Honestly, I think the best value from the high tier roborocks is when they’re used in conjunction with their ultra docks (auto emptying and mop cleaning). This Costco deal is a ripper - $2,079.99 for the S8 Pro Ultra (vacuum + ultra dock).
But $999 for a stand-alone is also a fantastic price. It appears that the S8 is incompatible with the S7 dock, and it will not be possible to buy standalone docks in future (Source: apparently confirmed with roborock customer support.)
Key differences between the S7 MaxV and S8 is that the S8 has improved suction power (6,000 pA), a new dual-roller head for improved dirt/pet pickup, is quieter, and is camera free. Note that you’re best off looking at reviews for these as apparently not everything is an improvement.
This or Q7 Max for $599?
