Roborock - S7 Pro Ultra

"Be able to go over bath mats/water absorbent mats well. When my robot goes over it, it constantly lifts the edge up and makes it look like it’s trying to hump the bottom side of the carpet. This doesn’t happen if I meticulously use the remote control function."

"the robot has no obstacle avoidance ... In terms of obstacles, that‘s pretty much the main reason why I added the 10R to my other floor where my cat and his toys are, it has great obstacle avoidance."

"The Saros also managed to get itself stuck under one of our sofas and got scratched in the process (the back of the sofa has a higher opening, it tried to exit through the sides which are lower than 8 cm)."

"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."

"We have dogs that shed a lot. It just got to the point where I was doing more babysitting of the vacuum than actual vacuuming."

"The S1 pro is a nightmare for maintenance"

"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."

"A side effect, which I also didn’t mention, is that „scraps of dust“ are often lost during vacuuming and cleanliness suffers as a result."

"my S7 has been having trouble picking stuff up even after swapping the filters and brushes"

"they all started having mopping issues after 8-9 months"

"What I don't like is the mechanism in the dock to wash the mops. It is complicated and requires too much maintenance. Without good, frequent maintenance, the S8's mop cleaning mechanism will fill up with mud, hair and debris and can clog. The same is true for the mechanism for washing the mops in the S7's dock."

"The S7 doesn't mop that great... it's just dragging a wet rag."

"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."

"they all started having mopping issues after 8-9 months"

"Roborock S7. it arrived with a defective vibrarise, that roborock said that I had to chip it to china to be replaced. It would be very expensive and at the time, I fixed the vibrarise by myself. ... No. I ordered it from a local store. At arrival, I noticed the problem and they claimed to be just resellers, because roborock isn't sold officially in Brazil. Then, they mailed me the purchase certificate that had the data required to ask for roborock warranty. I contacted them and they asked for proof of the defect. No problem, I filmed it, uploaded it and shared it with them. No one watched the video (I checked the stats) and yet, they accepted the bot as defective. They then said that would repair it for free, but I had to ship it to mainland China at my own expense. The guy said that the return would be paid by them. The catch: I had to ship it as I received it. The whole box, with everything inside and not just the bot. I'm glad that I didn't purchase the version with the self emptying dock (I purchased it as an extra, not in the same box). With that, I gave up on warranty. I tracked the defective part and the cost would be 1/10 of the value required to chip the bot. I'm skilled enough to replace it and saw their offer as laughable, because those guys said that it was a defect impossible to fix at home (it's difficult, but I did it anyway)."
