This guy must have the most clean floors on UA-cam lol
Doubt it. He doesn't take off shoes when entering house.
there is such a thing as over cleaning. every time you vacuum your carpet, fibers get loose. you lose carpet material and your carpet degrades
This review is BS! I just bought one after watching this. The S7 MaxV Ultra does NOT pick up nearly ANYTHING on my Berber carpet. I does NOT PICK UP cat fur, it does NOT pick up paper from a cross shredder, does not pick up nearly anything from a carpet. If this was an honest review he would have told us. It ONLY works well on Hardwood or Linoleum floors. Basically this does everything great but Vacuum which is the purpose right? I will be doing a V1d3o soon to so show how this unit DOES NOT VACUUM!
@@Sky1 Is your vacuum defective? or is it not configured correctly? e.g. running on low power? The guy is thorough with his reviews
@@Sky1 Film your vacuum in action, and send it to Vacuum Wars. Maybe there's a flaw with the method he uses
First time viewer of this channel and you set a new standard for how a review channel should be. Great work!
Much appreciated and welcome!
I always come to this channel for the best and most thorough vacuum reviews. My friends even comment on the rigs you build for testing. Great job, we appreciate your hard work.
You're awesome thank you for avoiding the novelty drone mundane quirky conversations that other channels engage in and just getting straight to the point of analyzing performance.
It really aids in decision making
Much appreciated 😊👍
Why thank you very much!
I think the S7 MaxV Ultra is Sooo close to perfect. It's an incredible robot. I just wish the pad raised higher for higher pile carpets, as well as a dock heater/fan for the pad to dry out. Just my two cents. Besides that, it's such a fantastic cleaning machine, and their app is just so good, fast and responsive.
They have planned releasing heat dry kit in china market in late june. Not sure about the NA market
I'm releasing a new video today at 4pm EST , "The BEST Robot Vacuum With Obstacle Avoidance A.I." that you might enjoy.
@@jamesvx5038 G10S has also a kit to connect with fresh water and waste water supply! yay!
@@RoboVacParty G10S is a Digital Wireless Guitar System when you search with just that info - maybe you want to be more precise in your description.
Been using it for past one month and Loving it compare to my old S7. The AI really very intelligent for S7 maxV as it will vacuum halfway and go back to dock and clean the mop cloth and do its job again.
i’ve been waiting for your review of this
I'm glad it's done! Thank you!
Thank you for your reviews, they are very informative! Please consider adding hair vacuuming tests on carpeting and hard floors and possibly comparing Normal vs Max vacuum settings to see if it makes a difference on hair. Various comments from different videos / reviews seem to point to the older style bristle brushes having an advantage over the newer style rubber beaters for vacuuming up hair. Standardized testing like you perform could shed light on the subject.
😮😢
Wait... What happened to all the comparative test scores or mentions of its actual competitors in the space? Its seems good, but I'm confused that it was compared only to the S7 in this video, instead of its actual competition. I feel like we usually see it in Vacuum Wars videos so this review seems really lacking without it.
I would recommend a test against animal fur and human hair, I really worry about the mop picking up the hair missed by vacuum and cog the brush cleaner to the pad.
I have one of the original roborocks and it's still going strong in my house several years later. I've replaced a couple parts, but that's it. We almost never have to use the upright vacuum
My S5 works well enough that I only need a cordless stick vacuum occasionally for a couple no-go spots I set up. My old corded one has sat unused in the closet for a year now.
Might hold off on buying a Robot Vacuum until the Black Friday/Cyber Monday price comes out for the S7 MaxV ULTRA. This things impressive!
Maybe I missed it but how does the brush do with pet hair and how well does the base suck out the robots holding area when it’s full of hair?
We really like ours. I did have to tape over the cliff sensors though. Couple area rugs are black/white and was freaking it out. Single story house, so not an issue.
Is there a place where you list comparative score data for things like pickup tests? For example, I’d like to know how much better the s7MaxV is on carpet vs my normal s7, at the detail level you provide in your test beyond pa suction power.
Wanna know as well
Any chance we can get a comparison video between this and the ECOVACS Omni X1?
I'm releasing a new video today at 4pm EST , "The BEST Robot Vacuum With Obstacle Avoidance A.I." that you might enjoy.
wait n wait, finally I got the S7 MaxV ultra. It works sooooo great, I do not have to wash the mop/empty the dust bin; it just does everything by its own. The camera function even make it more competitive, two-way audios, AI, pet details etc. Satisfied my needs perfectly.
I couldn't agree more, the S7 Max V is excellent. I bought mine with just the charge base, I might get the ultra dock once it's available but even without that, this bot is excellent. For me, emptying the bin is not a big deal. It would be really interesting to compare the suction power on this bot with the Roomba S9, I bet they're pretty close but Roborock's battery life is much better. I agree with one of the comments that Irobot is falling behind, I have the J7 plus, it's ok, it cleans decent but it doesn't have nearly as much power and Roborock's navigation blows Roomba's camera system away, there is just no comparison. There are a lot of reviews comparing the Roborock S7 Max V with the Ecovacs X1, with the X1, there is apparently an issue with the mop plates and Ecovacs is offering replacements to address that. I wish the X1 was available with just a charge dock, even the cheapest X1 is around $1100 which is quite expensive. Anyway, great review, I think the S7 Max V is one of the best vacuum robots available, it's vacuum performance is excellent, navigation is great and the mop performance is also really good.
Hi, I have a question, they don't sell the Ultra or Plus dock in my country and it won't come here, only the base S7 MaxV is available here with the standart charging dock. Some people say that this robot is actually designed for the Ultra dock, and the dust bin size is small. So is the dust bin really THAT small if i'm not gonna use the Ultra dock ? I can empty it myself every day or every 2 days, but if it's as small as like it can't do the full house, that would be bad. What do you think since you have the base version right now ?
@@My.MusicChannel I have not had any issues with the bin getting too full and I clean my entire place every time, the only issue I have had is that the opening for emptying the bin is small so you may have to put your hand in and remove anything that doesn't fall out when you dump the bin, that's usually not a lot though. Even with just the standard charging base, it's one of the best, if not the best robot vacuums available now.
I am buying it without the self empty! Cost 1399$ and just by itself is on sale for 629$ on Black Friday. I bought it online now. Hopefully it doesn’t get full very fast! I have a large square footage house though.
You are the god of vacuum reviews.
Love it keep them coming!
Thank you so much for this review.. Been waiting for you to do this review for a while now..
How has Roomba fallen so far behind? I have the Braava Jet and its navigation system is like a blind man with a cane. It bumps into everything and watching it dock it can take 5 to 10 minutes just to do that.
It's really kind of sad, they should have gone Lidar ages ago. They still have a great pickup system with the dual rollers but have fallen behind everywhere else.
They say its for "low pile carpets no higher than 4mm"
Engineers running the company, their hardware is great but the software is dumb as bricks.
My m6 does the job of mopping my dogs slobber so I don’t have to; it’s just needs to run
The Bravajet is a joke. To say iRobot has fallen behind is a huge understatement.
Just saying, I only consider vacuum cleaners off your reviews. You good sir are by far the best reviewer. I love the in-depth tests you perform, honest opinions and quality review videos you produce. Amazing.
I've never considered a robo vac before... Until I saw this review and your extensive testing. I am impressed!!!
This is the first robot I bought before I watched your review... sorry I couldn't wait 😬
This thing is truly amazing, I feel like a Roborock salesman when I talk to family, co-workers, and friends
In the exact same boat. Been watching for years but knew this was going to be the one and couldn’t wait.
Me too haha
Should arrive this monday, can't wait!
I am glad you are so happy with it!!
Seems pretty revolutionary as a mixed environment (rugs/carpet/hardfloor) system. Provided it only gets better with time as regards the AI navigation, and as you mention, the base has good longevity, it seems like a solid purchase!
Well said!
Wait til you can hook this up to a water line, a drainage line, and auto garbage disposal. Then it'll really become a dream machine.
I got the S7 with the base when it came out, it’s been so good we can’t believe it! Can’t imagine it being better…I wish I could trade up somehow.
Here’s a crazy idea, I think if anyone could pull off Roborock could. Combine a dishwasher with a vac base. A door on the floor of the dishwasher opens up and the vac drives inside like Michael Knight, all water and debris is cleaned from the vac, it’s refilled, charged and ready to go again. You’d never have to service anything.
That must be the best idea in the world! Please contact them and collect your credits!
...and all the dishes will smell like your floors!
So you want all the dirt, hair and debris into the sewers?
I cannot stress enough that I am so engrossed and hang on every word of your review of a . . . Vacuum?? You could review straws and make it entertaining and informative.
you are great!
Well thank you very much!
As for their app, the “pin-n-go” feature needs to be moved to the main map. Right now it’s too many taps to exit the map, use the feature then return to the map. It should be, just touch and hold to select a spot, then a menu from there with “spot clean” or “go there”.
Absolutely! It would be sooo easy to just long tip on the map and then have the choice "go" or "spot clean".
thank you so much for your gorgeous videos!!!
Dreame W10 Bot would be a nice model to review and potentially compare this Roborock to. As a longtime Roborock user, thinking on getting either this model or one with rotating pads.
I'm releasing a new video today at 4pm EST , "The BEST Robot Vacuum With Obstacle Avoidance A.I." that you might enjoy.
I absolutely love the slide with all app screens, it is super useful. Thank you for the review!
Thank you!
I know we don’t have flying cars but this is a pretty awesome sign of the future. The amount of tech embedded in this device is incredible and it doesn’t seem to blow people’s minds! It does mine!
it really is. LIDAR, 3D AI technology, Selfcleaning ability, 3 hours battery and huge suction power! Future is here. This is more advanced than most cars before 2010.
They just had to figure out how to make money after the sell. All that data about your house goes somewhere...
@@kaponkotrok what do they want to know about the 3d map of my house lol...
Hi Vacuum Wars! Thanks for the great vids! Would you please advise on the best cleaning liquids to use on a robot vacuum?
4:40 is why I subscribed to this channel years ago. Those insights are something only experienced people can have.
Thank you!
Hey are you able to determine power requirements when cross reference the amounts of wattage across cleaning ability with which is more efficient on energy costs?
Would be interesting if it’s just more economic to run these everyday or multiple times a day versus other time frequencies
Your review is so impressive! I have been waiting for the G10 for long long time but nowhere to buy it🙃Do you have any idea when the dock of Ultra will be available for purchase? I cannot wait to get a auto washing dock!
I bought it. I have some things to say about it. First, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this channel. It has helped me with countless buying decisions. I trust the reviews completely. That being said, something is clear to me after buying this vacuum. When you test hundreds of vacuums, even with objective criteria, the overall tone of the review is inevitably affected by how the vacuum performs relative to other vacuums. But when a vacuum costs $1,000-$1,300, a consumer wants to know, in the absolute sense, if the thing is worth it. Is it impressive enough (regardless of other vacuums) to drop the cash? Is the hope of a low-maintenance, clean floor realized? I do not doubt that this is the best robot vacuum on the market. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's worth the cheddar. The next paragraphs are going to sound a bit negative, but know that in the end, I'm keeping it.
SOFTWARE
Software should be better. Most of what I found wanting wasn't in the hardware, but the software. That's the good news because software can be updated. But at this price point, I was really surprised by the rudimentary mapping features. I know what apps and software can do. They can do much more. Edit: the vision of the bot is amazing and it is dead accurate for positioning...I'm disappointed in the software features attached to it.
It sees rooms that aren't there through sliding glass doors, in mirrors, etc. Well, that's just fine. It's a robot vacuum, not an android. The issue is that there's no way to delete this imaginary room in the mapping. Does this affect cleaning? No, not really. But it does mean that you have to spend a good deal of time adding imaginary walls and nudging them around through trial and error making sure it still cleans the edge of your actual room. Also, it would just feel nice to have the map be an accurate representation of my house rather than the wacky funhouse that shows up on my phone, which bears little resemblance to my actual space.
Sometimes, you forget to move something like a small ottoman and you realize it only as the vacuum is moving around it. Then you move it. Well, since it's going back and forth and can see later that the obstacle has been moved, it should know to go back and pick up the spot it missed. It won't do that.
It has the clearance to fit under the toe kick, but it sees it as an obstacle and won't clean beneath it. This is a bummer. It means I have to sweep where I shouldn't have to.
Obstacle avoidance isn't a substitute for babysitting it. I bought a dumb Rumba from Costco about 5 years ago. This thing had the intelligence of a ping pong ball and I ended up returning it. But I do remember if the brushes encountered ANY resistance, it stopped moving immediately. Well, this one didn't and it nearly destroyed all my floors. Yes, that's right. Thank the Good Lord I was paying attention and could hear that something was not right in time to stop it. I always pick up the house before using it. But sometimes, you just don't see everything. You know those alligator clips? Well, the silver metal arms are detachable and of one of them was on the floor. It picked it up; it got wedged; it started dragging it (pointy end down) and deeply scratching the hardwood floor. If left to its own devices, it would have made a scratch pattern across my entire house that would have looked just like the map! So, I DO NOT run it without supervision, which is very limiting.
The instructions recommend putting a board down to block the top of your stairs so the machine doesn't tumble down the stairs. What? Even Rumba Estupida was smart enough to not fall down the stairs. I suspect this is in the instructions for liability and it would be fine, I mean, I hope so. But then again, have they no confidence in the hardware cameras or their software? What about invisible walls? And what's the liability when someone trips over the board and breaks their neck falling down the stairs?
HARDWARE
Let's face it: that mop pad is itsy bitsy teeny weeny. It has to be by nature and that's not a miss by the manufacturer. But it means that I am cleaning it SOOOOO often. If you've got hardwood floors, I can really see how the fancy mop dock is necessary. I didn't buy it figuring I could buy it later if I wanted to. I don't know if the machine can detect a dirty pad and go back to the dock to clean the mop pad in the middle of the cleaning cycle, but it should because it's necessary. I doubt it has this capability and you could certainly program around it. But again, if you're dreaming of ultimate automation for $1,300, you're not going to get it. To be clear, it's not that my floors are that dirty, it's that the mop is that tiny.
Because I have mostly hardwood floors, I probably wouldn't bother with the vacuum-bag only dock -- except that I find emptying bagless vacuums an entirely disgusting enterprise. But I seem to be unique in this. If that bugs you and you've got a lot of carpet, I could see the vacuum-emptying dock being useful. But for me with the hardwood floors, the cannister only needs to be emptied every few days where the mop pad needs to be washed multiple times a day. So, it's go big or go home if I want to make this less hands on. I will not be saving any time/energy unless I get the mop-dock.
The mop-lift feature is a GREAT thing. But it ain't perfect. I don't have low-pile carpet, I have a NO-pile carpet. It's a Ruggable with the thicker pad (which really ain't that thick). Once it gets on carpet, there's no problem, it doesn't deposit any wetness. But in the process of climbing up onto the rug, it drags it's tiny dirty mop on the edge of the carpet. At first, I would just tell it to clean that room right after hand-cleaning the mop pad. In this way, at least it would drag a CLEAN mop on my white carpet. But the problem is that there is another room that is only accessible by going through that room and over the rug. So, once it mops the other room, it HAS to drag it's dirty mop over the edge of my rug. So, I've changed tactics. Now, I just uninstall that mop pad entirely and have it clean those two rooms together and the second room just doesn't get mopped ever. I still have to do it by hand. Then, I reinstall it and send it off to the rest of the house. This means hanging around and waiting for it to finish the first 2 rooms and then sending a separate command to do the rest. By the way, I stopped removing pad using the velcro. Now, I just pull out the whole mop deck and wash it still attached. The velcro is very strong and it was ripping the seams of my mop pad after just a few times. I did love the way they anchored the mop pad so that you could get it on perfectly without trying hard. That was a stroke of genius. But alas, it's no longer relevant to me since I don't remove it from the plastic deck anymore.
The mopping feature works decently, understanding the limitations of such a pad. The mop pad does seem to clean dried liquid messes fine. But I have hardwood floors in my kitchen. Sometimes, solid things stick to the floors and turn into dark-gummy-flattened-squished spot. You know what I'm talking about. It won't get those kinds of messes up. So, dried liquid mess is fine. Solid squished mess, no sir. I never had that expectation, so this is not a disappointment, just an FYI.
If the charging dock is on hardwood floors, taping it down is not optional. What happens is the vacuum attempts to mop over the clear plastic sheet attached to the dock and drags it around. It lands on top of an already mopped, wet area. So, rather than protecting your floors from moisture as it is supposed to, it is actually trapping moisture underneath. I've not yet taped mine down, but I am assuming this will fix the problem.
AM I KEEPING IT?
Yes. I am keeping it. My floors are way cleaner than they used to be. There's plenty of things about it that work really well, but I think that sort of thing was already covered in this video and so I'm not mentioning it. But I am actually putting more time in than I used to. How's that for irony? There's a lot of babysitting and prepping and mop pad changing and manual commands. But without the bot, that effort would not yield as clean of results. The machine cleans and vacuums well. With some software updates (and another $500 for the mopping dock...oi), this thing could be near perfection.
Wow, thank you for the detailed experience and outlining where this bot fell short for your needs. I'll be moving into a mostly hard-floored house but it has a few carpeted rooms and it's good to know that auto-lifting mop might have an issue (but at least there is a work around!).
@@atomicpeach27 I am not sure if carpet would be a problem like a rug. Since the rug is laying on top of the hardwood, it's more of a lopsided climb. Plus there's that rolled edge on a rug that you won't get with a carpet. Also, the transition piece that is installed between carpet and hardwood or tile will probably help. In my home, my carpet is not as different height-wise as the hard floors next to it. I only have carpet upstairs and I've never dragged it upstairs, but now you've got my curious like I want to test this.
this is an amazing review, thank you for taking the time to write it :)
Once the bin compartment gets full does the Robovac empty the bin at the dock and resume cleaning?
It'd be nice if you could indicate whether or not a vacuum works on black carpet. I bought the Dreame Tech L10 Pro and found that many robot vacuums have an issue with the fall avoidance sensors that limits them on dark carpets and it's never noted with the product.
How does this do on engineered hardwood floors? Can I mop and vacuum features on my type of floor? Also, does the mop get too wet for hardwood floors?
Hi, love your videos. I have Roborock S7 and I have carpets everywhere in my house (I can't change it). I have to keep the mop pad off all the time unless I want to mop the kitchen or bathroom because the mop pad behaves like Velcro and blocks the robot from properly driving on the carpet. Especially when turning. Have you experience this? I tried finding other types of the mop pad but it seems they all the same.
It's crazy what work you put into these video. Really amazing and thank you!
Thanks so much!
thanks for the great review, but what about dog hairs ?
do you know if it can handle it ?
Been a huge fan of roborocks, I have an s5 an s6max V and a H7 stick vac. More a fan of the robots than the stick vac but yeah, Roborock is ahead of the game and I am trying to justify buying a 7maxV ultra when its released in Australia. The robot is now out but no dock yet.
I just moved into an antique house with few outlets. I bought a little Dirt Devil, but it’s not very strong, so I think it’s better for stairs. I think a robot vacuum is kind of a necessity.
Thanks for the review. Would you please let me know what kind of filtration system at the dust bin? Bag/bagless?
Really appreciate this channel. Definitely want to get this when it's sold in Canada. My question is, is there a technique robot vacuums use for multi floor homes? I.e. carrying it upstairs and downstairs?
Thanks! Yeah - that is pretty much what people do.
LOVE this channel!
How is the Brava m6's mopping compared to this Roborock? Is there any advantage to having a dedicated moping robot?
I still use the M6 to shine, after the S9+ cleans it zones and the S7 Max V Ultra finishes its zones. Like the video said no one Vaccum is perfect, yet.
I'm amazed at the thoroughness of your reviews!
Thank you so much!
Oh wow. A mop function that you can leave on. Awesome. I have a mop function on my robovac, but I literally never use it since it just humps my rugs with the mop.
I'm posting the same comment I did on a different video on a more recent video so that there is a greater chance you'll see it:
I really love your content! Based of of your information I bought a shark duo clean. It is an absolutely amazing machine. However, after about a year of owning this machine I can smell air pollution when I turn it on.
It would be great if you did some longevity testing. Like, for example, maybe running each vacuum 100 hours outside and measuring how good the complete seals are. I think a lot of manufacturers don't have very good incentives to make sure that these seals last. I think you could have a very large impact in this space.
A lot of people also find the longevity of a machine very important when they purchase it so that would also appeal to them.
I have an older Rooma 960. I’ve never heard of Roborock, but this looks amazing! Might end up swapping over.
Your vacuum reviews are the 👌 best. Thank you for making such good reviews. I find your test to be very informative and thorough.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Been waiting a long time for this review. So glad the Ultra base lives up to the hype. Thank you for posting!
I'm releasing a new video today at 4pm EST , "The BEST Robot Vacuum With Obstacle Avoidance A.I." that you might enjoy.
I'm wondering if next year's model will have a bagless canister. If they've already added that from a previous model, how long will it take them to add it to this one?
Hi does the vac have separate clean and dirty water tanks as well? Otherwise wouldn't the mopping pad get very wet?
Do you know if the brush is moving during mopping only?
A few years ago, I was in Amazon Re:Invent AI convention and saw a iRobot booth showcasing their unreleased S9 cleaning robot. At the time I was using the first generation Roborock (still branded as Xiaomi) and was truly amazed. I asked the guy in the booth what they thought about the Xiaomi/Roborock cleaning robot. The guy said: “oh they are impressive but they are cheap and lower end and we don’t treat them as direct competition, we are targeting different market”. I hope their high-ups knew better, otherwise they gonna lose this vacuum war for sure.
Okay, if it's the future, how well does it handle my stairs, and opening/closing doors between rooms? Also how good is it at getting the edges and corners around the skirting? How does it move tables and chairs out of the way to hoover properly?
If I have to babysit it manually around and help it every step of the way, it'd be faster and easier and cheaper for me to just hoover up myself.
I think you should mention Sleep mode and the noise level of these robots. Since working from home, I’ve rarely used my Roomba due to the loud noise. The sleep mode of the Roborock now allows me to run it every night while I’m sleeping and it is a god send to our family.
what do you mean with sleep mode? i have 2 roborocks and none have that
@@xeon2k8 It doesn't announce when starting/stopping, and won't empty the dust bin/clean the mop.
@@barry99705 i know that but the mode doesnt change at all the noise it makes while vacuuming so the announcements are nothing compared to that noise. Emptying the dust bin yeah it's skipped so that's less noise to hear then.
Very impressive little machine!
How does this do on pet hair? I have a roomba S9 and it does really well with the double rubber brushes.
Frickin Thank you for being transparent with us... and 6:00 this question is also biggest factor when im gonna buy an expensive vaccuum+mop robot... Coz this suckers ain't cheap
I want one these so badlyyy
Perfect!!😍 Thanks for your sharing! It's time to upgrade my robot vacuum, really like it can wash the mop pad.
You’re welcome 😊
The review I was waiting for!!! Thank you! even though I already have a robot vacuum I really enjoy watching your videos.
Cool! Thank you!
If you need a stress test that thing, mail it my way. 😅 I've got two German Shepphards and 3 cats who overload my other vacuums often. They're usually always 100% plugged in the dust bin, RIGHT in the middle of the bin, leaning the sides fairly open and free. A design flaw for pet hair storage. The main house runs daily, the den/office one runs twice a day as the dogs are typically in here with me most the day while working.
Love German Shepphards, but my gosh, the hair. It's always fluff everywhere.
Current vacs: Roborock E4 and S5 Max
Prior: A handful of iLifes
I have been using Roborock S5 MAX since August 2020 till now. I'm thinking to buy the S7 MaxV Ultra with auto empty dock. much better the dock washes the mop pad itself. thanks for your video
Looking to buy this, has it held up well since this review?
To my understanding, the mop function on this can only hold water. It does not use soap or steam. That for me is the biggest shortcoming that if they improve, will probably be the dream for an all-in-one no minimal intervention system.
We have a lot of wool rugs in our house. Can we set multi no go areas in a room so we don't have to roll up our rugs every time we vacuum? We love our Roomba, but with no settings to avoid rugs is very frustrating.
I would love to see also a test regarding the height of obstacles that it can go under. My sofa is 10 cm above the floor and I had to hope for the best, when I ordered my current robot, that it would be able to go under it.
How does the S7 handle sloped floor transitions? I have some fairly major ramps between tile and hardwoods in my house.
I immediately went to check if this model was available in my country (a few of the ones you’ve recommended in the past are only available as imports and don’t come with warranty etc or have less features in the Australian market).
It is! Yay… then I saw the price. That’s heart attack material. Probably gonna need to save up given its $1100 over budget 😂
Hi, does the mopping pads of Roborock s7 maxv ultra get bad smell since it doesn’t have self drying function?
i am intrested to see if its worth repplacing my ecovacs S7Pro with this model. the biggest issue i have with the model is that i have a lot of smal tables with thin metal bars and its always fighting with it for some reason. Also it once in a while messes up the map so i have to reset the map and redo the no go zones what i really dont like to do
This robot vacuum looks good. I might get one to have clean floors like this guy.
Does the dock need a bag or is there a bagless option for this dock as well?
Just ordered it! Thanks 🙏🏻
I hope you enjoy it!
In your test, how well does this unit go over tile to wood floor transitions? The iRobot I have had goes over one way (from tile to wood), but will not go back over (from wood to tile).
how is the docking system working so far? still good?
Does it collect all the long hair without entangled the drum (stop the machine) like iRobot J7+? Thanks
I would love to see how reliably it returns to its charging base, in particular when the dock is hidden or occluded. It seems everyone puts their docks way out in the open. I want to hide mine behind or under furniture, or in a kitchen cabinet where the toe kick is removed to allow robot exit and entry.
We are doing this in our new house at the drop zone. Hopefully it works out.
Ive had my Roborock 4 Max under the couch previously. As long as it's a space the robot is comfortable cleaning, that means it can dock there. Right now it is next to a kitchen island and the dock gets bumped regularly by the dog. I never have to move it to get it to dock.
i have it under or behind a shelf. the higher parts are behind the shelf or more like the shelf is before the higher parts and the lower parts for parking are under the shelf. works fine for me.
i had the charging dock (the one that only charges, so it's really small) on my S7 under a rack of shoes so nobody would see it. It was docking perfectly fine
I have mine docked under a low dining room buffet and it docks no problem. Upgraded from a Neato d5 and I'm blown away by how much better and useful this vacuum is.
hello, does this supports multi floors option?
I want to use it on my 2 story house. My current Roborock S5 doesn't have this feature.
Greetings Good Sir! Our Family Loves Your Content ...
I was wondering ... How has this device held up since your 7 mth review? Any issues? I know it has more moving parts like you mentioned in the video!!!!
I can't wait for the S7 MaxV Plus to come to the UK.
I bought two of these Robots. They're amazing. Hey Vacuum wars. I watched this robot under IR so I can watch all the sensors reading the room and the robots movements. Footage you'd be interested in?
Any update on the dock?like how dirty does the area where the brushes are get?
How’s the performance when dealing with long pet hair? Tangled?
I'm holding out for the MaxVX+ Ultra Elite Deluxe Platinum Pro LE
Wish I could afford one of these things.. even the lesser model seems half decent. Nice review 👍🏽
I just bought it and its amazing but one issue i have it give me notification saying cant empty the dust cast ? how can i solve this issue please
Got mine Wednesday and after many years or owning roombas I can say the S7 MaxV Ultra is the most amazing robot vacuum I have ever owned. If it wasn't so expensive and not sold out I would be ordering two more asap. Was talking with a friend about it and one thing ya don't see enough reviews on for the robot vacuums is details about the app software, maybe something for you to spend more time on? :) Thank you for all your reviews I tell anyone looking to check out your youtube videos before buying.
I agree I own the S7 plus and enjoy it. Software and battery could be more efficient.
I saw a suuuuper detailed video review about the app somewhere on here. It looks amazing. I can’t wait until this is available for sale!
That is great to hear! Thank you!
I agree the apps are worth more time. It's hard to fit it all in a reasonably sized video. Thank you again.
@@VacuumWars Totally understand its not easy with how fast this market is growing. Maybe seperate videos on the apps since there doesnt seem to be much change in them unless a new bot is released with a new feature in the app? Just a thought, keep up the great work!
I watched tons of reviews but this was the one that made me go out and buy the S7 MaxV Ultra. I'm thoroughly impressed! It's even better than expected. It's so good, it took my cleaning lady's job and I'm not even joking. Thanks for the informative and very detailed review!
That is great!
hi there,
can i do without the detergent? can it be used with water only?
@@bluefandango I use water only and the results are great. There is no need to get the Roborock detergent.
@@jaytb6458 glad about it. i have so many allergies with the kids and all, it's a relief. i think i'm gonna invest in some roborock stuff then. thank you, my good sir.
I still have a cleaning lady as there is no drone that can dust, do the laundry, and scrub, yet!
The one I was waiting for. And you know that.
Thanks again for your great work.
Thanks for waiting for me!
@@VacuumWars Totally worth the wait ;)
can you use detergent or floor liquid instead of water?
I am considered about scrubbing part of the station. Could it be worn and be replaced? I cannot find parts online.
You should do a review on the rainbow home cleaning system.
Thank you ! That video is a beautiful start to my day. I was waiting on your review to know if it was worth the high price. Please keep the good work :D
You are so welcome! Thanks!
how about xiaomi mijia 1s self cleaning vs ecovacs omni x1 or robo rock in this video which one is better?
Woot! I’ve been waiting for this review!
