Roborock - S7 MaxV Ultra

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

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.

I’ve had the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra for 3 years now and it’s still going strong.

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.

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.

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 :(

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

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

I don't want to hear any other vacs. Roborock (Xiomi) makes the best robo vac, go and get S7 maxv ultra, as good as it gets!

I am between the Saros 10R and Narwhal Flow. It’s a really hard choice.  I had the Mova Z60 and am returning it. It was loud and had terrible battery life.  My favorite was the older Roborock MaxV 7 ultra. It just worked. My Qrevo pro worked ok but would get stuck a lot. 

Look at eBay roborock refurbished store. I have a S7 Max V I got a couple years ago and have had no issues. https://www.ebay.com/itm/404469043341?epid=12062793533&itmmeta=01K2B2ZD86TMF1PK92Q2Z8J4VH&hash=item5e2c3bd08d:g:foUAAOSwWcRmO0OU

Nothing can match up to the Roborock flagship models in my mind. Have had the S7 MaxV Ultra for over two years and it has served us so well.

For me I save tons of time with 2 dogs. I do find that you get what you pay for. Make sure you get a vacuum with pet accident avoidance. That said my roborock did get a number 2 accident before. It wasn’t fun but fortunately the robot errored out before it was able to spread around the house. I have spare parts on hand so I just switched them out. 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 vacuum yes. The mop probably not but I’m not a protectionist. I have it run 2 times a week and it cleans all the foot prints near the doors and the crumbs Off the kitchen.

My Aqua10 Roller is not very convincing either. the navigation is really poor. I’ve had to remap the layout several times and it keeps ending up outside the mapped area (probably because it can’t handle things properly without the laser tower). Cleaning along the protruding edges in the kitchen is also bad, what’s the point of having that arm then? Right now there is not really much, thats better compared to my Roborock S7MaxV Ultra. The quality also leaves much to be desired. I had two DOA units, and the third one seems to be working… for now.

I’ve had a few different ones. If I had to pick a favourite I’d say the Eufy X10 pro omni. Mainly because it has all the useful features of the flagships and is a third of the price. Getting it to work with HA requires some fiddling though. Others I’ve had: Roborock S7 maxv ultra: base station broke in under a year. Stopped being able to empty the robot dustbin. Dreame x40 ultra: good machine. Dock was a bit on the large side. I did like the separate detergent tank.

I actually thinks it works pretty well overall. In my own home, I have mostly hardwood floors with maybe 25% carpet. I have two dogs that like to get muddy and then it gets all over. I run the robot and after, I can't even tell. Occasionally I have to send it out an extra run. That being said, I have seen reviews with direct comparisons between it and some of the newer ones and it is kinda crazy how much they have advanced over the past few years. I've had the s7 for 3 years now (it got demoted to the basement) and the s8 for at least one year. I got it right when it came out.

Thanks for reply, Also with my S7 MaxV Ultra I made a clean once a month, for robot and docker. >Just remember to clean room from cables and other small things before turn on S8 It's ok, I think I can live with that. >Roboroc Curv 1st version It's without detergent dispenser (all the Q series) and I prefer with. >You do not have to buy another Roborock. I agree with you, I thought about other model/brand as well. Here people who bought Dreame and had some problems said that the importer make some problems to fix the robot, so I'm little afraid about it. But in the second hand I can also find Dreame X40 Ultra for 750 USD for example.

I had the S7 MaxV Ultra, so I know the procedure, not really hard.

Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra and thank me later.

Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is the best vac yet imo

Two things: 1. it didn’t used to be like that, we’re not exactly sure what’s up 2. Ignore everything and get an S7 MaxV Ultra. Don’t think about anything else. This machine is peak robot vacuum in every single way imo.

It does edges fine enough, not perfect No real issues with hair, check the brushes every few months. Great at object ID It also does not bring me White Castle, but you can’t have everything. Find me a more complete autonomous robot for the price of an S7 MaxV Ultra today.

S7 MaxV Ultra owner here, what a machine. Zero complaints.

Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra is the goat. From my cold dead hands.

Got a Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra 3 years ago. It’s our family favourite appliance. Helped saved us so much time spent vacuuming and mopping the floor. Definitely worth it.

The Roborock QRevo seems to go on sale every month or 2 on ebay for $360 for a refurb sold by Roborock. Mine looked new when it arrived. That's crazy good value. I also have an S7 maxv ultra, but the qrevo is close enough and cost a third what I had paid.

So, my first robot vacuum/mop was the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra The dock has a clean water tank and a dirty water tank, as well as a bag to collect the dry stuff the vacuum picks up. I had to empty the dirty water and refill the clean water about every two to three weeks, depending on how often I ran it (typically once per week). The dock also cleans the mop pad after it's done. Some of the newer Roborock models like the Saros 10 actually use heat to dry the mop. I recently got the Saros 10 to replace the S7, and my only complaint is that it has a slightly smaller water tank. But, on the plus side, it has a detergent dispenser that automatically mixes some cleaner in with the water when it refills the robot for mopping. It also has substantially higher suction so it's more effective as a vacuum. The biggest downside to the good, self-cleaning robots is cost. I got the Saros 10 on sale but it was still $1200. They make some cheaper models that are still very good, so it's kind of up to your budget and preferences. I hope that helps.

My first robot was a Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, bought about 3 years ago. It recently died, so I replaced it with the Dreame L50 Ultra. I have pretty much stopped manually vacuuming and have heavily reduced dust at home. Now, the Roborock had a kind of weak mop; the L50 is supposed to be far superior. Before, I was still mopping at least every few months, but in general, I should have done it more often. Now, probably even manually mopping won’t be required. As others have suggested, give it a try, get a decent model, especially with strong object recognition; it will save you so much time, and your place will always be clean.

Significantly. And while I don't have the Revo because it wasn't out yet, paying out the nose for my mop/vacuum was worth every penny. It's an absolute game changer to have freshly mopped floors daily. Mine is the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra and while its not the most amazing mop available, since it's a robot I don't mind making it work unpaid overtime. I tell it to go mop the floors 3 times while I sleep and I wake up with fresh floors. If the kids go nuts in the kitchen I'll have it mop 9 times and that takes care of even the worst of messes they have made.

Lower prices are always great, but I don't regret paying $1k for mine. It's been mopping floors 3-5x per week for two years now. That's like 400 times that I didn't have to mop - and that number just keeps going up. If it can keep going for another couple years I'll be happy as a clam with my purchase. They've already gotten better in the last two years since I got mine so I figure in two years I'll happily overpay for the latest features again.

I bought a used Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra off Ebay, the S8 MaxV were still too expensive. Hell I would buy a refurbished MaxV if they sold them on their eBay store.

I just bought a used Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, hopefully it works better!

On obstacle avoidance so far so good, actual vacuuming is alright. Might need to purchase a OEM main brush and see if that helps.

I had the S7 MaxV Ultra and I can see it being less good on more balanced settings, if I crack it to the max it will pick up everything just like the S7 MaxV ultra did on my tile floors, my guess is the balance is just "weaker" to save battery and show better data on their website?

I have had 3 roborocks over the years and they have worked great! My S7 max V ultra travel 180miles before I upgraded to the S8 Max V ultra. Had my S4 since it came out over 8 years ago and still use it for our basement. Also have the Dyad. Roborock makes the best robot vacuums by far.

I've been a long time adopter of robot vacuums and have had my fair share of furry dogs, including a woolly malamute + shiba pair. Currently I only have a single dog (shiba). Right now, I use dual Roborock (Q8 Max+ and S7 MaxV Ultra - upstairs/downstairs) - they are outside of your price window, but there are similar models out there for cheaper. The thing you have to understand about robot vacs is that they are light duty usage. You will still need to maintain a regular deep cleaning routine - whatever you deem necessary to keep your house in a state which you think is acceptable. The robot basically allows you to extend that maintenance window a little bit. Instead of a deep vacuum every week, maybe it's every week and a half. Something like that. They help keep the furballs down, but they won't knock them out. Also, they are much better on hard flooring versus carpet - although if you deep clean carpets, they pick up surface fur/hair well enough. Also keep in mind that you will have to do regular maintenance and replace parts on all of these. They are not zero maintenance machines. The regularity with which you do your maintenance will have a pretty big impact on the overall life of the vacuum. 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. I have Roombas that are limping along that are seven+ years old, but you can tell there's just something wrong with them (I swear they're depressed). If I had to slap a lifespan on them, I'd guess five good years. If you're ok with that, Roborock, Dreame, and Ecovacs are the brands that consistently pop up as having decent all around ratings. Roborock is by far the best all-around and most consistent. HOWEVER, this is a very rapidly changing market and what's top dog one year can be completely ousted the next thanks to shitty app updates or... well... tariffs. iRobot and their Roomba still... exists... and I guess they'd be ok as a potential "I just need a robot and this was the only one I could find in the store" option. But everything about them is pretty subpar now - the robots are inconsistent and considered pretty stupid, their app is mediocre, and their pricing is just non-competitive compared to the other brands. At minimum, I would suggest a robot which includes a self-emptying dock. It does drive up the price a bit, and the docks often aren't compatible with other models, even from the same brand - but it's almost a requirement if you have pets, unless you want to empty the robot out halfway though a job. Vacuum Wars has a website with a top 20 list as well as a YouTube channel - very worth checking out. Go through his list, find a robot that has all the functions you're looking for at the price point that's acceptable.

Based on what you’ve written, it seems that the mopping performance isn’t particularly revolutionary compared to spinning or vibrating mops. And the vacuum is average. Eufy’s advertising claims that their mopping is miles ahead of the competition, but no impartial reviews actually confirm this. Most of the YouTube reviews are sponsored by Eufy anyway, so they aren’t really trustworthy. If you already have a recent all-in-one robot like the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, which is working flawlessly but just a bit weak when it comes to mopping, would you really consider upgrading?

I have a S7 MaxV Ultra and it works great. 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.

I have a S7 Max V Ultra and it has identified and avoided poo tests before. Maybe it’s only the ones that don’t use video?

My goat S7 MaxV ultra 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Surprisingly I haven’t had my S7MaxVUltra’s suck up any socks. Once in a while it’ll suck up a Lego. But not my toddlers socks. Same for cables. I remember when I first got them I thought it was funny how when it would see a cable it would stop, look at it, look away, then look at it again to take a picture and label it on the apps map lol

Consider [Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra](https://emmaessentials.com/?s=Roborock+S7+MaxV+Ultra), iRobot Roomba j7+, or [Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni](https://emmaessentials.com/ecovacs-deebot-t50-pro-omni-review-slim-design-smart-cleaning-big-convenience/) for great obstacle avoidance, pet hair removal, and self-cleaning features. They all work well on tile and LVP floors.

I recommended the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra for its solid performance and better value over the S8, which is pricier but offers some advanced features. If budget isn't an issue, the S8 may be better.

> I find it super annoying that Roborock STILL has not released the Saros 10R in Canada. Amen. I appreciate you including CAD in your mentions above. I'm currently dealing with an issue on my _S7 MaxV ULtra Pure Pro+ Performance_ and dealing with their support, because they haven't officially release to the 10r in Canada (despite it being on their Canadian website's footer) I can't exchange it for that one, which by all accounts is a superior model to anything else they offer.

My S7 MaxV now fries my breaker everytime the dock plugs in, support told me I can have $50 off the current sales price of a Saros 10 but not the 10R as an apology. As it's literally a fire hazard but just out of warranty I'm not impressed with them... Decided to go for the Dreame L50 and leave the roborock ecosystem for now. Are you guys in Vancouver?

Roborock 100%. I own the s7 maxv ultra. Look at vacuum wars YouTube to determine how much you want to spend. Highly recommend ones that can mop.

1) Roborock s7 MaxV Ultra mops and vacuums after dinner while I’m on a walk. My kids gave it to me, and it was a total game changer. 2) Tile flooring that looks like wood (and pretty area rugs if I want a rug somewhere). It’s always neat and tidy, and it never looks worn and dirty like carpeting. 3) New York Times digital subscription. Hear me out: It’s not just for news! Wordle ramps up my brain in the morning. Engineers even use it to ramp up. The NYTcooking will up your game with food and WireCutter magazine is for everything else. WireCutter is like Consumer Reports but of everyday stuff like the best tweezers or the best spatula. Thinking’ about that bidet now based on these comments. I’ll have to see what WireCutter says about the best bidet!

Hey everyone, I used to have the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, but had to sell it when I moved to another country because of voltage differences. I’m ready to buy again, but I’m honestly confused by the current lineup. When I bought the S7 MaxV Ultra, it was clearly the top model. Is there a standout “best” choice today, or do the newer ones just target different needs? What are the main trade-offs between them? I was mostly satisfied with the S7 MaxV Ultra, though it definitely had its share of quirks and annoying bugs and glitches. Have newer models gotten better in terms of reliability or is it just more of the same but different? Additionally; is Roborock still the best option overall, or are there stronger alternatives worth considering? Thanks!

I have the z70, s8 MaxV ultra, s7 max V Ultra. All machines still function great.

We have a Roborock S7 MaxV, and I love it. Our main floor (around 850 sq ft) is all hard surface flooring, and it was a lot to sweep each night. Plus we have two large dogs. The Roborock runs each night and makes it a breeze to keep the floors clean; all I have to do is make sure the floor is clear each night and let it do its thing! The S7 MaxV also mops which I set for it to mop every other night, but the best thing is that it has a dock with a water tank that is very convenient. The previous Roborock vacuum I had also mopped, but it had a water bin in the vacuum that I would have to refill after every other mopping which was annoying and sometimes wouldn't get done. Depending on the size of your space / floor, it can be worth it. Too small of a space, and it's probably not worth it.

Major props !! She’s a beast !

In the app you can configure the light to be always on.  At least I have that option for the s7mvu.   It is hidden in the reactive obstacle avoidance menu.

From my personal experience it is Roborock models. I’ve had 2x Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, 2x Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and now Roborock Saros 10R and I couldn’t be happier. When I had first gotten the S7 MaxV Ultra’s k had questions about original accessories and I had emailed them and they replied so quickly with the Information I needed. I tried Ecovacs X9 Omni Pro and I think my robot was faulty. I tried contacting support directly when I received it, I have yet to receive an answer (Europe/Netherlands). I have returned it back to Amazon instead.

I have the Roborock S7+ Ultra. Have had it for a while and run it at least once a week. Does a great job of cleaning the floors. Still use a cordless vacuum to get hard to reach spots. Ideally, I'd run it everyday but I have cats that leave their toys on the floor all the time. If I don't pick them up, they'll eventually get picked up by the vacuum. Definitely spend on the higher end vacuums as they can actually map out your home and systemically go through the entire room for 100% coverage.

Yes, absolutely! I have a self emptying, self cleaning robot mop and vacuum from Roborock and it is SO worth it IMO. I’ve had cheap, middle range and expensive and the only one I use is the one that self cleans etc. It is worth it, I think.

We have the S7 Max Ultra and it has Vibrarise. It’s not great for stains that have dried (coffee, tomato etc) in but it does an excellent job and our tile/marble floors always look noticeably cleaner after. What we tend to do now is run normal vac and mop as our normal day to day and then once a week we’ll run a 2x cycle of vacuum first followed by intense mop. When you run the mop by itself you get a lot more options on how thorough you want it to be. I still think a DIY mop is needed every so often because it doesn’t reach everywhere and can struggle to get deep enough into the grout between tiles but it has taken away a lot of hassle for us in our home.

I don’t have a lot to compare to (apart from an old roomba and Roborock that were both meh), but my current Roborock s7 max ultra does a good job. I run it on very high and usually have it do two passes.

This seems to work better than my roborock s7 max ultra.

I also have two pugs, my S7 Max Ultra has been fantastic. You may read about dog hair causing issues, but it seems to handle pug hair fine. It's not long enough to tangle the rollers. Just make sure to vacuum often enough that \\dust bins don't get too packed and empty properly. Our pug Grogu is highly reactive, but even he was able to get used to it. Pet accidents I think are the biggest risk. I wouldn't recommend running them on a fully automated schedule, always do a quick check before running the robot. https://i.redd.it/9pk42gasvmef1.gif

For sure, the struggle is real! Our robots help tremendously, just don't expect it to fully get all the hair out of carpet in one pass. We have one fawn and one black pug, and under the bed you could see all the black hairs because our standard vacuum doesn't reach there. It took many passes, but the robot has mostly cleaned all that up. Newer models with dual rollers are supposed to be even better, but we're pretty satisfied with what the S7 has. Some encounter an issue with the robot not being able to empty the dust bin because pet hair clumps up too much. I only see that when I haven't run the robot frequently enough in shedding season. Manually emptying the dust bin is pretty easy anyway.

Just got my S7 Max Ultra and I'm very happy with it. Better still, I paid $400 for it as I live in the middle east! Does a nice job mopping tiled floors and doesn't struggle too much on thicker carpets. I'd suggest you find what is on offer, then watch reviews on YouTube to get a better feel of the product. Good luck, keep us updated.

Ive just bought the roborock s7 max ultra, currently 499 on amazon. Only had it a few days but would highly recommend it so far. 2 young boys and a dog household and the kitchen floor has never been cleaner than it has the past couple of days 🤣 Watched and read a good amount of reviews before buying as its a robovac jungle out there, happy with my purchase though.

I have the S7 Max Ultra. It vacuums and mops. Base station automatically empties the vacuum bin and the clean/dirty water tanks. It's pretty awesome. Even with multiple cats and dogs it keeps the vast majority of the floor cleaning under control. Looking at the app it does 1100sq/ft a night. Most of that is hardwood and tile. No more dust bunnies or dusty paw prints. No more grit on the bottom of your feet when you go barefoot. In a previous place I had a robo vacuum that did almost all carpet. You get that 'freshly vacuumed' carpet feeling all the time. I view them like dish washers. Sure you don't /need/ one, but if you can afford it they save a lot of time and do a more consistent job than you can. They don't deep clean. That isn't how they are meant to be used. You let them map stuff out and then you place your no-go zones and virtual walls so it doesn't get stuck on cords or whatever. Then you have it do that every day. It will maintain a clean pretty well. My current floor cleaning is basically dump the dirty water tank and refill the clean water tank once a week and empty the base station vacuum bag every two months. A manual mop every once in a while just because/get into tight corners.

i did tons of research and eventually settled on a roborock s7 max ultra which is awesome, i assume if you went all out and got the new saros itd be insanely good but the s7 max ultra is pretty damn good and i got it on offer from amazon at £500

ah i just made an assumption based on the fact the one i have is really good and i assumed the newer one could only have improved, but i guess you know what they say about assumption. maybe consider the S8 max ultra? i believe it also gets good reviews though i cant promise its actually worth the extra over the S7 max ultra (i think its about £300 more for the 8 i know it has stronger suction (not always better, my dreame d9 max 2 has more than the s7 but its not as good) and the built in direct voice commands (rather than through google/alexa) but im not sure theres many other additions in general this thing is awesome, ill be interested to see how it does over an extended period as i too have long, very thick, very strong hair that sheds allover the house, it doesnt seem o have caused an issue yet but im sure it eventually will. its definitely much quieter than my dreame was well except for when it empties the dust bag when it sounds like a regular upright hoover for a few seconds. also i suspect youll find it even better performing than me as until i can afford to get them ripped out i have very thick pile carpets, itll work much better on a hard floor (it does in my kitchen which is stone tiles)

maybe not on a roomba but in general yes. 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 bought the S7 Max Ultra for $995 and it's absolutely mint. I have a three bedroom house and it punishes the dirt and grime. Don't really know what more a more expensive model could do, aside from picking up and moving dog toys with that terminator arm.

2nd this, I run it pretty much everyday and it’s been a great purchase! Would just recommend good quality mop replacements as the ones I got initially to replace them had a habit of coming off when washing haha

I just got a Roborock S7 max ultra. It’s not the latest brand spanking new model but it has mop, clean, self empty etc… no camera but very effective Lidar. It’s been brilliant. We have a short haired Labrador and are used to see hair constantly. We now run the corner once each morning and our wooden floored downstairs is noticeably cleaner. Pretty much spotless. We still need the ‘big’ hoover once a week. I got it on a steal £499 from Amazon a few months ago. I toyed and switched between Xiaomi integration with downloadable maps and the Roborock one and decided for what I need the Roborock integration worked fine. Only difficulty I had was working out the exact room IDs.

How do you find out the airflow? I'm definitely sucked in by the high pascal suction because I think it's "double the vacuum strength" = will work better with pet hair. The roborock s7 Max ultra is half price for me and I was debating on this vs higher pascal but far more expensive...

Thankyou, the shop sales rep was trying to convince me into getting that and I'm glad that you were able to mention it to me first. Ive had the robotvac cleaning and it's been great :)

Hi ! I've got a S7 and it regularly fails to avoid my dog's toys on the floor. They are jamming the main brush and when I'm not at home it's quite annoying. Are the newer S series better at obstacle avoidance ? Thanks

I've got a S7 Max Ultra. It fails to detect some toys like cords, knots and stuff like that. It eventually finished obstructing either the main brush or the small lateral one. I won't drop my S7 I'm fully satisfied with it, but since I've moved into a new house and I've got an additional floor I was looking for an excuse for my wife to buy a new model more efficient 😃

They're great. I've wanted one for years and eventually got one on November/ December last year and it has not disappointed at all. 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, I had come to expect my floors to be very clean and I didn't have time to do it manually very much. 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 got the roborock s7 ultra max and can highly recommend it. It's just about within your budget too.

I have a roborock S7 max ultra which has great integration. I think the integration has gold or platinum label which I guess means HA have given it some sort of stamp of approval. Note the newest models might be different. I have an irobot where the integration is incredibly basic which I'm not that impressed with but it's quite a few years old and a less premium model, so that might not be a totally fair comparison.

Thanks for giving some more detail and correcting that it's silver. I'll say my S7 integration has been solid. So to OP I guess it depends on if your going to get an older model or not. They are expensive so you might be able to save some cash. 

Ignoring that every one of your posts is a chatgpt output, for a 1B1B even 2B I'd just get the cheapest vacuum unit with base, depending on square feet or if you have pets (I know you don't). If you tend to spend a lot of time mopping/vacuuming, maybe get a mop model but a swiffer/ikea mop once a month is probably what I would do. Some people mop weekly, then get a mop model. 'Worth it' depends on your income level, assets, and priorities, but everyone has their own thresholds for spending. I have an s7 max ultrav that I bought refurbished, and considering the vacuum performance on carpet isn't great and I end up going over it with a dyson, I would've been better off with a cheaper model. It's great for the hard floors, decent at avoiding junk on floors, and mopping is ok but mop systems seem to be improving rapidly and my floor is not flat due to tile choice. I have a $150 wyze (i.e. roborock clone) in my pool house, and honestly, that thing is enough for most people. Just going to a lidar robot vacuum is a huge bump for most people. The self emptying base station is a must for dog owners, I'm about to mod in a bagless system for my s7 as I get it to run the main floor every day. The mopping is fine, but I wish I had auto refill/empty so I could mop automatically, right now I just check the fluids before/during most mops. The AI/vision is decent, doesn't avoid everything but avoids 99% of things. However, I've seen plenty of posts where it will and can still hit animal waste and wouldn't rely on it if you have pets that are known to get sick or have an accident. A basic vacuum system is enough, if I were you I'd just get a base model and a mop. You spoke in another post about generating income from your emergency fund, well the quickest way to generate income is to not spend it and I'm saving you about $1500-1600 for something you don't need based on your post.

Temos 4 gatos em casa, exclusivamente de interior, uma delas tem o pêlo comprido. Comprámos um Roborock S7 Max Ultra e funciona lindamente. Tem duas rotinas diárias agendadas.

Provavelmente depende do tipo de tapete/carpete. Nós temos uma carpete com um pêlo mais curto e outra com o pêlo relativamente comprido. O robot limpa melhor os pêlos da primeira do que da segunda, mas ainda assim faz um bom trabalho (principalmente se definirmos o modo de sucção mais forte para a segunda carpete). Agora, o facto de que a nossa casa é aspirada com um aspirador industrial uma vez por semana certamente ajuda, juntamente com as duas rotinas diárias do robot. Se calhar se fosse só o robot a fazer isso todos os dias não era tão eficaz.

The object avoidance leaves a lot to be desired.

I'm looking for a robot vac/ mop that mops really well with auto fill and empty. I want one that cleans the mop while it's mopping, not just every 10 minutes when it goes back to the dock. And I want one that connects to plumbing so I don't have to deal with filling and emptying tanks. My kitchen floor gets dirty often and I want something that mops very well with little work on my part. I've had the roborock s7 Max ultra and the mop stopped working and it's out of warranty. I've been looking at the eufy s1pro and eufy e25 but they don't connect to plumbing. I see that I can buy the plumbing for the s1 but I'd rather something that comes that way with less bulk instead of an added cost after. I like the idea of the dreame x40 Master but it doesn't clean the mop in real time. The switchbot s10 sounds good but I've seen a lot of negative reviews. Any other ideas or have you been very happy with any of the ones I mentioned?

Roborock s7 max ultra.

Same on the Roborock. We have the S7 Ultra Max. It runs 3x a day. We have 4 dogs and 2 cats and our floors look great. I only need to manually vacuum the stairs.

Any guesses on MSRP for the Z1? I have 2 acres and probably 1.4 acres of it to mow. I have a 60" commerical Exmark mower but I'm getting more sick of mowing by the year and yard companies want $200/week to do it, so that is a hard pass. I already have two Roborock vacs (S7 Max Ultra and Q-Revo) and have been fairly happy with them, so this would be a nice addition if the price isn't like Yarbo's pricing structure.

If we're talking about the Roborock vibrating pads (I've never tried the round mopheads), my answer to your question is "sort of". I was happy with my S7 MaxUltra for several years, but the mopping was never better than juust good enough. It wasn't the best at tackling tough stains, it left streaks behind, etc. But it still did a serviceable job overall. However I recently purchased a Eufy S1 Pro, which uses a rotating mop arm. The arm squeegees itself while cleaning, and it separates the dirty water into a second tank that's in the robot itself. So for that style of robo mop, my answer is an emphatic "hell no". I've owned it for a few months, and the mopping performance still really impresses me. It actually works on tougher stains, it leaves behind virtually no streaks, it's more sanitary since it's always mopping with clean water, etc. It's by no means a flawless device and it has a lot of annoying quirks, but none of them are related to the fantastic mopping. It's just so much better, that I think rotating mop arms will be the default for flagship robot vacs in the near future (Ecovacs and Narwhal already have their own versions). But yeah, tl;dr: it depends on the company/robot/mopping style, but for rolling mop arms specifically I'd say that they're definitely advanced enough at this point. (And like another commenter said, the poop issue is connected to the robot's object avoidance. If a robot fails to identify poop and just rolls over it, of course it'll smear poop all over the place. But the same would happen if you were mopping by hand with your eyes closed. Judging the robot's mopping based on that doesn't make any sense.)

S7 Max Ultra. Still bloody happy with it.

Honestly, after trying so many robots, I went back to an older model - Roborock S7 Max Ultra. Just change the main brush to a bristle brush and you're sweet. It vacs good, it mops well, it's solidly built and great navigation.

I still use the S7 Max Ultra. It's bloody awesome.

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.

So personally, I've moved my S1 Pros from home to the office, and they cover over 300m² daily (they run in the evenings after the office closes). for the moment I only have 2 in daily service. Before, they were Roborock S7 MaxVs with an (unofficial) water connection kit. With the S7 MaxV (vibrating mop), the cleaning wasn't perfect (a lot of traffic) and it often got caught in computer cables, leaves on the floor, etc. With the S1 Pros, the recognition is really good (I've had the robot get caught in a cable a few times, but it's rare) and the cleaning quality is really good compared to daily cleaning. However, the water connection kit is mandatory for commercial spaces like this, especially outside of business hours. On the other hand, for the S1 Pro it is 1x per week a blast of water on the plate of the station, in the filter of the water connection kit of the dirty water tank of the station, on the filter and the dirty water tank of the robot. After that it depends on the daily passage I think but it releases quite a bit of mud On the other hand, I use a lot of Eufy cleaning products. I order them in packs of 6 or 8 when there are discounts... For my part, I have a mix of solid wood flooring, laminate flooring, and tiles. A little carpeting, but very little.

Unless saros 10r has a different mode then cleaning order and task finishing notifications should be available. Worked at least with s7maxv

Hey op, I'm two years into your future timeline. My s7 maxV kicks ass!

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’ve been running the Roborock QRevo Curv for 3 weeks after upgrading from a Roborock S7MaxV and it has been excellent. No hair tangling with the split dual brush. The only issue I’ve had is small objects (2-5cm) getting stuck and halting the cleaning cycle. I have young kids and a wife who crafts. We have an extraordinary amount of the small toys and charms everywhere. I’m sure more than 95% of the population lol, so most should be okay.

My first vacuum was an ecovacs, I forgot the model though. It was working fine and I unfortunately replaced it with the Roborock s7maxv for the auto mop washing features, and have had tons of issues with it right around the 1 year mark. Now I’m back with the ecovacs t50 and couldn’t be happier

Yeah my previous one from 2 years ago was straight trash too, I’ve gone through quite a few brands at this point but randomly got the t50 pro recently to give them another shot. I’d say their app is on par with Roborock now, and the cleaning performance I’m getting from this one is miles above my old s7 maxv. Obstacle avoidance is still not the best but I’ve noticed if you run the intelligent cleaning cycles a few times, it gets better

I purchased a Roborock S7 and the family liked it so much that I bought a S7 MaxV the following Black Friday. I have both running on different floors of the house. 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. As others have suggested, get the dock. It makes things so simple. I had a Roborock HA widget at some point, but I found it unnecessary so uninstalled it. I just use the Roborock iOS app. Once you map your house and setup a schedule, there’s not much else to do. FWIW I wasn’t familiar with the Roborock brand prior to all this. I watched this YouTube channel (Vacuum Wars?) that put a bunch of vacuums head-to-head through various challenges to see which ones performed best, and this seemed like a strong performer at that time. Best of luck. Hope this helps!

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). Perhaps Dreame has come a long way, but I found the software and obstacle avoidance was far superior on the roborock.

I have a roomba j9 and a Roborock s7 MaxV they do an okay okay of keeping up with one shepherd. Any top of the line unit should work just expect to fork over a good chunk of money. I know they Roomba “j” series gets a bad rep but I think they are great (yeah not as quite or fast as other but can be found a lot cheaper) what ever you do get a robot with a self empty base

S7 maxv is a $1000 robot while the l10S is a $400 robot. 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. The QRevo slim is rated as having the best obstacle avoidance of all the roborocks and I purchased one because of that, in my real world testing on carpet and hard floors, it is significantly worse than the Dreame X40 and even my old Eufy x10. So maybe it's the best Roborock but that really isn't a high bar to pass.

Fair enough. In that case it looks like Dreame made a huge improvement with object avoidance with the introduction of their "X" series like the X30 and X40. 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. Looking at all the comparisons, most rank the Slim above the S8 and the S7 and then the X40 is well beyond the Slim. It's a shame because roborock would be the best choice if their object avoidance actually was reliable and consistent.

I'm three years into OP future. My S7 maxV is now my secondary robot vacuum and I really like it.

It does okay. It's still short of my old neato and way short of my Dyson but it does a significantly better job than my S7 MaxV with rubber brush. Notably with hair pickup - where it does as good if not better than the S7 MaxV with bristle brush but with zero tangles. As far as actual cleanup of fine dirt and hair, my ole neato still wins. 

Had my Saros 10 for a couple of days, seems to work well on my low pile carpet. Obviously never had a S8 before. I see people mention S10 is not great on carpet due to the hair detangling brush design, but personally I am loving this brush. My wife’s hair is quite fine and long but it’s doing a fantastic job reducing the amount of maintenance I need to do for the rollers. My S7 MaxV and Eufy L60 required me removing hair from the roller at least every few days. One thing I must mention is Roborock is not putting enough resource in providing updates for Saros 10. Their focus seems to be on the 10R.

Not who you asked, but I have a Roborock S7 MaxV (something like that) and it does the same as the other person's vacuum. We love it and it works great overall. I agree with the sentiment of others that it's 80% as good as doing it yourself and then you occasionally do the deep clean by hand.

It depends. If you’re like me and my fiancé, who hate cleaning floors, our Roborock has basically eliminated mopping and vacuuming, we haven’t done either in almost a year. Ironically the last time I touched my upright vacuum was to clean the robot’s filter. If you’re a stickler for spotless deep cleans, it won’t fully replace manual work. However for us, sending it on an extra pass makes everything look beautiful. We consistently have the cleanest floors amongst our friends. I love that it fits under all my furniture, so those areas are cleaner than they’ve ever been since I’d never move furniture when cleaning manually. For mopping, there are three main systems: vibrating pads (like a sonic toothbrush), spinning mop pads that reach into corners, and roller mops, which are closest to a true deep clean since they can apply more pressure and clean themselves as they go. Maintenance is easy I toss the pad in the wash once a month, and replacements are cheap on Amazon for big brands like Roborock or Dreame. For vacuuming, mine pulls carpet fibers, so my upright has become ornamental. We’ll probably grab a stick vac for emergencies when we move, but realistically it’ll sit in the closet. The only downside is hair. Without auto detangling, I pop the roller out once a week and clear it, which takes 30 seconds. So yes it fully replaces vacuuming and mopping for me- however if you want true deep cleans, you’ll still need to go manual occasionally Last thing I’ll add is another big plus is scheduling. Mine runs every other day to vacuum, and vacuums+mops in between, which is huge with three cats and a dog. Even if I’m on vacation, I come home to clean floors. It’s also been a godsend during depressive bouts, I used to let floors go for months, but now they stay clean no matter what. It’s the only smart home purchase I’ve made that made my place genuinely feel like a smart home.

That’s also what I have- love it

I would push you towards either Roborock or dreame as they both have the best robots in the game and some of the best apps. I would also suggest you to consider using the mopping feature as a lot of new vacuums now are able to smart detect carpet and other things to keep your floors safe. IF you’re not using the mopping feature then it’s super easy to keep you probably under $1500 for three of them without even thinking about it. The other thing I’m going to suggest is keeping all three of them in one ecosystem so you can set up smart schedules through your app and let it handle almost everything. What I would do personally (if I had to buy 3) X1 [Dreame L40 Ultra AE](https://a.co/d/13v1INz) ($999 each): put this in your highest traffic area and you will be blown away by how clean your floors get. [Review](https://youtu.be/0tDHbOp-WjY?si=igaZKjPZlbNyogeJ). x2 [Dreame L40 Ultra](https://a.co/d/gHy9S4I) ($599 each). You could also just get three of these and be very happy. The L40 Ultra a phenomenal robot tha will do anything you could possibly think of asking it while also being able to handle tougher situations. [Review](https://youtu.be/51YlbWSDGDs?si=IoUXFZaR8w-rV58i). This is a steal at $599. Personally, I would just buy two of the L40 ultra AEs and put the Rooma in that unfinished space you were talking about. I would also consider two [Roborock S8 ultra maxes](https://a.co/d/5n5nCQq). I have the S7 ultra and I would die for it.

Go for Roborock, have my S7 MaxV for about 3 years now, does more than I'd ever imagine it would and never needed any more than the regular wipe-off cleaning

I rocked an S7 MaxV for almost 4 years, until it broke. Now I got a Saros 10R and wouldn't go back.

I have a Roborock that meets all these requirements. I believe that’s not the only brand. HA integration is excellent. I don’t think it has everything but it has more than I need. Edit: specifically I have a S7 maxv. I haven’t been keeping track of all the newer models but my guess is you wouldn’t need the top tier.

I had the s7 Maxv and now its on my second floor. I bought new s8 maxv ultra and does alot worse at obstacle avoidance than the s7 maxv. It literally went backwards in that aspect. I agree with the original poster. Why are we paying more for less. The s7 maxv also did way better on carpets. Only thing I love improved is the seld emty and refill dock which has been great.

Still. I own S7 MaxV and obstacle avoidance is nearly useless... and yet they managed to push it in wrong direction. Well, off to waiting for next gen I guess.

S7 maxv - mine is at 51km²/ 1471 hours of cleaning and going strong. Have a qrevo as well that was gifted us but still prefer the older s7. Could probably find a refurbished one well in your price range - upkeep has been basically vacuum bags, 6 or so filters now and 4 main brushes/7 or 8 side brushes. I replace based on condition and not the app suggestions.

Thanks for the objective early review. I'm waiting for the UK release to upgrade from my S7 MaxV, and pet hair is also one of my drivers. We have two long-haired cats who tend to leave an invisible layer of fur that floats on the carpet; it's not noticeable, but if you rub it with your hand it balls up into fluff. With the S7, we've tended to find that the silicon roller doesn't pick this up very well, with the benefit of that being it doesn't clog up, whereas if we swap and use the brush roller, it does a good job but clogs in minutes. It's good to hear from your review and others I've read this week that real-world performance with long hair seems to be really good. Could you clarify if the 10R has a RGB camera like the S7 MaxV? Cached versions of the Roborock spec reference it, but I've seen third-party comparison tables say it doesn't, and the official Roborock site doesn't seem to mention it any more.

It's a massive difference - day and night. We have two long-haired persian cats, and with my previous S7 MaxV I could either use 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, or use the brush roller which would do a good job, but literally every room I'd need to completely detangle it at least once. Had the S10 with the DuoDivide for a couple of months now and the difference is incredible - it pulls all the cat hair out of the carpet and picks practically all of it up - what doesn't get picked up tends to be an occasional clump that's easily picked up by hand. I still expected to have to do some untangling from the brushes, but in two months of cleaning, I've not needed to clean the brushes once and they remain totally hair-free. I'd definitely spend the extra on a DuoDivide model in your situation.

I'm happy with mine as well. Luck of the draw, maybe? I had the Roborock S7 MaxV before and it's obstacle avoidance was more of obstacle attraction.

Even ancient og Roborock S5 will absolutely outshine this thing. They can often be found used for like 80usd just because the included charger costs like 50usd and fits all roborocks. The S5 can be held alive forever with cheap original parts from AliExpress. If you have more cash then roborocks MaxV models often go used pretty cheap and especially the S7 MaxV is fenomenal.

From my experience. Roborock Q8 very good for the price, S7 Maxv little better than S8, both great, Dreame L10S Pro as great. The newer more expensive stuff is even little better like X40 Ultra, but it has the docks.. Electrolux i9.2 had suprisingly good obstacle avoidance, could even avoid small cables, but god did that robot suck in anything else.

I have a Roborock vacuum/mop combo (S7 MaxV Plus) that is a few years old now and still going strong! I have vinyl/tile floors and few area rugs, and we never really have golden tumble weeds. I made my decision after watching videos on the Vacuum Wars Youtube channel: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meXb09Ywgq8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meXb09Ywgq8)

Hola! Por casualidad pudiste probar con las sillas tubulares metálicas? Es el mayor problema que tengo yo con el S7 MaxV y según la publicidad el StarSight 2 es capaz de reconocerlas.

I’m sure with software updates the obstacles avoidance will get better. It’s only the 3rd day being released.

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. Now updates may not fix it, but I’m betting on it fixing it soon. It’s new tech it’s going to be buggy. If you aren’t willing to have problems at release wait a few months and see if the updates will fix the problems.

I live in a 2 story home. First floor is all LVP and marble. My Roborock comes out twice a week; once for vacuuming and sweeping, and once for mopping. My wife is a stickler for clean floor (Asian), and she haven't mop first floor in years.

Roborock S7 MaxV. It mops pretty good and i am happy with it (well my wife).

Roborock Q5 Pro gibts aktuell für 230€ und den habe ich dreimal. Einmal zuhause und jeweils einen im Büro. Bin vollstens zufrieden. Wir haben zuhause auch noch den Roborock 7 Max V der um die 700 € kostet. Aber der Q5 Pro reicht völlig, wenn das zuhause nicht all zu kompliziert ist (viele Kabel oder knifflige Stühle etc.) Wobei man auch hier Sperrzonen easy einrichten kann.

My Irobot J7+ and Roborock s7 maxv have significantly different power, but not in that sense. The Roborock can go far longer without having to return to the dock and charge, while the irobot often has to charge 1-2 times before finishing the same job. Navigation and mopping are also obviously better. Bigger batteries are key as the machines age, since you can't replace batteries easily. 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. The J7+ Does have a bigger dirt bag, but it clogs more often IMO.

The S7 maxv does really poorly with pet hair. Gets tangled in the brush all the time. Don’t recommend that one.

Had the S7 MaxV for 3 years and since monday the Saros 10. Have no issues and everything seems clean. It's also the first robot to vacum our high pile carpet so thats a huge win for me.

I modded my s7 maxv a year ago with results here [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1gkjbos/update\_i\_modified\_the\_exhaust\_of\_my\_s7\_maxv\_ultra/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1gkjbos/update_i_modified_the_exhaust_of_my_s7_maxv_ultra/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) it significantly increased airflow = suction. results are much less hair ending up on the roller blade and more vacuum power on carpet but is pretty loud. this requires opening up the robovac though and grinding a hole. i've also tried upgrading my fan when i stumbled on this post [https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1ew3a0u/upgraded\_my\_s7\_max\_ultra\_fan/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/comments/1ew3a0u/upgraded_my_s7_max_ultra_fan/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) doing this along with my modification further increased airflow. results were almost no human long hair ending up in the roller blade but it was way too loud and errors came up mid cleaning on vac + mop. ended up going back to old fan. I believe right now i have the most poweful roborock vacuum lol.

Our Roborock works well on our hard floors but I do sometimes need to do the rugs manually

I think I have the s7 ultra

Our first was an old hand me down eufy. Just kind of bumbled around randomly. Still helped, but had to maintain a lot. I ended up getting a Roborock s7 ultra that makes a map and mops and vacuums. Run every night in the main rooms and a few times a week in bedrooms and I haven’t cleaned floors manually in months. Helped with old dog (pit bull mix that shed a lot) and new dog (collie with super long hair).

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've only had this a day but really impressed with it. Its half the price of my Roborock S7 Ultra and its got better vacuuming and mopping. The design of the dock is better as it makes maintenance a lot easier with the removable section. I don't have pets but house is 50/50 carpet/tile and no issues with vacuuming or mopping or navigation so far. It did once think the grout between the tile was a wire or cable and try to avoid it.

Get the #5, I got the mova p10 pro ultra. It's amazing. Really impressed compared to my roborock s7 ultra. Also much cheaper

My Roborock S7 Ultra is significantly quieter than the iRobot that it replaced. It is also better at navigating and can finish the job in like 1/5 time.

I run my bot every day. It’ll do the high traffic area in 30 minutes and a full house on Sunday in about 2.5h. I feel like little and often is the way to go. I can’t say I’ve wanted more suction from it. If I had a wishlist it would be to make it quiet enough to run at night, and for it never to get snagged in cables (it can ‘see’ supposedly but it’s not perfect)

I know  someone already mentioned the S7 Max Ultra and you already  responded that the newer models are better. I'm circling  back because my S7 Ultra feels pretty perfect. I believe you  that later models are  better, but I can't  visualize how. What am I missing out on? (You know  I'm  foolishly  hoping you'll tell me  they'll  do my taxes and make toast!)

I have the Roborock s7 ultra which self empties and has a special brush which my hair doesn’t get caught in. I had the Roborock s5 max previously and my hair always got trapped in the brush roll.

I had a Roborock S7 Ultra, Then a Ecovacs X2 and now a Dreame X30 with a Narwall Flow with water kit shipping this week. Right now my vote is for the X30 if you don’t count the App issues (I just don’t like the app) and customer support or lack of. My opinion may change after using the Narwall for a while though.

Roborock s7 ultra running on daily schedule for almost 2 years and some manual extra mopping. Simple and rare maintenance, works with home assistant l, we love it! Its our first robot vacuum tho

I have a roborock s7 ultra I paid $1200 I think for it. It’s great. I ended up buying a Narwal Freo X for another floor in my house and incredibly impressed. Paid like $300 for it and it rivals the roborock.

Glad to help! The Narwal I was skeptical about because all the YouTube reviews are paid (they literally tell you they got it free). I figured I got it off Amazon and if I don’t like it I can return it. The only thing I like more about the roborock is it’s better with avoiding wires. Narwal you have to make sure there are none around (not a big deal). For the price point I would buy the Freo in a heartbeat again

Hire a cleaning service if you want a deep clean. I have a Roborock S7 Max and LVP floors with various rugs. It can be great for maintaining cleanliness (assuming you don’t have young children like I do leaving their messes everywhere and can actually run it on a regular basis). I hardly use it any more and it’s fallen into more of a pre-clean tool - so I may pick things up off the floor and have it do its thing while cleaning elsewhere in the house, and then I can double back with a mop where needed.

I 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

my Roborock s7 vmax is 3 years old at this point so im considering the saros 10R or Ecovacs X9 Pro Omni. Leaning towards the 10R but waiting to see what kinda deals are out there

Roborock S7 max is nice, it will also mop which it will turn off if it's going over carpet.

You're in the place I was about 7 years ago. I went with ST's as my platform for the same reasons you're looking and still with it. Here's the thing with smartvacs IMHO. There's not a lot that you need to do with them in ST's. I started with Samsung vacs and honestly they were just ok. I moved to Roborock S7max and it's been great, however it doesn't integrate with ST's, it does integrate with Google so I can tell it by voice to clean the house or a specific room or use the built in scheduler. They do have some newer vacs that are Matter enabled, so if you go with ST's and move to a hub like the V3 or the newest just announced V4 you'd be able to integrate a much wider range of products. I run a V3 and a V2 hub and have right at 300 devices in my environment.

Roborock S7 max here too. I've got really good integration with HA. I have Node Red flows that have it clean specific rooms on voice command or schedule, and 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.

I just bought a 2021 Roborock S7 for €120. The pre-2024 versions are compatible with Valetudo. I tested the official app for a day. And when I saw that the Home Assistant integration still required a connection to their cloud, I installed Valetudo. I took advantage of the disassembly to access the motherboard and cleaned everything. For a fifth of the price (€550 four years ago), I think it's a good deal. The build quality means it should last for many more years, I think. And spare parts are easy to find. The S8 is also compatible with Valetudo. I've seen many people selling robots that are only one or two years old for a third of the price. Many people switch as soon as a new model comes out.

The q revo master has been doing pretty well at avoiding cables. Sometimes the mop gets stuck and the mount comes off but a lot less than my s7. Vacuum wars on YouTube also rated it the highest for avoidance with AI and its cameras

We have the S7 love it.

I have a roborok 7 and I have white furred dogs that shed constantly. I run the vac every day and it does a good job to keep the white tumble weeds down from my dogs. I only have 2 rugs and every other day I will use the hand vacuum. It makes my house look clean and keeps the dust down so I also don't have to dust as often. I can tell a difference than the older models that randomly moved about your space. One of these days they will be able to handle the rugs! I hope...

Are you looking for only roborock? The roborock MaxV has no extending side brush for corner cleaning. Roborock’s side and edge cleaning algorithm is also rather conservative and won’t extend the side brush out to clean closer to edges if there’s like a toe kick or swing the extended mop(which dreame/MOVA does and Narwal does this too but with the mops only). > better mobility and avoiding obstacles Roborock’s obstacle avoidance lags behind other robots, even at this price range. TvT I’d check out the dreame l40 ultra or the MOVA p10 pro ultra if cheaper than the MaxV. Turns out it’s the p50 with the broken front wheel issue.

The s9 maxV ultra (sold as the Saros 10 in other markets) has a more difficult to clean mop washboard compared to the qrevo Curv 2 pro and the Dreame and MOVA robots with the aceclean jetspray dryboard.

I have an S8 pro ultra and long-haired dogs. Never had an issue but normal maintenance is clearing the sides of the rollers (easy to do since the mounts slide out). The newer version (maxV ultra) is currently on sale for $1k on Amazon.

I have the max v ultra, and I have the dock hooked up to water and a drain so it never needs a water refill or dirty water dump. Like someone else mentioned, the cameras don’t know if a puddle is barf or a spill so it cleans it up. To be fair, it does a good job with the cleaning usually, but I just have to disassemble the dock sometimes to get all the fur/barf chunks out of the vac emptying pathway.

also had the s5 before, the s8 is so much better in light mopping. you should get one with a station, like tha maxv ultra. it cleans the mop like every x minutes and its perfect.

The mops lift but chassis doesn't İ have a max (no adaptive lifting) and it does fine with high pile carpets

I loved the MaxV last year, it felt very modern at the time. A number of features around nav and sweeps have happened since then, so it feels a little out of date. But... I haven't tested all these subvariants of the Qrevo listed above. The arc looks like the Curv.... so not sure why its named differently.

what do you mean? As in they can do them, but terribly, or physically cant do corners? The MaxV has the mop flexiarm, the curve and the qrevo ultra has the side brush and mop flexiarm.

It's got 5 vacuum power settings. Have you tried maxv?

My just the vacuum tab has an extra option. Also just the mop function has an extra setting for routing. I find it better to run vacuum first then to run mop separately 

Roborock maxv is good. L40 Ultra if you can find if for 475 usd deal is a steal. I have the L40 U. It's amazing. It can detect poop easily. Tested in my house with my cats. But be aware no robo vac is 100% safe for this. Yet

It's my first robo vac for me it costed 850 euros 3 months ago. I did spec compared it. A friend bought the maxv they are also happy with it but it's more expensive here. It does hot water mop washing at the base station, hot air drying. Mop extend, arm extend and LDS lidar, light 3d sensor etc. 11k suction. I turned of carpet boost. It kinda damaged my patch work animal post carpets lmao too strong. I have two cats, mopping is very good house is spotless Roborock has a different mopping system. You can get tricut brush for dreame too. Definitely check other options L40 Ultra doesn't have water spill detection featuee and can't detect water bowls for pets (must set no go zones for them)

I got the MaxV at Costco a few months ago and love it. Have all hardwood floors with 1 area rug and does a great job. This is with 1 cat and one drooling toddler.

I got the MaxV from Costco and couldn’t be happier. We have all hardwood floors with 1 area rug, 2 young kids and a cat. Does a great job!

This won’t be any help to find what you’re looking for, but I just want to push back on your requirements. Auto mop washing is probably one of the most worthwhile features of any robot mop. The whole point is frequency of cleaning due to convenience, and manually removing and washing pads takes the automation right out of it. I would say, with you worrying about something going wrong with the auto washing system: the rotating mops have been so successful compared to vibrating partially because the washing system is so simple. Since the pads rotate on the robot itself, the dock doesn’t need moving parts to clean the mop. The pads simple rotate quickly on what is basically a fixed washboard and the dirty water is sucked out. Way simpler and therefore cheaper, hardly anything to break. Secondly, as far as bags go. Bagless in any form of vacuum is practically a gimmick. You always need something for air to flow through, and if you don’t have a bag, then you have a filter to clean or replace. And they tend to be much much messier to do so, and then the machines don’t last either because the dust gets everywhere inside the machine. If you don’t have pets, bags last a long time. It’s just my opinion but I think you’re really unnecessarily limiting yourself for nonissues. There’s a reason these features have become basically the standard, they work well and work reliably. If I were you I’d get one of the Roborock revos or similar and call it a day, it will be a much better experience overall. I had a Revo and then a MaxV and was happy with both.

The Ultra is the only one with dual rollers, so if anyone in your household has long hair it's the only one I would consider. **Source:** Have long hair and way too much experience cutting hair off of vacuum rollers.

The Ultra can do corners with the extended mop and flexiarm, also the top lidar sensor will retract so it can go to lower furniture

I have Roborock S7/S8, it's very reliable and worth the price. I've had it for 4 years now. Just need to keep the sensors clean and filters monthly.

Don't spend $1000 on one, go for one around $350-$400 with an auto emptying dock. Roborock is my favorite. You'll get 99% the same features and function as the $1k one, and if you like it then you can get a second one and still be under $1k!

Depends on your flooring and needs If carpets - Roborock - best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock (most newer models) If hardwood and no pets (Read not an inordinate amount of vacuuming) - Eufy S1 Pro - Best mopping hands down along with pretty good vacuuming

Ich sehe das ein wenig anders als die meisten Kommentare: kein Staubsaugerroboter zu besitzen ist schlimm. Irgendeinen Staubsaugerroboter zu nutzen sind 80%. Hauptsache ist, der Roboter lässt sich programmieren, findet seine Ladestation und läuft regelmäßig. Teurere Modelle zu kaufen schließt dann irgendwann die Lücke, die man ab und an noch selber saugen muss, je weiter man an 100% will, umso mehr kostet es im Zweifel. Ich hatte schon verschiedenste Modelle, habe im Keller einen Chaosrobo, im Erdgeschoss einen Roborock mit Absaugstation und oben einen Eufy. Eufy wäre mein Preis-/Leistungstipp.

Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.

We have two shedding dogs and we love our Roborocks. The first one, while it was fantastic filled kinda quickly (not their fault, our dogs shed A LOT) so it was a minor inconvenience to empty it halfway through it's cleaning 2700sqft. My brother became disabled so I gave him that one for his apartment. He loves it and his helper can empty it and help him with harder care items so it saves him money (he was initially being charged an hour every day for vacuuming, now he's not). The second one I got was self emptying so it can continue all by itself and I really appreciate it. I only have to empty the main basin once a week and that's it. Super convenient and does a fantastic job cleaning. I used to vacuum at least twice a day to stay on top of the hair. Now I do a "deep" vacuum once a week- baseboards, under carpets, etc. Roborock gave me hours of my life back and that's not an exaggeration.

Get a self emptying Roborock one. Roombas are crap that are basically all about their name now. You will have to clean the fur out of some spots on it at times, but if you run it every day it will keep most of it out of the way.

I have an expensive roborock and it's great. It's the self emptying one, was like $1k on sale last year. Wait till November/Black Friday sale and they are 30-50% off regular price. Can definitely find a good one within your budget

I bought a barely used self-emptying Roborock on Facebook marketplace a few months ago and it is hands down one of the best purchases/decisions I’ve ever made. One dog and a cat and I was losing my mind trying to keep up with my floors.

For the price (£250) I am very impressed with mine. Its got LiDAR, a mop, empties itself, etc. 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. Definitely does not replace vacuuming as a whole though as it just cant physically get into the corners, and the vacuum itself isnt enough to really suck stuff out of the carpet, more just pick up things on top. I treat it more like a broom than anything else, but having a pet it helps me keep on top of things.

I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
