The eufy X10 Pro Omni is the better value. The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra is the better robot. At \$449 vs \$899, the eufy costs half as much and scores higher in our BRV testing (9.2 vs 9.0). But the Roborock wins where it counts for complex homes — obstacle avoidance, carpet cleaning, app quality, and 3D mapping. The question is not which is better. It is whether the Roborock's advantages are worth \$450 more to you.
30-Second Summary
- Best value: eufy X10 Pro Omni — scores 9.2/10 at half the price
- Best premium pick: Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra — superior navigation, carpet cleaning, and app

Design and Build
Both robots are similar in size — the S8 MaxV Ultra at 14.1 inches diameter × 3.9 inches tall and the eufy at 13.8 inches × 3.8 inches. Both fit under standard furniture.
Both include full self-maintaining docks that empty dust, wash mops, and dry them automatically. The S8 MaxV Ultra's dock washes mops with warm water. The eufy's dock washes and dries mops with heated air. Both hold 2.5L dust bags and auto-refill water.
The Roborock's dock is slightly larger but has a more polished design. The eufy's dock is compact enough to tuck beside a cabinet. Neither dock is small — plan for about 15 × 18 inches of floor space.
Tie — both are well-built with full-featured docks.
Cleaning Performance
The eufy wins on hard floors. The Roborock wins on carpet. Overall, both are excellent.
On bare tile and hardwood — the everyday test of kitchen crumbs, dust, and pet food — the eufy posted a stunning 99.1% single-pass pickup rate. The Roborock scored 98.7%. Both are exceptional; the difference is invisible in daily use.
The gap opens on carpet. The S8 MaxV Ultra's dual rubber rollers pulled 96% of debris from medium-pile carpet and handled embedded pet hair with ease. The eufy managed 81% on deep-pile carpet — adequate, but you will notice leftover debris on thick rugs. For homes with mostly hard floors and a few area rugs, the eufy is fine. For wall-to-wall carpet, the Roborock is clearly better.
The suction numbers tell a surprising story: the eufy has 8,000Pa vs the Roborock's 6,000Pa. More suction does not always mean better cleaning. The Roborock's dual rubber roller design extracts debris more efficiently on carpet despite lower suction — brush design matters more than raw Pa numbers.
Winner: Split — eufy for hard floors, Roborock for carpet.
Mopping Performance
The eufy takes this round. BRV mopping score: 9.0 vs 8.5.
The eufy's dual rotating pads spin at 180 RPM and achieved 95% stain removal on dried coffee in our testing. Its 12mm mop lift clears medium-pile rugs without leaving wet streaks — a real advantage if you have area rugs.
The S8 MaxV Ultra mops competently but its 5mm mop lift is the lowest in its class. On rugs thicker than low-pile, the mop will drag across and leave damp marks. You can set no-mop zones in the app, but it is an extra step the eufy does not require.
Based on how we test, the eufy consistently delivered cleaner hard floors after mopping than the S8 MaxV Ultra.
Winner: eufy X10 Pro Omni — better mop lift and stain removal.
Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance
This is where the \$450 price difference shows.
The S8 MaxV Ultra's Reactive AI 2.0 with dual cameras achieves 97% obstacle avoidance — shoes, cables, pet toys, socks on the floor. It sends you a photo of what it found so you can verify. In a messy living room with kids' toys scattered around, the Roborock weaves through cleanly.
The eufy's AI-powered avoidance hits 94% — still good, but it will occasionally bump a shoe or push a lightweight object. No photo notifications. In a clean, tidy home this barely matters. In a lived-in home with daily clutter, the 3% gap adds up.
The Roborock app also offers 3D room mapping with furniture placement, making zone cleaning intuitive. The eufy's 2D map works but feels basic by comparison. If you want to say "clean under the dining table" or "skip around the dog bowl," the Roborock makes it easier.
Winner: Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra — noticeably smarter in cluttered homes.
Battery and Noise
Both last 180 minutes on a charge — enough for 2,500+ sq ft in a single run. Identical battery life is a tie.
Noise favors the eufy: 58dB standard vs 61dB. On max power, 72dB vs 74dB. The eufy is consistently quieter across all modes. During an evening cleaning cycle, the eufy blends into background noise while the Roborock is just noticeable.
Winner: eufy X10 Pro Omni — 3dB quieter across modes.
App and Smart Features
The Roborock app is in a different league.
3D mapping shows your furniture. Multi-floor maps save without re-scanning. Suction and mop intensity can be customized per room. Quick mapping takes one run. The app is fast, clean, and logical. It supports Alexa, Google Home, and Siri Shortcuts.
The eufy app handles basics — scheduling, suction levels, no-go zones — but lacks 3D visualization, per-room customization is limited, and the interface feels dated. It supports Alexa and Google Home but not Siri. One advantage: eufy processes data locally on-device, a real plus for privacy-conscious buyers.
If you interact with your robot daily through the app, the Roborock experience is worth paying for. If you set a schedule and forget it, the eufy app is adequate.
Winner: Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra — significantly better app and smart features.
Price and Value
The eufy X10 Pro Omni at \$449 (down from \$799 MSRP) delivers 9.2/10 performance for half the price of the S8 MaxV Ultra at \$899 (down from \$1,799 MSRP).
On pure performance-per-dollar, the eufy wins decisively. You get better hard floor cleaning, better mopping, quieter operation, and a higher BRV score — for \$450 less.
The Roborock justifies its premium only for specific needs: thick carpet, cluttered floors that demand superior obstacle avoidance, or users who want the best app experience. For everyone else, the \$450 savings buys a lot of robot vacuum bags.
Winner: eufy X10 Pro Omni — dramatically better value.

The Verdict
9.1/10For most homes, the eufy X10 Pro Omni is the smarter buy. It scores higher overall, costs half as much, mops better, and runs quieter. The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra earns its premium only if you have thick carpet or a messy floor that demands top-tier obstacle avoidance and app control. Both are excellent robots — the eufy just delivers more for less.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra worth double the price of the eufy X10 Pro?
For most buyers, no. The eufy scores higher overall (9.2 vs 9.0) at half the price. The Roborock only justifies its premium if you have thick wall-to-wall carpet or a cluttered home that demands 97% obstacle avoidance. On hard floors, the eufy actually outperforms the Roborock.
Which is better for pet hair?
The Roborock edges ahead on carpet pet hair with 96% pickup vs 81%. On hard floors, the eufy's 99.1% pickup is essentially perfect. If your pets spend most time on hard floors, the eufy wins. If they lounge on carpet, the Roborock is better.
Which has the better mopping?
The eufy X10 Pro Omni. It scored 9.0/10 vs 8.5/10 in our mopping tests, with 95% stain removal and a crucial 12mm mop lift that clears area rugs. The Roborock's 5mm mop lift is its biggest weakness — it will drag across anything thicker than low-pile.
Do both work with smart home systems?
Both support Alexa and Google Home. The Roborock adds Siri Shortcuts support. Neither supports Apple HomeKit natively — for that, you would need the newer Roborock Saros 20 with Matter support.
Which robot vacuum is quieter?
The eufy at 58dB in standard mode vs the Roborock at 61dB. On maximum power, the gap persists: 72dB vs 74dB. The eufy is consistently 2-3dB quieter across all modes — a noticeable difference during evening cleaning runs.
