Which should you buy?
The L40 Ultra is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 10.5 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the L40 Ultra if you care most about suction and water tank. The biggest gaps in its favor are suction, water tank, battery life, among others.
The S8 Pro Ultra similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.
Both ship with comparable mopping, lidar, self-empty base, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
