the hottest new robot vacuum models before they come out. Despite how many different robots I test, however, I'm often still a creature of habit. That's why I've had a Roborock S7 in my basement ever since it first came out. It still does a pretty good job after all this time, and it's my basement, so I've never bothered to upgrade.
Now, however, I've decided that it's finally time to put the old model to rest and upgrade to a new Roborock S8. It's more powerful, it has better battery life, and it's on sale right now at the lowest price ever. The regular Roborock S8 has a $200 discount that cuts it to $549.99, and the Roborock S8+ with an auto-empty base station is $300 off at $699.99. Those are both the lowest prices ever for these models.

There's a world of difference between cheap vacuums and high-end models like the Roborock S8. You can enjoy so many cutting-edge features that enhance premium robot vacuums these days. One is built-in mopping, which is a must-have for many shoppers out there.
When it comes to vacuuming and mopping, the flagship Roborock S8 is among the best in the business. Check out our Roborock S8 review, and you'll see just how impressed we were with this model.
Right now, the S8 is on sale at the lowest price I've seen this year. That means it's the perfect time to upgrade whichever old robot vacuum you've been suffering with lately.

The S8 packs all the key features you would expect from a high-end model. Examples include LIDAR navigation, powerful 6,000Pa suction, long battery life, multi-level mapping, and plenty more.
And let's not forget about this model's terrific mopping features.
Plenty of robot vacuum models have built-in mopping, but the Roborock S8 has sonic mopping that takes things to a whole new level. This autonomous robot scrubs at a mind-boggling 3,000 cycles per minute to clean your hard flooring like nothing else on the market.
It also has a smart feature called "VibraRise" that automatically switches back and forth between vacuuming and mopping, depending on what type of surface it's on. For example, the S8 will mop your hardwood floors and then instantly raise the mop and start vacuuming as soon as it detects carpeting or a rug.
Right now, Roborock S8 deals on Amazon will save you a bundle on this combo robot vacuum and mop. Instead of paying $750, you can pick one up for just $549.99.
Or, if you don't mind spending a bit more money, you can get the upgraded Roborock S8+ model instead.
What does the plus mean, you ask? It's pretty simple. Like other robot vacuum makers, Roborock adds a plus to the name of a robot that comes with an auto-empty base station. The robot vacuum itself is the same, but the base station is a huge upgrade. Each time the robot is done cleaning, the base station sucks out all the dirt and dust into its own large debris bag. This way, you can enjoy completely hands-free cleaning for months at a time without having to change bags.
The only downside is the added expense, of course. While the S8 retails for $750 on its own, the Roborock S8+ costs $1,000. Right now, however, there's a big $300 discount that cuts it to $699.99. That's an incredible value, and it's definitely the version that I'm going to get for myself.

Those are big discounts on phenomenal robot vacuum and mop combo models. But these deals are only around until the end of the week, most likely.
