Yes,

S is better than Q (Q is the newer 'affordable' series)
Higher number = better
Plus = Auto-empty dock
Ultra = Ultra auto-empty dock (more features)

Wow this is the lowest I've seen the S7 MaxV Ultra, even tho it's refurbished, it's certified and sold by the actual company itself, and has a 2yr warranty. It's finally time to take the plunge. Thanks OP!

For those who are looking incredibly confused about the model delineations…
S = High End
Q = Affordable
# = Generation
Plus = Includes Basic Empty Dock
Ultra = Includes High End Dock (seems to be the triple dock or advanced dock with empty + maintain)
Max/MaxV/Max+ = Think of them like "model facelifts" of each model. Sometimes it's additional features, sometimes it's a more powerful motor.
Pro = Again, seems to be the "facelift" of each model with newer features.
+ = Again, different line of features on each model. It's pretty inconsistent.

Dumb question... If I just want to blindly buy the best one and not think about it, it's the S8 Pro Ultra, right?

That's a completely different vacuum despite similarly ridiculous name though. The MaxV is objectively better in every way minus the dock (the 7 Max Ultra dock is better designed maintenance-wise and has built-in heating).
What makes the dock better designed? I want one of the s7 max v ultra, s7 ultra, or s8 ultra. Not sure if I should spring on this or wait until Black Friday like I had planned originally

Humm, bought the S7 Max Ultra from Target during the $850 sale. Brand new. Really want the S7 MaxV for the camera to help not suck up the cords. Not sure how if the refurbished quality is worth it. 2 year warranty helps.

Just comparing features, isn't the Q Revo at 699 (brand new) a better deal than the S7 MaxV Ultra (735 refurb) ?

Dang, okay, I thought there were newer S models that were higher-end. My bad.
S models are higher end. Q comes out after and usually comes with a larger dry bin capacity and higher suction than the S model but with worse technology. I own an S7 and the ultrasonic mop has carpet detection where it will raise the mop when it contacts a carpeted surface. The Q7 has a fixed mop without any carpet detection.

Been waiting for the Q Revo to drop below 700, it is very similar to the S7 MaxV Ultra. S7 has a more complicated mop cleaning system that could potentially break, but the object detection on the S7 actually works well, which is the only downside to the Q Revo, as it has very poor object detection. I'm weighing picking this up instead.

What is the difference that makes S7 have better object detection ? Looking at the product descriptions, they both have the same wording for object detection and mapping ?

Maybe I missed something.

I am still holding out for a $600 deal on Q Revo. I think that's the best one now, except maybe the S7 Max Ultra, which is actually newer than the MaxV and better in many ways except obstacle avoidance. Neither is available in this deal probably because they are both pretty new.

S7 MaxV has a camera system which apparently works better. Watch some Youtube video reviews...

Had been thinking of jumping right in with an S8 Pro Ultra from Amazon some time back, but had held off on purchasing it because my place isn't quite ready for one (still have boxes and whatnot laying around from my move). Now I'm tempted to get one this way for $500+ less.

This video review and others like it all says the same. They both appear to have the same hardware sensor, but the Q Revo just does a poor job of detecting and avoiding objects, like cables.

I can't remember the details of the top, but I advise looking at YouTube since there are tons there. The biggest difference is that you don't need to buy a separate module to dry the mop pad unlike the S7 MaxV Ultra dock's. The S7 Max Ultra and 8 Pros docks are similar to each other in terms of having drying built-in and have better design choices to make it easier to clean vs. the older 7MVU dock (e.g. the washable filter for the dock mop water can be separated apart, but the 7MVU's mop dock filter can't).

All three are not backwards compatible with each other FYI nor are their docks sold separately even if they were. The 7MVU as a robot itself seems to be their better value largely due to the color camera/reactive AI for obstacle avoidance and remote control that works great. You just have to see if the $99 dryer add-on to dry is worth it vs. buying spare mop heads and drying the out of use one. Honestly though, the extra warranty included with these refurbs make things even slicker than buying new units to a degree (making that another thing to consider).

target deal on s7 max ultra $850 was better
People over here seem to like Ultra Max V more than Ultra.
Personally I don't like camera on the wheel moving in the house even it means that it can add better object avoidance.
