I’ve had a Roborock s7max V with the empty/fill station for about 2yrs. No problems with it. Mostly wood floors with rugs in some rooms. Two levels. We did have a Great Dane until recently and this robot (we call rick) kept the floors decently clean even with that to contend with. Love that we can have rick clean the floors while we are away from the house. Love he keeps maps of both floors and that we can pull up the camera even when we are away in town to check on things. If budget wasn’t a constraint we would have a second one. Previous 1st and 3rd gen roomba owner.

We have the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra and love it. The phone app is second to none in my opinion, having used Shark, iRobot and Neato in the past. We've had it for 2-3 years now and no issues at all other than regular cleaning & maintenance. Ours is the full auto-empty/wash/mop base, but you can get them without the mop cleaning part for a bit cheaper. 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. Checkout "Vacuum wars" on YouTube, he has fantastic videos testing & comparing all the various robot vacuum models.

I have the s7 MaxV Ultra, it's been pretty good, but I've heard the Roomba is better with longer pet hair, your JR should be fine either way. No robot hoover is fully automated, you will still want to detangle the roller, and empty the dirty water pretty frequently to avoid smells/other things.

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.

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.

I've been looking into it myself, than decided, to get a autofill station for My S7 MaxV Ultra as first and maybe wait for a more improved version of that S8 MaxV Ultra, since, they sadly have rushed it a bit and a few of the features aren't on point as they've said. Also, that trade in programm would probably give Me just 250-350$ back for My, now almost a Year in Heavy use, very dusty envoirment. So, eh, gotta do that and maybe put that S7 later on into the shop or soemthing or into the wharehouse, idk. ... Long story short, get one of those autofill stations, and maybe wait a year, at least that's what I'M planning to do since I have it in use almost daily as well. Also, those autofill stations are around 250-350$ on AliExpress, when they're on Sale, sometimes down to 175$, so get one if You can and wait a bit.

We have the S7 MaxV Ultra and a brand new S8Max ultra. We decided that the added capabilities of the V version didn’t outweigh the price. The camera is a neat function but we didn’t use it and the avoidance honestly isn’t great. The regular sensor avoidance on the S8 seems on par so far or better(only been a day or so)

I like my roborock s7. I have the manual empty dock but will eventually upgrade to the auto.

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 have a shepherd mix and this time of year he's shedding like crazy. I have a Roborock S7 on my first floor (hardwood and I like having the mop) and a Roborock Q5 Pro for the second floor (medium pile carpet and I don't need the mopping). I didn't opt for self-empty bases for either and I'm actually happy I didn't because I would be filling up the bags every week. I simply empty the bins into the trash once a week (more so now because of shedding) and I'm good to go. A few notes: * the Q5 Pro has a much larger dust bin than the older Q5 and an updated roller design. I'm seeing good results with dog hair pick up and the larger bin is welcome. * The Q5 Pro dust bin design is WAY better than the S7...so make sure to look at dust bin design whatever you buy because some are annoying to empty. * I also like Roborock's software, mainly the ability to schedule cleaning of different rooms at different times. * you can absolutely get a good vacuum under $500, I think I got the Q5 Pro for $299. w/Self Empty it might be $499.

Roborock S7. It’s not cheap $300-$450 range but it performs in every metric. I was skeptical but it can send it out when I think the floor is clean and it comes back full. The mop attachment actually does clean my hardwoods and tile. I use hot water only and again surprised it works.

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

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!

Used to have iRobot/Roomba. But after looking at a bunch of videos from the vacuum wars YouTube channel (extensive testing of all the brands), I went with Roborock. I’ve had the S7 for 2 years, and the S4 I gave to my MIL after upgrading (hers still works perfectly). It’s a fantastic machine! Mopping function is decent but not fully replacing manual mopping, just reduces how often I need to do it. Black Friday is coming up, so I’m sure there will be good deals.

I’m happy with the S7. The docking station of the newer models is a little too large, and adding that level of complexity raises concerns for me. Happy to see what happens in 5 years, as by then there might be some big improvements that are worth the upgrade. More likely, I’d consider looking into a dedicated robot mop if it gets great reviews.

I have two a Roborock S7 and an S8 ultra something with the dock. For vacuums I have been happy with both. The Roborock integration works well, but as others have said it does rely on their cloud to function. I stumbled on Valutido. The install process is harrowing and I've only done it on the S7, which required almost fully disassembly (only two extra screws). https://valetudo.cloud/ Its awesome. All the same featured but completely controlled locally. I'm working up the courage to try it on the S8.

It depends on how bad your dog hair situation is. My son and daughter in law have gone through 4 of various brands in just over a year. They just gave up entirely. They have 4 full size shedding dogs though. They said it was def the dog hair that kill the vacs and not the kids. On the other hand, my wife and I have a Roborock Ultra and 3 small non shedding dogs. Our robo vac is by far one of our best purchases. Why run it when going for a walk? We run it after we go to bed.

I had a Roomba (i7+) and now have a Roborock (s7 Max Ultra) and I'll say that the Roborock appears to vacuum better, but the Roomba was **WAY** better at navigation and not getting stuck in fun and interesting places every day.

Really really. It'll get itself "stuck" in areas that it could have easily gotten unstuck if it were to be "dumber" and just bump into things on its way out. Instead it "sees" an obstacle and doesn't even try to get unstuck. I know it can get unstuck because I'll drive it through the app out of where it was "stuck" without much difficulty.

The "bumping into everything" part is why my roomba didn't get stuck nearly as often. The roborock "sees" obstacles it deems insurmountable, has a panic attack and just throws it's hands up and says "I'm stuck, come help me!" without actually trying to get out of wherever it is. I know it could have gotten out of about 90% of the situations because I drive it out using the app.

Eufy is pretty good and great value for a robot that includes self cleaning mop. But I will say that the robot is a bit dumb in attempting to get over transitions between different height floors, compared to a Roborock S7 that I've used in the same space. My kitchen and bathroom tile was a centimeter higher than my hardwood floor in the hallway. My Eufy x10 would keep trying unsuccessfully to cross that threshold and eat up its entire battery. Sometimes the x10 will make it onto the higher tile, but then not realize it and navigate back off the tile. I've found that putting the robot into mopping mode helps it get over such floor transitions more easily. Or if I am in vacuum only mode, if I'm home I might give it a firm shove with my foot over the threshold. They contacted support asking for better programming to get over thresholds, but a half year later, I don't see any improvement. The robot needs to at least realize it can't cross the threshold and give up rather than keep trying... I have since moved to a renovated home with no such transitions between rooms, and the x10 is great.

Robot vacuums have really come a long way even in recent years. Lidar + Structured light or AI cameras make them great at navigation, and auto empty dust bins and mopping functions greatly improve both their autonomy and cleaning power.  I picked up a couple of Roborocks (S7 Ultra and QRevo) last black Friday and they are game changer. I used to have to rescue my 7 year old Roomba often and empty its bin every other vacuum. Now my floors are literally the cleanest they've been in years and the only time I really have to think about my vacuum is to empty/fill the water, clean the filters in the base and swap out the bag occasionally.  We have two cats and the reduction in dust and cat hair is noticeable.

If all you care about is the vacuuming performance, the dyson robot vacuum is the best performer (especially against fine dust and deep carpets), If you want other commodities/features, then the roborock S7 is good. The s8 and newer units have more features but decreased vacuuming performance. I wouldn't get a roomba unless you value support/warranty the most, irobot vacuums aren't the best anymore but they do support their machines for a long time and support is better than what you will get with roborock/dreame/dyson. Regardless of what you choose, modern robot vacuums will do a good job.

No it's not bad advice, vacuumwars tests are often not representative of real world scenarios and fail to mention some of the degradation modern releases have had over older robot vacuums. To be fair, on his review of the S8, he did mention the reduction in performance over the S7, however, he didn't showcase how bad it is compared to the old S7 (particularly against deep carpets and tiled floors). You can see what I mean on this channel: [https://youtu.be/VVnX3uhBiTQ](https://youtu.be/VVnX3uhBiTQ) , the owner uses multiple carpets of different density and materials, uses certified test dust along with other challenges that you'd expect robot vacuums to be able to deal with (tiled floors, hard floors, etc). You can find similar reviews on asian blog posts (chinese & japanese in particular), where roborock gets way more critiques for overhyping their products and reducing the quality of new releases while having zero after-sales support.

I have a Roborock self emptying one now and mostly got that because it could vacuum and mop. Before I had a neato bot vac and dir just vacuuming the neato is far superior. That did a way better job of throughly heavy duty vacuuming, when I had that vacuum I had 3 German shepherds and a black lab so I definitely needed a ton of suction and power that didn’t clog, get tangled etc. but now I live in the north and with snow and ice and mud I needed mopping too. I also now only have one German shepherd, my other dogs don’t shed as much. But I also have a pot belly pig that always brings in mud. So the Roborock works great for that but for straight vacuum and suction power the neato is better.

>I don't want to compromise; I want the best machine possible, and my budget is around $500 (Or a little more) Those two things are **very** firmly at odds with each other. Good quality vacuums with all of the functions you listed simply cost **much** more than $500 and you ain't going around that. >I've seen conflicting opinions about the superiority of the robots. Can you guys recommend? [Vacuum wars YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvavJlMjlTd4wLwi9yKCtew) and website are a good starting point for looking how different vacuums stack up against each other. My personal piece of advice is that realistically how good vacuum is as well as parts availability over long term are critically important. More so than minor differences in HA integrations. Last but not least - pretty much only fully local option is to install Valetudo. Which is not really feasible for normal users. Valetudo also comes with a very strict list of supported vacuum models - typically a bit older and thus none of them have all the features you listed. At best they have basic auto-empty docks. Usually a good compromise is one of decently modern Roborock models. They generally are good and well supported vacuums hardware-wise. Their HA integration is also *mostly* local and works very well. Just be prepared that you'll either need to limit your requirements to something less high end *or* prepare to pay north of $1000. Most egregiously: mop drying feature is super recent and only available on handful of top models. EDIT: personally I have had Roborock S7 with no docking station for 2 years now. It's more than good enough for my small flat - I run it every 2-3 days. For my usage, its water tank is sufficient for a few runs - every time it runs out of water I also empty the dustbin and change the mopping pad (I have two on rotation and I toss the other one with dirty laundry after changing them out). Unless you have a large house to clean, there is not *that* much of a benefit to a base station with all of the bells and whistles.

The narwal freo z ultra and freo x ultra both have anti tangle brushes. In my 1+ months of using both of them, no hairs has ever got stuck in the brush or the axle. 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). But with the narwal, I never had to clean them once. Narwal does a pretty good job of vacuuming and mopping but the app isn't mature and the same goes for the robots themselves. They have some quirks - the mapping/ map updating kinda sucks sometimes and both the robots I had to re-map the house at least 2-3 times. Also, splitting rooms or modifications to the map also has some quirks that annoy me so much. I also had some concerns on privacy so I returned the freo z, still have the freo x, will use it for a bit and decide. The only thing holding me from returning the narwals was/is the anti tangle brush.

I haven't opened the roborock app on my phone for a very long time. in the HA app i have custom buttons for specific room cleaning as well as physical zigbee buttons in the house for cleaning rooms or to send to a pinned location for emptying the bing.

Hmm thats cool that everyone on here can afford the Eufy .. but my used roborock s7 works great for me. I had an irobot m6 and it was awful. Floor streaks and would get stuck on absolutely anything. Roborock is great all around brand for vacs or vac/mops

I can only say positive things about my Roborock S7! Got it the day I bought my flat and it’s made my place always clean. Having a vacuum and a mop attachment is an absolute must if you have hard floors imo.

I have a Roborock S7 that's still doing well after 3 years. I've had older model robots die after 2 years. But the lifespans seem to be improving. Another factor is that the technology keeps getting better fairly rapidly, so it's often tempting to upgrade after 2-3 years.

My roborock S4 is 8 years old and my S7 is 3 years old with over 3,000 hours of run time and still going fine. So no least not for Roborock brands but that's why you buy the best!

Not sure why so many upvotes. Had S5, S7, Q7 all above 3 years and battery is barely different from new. Maybe everyone in here live in castles I don’t know

My Roborock S7 has been nearly flawless. I just fill / empty the tanks for it's weekly cleaning (mop & vac - carpet / hard floor) & it gives me perfect floors. Needs the occasional hairball detangle & rare maintenance item now & then, but it's easily one of my better investments. It will occasionally attempt to eat some stray things (clothing / small cords), but it's just a reminder to pick up before his cleaning day.

Another vote for Roborock S7/S8. I can't believe how great it is thus far. Just dump the dirty water tank / fill the clean water tank & that's it! (& change vacuum bag periodically - wish they went bagless here)

Not a single new Roborock until they fix their new brushing system, the cleaning quality have dropped alot since S6/7. Atm dream Ultra seems to be the best choice if you got the money.

Look into a roborock s7 max ultra or the s8. Make sure you get a plumbing kit and plumb it in with your washing machine lines or something similar. Program it to run each night in areas that won't bother sleeping people and during the day in areas it won't annoy work from home/summer kids. Having your entire home vacuumed and mopped every day basically eliminates dust in your home. Your air conditioner filters will last noticeably longer, and you will hardly see dust accumulate in the usual spots. I've also noticed I don't have to use Pesticide inside as any food source is removed from scavenger bugs, and with the absence of scavengers comes an absence of predator bugs. As one of the few people I know that have gone down this route, I notice my floors are much cleaner than any of my friends. I don't own a mop or an indoor Broom. They can also be tied in with home assistant if you want to tinker that way.

We've been running two roborock s4s since late covid. They worked so well. I picked up a s7 to add mopping. The difference in our house was stunning. Highest recommendation

You want a vac that auto empties. I use a Roborock S7. I haven't used another brand so it's not a comparison. Look up YouTube vacuum wars channel

Roborock S7 Max V or the S8 Max V. I had the S7 and it was great but broke 18 months later and they couldn’t repair it. Bought a Dreame X30 Ultra as there was no release date for the S8 yet and I was tired of manually cleaning. There is a nice HACS integration for Roborock. Dreame has one also but you have to switch apps and I rather not.

Also had the X2, wow! I have never been more disappointed and frustrated with mapping. That was absolutely terrible. Coming from an S7 Uktra to that was bad. Returned it a week later and waited for the Dreame X30. Mapping was right there with Roborock. We have 2 labs and a blue nose and 2 human females. I get the hair issue. IDK if Roborock has an option but I grabbed the anti-tangle brush for the Dreame and have not had to clean it one in the past two months. Does a great job cutting the hair and putting it in the bag.

I'm biased but I'd say anything Roborock with a full service dock (auto emptying plus mop washing). I had the S7 without dock for a year and barely ever mopped because it would involve me manually mounting the pad and removing it after it's finished (don't want to let a dirty and damp mop sit near my hardwood floor). So the USP for me really was mop washing. Had the S8 Pro Ultra for half a year now and it runs daily (mops twice a week). It really feels hands-off now!

Roborock S7 probably qualifies. I’ve had one for ≈two years. No issues.

same although mine is an s7. My wife absolutely loves the thing. It does a stellar job cleaning our hardwood floors. She used to literally mop our dark hardwood floors regularly and has completely stopped.

Roborock has a good implementation into HA which I've used the past year. Maybe the Q Revo will be something for you? Or a top model like the Sxx versions. I just switched to the eufy x10 pro omni and I'm bummed that there are no working solutions for HA for this model yet :(. I have to use another app like a noob.

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’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.
