Dyson may have introduced green laser dust finding in the V15<\/a>, but from what we understand it moved to LEDs later down the track.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\")
<\/p>\n
Roborock\u2019s green light looks more like a light than a laser to this reviewer\u2019s eyes, so you\u2019ll get that, which works more or less the same: shine the green light at your floor, and the dust you normally won\u2019t see with your eyes is lit up, ready for you to suck it up and move on with your life.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re done, dock the H60 with the Hub Ultra portion of the package, and the system will empty itself like a robotic vacuum, while setting the H60 vacuum to recharge.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty easy, and kind of acts like an all-in-one system.<\/p>\n
Does it do the job?<\/p>\n
With three modes for cleaning basically consisting of low, medium, and high, you\u2019ll find it\u2019s easy to turn the power up, plug in the right accessory, and get stuck into vacuuming.<\/p>\n
Power it on at the back, change the power, and watch the LED counter for the battery start to drop as you pick up your dust and debris and genuinely clean your house.<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re done, the mess of the barrel is easy to handle thanks to the built-in cleaning of the hub, though there may be times when you need to unclog it manually or even clean the barrel, at which point Roborock makes it fairly easy, allowing you to pull it apart.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What does it need?<\/p>\n
As capable a vacuum as Roborock\u2019s H60 Hub Ultra is, it\u2019s not terribly exciting to use. You\u2019ll definitely be able to clean your home, and cover all the big spills missed by the robotic vacuum you might have in your life doing the maintenance work.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s definitely a challenger to the dominance that Dyson\u2019s V-series stick vacuums hold, and offers a very similar design: cylindrical barrel, pistol-style grip, and a motor that really sucks (in the good way).<\/p>\n
But Dyson makes a much more fun stick vac, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n
Pick the Roborock H60 up and it feels solid, adopting that almost gun-style barrel, minus the trigger. It\u2019s just not there.<\/p>\n
Instead, you\u2019ll press the buttons at the back of the vac to control it, one of which turns it on while the other cycles through power modes. The screen they flank on the circular back tells you how fast your speed is and the percentage of battery life left, but that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no dust counter or even colours to denote the performance levels. It just lacks the level of user-focused design that Dyson throws into its gear. It\u2019s not quite the same.<\/p>\n
It may also have problems on carpet, or even rugs. Testing it on a small rug in Ms 2\u2019s room, we found the vacuum would handle one direction totally fine, but then rolling it back found the carpet was eaten by the vacuum, essentially providing too much suction for a small bit of fabric.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re fortunate to mostly have hard floors in this house \u2014 wooden floor boards and the like \u2014 but our experience with the stray bit of carpet wasn\u2019t the best it could have been.<\/p>\n
Nor was the battery, because using the H60, you may even find it just doesn\u2019t last.<\/p>\n
Granted, its life will depend on the speed you run your vacuum at, so there\u2019s that. However, we found that even at the low setting, the battery started to drop fairly quickly.<\/p>\n
In total, we maybe found between 45 minutes of actual use, though it varies entirely on the speed the vacuum runs on. Theoretically, you can get up to 90 minutes, but you\u2019d likely need to keep the H60 running at low the entire time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It also comes with a dust bag, which is such an unusual inclusion for a modern stick vacuum. Most stick vacs that we see today are bag-free, allowing you to quickly dump the dust and debris inside straight into your bin, often by pulling on a level or latch.<\/p>\n
Technically, the Roborock H60 can work the same way, but the moment you dock this vacuum with the hub it shares its name with (H60 Hub Ultra), you\u2019ll find it automatically empties its gunk directly into the vacuum bag for you.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, this is good because there\u2019s no maintenance, and the included vacuum bag measures 3 litres, so it can back in a relatively decent amount of dust. However, it also means spending $70 for a pack of H60 dust bags later on, which come with a dozen in a pack, but are needed for the hub stand to work.<\/p>\n
You get an extra dust bag in the box, though, so it\u2019s not like you\u2019ll need to buy one ASAP.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Is it worth your money?<\/p>\n
Priced at $999, Roborock\u2019s H60 Hub Ultra is actually reasonable value for what you get: a capable flagship-style vacuum with extras thrown in.<\/p>\n
A thousand dollars may seem like a lot for a vacuum, but for what you get, the price makes sense.<\/p>\n
The better news, however, is that you can typically find the H60 Hub Ultra for even half of this. At the time this review was published, the same model managed a $499 price tag, making it a stellar value if found at this price.<\/p>\n
Could it be less expensive? Sure, but decent vacuums typically command north of $600, so this isn\u2019t a total shock, and there are heftier price tags out there, too.<\/p>\n
We have little to complain about in this category.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yay or nay?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s pretty clear Roborock has created a great little vacuum in the H60 Ultra, and its whole hub concept not only makes the stand more than something that holds the vacuum up, but into a proper place to hold onto the dust.<\/p>\n
Overall, it\u2019s a completely effective addition, albeit about as un-fun as it gets.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s fine: not everyone needs a fun vacuum. What Roborock delivers in the H60 Hub Ultra is an effective vacuum system that you needn\u2019t think about, at least until the bag needs replacing a month or two later.<\/p>\n
