If you’re tired of spending your weekends cleaning, you might want to check out today’s deal on Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra. It’ll take care of the vacuuming and mopping for you so you can reclaim your free time, and is currently available at an all-time low price of $999.99 ($800 off) from Amazon, Best Buy, and directly from Roborock.

Roborock’s S8 MaxV Ultra is our favorite robot vacuum overall. Its flexible mop arms make it stand out from the competition, as they’re capable of digging into corners and baseboard edges that can otherwise be hard to clean. The S8 MaxV Ultra additionally combines 10,000Pa of suction power with dual rubber roller brushes, allowing it to easily suck up any dirt and debris in its way. The robovac also boasts a sonic mop that can lift itself up to keep carpets dry and vibrates up to 4,000 times a minute for thoroughly scrubbing away spills.

The S8 MaxV Ultra also comes with camera-equipped AI obstacle avoidance, so you don’t need to follow it around for fear it’ll get tangled up in clutter. The robovac supports Matter too, allowing you to control it via all major smart home platforms for a nearly hands-free cleaning experience.
