Roborock H60 Hub Ultra Review – Auto-Empty Convenience meets Cordless Performance

The Roborock H60 Hub Ultra cordless stick vacuum represents a significant step forward in hands-free cleaning convenience, combining powerful 210AW suction with an auto-empty dock system that eliminates the messy task of emptying dust canisters (yes, believe it or not, it is still a messy task). At $999 RRP, this isn’t just another cordless vacuum – it’s Roborock’s answer to making deep cleaning truly effortless for Australian households.

Coming from someone who’s tested numerous stick vacuums over the years, the auto-empty functionality definitely changes everything about how you interact with your vacuum cleaner and how to keep your hands clean. It’s amazing how we could ever live without having an auto-emptying dock like this.

Design and Build Quality

The H60 Hub Ultra feels impressively sturdy while remaining surprisingly lightweight during use. The telescopic wand extends and retracts smoothly to my surprise. I didn’t know that the wand can actually be extended and I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the “missing” long wand extension inside the box. I’ve never seen this before and it’s actually quite remarkable.

The overall balance makes manoeuvring around furniture effortless – there’s something satisfying about how the vacuum glides both forwards and backwards without any awkward weight distribution issues.

The standout design feature is undoubtedly the auto-empty dock. At 848mm tall with an ergonomic docking height, it eliminates the awkward lifting and positioning that comes with many vacuum storage solutions. The retractable wand design means docking is genuinely simple – just slide it in and let the system take over.

While traditional vacuum cleaners with detachable canisters seem convenient enough, you don’t realise how messy the emptying process actually is until you experience a hands-free alternative. Even with careful emptying, dust specks inevitably get trapped around your fingers or escape into the air as you dump the canister contents into your household bin.

The auto-emptying dock completely eliminates this problem. Simply place the H60 Hub Ultra into the dock and walk away – the system transfers all debris into a sealed 3L dust bag in approximately 10 seconds. It’s genuinely hands-free and dirt-free, which I didn’t fully appreciate until experiencing it myself.

The sealed dust bag claims to hold up to 100 days’ worth of dirt, though this obviously depends on your household’s cleaning frequency and how much debris you’re collecting. For most users, this translates to months between bag changes, making maintenance genuinely minimal. The disposable bag design means you never have to get your hands dirty even while removing this bag. However, this also means that you have to buy and replace the bag when the time comes – a minor maintenance mental thought to have, there.

And oh, the two included attachments can also be stored nicely inside the auto-emptying dock. Pretty thoughtful.

The H60 Hub Ultra excels across various surfaces, and the adjustable power settings prove incredibly useful in real-world cleaning scenarios. On tiles and hard floors, the vacuum glides effortlessly, with the medium setting providing ample suction for daily maintenance cleaning.

When tackling carpets, switching to maximum suction delivers the deep-cleaning performance you need to extract embedded dirt and debris. The 210AW suction power, backed by TÜV Rheinland certification, gives confidence. For delicate tasks like vacuuming mattresses, the lowest setting prevents bed linens from being sucked into the unit while still providing effective cleaning. I quite like how versatile the product is.

Initially, I assumed the 140° wide-angle green dust detection light would only be useful in dark environments or when cleaning under furniture. However, this feature proves tremendously helpful even during daylight cleaning sessions. Being able to actually see the dust and dirt you’re vacuuming creates a much more satisfying and thorough cleaning experience.

More importantly, the dust detection light reveals just how quickly dirt and dust accumulate in your home, helping you make informed decisions about cleaning frequency. It’s quite an indispensable feature.

For households dealing with long hair – whether from family members or pets – the anti-tangle brush is a must have. Living with someone who has long hair, I’ve grown tired of the tedious process of cutting tangled hair from traditional vacuum brush bars, especially when it prevents proper rotation.

The H60 Hub Ultra’s curved shark-tooth design with fibre-rubber roller actively prevents hair wrap, achieving what Roborock claims is a 0% tangle rate. While my Beagle and Chihuahua aren’t the most challenging test subjects for pet hair, the brush handles my wife’s long hair without any of the usual tangling issues that plague traditional brush designs.

Battery performance strikes a sensible balance between runtime and suction power. It’s worth noting that discussing battery life in cordless vacuums requires context – longer runtime often means compromised suction power. The H60 Hub Ultra’s approach prioritises effective cleaning over extended runtime, which feels like the right balance for most users. According to Roborock, the battery can make the machine run for 90 minutes but I’d assume this is running at the lowest suction setting and with non-motorised tool. When vacuuming at medium setting, I’d say it can last about 10-15 minutes.

The battery casing is detachable, making it easier to grab a second spare of battery unit to further extend the battery life (or to replace an old battery).

The 5-stage filtration system, including HEPA filtration, captures 99.95% of microdust particles as small as 0.3 microns. Combined with the 9-cyclone separation system that maintains consistent suction by preventing clogs, the H60 Hub Ultra delivers both cleaning performance and air quality benefits.

The sealed dust bags trap 99% of bacteria, keeping allergens and dust securely contained – particularly important for households with allergy sensitivers or respiratory sensitivities.

The included attachment suite covers most cleaning scenarios effectively. The motorised mini-brush handles upholstery and mattresses with ease, while the 2-in-1 crevice tool tackles corners and baseboards efficiently. Again, built-in dock storage keeps tools organised and accessible, eliminating the common problem of misplaced attachments.
