What owners actually say
"The roborock q8 max offers a great option when you really don't need to mop."
What the specs mean in practice
Suction is rated at 5,500 Pa, higher than 42% of tracked models. Pa is a manufacturer figure, not measured airflow — owners judge cleaning by pet hair and carpet results, so treat it as a floor rather than a verdict.
A 240-minute runtime is at or above the roughly 180-minute norm, enough for most single-floor homes in one pass.
Mopping uses a pad system — rotating and roller mops draw more owner praise on hard floors than drag pads.
