Roborock has been working hard to integrate smart technology into our vacuums. Using the Roborock App, you can control many different aspects of your robotic vacuum cleaning experience, including setting cleaning cycles, choosing between different cleaning modes, setting cleaning and ‘No-Go Zones’. Buying the best robot vacuum in Australia is all about convenience and the Roborock App only adds to the convenience factor of owning a Roborock.
Below is a breakdown of the Roborock App, it’s important features and how to optimise it to deliver the best cleaning experience.
Connecting Your Roborock: Setting Up For Success
Before you explore the Roborock App, ensure you’ve downloaded it from either the Google Play Store or the App Store for iPhone users.
Next, follow the in-app instructions to connect it to your WiFi and you’re good to go! Your Roborock vacuum and mop will map out your home using sensors designed to detect furniture, edges, and cliffs (i.e.: a vertical drop such as a staircase). It will also detect pets and automatically avoid ‘No-Go Zones’ that you can set in the app.
The Dashboard: Your Cleaning Command Centre
-
Real-time mapping: Your in-app dashboard is your cleaning command centre! From here, you can see a real-time map of your home as it cleans. It will highlight its path around the home (you can make changes if necessary in real time).
-
Cleaning Status: You can monitor your robotic vacuum’s cleaning progress, including the area that has been cleaned, and its battery status and change the cleaning mode on the fly.
- Quick Access Buttons: You can quickly start, stop or send your robot vacuum back to it’s charging station with a single tap.
Delving Deeper: Exploring Key App Features
-
Cleaning Modes: You can choose from four cleaning modes: Quiet, Balanced, Turbo and Mop, depending on your needs. You can engage the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra’s mopping mode or tell your robot vacuum and mop to switch back and forth between mopping and vacuum, depending on your flooring type.
-
Scheduling: You can use the Roborock app to schedule your cleanings, even when you’re not at home!
-
No-Go Zones and Virtual Walls: Use the app to define rooms you don’t want your Roborock robotic vacuum to clean. If your newborn is sleeping in a particular room, or you’re trying to save battery life by not cleaning a disused room in the house. You can create virtual walls in the app to tell your robot vacuum to avoid pet bowls or water vases.
-
Multi-Floor Mapping: If you live in a multi-storey house, you can save each floor as a different section of the home and choose how each floor is cleaned.
- Cleaning History: You can track your robot vacuum’s cleaning history, including which areas it has cleaned, how long it took and any error messages.
Advanced Features for Tech-Savvy Australians
-
Suction Power Adjustment: You can automatically adjust your robot vacuum’s suction power depending on which type of flooring you’re cleaning. This allows you to go from high-pile carpets to low-pile carpets seamlessly.
-
Water Flow Control (For Mop Models): When using the mop function of the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, S8 Pro Ultra and QRevo MaxV, you can adjust the water flow rate for different floors that you’re cleaning.

Spot Cleaning: You can direct your Roborock to clean a specific area of your home. If you’re having company but have forgotten to clean the dining room, you can direct your Roborock to give it a quick once-round!
