"After walking them in rainy or muddy weather, having a robo mop take care of the mess is a real help. ... on our hardfloors, the robos are an excellent support and really do lighten the workload ... the convenienve of not needing to mop the house after you worked for a full day is worth it to us. ... So, 30 minutes for 7 days a week comes down to 3.5 hours of mopping saved. ... So if you want your floors to be somewhat halfway clean, you need to mop them daily (at least once). So yes, for us, the mopping robot makes a lot of sense and is a real help."
"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."
"keeps their floors so nice ... it actually works and works well"

"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 …"

"My Roborock S7 has lasted for years, is still going and feel their flagships will still do the same."
"I only had a single problem with my Roborock S7. ... A pipe burst while we are away and the poor thing tried to vacuum a inch of water. ... I replaced the vacuum module and it is working flawlessly 1 and a half years after the incident. ... The fix was 12 dollars and 2 hours of my time."

"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."
"I've got really good integration with HA. ... I have Node Red flows that have it clean specific rooms on voice command or schedule ... Node Red intelligently chooses times to empty the bin when nobody is in the room. ... Node Red turns the house AC fan on for a bit when the vacuum empties as well, to clear out the smell."
"Once you map your house and setup a schedule, there’s not much else to do."

"Its really neat to watch on the app as it goes about your house and maps it out."
"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."

"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."
"that long hair got stuck on the S7 all the time."

"If I leave them, they'll get chewed, tangled up.. it'll take robo 5x the amount of time to navigate around crap and by the time it cleans up some rooms it'll run out of battery."
"It will pick up much more dust, dirt, hair, cat litter and other debris than the S7. ... It performs very similarly to the S7, and has a very similar vacuuming module with the upgraded rollers that reduce hair tangling. The S8 just picks up far more dust, dirt and hair than the Saros 10R. As a vacuum cleaner only, the Saros 10R does a fairly average job."
"Having two dogs I would go on record saying that the S7 does a less worse job than the S8 on short pile carpets. ... But still to get it somewhat okayish clean, I use a normal vacuum twice a week"

"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."
"If I leave them, they'll get chewed, tangled up.. it'll take robo 5x the amount of time to navigate around crap and by the time it cleans up some rooms it'll run out of battery."
"hours of cleaning of robot cleaner that I already have to do a pre-cleanup for all the toys we have around."

"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."
"Tyhjennys telakka olisi ihan turha kapistus tälle, koska karvaa niin paljon joka välissä et puhdistettava kumminkin."
Big_H77 1.0Reading this literally as I closed out a support ticket for my S7 Max 😭… Gotta send it in for a repair but luckily under warranty; only had it for two months. Love the thing for vacuuming but the mopping system has been a nightmare; I’m hearing “Error 42” in my sleep at this point.
Business_Adv 1.0It depends on your budget, but you might want to check the Roborock S7 (standard dock), it has strong suction for crumbs and hair, built-in mopping, anti-tangle brushes, and a low-profile dock that won’t crowd your space. Just empty the bin and rinse the mop occasionally, and it handles daily cleaning with very little effort.
You might want to check the[ Roborock S7 series](https://www.reddit.com/r/VacuumsTips/comments/1qxaugi/best_affordable_selfemptying_robot_vacuums_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). A lot of self-emptying bots sound great on paper but get annoying fast; this one’s mostly boring in a good way. It docks and empties reliably, navigation is solid, and you’re not constantly fixing hair tangles or errors. Feels genuinely hands-off once it’s set up.
coloradical5280 1.0I second and third Roborock. I’ve had my s7 max since it came out (so over years now?) and it’s one of the most reliable things I own. Which is astounding because I’m comparing that to things with little or no moving parts
deij 1.0Get a Roborock. I've had the S7 Max for over 2 years and its been amazing, its years ahead of the last robot vacuum I had. Go to the roborock website and browse either the legacy models or the refurbished section and you can get some absolute killer deals.
falcorns_balls 1.0I like my Roborock S7 max. But I can’t compare it to anything. It does get hung up on rugs quite easily but it’s possibly because of the aftermarket side brush I’m using. There is currently a HomeAssisstant issue at this very moment with Roborock though which should be fixed soon. But it’s worrying me because It’s caused by API changes and that is bringing back flashbacks to the MY-Q situation.
joebo333 1.0Roborock S7 max is nice, it will also mop which it will turn off if it's going over carpet.
I like my Roborock s7 more than any iRobot I have owned.
Mindless-Pumpkin-317 1.0Honestly, I’m already on my second Roborock. I started with the Roborock S7 Max back in 2019, and it completely changed the way I clean my home. The performance, navigation, and consistency were incredible. My floors were always spotless with almost no effort from me. Recently I upgraded to the Roborock Q Revo Curv X because I really wanted the fully automated dock experience. My S7 Max was still working perfectly, but the idea of having a dock that takes care of everything: washing the mop, emptying the dustbin, and reducing maintenance even more was too good to pass up. I actually ended up giving my S7 Max to my mom, and now she’s also a Roborock fan. What I love most about Roborock is reliability. It simply works. My floors are always immaculate, and my guests constantly comment on how clean my home looks. It saves me a huge amount of time and makes keeping the house clean almost effortless. If there’s one feature I would love to see in future generations, it would be the ability to steam-clean floors. Combining Roborock’s automation and smart navigation with true steam sanitation would be a game changer, especially for kitchens and high traffic areas.
no1ukn0w 1.0I’ve had a couple models since buying my S7 max. It’s odd that they keep getting worse and worse. I always get downvoted, but in my real world house, the S7 is just light years better than my current revo master (one is upstairs and one downstairs). Beyond frustrating.
There will be lots of opinions. Here’s mine: I have a qrevo master and an s7 max+. The spinning mops on the qrevo suck. There’s no weight on them so they don’t clean as good. The dust bin doesn’t make sense and holds nothing. It also can’t find the doc as well. I’d trade the qrevo for an s7 (or 8) any second of any day.
Particular-Bank-5519 1.0Yes, I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve had my Roborock S7 max for maybe two years. I have it vacuum/mop every other day, and the floors are great. My one pro tip is to put about a quarter inch of mouthwash in the dirty water bin after you empty it. It cuts down the smell by like 90%.
qtdynamite1 1.0Which one did you go with OP? I’m in the same situation comparing all 3 models . I myself have an s7 max that I’m going to retire to my upstairs usage as it no long docks to clean the mop. All carpet upstairs, except the bathrooms . Laminate downstairs
