Roborock S9 MaxV Ultra Review

We ran the S9 MaxV Ultra daily for six months in a 140 m² home with mixed flooring and two shedding dogs.

Cleaning

Hard-floor pickup was effectively complete in a single pass. On medium-pile carpet it left roughly 6% of embedded debris — good for a robot, short of a cordless.

Navigation and obstacles

It avoided every cable and shoe in our obstacle course, and crucially recognised a pet accident and routed around it.

The dock

Washing and drying the mop pads removes the job that kills most robot mops. You still empty the dust bag every six to eight weeks and descale monthly in hard-water areas.

Verdict

Expensive, and the only robot in our test group that ran for six months without requiring a rescue more than twice.
