S7 MaxV Ultra

Roborock all the way, my man. They're great. I started my roborock journey with the s6. Upgraded to s7 max v ultra for about 1.5k eur and used it for about 1 year until something broke in the dock, so I spoke to Amazon and they gave me a return label for a full refund. Good timing, because the s8 max v ultra had just been released, so with that money I got me the s8 max v ultra. That was may 2024. This week, the s8 max v ultra had an issue, and guess what? Roborock offered me again full refund for the return of the robot, and I just bought again the same model, roborock s8 max v ultra. The kicker is, currently roborock has a huuuuuge promotion on their amazon.de page, and I bought the s8 maxv ultra for about 650. New! So, soon I'll be getting the refund of 1.5k eur from them. Anyway, my point is, I strongly recommend them, and the roborock s8 max v ultra. At this price, it is the best value you can find on the market.

I’ve been running the Roborock S7 Ultra MaxV, plumbed in. It finally sorta gave up on life a few weeks back. I’ve just replaced it with a Dreame X50 Master, it is also fully plumbed in. I only have to empty the dust bin every now and then. Makes life so much easier, especially with dogs in this horrid weather.

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.

Upgraded from s7 maxv ultra with the heater attachment and self plumbing / drain kit. I loved the s7 but i dread washing the filter and brushes because of the amount of gunk and the smell. I think i have very hard water so all of this congeals on the filter. The water tank above the mop also develops a bunch of black gunk as its very hard to wash the inside. Ive tried vinegar, alcohol, bleach, etc etc. You will see much less and limited models if youre in the US for direct drain and plumbing as it is not typically code to drain water here vs asia or europe. Anyway, i think only the x40 master from dreame or there is a saros one that comes with a complete plumbing kit. I chose the x40 master and although performance is on par, i see a few noticable improvements such as navigation, much quieter, flexible arms and mop for edge cleaning, and most importantly automatic hot water washing. No more stinky filters to clean and the entire pan can be easily removed and everything is accessible to clean. There is no more deattachable water tank on the x40. I think there is an internal one but it gets drained out and much smaller? I no longer smell dirty water when mopping also. I dont think i get much performance gains except for the edge cleaning . The rest are quality of life upgrades.

Dreame X40 master and never have to refill water or dump dirty water ever again. Really minimizes maintenance compared to my previous Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra with add on mop dryer.

I had the S7 Maxv Ultra for two years. Cleaning was really good. But there were some issues. My main complaint was the dock, it was difficult to clean and maintain, and it would require a heavy cleaning once in a while or it would start to smell. It was especially hard to get the gunk out, around the little cleaning brush and wiper in the dock. I did it, but swore I would get a different model next time. When it died a week ago, I wanted to get the new Saros 10r. But regionally here, its a lot more expensive. So got the Saros 10. I had it for 24 hours, then returned it. It was smarter looking then my S7, it moved about more intelligently, and it crossed the high barriers in my house. But the mopping was surprisingly bad, worse even then my S7. I did 4x full deep cleans on maximum power in my kitchen/living room and in none of these cleans, did not manage to get any dry stains off on our laminate floors. Mind you, these stains were not week old, nor difficult to remove. It ran over these stains several times to no effect. I could moist my finger and remove the stain without any force. But it didn't manage to remove any of them. It vacuumed pretty good, on par with my old S7. But it did not reach out to clean the floors under my radiators, as my old S7 did. Don't know if it was an obstacle avoidance setting, but it didn't. It did manage to get under one particular annoying serving table I have in a hallway, where the s7 and older models usually got stuck, so that part was good. The dock was a clear upgrade in pure functions, with the detergent dispenser, and the heating system. But it still got nasty like the old S7. After a full day of cleaning, gunk started building up in all the same places. So, it went back. I really REALLY, wanted it to be good. As I have a ton of spare mopping pads for it, and I thought it looked cool. But it wasn't good enough. I am now contemplating the Qrevo Curv, as a replacement. Due to the easy to clean dock, and the different mopping system. I wanted to try the Saros 10r, but it's just too expensive here.

My S7 MaxV Ultra bit the bullet, and I looked at all the premium robovacs available here and, tested out a couple here at home Dreame x50 and Roborock Saros 10 (none R version) and ended up with Roborock Qrevo Curv. It cleans way better than the ones I tested, and its much easier to maintain, than both the tested models and my older S7 dock. It was also on sale. My only gripes is the object avoidance, while its not a complete imbecile as i feared after reading reviews, it does eat socks, cords and things at times, while avoiding them other times. The only other "issue" is that the heating system in the dock is audible while running. Besides these points it's the perfect robovac in my opinion. If you want the smarter, less noisy version id get the Saros s10R. Although you will likely pay more for it, and I'm not sure the tradeoff is worth the price difference.
