Good product. I had an issue with it, and the customer service was excellent, very quick resolution and follow-up.Cleans very well, long life battery, app setup is easy, great suctioning power.

The Honiture V8-Pro is very well designed. Comparing it with am iRobot-J7 that I have been using for two years, a brand and a model that seems to have set the standard in the US market, this device has many advantages for a comparably very reasonable price point. At the time of this review, 12th of Jan 2025, the V8-Pro device could be obtained for $ 150 on Amazon, while the iRobot J7, an inferior alternative as I will describe from firsthand experience below, is selling for $ 500 or over 3 times more than the V8-Pro. The V8-Pro benefits from a number of seemingly small design elements that come together to make a big difference in the value you get from your investment.Cleaning - General: The device nicely cleans the area. The mop is particularly useful and allows you control over the volume of water you would like the device to put on your floors. In my application, the tank seems sufficient for about 1500 Sqft on the medium setting. I use a cleaning solution diluted in water in the tank. The V8-Pro cleans and mops about 9 Sqft per minutes in my application; likely to do more with more open spaces with less corners and obstacles.Cleaning - Side Brush: V8-Pro seems to feature a slightly wider wide side brush; one that rotates at a slower pace. The rotation speed is particularly important. The V8-Pro grabs dirt from the edge and brings it under the device to be vacuumed whereas the J7’s fast rotating brush tosses them from one side to the other, fails to pick them up.Cleaning - Suction: V8-Pro’s powerful suction means you don't have to clean up the internals of the device as much as you have to with an iRobot. The iRobot required me to vacuum clean its passage ways with a hand held vacuum every time otherwise it would effectively cease to function.Cleaning - Quiet operation: V8-Pro is overall far quieter while operating. It rarely bangs against obstacles and even then a lot more gently than any iRobot I have owned. The navigation allows it to avoid head on collisions for the most part whereas the J7 puts the SLAM into the VSlam technology.Navigation - Mapping: The initial mapping process was particularly impressive and precise with the V8-Pro. The device spent less than 5 minutes going around a 500 Sqft area with multiple rooms and obstacles to generate a map, only coming close to sense (through physical contact) some of the edges and furniture legs.Navigation - Positioning: The V8-Pro seems to easily find its location. To test its positioning accuracy, I once started and paused the vacuum routine half way. I then physically relocated the V8-Pro to a different room and asked it to go back to its base. The device rotated in place a couple of times, moved about 4 feet to the and repeated the rotations, came back to where I had first placed it and went directly back to the charging station without hitting anything along the way. The J7 can’t be repositioned even for an inch (let’s say to clear a fault or an obstacle it couldn’t overcome) without getting totally confused.Navigation – Obstacle avoidance: The V8-Pro is actively aware of its surroundings. My young son plays a little game every so often throwing random objects or jumping in front of the device. The V8-Pro detects the obstacle a couple of feet away, stops and finds its way around the temporary to continue its operation. This is particularly useful in real life situations. In comparison unexpected obstacles can confuse the iRobot J-7’s navigation. Imagine you a plush toy or winter coat on the floor. A J7 need a hard surface to detect and obstacle whereas the V8-Pro recognizes the obstacle and avoid approaching it too closely.Additional - Management app: The app provides similar functionalities as the iRobot’s less the constant advertising function to compel you to buy various accessories. I personally appreciate the absence of ads. Splitting the area into smaller rooms, scheduling or starting an impromptu customized cleaning (e.g. clean the foyer twice a day) is far easier on this app than it is on the iRobot’s.Few shortcomings of the app:- The app is metric only and lacks a scale in the background. This could make it a little more challenging to position restricted zones.- The app insists on precise location for the initial pairing which is totally unnecessary when you only need the vacuum to have your router’s password. This to me was a huge privacy concern. It made me wonder what information the app collected and sent to the manufacturer.- I have two of these devices. The first one keeps loosing connections with the app needing to reconnect with Bluetooth all the time. The second one works just fine.Additional – Design features: V8-Pro’s dust bin is very easy to remove and the filter is well placed. V8-Pro’s dust bin is also larger and features a small spring backed lid that prevents the dust from flying all over until you are ready to empty it up. The charging adapter works on 100-240 volts (I can’t tell the voltage range of an iRobot) making it possible to send it as a gift to your overseas friends.In summary:If you are looking for a dependable device (note I only had the V8-Pro for a month – might update this review later) to run around, be dependable and clean up (vacuum and mop) while you do other things, be relatively quiet, do a far better job than its leading competitor on just about every aspect, the V8-Pro is a great vacuum cleaner for your purpose and especially the price point.

Does a wonderful job in my apartment. All the floors except my bedroom are vinyl. It does an excellent job on the bare floors while at the same time it reliably picks up the crystal dust from the litter box my cats track through the house. The mapping feature is phenomenal and the pattern it follows would make an anal retentive person proud. An OCD person would be thrilled at its adherence to following the schedule I set. I’m very happy and satisfied with my purchase and wish I had done it sooner. I have major back issues and this vacuum keeps my floors cleaner than my human helper and does it on a much more consistent basis.

The vacuum works great. It is amazing what it will do, once you get it to interact with the app. The instructions could use some improvement, but it is worth the effort! It maps your house, will clean it all or you can send to any room or any area that you choose. You can put up virtual walls and adjust the vac strength and the mop water output based on the need. Very satisfied. Update- after about 6 months I had a problem that I could not resolve. I contacted customer support, explained the problem. Within a day, they responded that they would send a replacement, Which they did, at no cost, no hassels, no shipping fees., no questions asked! They even extended my warranty for a year. Hard to beat that kind of service. The vacuum works great, the company is great, what more could you ask for?

I was excited to get this Honiture V8 Pro as it promised to be exactly what we wanted in a Robot Vacuum. We just rebuilt our home after a disaster and I was hesitant to spend money on things that weren't absolutely needed. But we treated ourselves and took a chance after reading many reviews and watching too many videos. Here's my experience...1. All the features only work through their app. But they don't support some phones. If yours is not supported you're SOL and there's NO list. We found out while trying to use the QR code after we already bought it.2. Even without the app it initially mapped our home ok. It had no trouble being relocating to a lower level even without having access to app features. I bragged about "this awesome thing" to my wife who was initially dubious but happy it worked. It did a really thorough job of cleaning our floors, way better than the random pattern of the more famous competition.3. It sat on its charger for a few weeks, then when we went to use it again we suddenly got constant errors, messages like "Please move to a Level Surface" and other recordings that were too quick and quiet to make out. (??) It was on a level surface.4. Via deep dives on Reddit and within various video comments I found some tricks & suggestions that the manual and manufacture do not cover, like hard factory resets and a work around for the Level Surface error, which I eventually got cleared but it's still never worked correctly again.5. It began the infamous dreaded circle spinning and jerking thing for a while, then it finally tried to remap part of our house and got confused & stuck in the corner of a room.6. The next attempt to use it suddenly tried to back up constantly. Even while on its charger base it kept spinning its wheels in reverse until it pushed the charger along the wall and out of the way, then took off in a random direction few feet, before starting the spinning then backup behavior again. It's cliff sensors are up front so it could not see nor halt before it did a backwards cliff dive right off our upper level. This was a real danger of it falling & hitting someone below.7. I wasted entirely too much time trying to logically troubleshoot this thing as it sat useless on the charger, and now it killed itself and I have to suffer that "I told you so" look from my spouse.I'm envious of those who got units that worked.
