The Roborock S8 is a decent choice for a multi-surface household. Its performance on hard floors is good, although it's a little worse on carpet—it's still satisfactory but leaves more fine material along edges and in corners. Its twin brushrolls do a great job with pet hair on carpet. Its obstacle handling is okay, though its obstacle avoidance system works better on bare floor than on carpet. The S8's basic dock only provides charging capability. However, the self-emptying station with the S8+ is passable; it empties the dustbin but isn't equipped to help with the mopping function. The robot vacuum's mopping ability is alright; it works reasonably well on stains.
