S7 MaxV

We have a Roborock S7 MaxV. In addition to it's other duties it makes a daily sweep around the cage. It can handle everything except the nut shells and occasional toys that get thrown out of the cage. Have had numerous Roomba's and Neato's in the past. Roborock beats them hands down. Part of that is just the expected advancement of the technology.

Have you ever looked at the CurvX ? I'm coming from a s7 MaxV with similiar situation with the dock being the #1 upgrade factor. Vacuumwars is suggesting that the CurvX is the #1 robot vacuum and the 10R is pretty low on the list.

I have the Roborock S7 MaxV currently, and the biggest issue I have is pet hair tangle/clogging leading to the robots dust bin not emptying properly (and having no alert when it doesn't) so it'll clog up and stop vacuuming anything. Does the narwhal have that issue at all?

I rarely do maintenance on mine. The rollers are probably 18 months old, the corner spinny thing is original, I replace the bag when the base clogs, the dirty water filter gets cleaned when I notice the mop isn’t dry after 24 hours, etc. Mine is 3-4 years old. Runs 2-3x per week and covers about 2500 sq ft. Literally, the only regular maintenance I do is replacing the mop pad before every run, emptying the dirty water and rinsing that reservoir, and refilling the clean water.

I have four mop pads and throw them in the laundry after each use. The base does “clean” them, but they stink within 24 hours.

My roborock S7 VMax stopped working after 2.5 years. Motherboard dead. Customer support offered 5% discount for new vacuum. What a joke.
