The roborock seems like the pick for me. If I'm too lazy to vacuum, I'm too lazy to remove a mop all the time
Pick the l10s ultra it's a lot better than both of thease
@@somedayprin3384 Have you used the L10s? We're going to review it soon :)
@@somedayprin3384 no it’s not a lot better. It has inferior navigation, object avoidance, software, and has reduced video options. That being said, it’s worth considering due to it being $200 cheaper.
@@RobomateTV yes It just arrived 2 day ago and I was more than impressed
@@somedayprin3384 interesting to hear. How did it affect the robot? I thought the robot would be the same, just a few feature differences
Thank you for a quality content: presentation, real world tests, comparisons - just top notch 👍
After a lot of deliberation and great advice from robomate, I chose the roborock because of the mop lifting function. I love that it gets the job done with me only needing to clean and empty once a week. Really happy with my choice!
Awesome comparison, really great to know the benefits and disadvantages. Thank you.
Really good video, not bias towards one or the other. Just really showing the pros and cons. Thanks
I came to your channel for the first time due to giveaway points but was really impressed by the technical depth of the review - something we don't see nowadays. My least favorite chore is still to 'fold clothes' :(
I'd love to have either of these machines, although I think my preference would be the Ecovacs X1 Omni. It's a hard choice, they both seem so good.
I didn't mention Yiko, Ecovacs' in-built voice assistant in this video... mostly because I'm sharing my own personal experiences and opinions with the robots and I almost never use it personally. Some people will love this feature but I prefer the app and scheduling.
I loved the voice commands of both the models of Ecovcas. However if the mapping is not correct (which it kept getting messed-up because of my highly reflective home) it would be confused where the rooms were and couldn't operate on voice commands anymore.
I am looking forward to getting one of these in the future! This could be a game changer.
This looks amazing, great video! very detailed 👍
These look great. Very informative video. Not sure which one I would pick. Both are amazing.
From the giveaway! My flat absolutely needs this robomate!
I need one of these! Got a surgery next week that will have a 6-8 week recovery time. This would be a lifesaver 🙌
Would absolutely love one of these
X1 Omni has the best mopping mechanism , it is the mopping pad not getting water enough to remove the stains....If you test again with third party (white) mopping pad, it allows water absorbing much better than the OEM mopping pad and see the mopping would improve a lot !!
Yep I agreed that it is weird that everyone thought the rotating mopping could have performed better - YEP it should but it could not because of the OEM mopping pad issue!
Love your reviews guys; so thorough! Well done. Looking forward to seeing what you think about the Dreame L10s Ultra when it eventually makes it to NZ 😊
Rumour has it that it'll be reaching our Shores soon... 🙂 Thanks for the support Kerryn!
I think a very simple improvement to the X1 mopping would be to spring load the pads. Then they would always apply the designed pressure even when the mops flatten a bit. Really wouldn't take much engineering and I reckon it would make a big difference.
I agree completely. It’s very close so a small change would make the difference
Anything this company recommends I would be happy to buy! Love these comparable reviews 👌

With a mix of hard floors and carpet I'd have to go with the roborock S7 maxV Ultra. Although I do like the other one for its looks, the functionality of the roborock would be be suited to our house.
This looks awesome and it would be great for elderly people which in turn would help them to stay in their own home longer.
Very informative! Keep it up :)
I love how far tech has come. Leading the way !!!

Forget the vacuum, I wanna live in that house! :) (Just got the S7 vMax for black Friday to add to the S4 we've been using for the last few years). Cheers and thanks for the review!
Awesome! How is the S4 compared now? Still not bad, right?
@@RobomateTV I haven't gotten the S7 yet. I'll post another reply when I get to play with it. The S4 works well for us. Honestly I have no complaints...the thing does a thankless job for me, how can I be mad? Lol
Here to try and win a competition! After your suggestions, we purchased a j7 (vac only) so winning a mop would be amazing!!! And ofcourse im already a subscriber 😊
I so need one of these! ❤❤
My house would LOVE this!!!
They both look awesome and be so lovely to have one especially with my back pain 🙂

Elite home cleaning technology.😎 I personally find the Ecovacs Omni more aesthetically pleasing. Also the feature of built-in mop-drying tech is 👌👌👌.
Great video thanks!
The mopping effect is quite different in the video. Roborock wins a lot. I may consider buying Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra in Black Friday, as there is promotion.
Surprising how different!
The whole idea for me with the robot vacs is set and forget, so the ability for the maxV to riase the mop and do the house in one pass is a huge upgrade and reason to go for it over the Omni (currently running the Ecovacs T9+)
The maxv only lifts is 5mm, which is pretty gimmicky.
So, do the pads on the omni have to be removed before it vacuums? Kind of defeats the purpose of having an all-in-one.
@@WilliamMorfin I know I'm late but no, it mops and vacuums at once. But if there is a carpet you need to remove the mopping attachment. The robot can see the carpets. So, when mopping the floor it won't go over the carpet.
@@Deedz_Indeed
Thanks for the reply. I ended up waiting for the Roborock S8 Ultra pro. So far, I’m very pleased with it’s performance.
@@WilliamMorfin No problem, happy to help. Congrats on the new vac. Hope it serves you well.
I was also thinking the same but, where I live Roborocks product are absurdly priced. For example, the S8 Ultra Pro is around 2200usd while the X1 Omni is around 900usd. It's such an absurd difference the Xi Omni seems like a steal.
Thanks for the comparison! I was surprised to see you could access the Roborock video stream from the app; where is this function?
"Appliance" vs. "Tech gadget" aren't the descriptions I'd use, though I agree with your assessment. I would say "Minimalist" vs. "Utilitarian" describe the industrial designs as they are.
That probably depends on the subtle cultural implications - here “gadget” has a mildly negative connotation
One of these would definitely be welcome here!
I want and need this in my life!
Ive had s7maxv for about 3 months now and the only negative thing i have to say about it is the obstacle avoidance. Yes i understand that theyre constantly getting better but their ability as of now is very minimal. Especially with wires you just cant trust it at all which means you end up putting no go zones where ever you have wires usually laying around.
Otherwise its absolutely fantastic machine. No doubt the best vacuum mop combo out there and i believe it will hold that place for quite awhile.
It really depends on the surface type and contrast with the items it’s trying to detect. But you’re right, it’s still not perfect.
My biggest issue is getting hair/ lint out of our low pile rugs/carpet. Switching to a brushless rubber rotor seems to be the reason.
@@RobomateTV If i just bought a S7 MaxV , theres big reasons to upgrade to this one? Im still on the return period. I dont know what to do.
Omg this would take so much stress out of my life right now! With two dogs, a baby, a 10 year old and a husband - one less chore would be greatly appreciated 😅 I think the Omni would be the one for me for the pet hair and the mop drying 😂
I actually really like the look of the roborock! It seems really user friendly too!
I definitely want one or both!
Just ordered a roborock s7max on their thanksgiving sale. s7 max looks smarter than x1, and I like the feature of lifting the mop.
Did it arrive yet? Let us know your thoughts if you remember :)
I ordered one as well. Should get here in a couple more days
I missed the thanksgiving sale 😭😭 how much it when you bought it on sale??
@@tealifewithgiftedteju6794 It was $1060 (US).
@@dwm7002 hi, do you have the link?
Love how it can empty itself and mop floors 🙌
I'm here for the NZ competition. My 5yr old son asked for a robot vacuum cleaner and an ad popped up on my feed which led me here. Commenting to win the giveaway for him. The algorithm must have heard him 😅
I need this in my life!
hey mate , for the x 1 - what if it had already learnt the map .... but then i wanted to change the base station to another part of the house ? (where the map is also learnt). Do i have to do the entire set up again ? or would it just know the new base station's location automatically? thanks!
You just set the room clean order with the Omni so it does the carpeted room first with the mop barrier in place and then you don’t have to take the mop pads off. I’ve just got one and it didn’t take me that long to figure it out. I’ve had a iroomba mop for a long time with the vibrating pads and it just smears the ever dirtier pad across your floors.
I want one of these SO badly! My shoulder has never come quite right after an injury and I detest vacuuming now because of the pain!
Our house is mostly laminate and the S7 Ultra works amazingly. I am still glad I bought it. Makes life a lot easier knowing that the floors are clean. My only issue is with our rag dolls hair. It tends to not lift a lot of the fur clumps on carpet. Its ok, but not amazing. We didn't really buy it for the carpet cleaning function anyway.
Yep, that’s what I’ve found in general. Awesome for everything except pet hair. Thanks for sharing mate!
I'm curious if your laminate and house is shiny and reflective? The is where the Ecovacs mapping feature had challenges. I wonder if all this technology has the same problems in highly reflective areas and rooms with sliding glass doors. Thanks for your input!
What is the approach if you have two floors? can you configure the device to have two different maps? Is moving the base to the other floor good enough?
How do they work on non perfectly smooth surfaces? Like tile floors? Are the mops ok on these types of surfaces or skip it?
So satisfying 😌 😍
Very Good video .. Thank You !!
No problem!! Thanks for the comment
I think the Omi looks better. I used to have a Roomba, I didn't like it as it kept getting snagged on the fringes of rugs. How do these models go with that issue?
Avoid buying Deebot/Ecovacs products in Australia. Their Victorian service centre had my Deebot 9 in for warrantee repairs twice for the same fault. They can't repair it and Ecovacs have refused to replace it or give a refund. Don't let this happen to you. Choose another brand.
Wow, amazing!
Thank you for creating this video and sharing your experience with both vacuums. Does the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra leave residue or wetness from the pad onto the rug?
It normally is pretty good. On thick carpets there may be a little bit. There also may be a little bit when it first raises then mop as it transitions. It hasn’t left marks on my white carpets though so seems pretty good. Hope this helps!!
Need this! So over vacuuming 1000x a day
I have an Ecovacs T8 AIVI at the moment and it’s great, I am a happy Ecovacs customer but for my next upgrade the Roborock is in the lead for me. Just like your camera man the liftable mopping pad on the s7 Ultra is the killer feature for my mostly carpeted house. The one thing that worries me a bit though is your mention early in the video that only the Ecovacs has mop drying as standard whereas for the Roborock it is a difficult to get hold of add-on so smells can be a problem. What is this Roborock add-on? Does the base come in two versions, one with the mop drying capability and the other without, or is the base in some way modular and there is some slot where you can snap in an optional drying module? I didn’t really understand what was being talked about there.
There is a slot for the dryer module on the Roborock, but built in on the Ecovacs. Not always a huge deal - depends on your home really
I have the Ecovac T8 but will move to Roborock next time. The Ecovac app ruins the experience as you have to rescan your whole house every few weeks.
I wonder how the Dreamebot L10s Ultra would fair up. Hopefully will beat both since I just ordered one, lol. Thanks for the review.
We’ll see soon enough I guess! Hope you love your new robot!
Thanks for the review! A question for you :) Are you aware of any similar model, with this kind of features, with an input of 220V? My plan is to buy one of these in the US, but I need it to support 220 voltage. I already checked with CS, and the Roborock does not allow 220 while the X1 does. My only concern is about the auto-lift for the mops since I have a carpet... I still think it may not work anyways with the Roborock since the carpet is long hair.. but ... If you are aware of any other model would be awesome. Thanks!!
My version is on 230V so that would work. As far as I’m aware, if you can buy a European, Asian or Oceanian version of it then it should work with an adapter or new cable.
I have a indoor poolhouse with a full size swimming pool with water inside of it all year round. Can I use it to wash and vacuum the poolhouse floors without falling into the swimming pool if I buy it?
The mop function on the roborock is cool
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I was wondering if the Ecovacs X1 Omni always starts out with dry mop pads when vacuuming?I have hard wood floors with lots of rugs. I want to be able to have the rugs and floors vacuumed and when the mopping cycle starts I would have the rugs sectioned off on the map so only the hard wood floors get mopped. Is this possible? Does the mop attachment stay on throughout vacuuming? Therefore taking the mop attachment off wouldn’t be necessary?? Just a bit confused as to why the mop pads need to be taken off, I would be grateful if someone could answer this 🤗
They are washed before cleaning normally, therefore they’ll wet the carpet so the default setting is to avoid the carpet when the pads are attached. You could turn this off but you won’t want to. Dreame or Roborock have options that lift the mop up on carpet. :)
Hello. Question to Ecovacs X1 Omni owners. How long does it take for the vacuum cleaner to charge from 0-5% to 100%
The roborock looks like a hot beverage dispenser to me with those canisters sitting exposed like that.
Just a note. A stain does not necessarily mean it’s still dirty. The stain is colour not dirt. Technically, clothes dye is a stain. (Just a really neat one 😝)
Which one is your personal favorite? I have medium pile carpets in bedrooms and a lot of ceramic tile?
The mop raising feature is tough to pass on for convenience - performance-wise I think the video should help :)
I'm trying to find out if WIFI can be disabled in any of these models ?
I turn on WIFI very infrequently and don't want to have it on all the time ( sensitive to radiation )
We have a fake wood floor, like a laminate.....it swells if water gets between the planks. So I'm concerned about the amount of water that the mops put down. What's worse is there is a bevel gap feature between planks, so the mop action may result in water collecting between the planks. Would this be an issue with either of these?
I think it’s a bit risky if it’s super sensitive to leaks etc. they normally don’t disperse very much water compared with mopping by hand, but you can see that in the video so your guess is probably as good as mine!
You said the X1 is a little quieter. We currently have the r**mba i7+, and on our hardwoods, it is very loud. Could you say in general, if one of these is quieter than that one?
SO.NEED.THIS
I have a house with 3 different levels. If I'm prepared to physically move it between levels, will the robot and app manage on the different levels?
Thanks
Hi. House is all hardwood floors with areas rugs, but not a big house. We have 2 dogs and love the vacuum/mop abilities of both (and possibly even the Dreame or S8). Can you program them to vacuum only, as we want to vacuum daily but only mop once a month? I'd prefer to not have to remove the mop pads and just set it in its program. I'm also happy to wait for the S8 if it's worth it. Thanks :)
For S7 max, yes.
You can programme to mop only on select days and full cleaning (vacuum, mop) on select days
@@lamminhthu88 Thanks, but can I program to vacuum and only mop once a week without removing the pads?
@@susancorbin43 yes, you can!
That was an odd comment by that other reviewer in your video, referring to not using the mopping feature on the Omni. My house has a mixture of carpet and tile floors and the robot is smart enough to vacuum everything when the map mopping pads are not installed and when they are installed, it only mops the tile.
That’s actually our camera man! :) yes, just he has multiple small areas of hard floors with the majority of carpet, so he didn’t think it would be worth carrying the robot around between areas.
Is it possible to increase the number of times you clean the mop every time you come home to clean yourself?
Thank you! I am looking for a dupe of the s7. Too expensive. Need it to vacuum and mop
Consider the Dreame D10 or Z10 in that case
Awesome 👌 👏 👍
Which would be best for dog hair (two golden retrievers) and sand? We have 99% hardwood floors with one formal carpeted lounge.
Also can you turn the moping feature off, so the robot just vacuums?
They should both be fine in hard floors with pet hair, it’s much tougher on carpets for obvious reasons.
Yes on both, however easier on the MaxV Ultra.
Samsung powerbot i have one they are amazing
Awesome machine
HI I noted the comment that the single brush of S7 makes no difference in the vacuuming performance vs X1 double brush. I would have thought double brush would have higher cleaning efficiency at a given vacuum swipe?
That’s just the side brush which sweeps things into the path of the main brush and suction. The robot always aligns with the right side and cleans anti-clockwise so it makes no real difference :)
I have two Deebots at home (T9 is the 'newest'), both of which have the occilating mop. Apart from the asthetic advantage of the Omni, the new mop and dryer is the clear winner in this comparison. I have no doubt both robots are equally smart and effective in the vacuuming function, so it really comes down the the mopping and tank size convenience for me. We will continue using Deebots, but the approx. AU$2.5K I saw quoted for the Omni has placed it well out of our reach.
The last comment by the camera guy convinced me 🎉
Ohhh I really want one! 😩
I have used both and very satisfied with Roborock
Thoughts on the X1 too?
@@RobomateTV keeps loosing wifi connection (getting Confused) lots of re mapping… mop stops working after 2 months …
what about the Dreame L10s Ultra ? It can do everything these two models do, plus automatic cleaner adding and dry the mops.
It’s very similar, you’re right, but this comparison is of two robots that I’ve had for a long time :) by the time we do a comparison of the Dreame L10S Ultra it’ll probably be with the S8 Pro Ultra. Hope the video helped already at least!
The omni way take more time to saturate the pads. Thar’s why it may be bad. Settings are also important as the omni can change the water consumption.
It washed the pads before starting, but it may be a factor too. It was set on high water flow.
can I take the vacuum upstairs without the station to clean upstairs by adding an extra map for the 1st floor? My huge concern is that it is expensive, buying two, one for the ground floor and one for the 1st floor is a significant investment.
Yes, definitely can. :)
It's probably better to run one at a time. Possibly messing up its navigation with another thing moving around the room at the same time. I have the omni t8, was thinking about upgrading, but I don't know if price per performance is worth it. I do like the option the s7 mop raises up. But they really disservice this vac by making it base station very ugly. It looks like a storage station for dog food. Other than that the s7 is impressive but I can't do the base station looks.
The s8 fixed this. My condolences to your wallet
🤞🤞 would love to win this would be such a help for our family. Such a juggle and I hate having dirty floors but have had to accept it more often than not
Show the Robo rock doing the heavy cleanup test and also have white or whitish carpet as part of your cleaning. Does the wet mop pad drag across and potentially stain or leave residue (grape juice or red wine etc) on the white carpet? It would be great if you can create a cleaning path for the hardwood then have it dock and self clean its pad before immediately going to the carpet. I have lighter(almost white) large area rugs in the bedrooms with hardwood etc.
if you have low tile carpet, it wouldn’t be a problem - the robot would lift the mop.
It might still hit the carpet. It really depends on how think your carpet is, basically, if it isn't thin carpet (4mm) the wet mop pad will drag on it.
Also, you could set cleaning areas with 2 consecutive cleaning schedules- mop first, then it would return to the dock and clean. And maybe ~30 minutes later (depending on the size of your house) set it to run a vacuum pass. Or, you could offset them by a few hours to give the pad a chance to dry.
Got 2 X1 Omni’s. One for myself and one for my parents, both around the same time stopped pumping water into the base for the mop water! Seems like it could be a possible flaw in their pumps! Their warranty process is a pain. I can’t say I’d recommend them at all! Expensive for a pump to last only a few months! They need to improve it!
wow, I haven't heard that before so it sounds really unlucky. Out of curiosity, were you using any cleaning fluids in it?
Just some cleaning vinegar.
@@sheldonandres I have seen that cause issues, so don’t tell customer service 🤫 the vinegar can break down the adhesives and cause the issues you’ve found. Hopefully they sort it for you without any issues!
@@RobomateTV okay, good to know! Thank you very much! Won’t be using it again then!
@@RobomateTV would be nice if they put some big label like that somewhere mentioning that…
The x1 would probably do better with different mop pads the problem is they flatten when spinning only 1 direction by the look of the mop pads.
I don't get one thing...does omni have a water reservoir or only roborock has?
I understand that roborock keeps the pads humid for as long as it has water in the reservoir but what about omni?
Both of them do :)
I have seen other brand emptying dust directly into a waste water bin. You just need to dispose the dirty water without needing a dust bag which I think is much better.
My main concern about these are the cameras and voice activation (for the Deebot at least, not sure about the roborock). The fact that it's hooked up and available to view online means I would have to setup a separate wifi for it with no internet access.
The best is Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni
I’ve seen both of this robot vac in Asia for about half the price, is there a different between the version in Asia and the one we get over here ?
I’m not sure, but I’d be very careful buying a robot overseas without support and warranty
Love the mopping effect of S7 MaxV Ultra!! Sonic mopping wins😄
Interesting eh! Thanks for watching!
Hi mate! Fellow NZer here, ive been watching all your videos very informative, so thanks alot! Would love a video or recommendations on the best vac for pet hair. We have a Japanese Spitz with very fine long white hair, and we have black carpet also and not all vacs work on black capret if im correct? Would love your thoughts! Thanks!
Hey mate! No worries - thanks for the feedback! Whereabouts are you based? We have a place in Newmarket where you can see the robots in action if you want.
Is your carpet fully black or very dark grey? Most robots are pretty good on dark greys but occasionally still struggle on blacks. Do you have any stairs in your place?
@@RobomateTV based in Hamilton :) it isnt fully black but very dark colour. No stairs but we have multiple transitions from polished concrete to carpet and its quite a bump 😅
@@davidvantwout is it mostly carpet or hard-floors? I don't know for sure specifically for a Japanese Spitz, but it doesn't look like the fine hairs would be that tough to vacuum?
@@RobomateTV mostly carpet, kitchen and bathrooms are polished concrete. Japanese spitz have fine silk like hair thats long, and tricky to remove from carpet, our dyson v11 works pretty good, but sick of vacuuming 2x a day 😆

I've currently got an ecovac neo. And the app is terrible.
