"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"
"Highly recommend the mopping one though if you have hard floors. ... Just set that thing to vac & mop every other day and never worry about dirty floors again."
"does a great job. This is with 1 cat and one drooling toddler."

"paying out the nose for my mop/vacuum was worth every penny. ... It's an absolute game changer to have freshly mopped floors daily."
"The mopping function is fantastic, and is great for cleaning footprints, dirt, and very light stains."

"They have one of the best avoidance system."
"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."
"benefit the most from updates as well. ... However he learned there was an update, and after that it was a night and day difference. ... After an update or two they are significantly better."

"We have four roborock S7’s running in our 5,000 sqft office. ... Bought them since they first came out years ago. ... They run every day. ... Only last year did we replace the battery for all 4. ... Other than that, no issue at all, rock solid, very pleased that we also have them for our homes too."
"Mine current us at 1903 hours and 94700 square meters …"
"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."

"The self emptying base station is a must for dog owners"
"best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock"
"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"

"Hair Pickup on carpet is better than the S7 MaxV but still worse than the Neato D7. ... I confirmed this by running the S7 Max V first (with rubber brush), on my upstairs carpeted room - that I purposely haven't vacuumed in a week. S7 Max V barely got anything and had some wrapped around the edges - as it does. ... For me yes but I say that mostly because of the tangle free vacuuming of pet hair and the improved hair pickup on carpets. I was tired of cleaning out the old one and so far with this I have zero tangles. ... The S7 MaxV had the worst hair pickup on carpets, with the stock rubber brush, of all the bots I ever owned. Tangles were minimal but it didn't do well taking hair off the carpets (it did great on the hardwood/tile though). Swapping out the rubber to the bristle brush improved the pickup but increased the tangle problem - it also created a problem with auto-empty for me a few times. ... It mops/vacuums significantly better than my S7 MaxV. Especially on carpets (especially especially pulling dog hair off carpets). ... That being said I LOVE the anti-tangle brush. 3 Months and I haven't had to clean the brush one time. It's literally perfect for me."
"Long hair, in particular, seems to be a huge issue – it constantly wraps around the main brush and even the small front wheel. ... At this point, I feel like I’m putting more effort into maintaining the robot than I would if I just vacuumed manually. ... I’m seriously questioning if the robot is still worth it, considering how much time I spend cleaning it. ... I think the hair will remain a problem, but it will probably require a lot less maintenance."
"My wife has super long hair which always annoys me - gets stuck on the regular vacuums brush and the roborock s7 (axles, not on the rollers)."

"does alot worse at obstacle avoidance than the s7 maxv. ... It literally went backwards in that aspect."
"Still. I own S7 MaxV and obstacle avoidance is nearly useless..."
"the obstacle avoidance is leagues better [on Dreame compared to S8 MaxV ultra]. ... 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."

"vacuum performance on carpet isn't great ... I end up going over it with a dyson"
"It will pick up much more dust, dirt, hair, cat litter and other debris than the S7. ... It performs very similarly to the S7, and has a very similar vacuuming module with the upgraded rollers that reduce hair tangling. The S8 just picks up far more dust, dirt and hair than the Saros 10R. As a vacuum cleaner only, the Saros 10R does a fairly average job."

"We bought a S7 and it broke down just a little over a year. ... Then it broke down again after a couple of months and we gave up on it."
"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."
"Our S7 that we wore out completely ... We had to retire our S7 due to excessive wear."

"the Roborock didnt have a Mop"
"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 self mopping feature imo is not worth it"
