"Seriously, it dodges toys and shoes like they’re hot lava."
"Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle."
"It’s smart enough to know when something is in the way and just works around it. The next time if that thing isn’t there it just cleans as normal."

"We have four roborock S7’s running in our 5,000 sqft office. ... Bought them since they first came out years ago. ... They run every day. ... Only last year did we replace the battery for all 4. ... Other than that, no issue at all, rock solid, very pleased that we also have them for our homes too."
"My Roborock S7 does about 2,000 sqft twice a week since 2021, and it's still going strong"
"Mine current us at 1903 hours and 94700 square meters …"

"I have 3 parrots so the floor ALWAYS has something on it. Bird poo, food, small chunks of wood, doesn't matter robots got it covered."
"The Roborock S7 is a beast with pet hair"
"The roborock S7 has objectively the best performance while keeping some autonomy (dock station, etc). ... yes, new units are slightly more hands-free but are worse at cleaning. ... I'd say the roborock s7 is the best solution if your mom is constantly cleaning, especially if she owns a dyson with laser. ... not a single one will clean traces of fine dust that lasers highlight (or that you'd notice walking bare foot). I have tested many of the new models and I keep going back to either the vis nav or the S7, these two are the only ones that have decent vacuuming performance."

"I use routines for everything. My app allows me to create up to ten routines. It is very rare for me to use any other options because everything I need to do has been set up as a routine. I can completely customize the cleaning of any room or collection of rooms. I can even create a routine to clean the same room more than once if I want to. I can then use these routines in my schedules. ... Here you can customize cleaning by room or multiple rooms. You can select vacuuming, mopping, vacuuming and mopping or vacuum first and then mop. And you can select any intensity you want for any of these things. ... That brings us back the this screen where you can tap on any routine to select it and then press the start button. ... From here, I can start any one of them with a single tap."
"in the app it will show you a layout of your home after it runs once which you can separate into rooms. I like this feature as I can schedule my kitchen to run daily and the rest of the house twice a week."
"The Roborock app works quite well and I find it easy to set up no go zones."

"they all started having mopping issues after 8-9 months"
"My S7 basically vacuums up the chunks and then mops the liquids. ... The biggest issue for me is that the moist chunks gum up the vac tray in the dock and I have to clean it regularly. ... The robot scoops up wet barf chunks that get in the dust bin and when the dock empties the dust bin the wet chunks stick to the dock and when they dry it’s like concrete since they mix with cat hair and dust that gets swept up. ... I have to unscrew the dust bin emptying chute and clean it in the sink and sometimes need a screwdriver to scrape the stuff off."
"What I don't like is the mechanism in the dock to wash the mops. It is complicated and requires too much maintenance. Without good, frequent maintenance, the S8's mop cleaning mechanism will fill up with mud, hair and debris and can clog. The same is true for the mechanism for washing the mops in the S7's dock."

"My wife has super long hair which always annoys me - gets stuck on the regular vacuums brush and the roborock s7 (axles, not on the rollers)."
"I have hair just above the shoulders and it would get very stuck on my roborock s7."
"Näin 3 pitkäkarvaisen koiran taloudessa laite on puhdistettava aikalailla joka rundin jälkeen telaa ja sivuharjaa myöten, se on niin täynnä tavaraa."

"the robot has no obstacle avoidance ... In terms of obstacles, that‘s pretty much the main reason why I added the 10R to my other floor where my cat and his toys are, it has great obstacle avoidance."
"considering it has no obstacle avoidance whatsoever."
"It does not automatically avoid the heating vents on the floor and gets stuck on it eventually. ... I have to use the "no go zones" in each room."

"Till you get the 107/108 error. ... Seems to be a fairly common enough issue. It’s got my Roborock bricked at the moment. Some sort of circuit error with the left and right wheels"
"We bought a S7 and it broke down just a little over a year. ... Then it broke down again after a couple of months and we gave up on it."
"But my floor is uneven and the vibrarise module already broke twice, once a year and something. ... I don't think that I will replace it this time, but I'm still thinking about it. It's a difficult repair and already there's some rust on the motherboard. ... Roborock S7. it arrived with a defective vibrarise, that roborock said that I had to chip it to china to be replaced. It would be very expensive and at the time, I fixed the vibrarise by myself. it wasn't that hard to fix, the bot was just poorly assembled or something happened in transit. After that fix, it lasted for 1 year, then the problem started again. When it happened, I already had a brand new vibrarise module and replaced it. The old one just had some rust, nothing more visible."

"It looses internet connection often so the app can’t connect."
"It sometimes forgets a scheduled cleaning."
DroogeNSummers 1.0Totally fine! 7S was the first for me 2 years ago and it made my life so much better. It's the best purchase I've done in my book. Make sure to check where you can buy spare parts, new filters, etc. You'll need some in a while!
12Superman26 0.1I also have the s7 and I would say the q revo looks and Sounds Better.
affo_ 0.1I don't know much about pet hair, but lately I've read so many failures with Dreame I would stay away from that brand. My Roborock S7 is still going strong after 2 years (300 hours).
aliekiddo 0.1I have a Roborock S7 and I've easily got parts from AliExpress i.e. Filters, side brush, mop pads, water tanks, and I'm confident I could get parts like wheels if I needed to do actual repairs. I haven't needed to get parts regularly in the 3.5 years I've had it, just the one off or to have a spare ready for replacement
Ambitious-Heart236 0.1got a roborock S7 and honestly it's been solid. mapping is actually accurate, doesn't randomly yeet itself into corners like my old one did. pet hair isn't an issue at all.
Ancient_Nerve_1286 0.1We have a TP-Link Tapo RV30. This is a vacuum and mop, but the RV30C version is just a vacuum which may suit you. We have a 6yo kid and 3 cats. We paid $399 several months back and it seems to work well still. It has a traditional roller brush and hair tends to get stuck there, so it needs regular cleaning. A few clips on the bin have broken off (part of one of the hinges, and part of the latch that allows opening and closing of the bin) but I can still open and close it easily enough. There is a version with an auto empty dock, but we didn't get that. For a 3 bed home it regularly has a full bin after one cleaning session. We had a Roborock S7 with auto empty bin before this which was considerably more expensive but didn't last more than 3 years. In the last year, it easily got confused, and eventually was losing power from the motors.
Appropriate_One_1341 0.1Everything „above“ the Roborock S7.
Exactly, that’s what I wanted to say but phrased badly. I have a S7 as well and I’m very happy with it.
Arrwinn 0.1I have a roborock S7, literally a godsend with three dogs in the house. My floors always look pretty clean. I only have to do a full vacuum and mop once a week now as opposed to everyday before the roborock purchase.
Artistic-Visit 0.1Roborock S7 and Ecovacs T8, these two models are mentioned most when it comes to solid performance. They nailed the core mopping and vacuuming functions without complex features
ashlynnegrace 0.1Get a Roborock, I recommended mine (S7 or S8) to my friend with 3 dogs and 1 cat and it keeps their floors so nice. It (no exaggeration) saved her sanity. It’s pricey, but it actually works and works well. You have to keep the base station maintained but it’s so simple to clean.
