S7 Max Ultra

Came into the robot world with the S7 Max Ultra. Struggling like 2 years later as the maintenance is getting more required, I can’t go longer than 1-2 weeks without a full deep clean or else the sensors get fucked and it wonders around. And it’s such a PITA… Your flair says Saros 10R. Assume the Saros 20 is what you have and I’d love to hear more about owning the 2. Not in my budget to change but right now the S7 is literally collecting dust because cleaning myself is faster and more effective than trying to trust the robot.

I really appreciate it. We saved up and I felt the S7 was the first “real” robot vacuum and it certainly was just the maintenance has gotten more and more to the point I clean the robot more than I do just cleaning the floors myself. I stopped using the mop, not because it don’t clean well but because if you don’t clean the dock then it’s just gross and the mechanism it has on the S7 is just not good. I’d bring the whole dock over the sink to clean and rinse it out and just make a mess of the counters and cabinets and who knows if it’s good for the machine to spray it with water but how else do you clean it? But even running it vacuum only, and mainly for cats that like to fling litter everywhere it was great… but now after a week it loses it spot and just doesn’t clean a room. So I go through and clean all the sensors, reset the map since it gets all screwed up, have to recreate all my scenes again. And then 1-2 weeks later do it again. I just resorted to using a manual vacuum like a caveman. I think the price is worth it, I’ve always made the argument to compare to a cleaning service that would cost $1-200 a visit you break even after a year easily. We just had a baby so $ is tight but also lack of time to clean is making me wish I had a good robot lol. If there was a trade in for the S7 even for a couple hundred I buy it right now but it seems they only go as far back as the S8… crazy since the S7 is even that old but man has the tech in this sector really be escalating lately. Would love to see a post from you after some time with it to see if your opinion still stands, how long have you had it already didn’t just release?!

Yup. S7 Max ultra. Love it. Use it every few days. 3 years in. I’ve replaced 1-2 cleaning parts but still going strong. 

For a fully carpeted 1,000 sq ft apartment, check out the [Roborock S7 ](https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Max-Ultra-Self-Emptying-Self-Refilling/dp/B0BR5D59MF/ref=sr_1_3?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0LKVxfDRUH8T8ZN3GflnS6QVJ6AkC8tQSUh7raSa41QxIZiK8IDzzGV7e0_L6fIdVc6KTTEaw9hurxr5rPP1Yum6ZDc-MGSTIEdEFcaxFbBBMyDQJECybqfpN4E3177aIn4gF5Mzuk9McbMhzxFN1zbnZ_QWzmBQzvAukLLdqEChDHI01ptXtNIPMXVgknTrH9aUDPKKtmg0dBYNCYnXWT0UK67VwrfuxsMu1gvK0iY.3xM3pH8CBYQa_jBd86KWWXKyel4I0we6k1oemTgzBn4&dib_tag=se&hvadid=570529981081&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9012073&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=3362728545910206647--&hvqmt=b&hvrand=3362728545910206647&hvtargid=kwd-1237667868693&hydadcr=16291_13413309&keywords=roborock+s7+robot&mcid=58a64fa67aa532a9a76d6a1d38b2ffa7&qid=1761753719&sr=8-3)which is also a solid choice. It has strong suction that adjusts automatically for carpets, handles pet hair well, and navigates efficiently in a multi-room setup. It’ll do a good job keeping carpets clean without you having to constantly intervene, and it’s a big step up from the Eufy E25.

I need to replace my S7 Max UltraV w/e it’s called. Main requirement for me is for it to be plumbed in. I’ve been eyeing the X50.

I’ve been happy with Roborock (ours is older, s7 ultramax I think, mood and vacuums). I just wish there was a robot to dust everything and remove hair from non floor surfaces! (I have a 70lb collie Aussie mix with serious undercoat but this post showed up on my feed)

We got a Roborock s7 ultra and it’s so helpful. We have a hairy dog. We haven’t spent time on the floors in months.

I also love my Roborock (S7 ultra I think). Going on two years and only have to do minor maintenance. After my last dog passed, I started to wonder if it was worth it and turned down the frequency, but now I have a new very fluffy collie and it runs every night. On the off chance it doesn’t run (gets stuck, etc - not too often) I can tell right away 🤣

I have s7 ultra max. The brush is different so prevent hair wrapping around though it still does at the edges sometimes. The only time I had issues with emptying was when I tried to use generic bags. They were supposed to work but didn’t seal right so dust was escaping and clogging the vacuum part.
