"I briefly owned an s7 maxV and found it identified and avoided more obstacles than my L10s Ultra. ... The roborock pathing also seems more intelligent and would simply maneuver around the obstacle rather than having to look back three to four times to make sure it avoided the object(L10s U). ... I found the software and obstacle avoidance was far superior on the roborock."
"It marks on the map what it thinks it is and takes a picture so I can see what it avoided. So far I haven’t had it hit anything and never has gotten stuck."
"When I first got my s7maxv it was terrible, but after a couple weeks it got updates and fixed the issues I had with it, specifically the obstacle avoidance."

"i have a roborock s7 max ultra and its fantastic, even with this bloody awful thick pile carpet i cant wait to rip out, im not a tidy person terribly and i have a cat who sheds about 2 cats worth a week and regularly knocks bits of his dry food all over the place. the poor little bugger works hard but it does a fantastic job, ive been nothing but impressed"
"I have vinyl/tile floors and few area rugs, and we never really have golden tumble weeds."
"does a great job. This is with 1 cat and one drooling toddler."

"My wife is a stickler for clean floor (Asian), and she haven't mop first floor in years. ... It mops pretty good and i am happy with it (well my wife)."
"our Roborock has basically eliminated mopping and vacuuming, we haven’t done either in almost a year. ... So yes it fully replaces vacuuming and mopping for me ... It’s the only smart home purchase I’ve made that made my place genuinely feel like a smart home."
"Helped saved us so much time spent vacuuming and mopping the floor."

"We’ve owned them for a few years now, and if they died tomorrow, I’d go out and buy whatever their top-of-the-line model is."
"never needed any more than the regular wipe-off cleaning"
"I bought it almost 3 years ago now and I haven’t vacuumed or mopped my house since (besides spot cleans from kid/ dog messes)."

"The self emptying base station is a must for dog owners"
"best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock"
"At minimum, I would suggest a robot which includes a self-emptying dock... but it's almost a requirement if you have pets, unless you want to empty the robot out halfway though a job."

"Still. I own S7 MaxV and obstacle avoidance is nearly useless..."
"Compare the S7 maxv against the X30 or the X40 and you will find that the Dreame blows roborock out of the water, it's not even close. ... Considering the QRevo slim is Roborock's best object avoidance offering, the S8 does do worse than it and by extension the S7 is last gen tech. ... It's a shame because roborock would be the best choice if their object avoidance actually was reliable and consistent."
"Particularly with its ability to avoid cords and things of that nature.. Very disappointing, especially considering it even has the structured light sensor as well.."

"The S7 maxv does really poorly with pet hair. ... Gets tangled in the brush all the time."
"the brush roller which would do a good job, but literally every room I'd need to completely detangle it at least once."
"the biggest issue I have is pet hair tangle/clogging leading to the robots dust bin not emptying properly ... it'll clog up and stop vacuuming anything"

"the supplied silicon roller, which would tend to skim the film of fur off carpets into cloudy mats of fur that were still embedded in the carpet pile"
"vacuum performance on carpet isn't great ... I end up going over it with a dyson"

"These are also not BIFL. ... Honestly, these will probably run at their peak performance for around 2-3yrs (depending on how often you schedule their jobs) before they start degrading. ... Batteries will probably the be the first thing that goes, but these are generally replaceable. ... If I had to slap a lifespan on them, I'd guess five good years."
"It recently died"
"have had tons of issues with it right around the 1 year mark."

"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. ... It’s the plumbing that empties the dust from the vacuum. 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."
"I will say there's a bit of maintenance work in it though so be prepared for that. ... Mine was out of action for a month and it was pretty stressful ... Mine was broken because I used the aunt detergent and it got clogged ... after being asked to ship it to Germany for delays, I eventually fixed it with a straw cleaning brush"
"I also have a roborock qrevo with the full dock (which my other one lacks), and it's so much more convenient that it fills the water and cleans and dries the mop all on it's own, as well as emptying the dirt."
I have the S7 maxv ultra and have never been very impressed with it. Particularly with its ability to avoid cords and things of that nature.. Very disappointing, especially considering it even has the structured light sensor as well.. Not sure what the deal is.. whether it’s the software, not enough computing power, or both
r/Roborock • Roborock Obstacle Avoidance Sucks ->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.
r/HENRYUKLifestyle • Good robot vacuum and mop all in one? ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • Which one to buy with unlimited budget? ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • What's the best robot vacuum currently ->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.
r/Roborock • Same price for Roborock Saros 10 & Roborock Saros 10R? ->I’ve had the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra for 3 years now and it’s still going strong.
r/BuyItForLife • Good-quality robot vacuums for dog/cat hair that you truly like to use right now? What's actually worked well for you? ->Coming from an S7 MaxV Ultra after 2 years and now an owner of an S10, I can say, the S10 is the better choice. Done a lot of research on it over the last 6 months, thought the R was the better one but... nope. Sadly the R has a lot more issues wich have to be sorted out. But anyways, got rugs almost in the entire house, a lot of them high, a long hair collie and We're 3 People. So far after 2 weeks of having one, I am amazed. Only got stuck once so far, and it was on a fan, else wise, haven't had to put up even single No Go Zone, the S7 needed about ... 8. Was 8 the Max? Idk. But it was getting stuck way to often. Also, if You got a place for the fresh and dirt water and You know how to hook it up or someone to do it for You, I'd recommend the one with the auto empty fixed water hook up. I've got My S10 with the waterhookup for 1400 bucks while it was on sale, maybe wait a bit longer and get one with even less work to do.
r/Roborock • Same price for Roborock Saros 10 & Roborock Saros 10R? ->I got a secondhand s7 maxv ultra for €300. Maybe try looking second hand, you can find s8 maxv ultra for less than a $1000
r/Roborock • Best mop that lifts? Under $1000 budget ->I work for an athletic training facility, and we are considering buying a few robovacuums to vacuum/mop the rubber flooring and potentially vacuum the turf. The area in total is large and why we are considering getting a few of them, but the space itself has lots of items, walls, gym equipment etc so it’s not like it’s going to just clean in 5,000sqft of empty space. I know that LiDAR doesn’t do well when it has nothing to reference against (is it worth going with a camera system like the S7?) but I am hoping that with all the items it wouldn’t be too bad. The only large open area is the pitching area which is turf and we probably wouldn’t have it run there consistently, the only area of turf it would run on is the border of the main gym area. I have an S7 MaxV Ultra (or whatever it’s called) at home. Although I think the spinning mop pads may do better than the vibrating single pad.
r/Roborock • Which model to vacuum/mop rubber floors in gym like setting? ->I also had the Roborock MaxV 7 ultra and then a regular S8. Both of them just worked and never gave me any issues. That's why I'm scared to switch brands but I do not want to downgrade in terms of carpet cleaning ability. My place is 80% carpet :(
r/RobotVacuums • So what are you getting during these Prime deals? ->Honestly, roborocks before they started this new lineup. S7, S7 MaxV, S8 (lost to cat poop disaster) Those things can seriously vaccum and never experienced any bugs. Unfortunately, my home is 90% carpet so I’m looking for an alternative brand now that the newer models are less capable
r/RobotVacuums • The RoboVac you've been least disappointed with ->I got mine for free. But also, now that I’ve experienced it, I think I would have paid full price ($1200)… with that said. You could get a used one and clean it up, and get a package of replacement parts on amazon. They sell kits with new brushes, pads, and bags for like $30… or get a new one but an older model. My S7 Max V Ultra is going for $650 new and it does everything I could ever need perfectly
r/Roborock • Should I drop $1800 on a robot vacuum or go cheaper? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
