Can we just appreciate how much work went into this information packed 7 minute video?! Dang! I'm sad my roomba is not appearing to keep up with other companies though 😞
Roombas still have a lot of premium features that other robots don't have. And it gets the job done well. Plus you can use it with Alexa to have it clean rooms so you never have to open the app.
@@leeroymlg4692 premium features like what? On roborock you can connect the app to smart assistants to tell it to clean specific rooms, so i hardly doubt you know anything else apart from what roomba does. The only thing i can give roomba is the champion on deep carpet cleaning.
I cannot even imagine the effort that went into this. From having to write a history, to having to innovate a standardized testing method, to actually pulling off the tests, it was all very impressive and helpful! The torture test design is especially brilliant and reflected a pretty amazing knowledge of flaws in robot vacuums, that I never would've even thought to ask about. Thank you for the amazing video!
Great, concise video. Buyers should consider that the Samsung Jet Bot will not fit (and therefore never clean) under most furniture . This negates one of the key advantages of robot vacs, especially as this is where the most dust collects.
@@VacuumWars 2022 is just crazy for robot vacuums and mops and its great to see mopping really coming into its own. But for those of is who want their mopper and vacuum as separate robots, what would be the best vacuum-only and mop-only (or mop-centric?) bot? I think this could be a great vid. Thanks for all your content!
Great summary and great content as always. One interesting thing I noticed during testing for my last video was that the Ecovacs X1 OMNI got significantly worse at avoiding objects when it didn't have access to the internet. How do you handle internet connectivity during your testing?
Since I’ve seen many of your Blue Iris videos where Deepstack is used… I’ve always wondered if someone can make a robot vacuum that sends to camera feed to a PC doing the object recognition for it. Clearly it wouldn’t be ideal for everyone, but it would make ME very happy ;)
@@JoeyDee86 Most of the brands are doing all the AI stuff on the vacuum itself. When blocked from the internet there was no change in performance in the Roomba J7 or the S7MaxV.
Even after buying the Roomba S7 about a year ago, am still interested in how these companies try to develop their products and see how you approach and measure their progress. keep it up, brother.
I have the roborock S7 MaxV with the Ultra Dock. It is an amazing product. I am very very happy with the performance, ease of use, practicality. Yes, it is expensive, but if you are looking for a high-end robot vacuum that is about as close to perfect as can be (in my opinion) this is the one. Oh, and I owned the Ecovacs Omni. It too, is an excellent product, but… one feature the Roborock offered the Omni did not made me swap for the roborock; couldn’t be happier.
Talk about PTSD inducing, I've never seen so many evil machines in 1 video. These were higher end killing machines too. Durning the Robot Vacuum Wars you would usually only see these units as commanders or squad leads. If any man had to face all of that on the battlefield, heavens save his soul.
One thing I wanted to point out that I wish you'd look at would be availability of replaceable consumable items. I currently have the Samsung AI vac and the biggest disappointment is lack of availability of spare cleaning bags, blame what you want as to why they where not introduced to market, it took months for them to come up on the store following release leading most to not being able to use their auto empty docks. As for other items, getting a brush roller replacement, or various pieces of the vac replaced is currently impossible as I'm experiencing right now trying to replace the rubber gasket around the cleaning head. Makes me wish i'd never bought the damn thing and should have just kept my S9
I used the review from this channel to buy the Dremebot Z10. My eufy bumper one died and I’m looking for a replacement with an auto-empty bin. I didn’t like the single spinning edge brush, I didn’t think the app was easy to use after installing, and edge mode is a must. I just can’t seem to find it in the programming. Sent it back. Back to this channel to find a Shark one probably.
Whatever you do, read the Ecovacs privacy notice before you buy. If you have no issues with it, then buy it. I have returned the Omni and switched to the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra.
Thanks for the review. I had almost settled on the Z10 as an intermediate step from the Roborock S5 Max, particularly as there is no official supplier of Roborock in the UK. You have confirmed the decision as the Z10 costs very little in comparison to the others. My dog promises not to make a mess so that particular weakness of the Z10 is resolved ;-D
Awesome idea with the new kind of test and comparison! I was really surprised that Samsung got so much score on the AI systems, I expected the others would be higher up the score. Still, as you said it is only one part of the whole usage, so I still can't wait to get my hands on the Roborock. Side topic, I contacted the EU support from Roborock with a couple of questions regarding the cleaning solution - I heard about Omo but I didn't know it was the official Roborock solution - and it is great to hear that the Robots now have an official solution. With the S7 I saw some concerns in the internet that if you try a custom cleaning solution the bubbles might clog up the little water filter so I never used any but now that Omo appeared, I ordered some and the EU support even confirmed it can be used in earlier models like S7 from last year. Only thing they mentioned is that it is not disinfectant but still - better than pure water, right.
Some engineer from at least one of these companies is watching this video, then checking their telemetry logs on the server to pull up the log files from your robot vac to then add all of your obstacles into their AI database to get a better score on your next review. Teach to the test, baby!
That will actually help because with A.I learning to actually see objects on fancy carpets will improve things alot, not just his aforementioned items as they're blind in that arena right now
My Ecovacs T8 AIVI did not avoid my cats favorite toy ( it's some feather on a fishing pole) even a single time in over a year :) I did not notice a problem with other small objects, but there is not much clutter on the floors either. Regardless, I am very happy with it
Your videos are so incredibly thorough, informational and entertaining! You put an incredible amount of time and energy into each "battle" and I really appreciate it all! Thank you for your time and hard work!
Great video, as I've said in other comments, I absolutely love the Roborock S7 Max V. I just got a new bot yesterday that I would definitely suggest you check out, the Trifo Lucy pet edition. It's a camera based bot that is able to avoid objects and unlike the Roomba, it works in the dark. It has 4000 PA of suction and also includes a separate extractor that you can attach instead of the spinning brush. It's designed for hard floors but it will clean with straight suction and since there is no spinning brush, hair will not get tangled. I think you mentioned this company in one of your videos about CES, even though it's a camera bot, it cleaned my place as fast as the Lidar bots so I would say it's navigation is better than Roomba. I do have the Dreametech L10 which I think is the same as the Z10 but without the auto empty bin. I like the auto empty docks but they definitely take up more space than the standard charging stations. Anyway, the L10 is also excellent. Another object avoidance bot I would suggest you check out is the Neabot Q11. This one is Lidar based but the laser is in the front so it's able to avoid objects better than the bots with the Lidar on top. Another bot that has the laser in the front is the 360 s10, supposedly it has several lasers for its navigation, haven't tried this one though.
Overall I thought this was a detailed and well executed comparison. However, I would also say some of the objects used wouldn’t need to be avoided and you would get a better clean overall if the item could be gently pushed instead. Giving the robot an arm would be cool to allow the removal of the obstacle but that would be some time away.
Great video! I wanted to buy a vacuum but I was totally lost on all the options and models. The manufacturers are doing such a bad job at explaining the differences. This really helps, thanks.
Ok. This goes to anyone interested in the X1 Omni or is having issues with the mopping. The pads that Ecovacs send if you complain about the mopping performance are exactly the same original ones but with an insert of 1 mm thickness inside the hollow shaft on the pads. So if you're having issues or want to improve the performance of your X1 Omni all you need to do is add either a 1 mm thick washer or spacer, metallic preferably so it doesn't fall off if you remove the pads, so the pads get closer to the floor by that distance. That's all it is to it. If that's your only reason for choosing the S7 MaxV, I would suggest trying the X1 Omni. Rotating pads are always going to be better than just a vibrating pad on the S7 MaxV.
Thanks for this review, I got the Z10 based on this review and so far its been good. My S4 used to get stuck on random objects lying around but so far this has not done that once. It does seem to sometimes detect an object that isn't there, and also sometimes I have noticed it knocks objects when trying to go around them
Fans are kind of like vacuums... There are new window fans like the Sharper Image PORTAL or Vornado Trransom that would be nice to see you do a comparison of.
I appreciate this. It is hard to know what to get, when you don't understand the technology. I am on my second Roomba now (the S9+) and it is a piece of garbage, just like it's predecessor. I spend more time looking for it due to "navigation problems" than it would take just to vacuum the house myself. I want to buy one more time and get something that will actually do the work, without the headache. Taking you on your word. "Roborock," eh? Works for me. Thanks again.
Thank you for all de detailed information, its time consuming for testing all these robots. Not only the best choice for your needs but also for the budget. Liked & subscribed.
Great work as always! Appreciate the history. Interesting how N8 Pro performed better than T8 AIVI in the torture test. I do believe that cameras are the future but for now I like my lazers. Don't forget to get replacement upgraded mopping plates for ur X1 before u make it battle the S7 Max :) Tnx for ur work and have a great day!
Amazing video! This is a phenomenal channel for comparing vacuums. I’d be interested in knowing how loud these various vacuums are. If a robot vacuum is obnoxiously loud, my husband can’t stand listening to it if he is at home.
My new to me refurbished Deebot 960 doesn't see anything with the camera at night with the lights out so I guess it doesn't have any sort low light capability on its camera. It does map and clean the carpet better than my old 901 that finally had a drive wheel lockup and I didn't bother trying to fix it out of warranty. I'm happy for the price paid and I probably could just have it run early in the morning when it's light out while we're working and it would catch all the obstacles. If there is some low light on it does better and will show you what it found, and what it actually avoided.
Have you considered noting which firmware versions you test on, and perhaps comparing firmware versions? The S7 MaxV just got a new firmware update that claims to improve object detection and navigation, for example. Great videos!
Very cool, great video! Prior to watching it I thought iRobot was falling behind the competition a little but now, knowing about their obstacle avoidance AI, I know they still are on pare. I hope their next Roomba will be a vacuum + mop combo!
Gran video !!!Tengo una Z10pro hace ya unos meses y todos los días trabaja bastante y lo único puedo decir que es una máquina con una navegación muy precisa, batería sobrada y se nota que sabe dónde está en todo momento es muy muy potente y con un rendimiento altísimo la verdad , no ha fallado nunca!!! , he podido observar que aprende en cada limpieza ,,y con el paso de las limpiezas mejora en su rendimiento en tiempo y se nota que va más confiada,si mueves muebles se adapta sin problema , nunca golpea nada es muy cuidadosa además con la nueva actualizacion es muy configurable ,es lo que puedo decir a mi me da un gran resultado la verdad, saludos Spain !!
You should do a video on the Ryobi PBLSV717 Stick vac when it comes out. Its $250 and it seems like a shark vertex duo clean but a Ryobi version. Has the dual roller bars, some sort of cyclonic filtering. I dont think it has hepa though but I'm really curious. It seems like it would be a great option for people who already have a bunch of Ryobi batteries and its at a reasonable price. I also did a bunch of reasearch and it seems to share some traits like the cyclone with the Hoover onepower blade, they are after all both made by TTI. But yeah it would be cool if you looked into reviewing this product when its eventually released.
Great review! Thanks so much! I have the Dreametech z10 and it does a great job vacuuming the crazy amount of hair my dogs shed (I have not tried the mopping). I had the Shark IQ and found it to be worthless. In dozens of tries the Shark IQ never mapped my house. Instead the Shark IQ ran its battery to 0% under my dining room table endless bumping back and forth on the chair legs; effectively stuck. Have you ever considered a dining room chair leg torture test? Have you considered timing how long mapping takes? Thanks again!
You should start to include in your test a cliff sensor because some robot cliff sensors detect black as a cliff still for example the ecovac deebot t8+
I honestly don't like the mopping system in the Roborock S7 MaxV. I prefer rotating pads like in the X1 Omni. The system to clean the pads is better on the X1 Omni too. Only moving parts, the pads on the robot and it even keeps them dry to avoid mildew and bad smells. I believe the X1 Omni is Superior to the S7 MaxV
@@elleryfg7853 For exactly these reasons I hesitated for a long time and my preference was also the Omni at first, but many have problems with the pads, they must then be replaced and that takes a long time
@@spidersontheweb I have the X1 Omni, just recently got it. The "issue" with the pads is a minor one. It seems they had some production issue and some plates have a small difference in the dept inside shaft that houses the magnet which fixes the plates to the shaft in the robot. That can even be corrected by just adding a small washer inside the hollowed shaft in the plates. Even with that the robot does a good job mopping, it's just a bit inconsistent if you test it rigorously. Of course it's an expensive robot and you should not expect that kind of issue but do you? It a whole new system, it's the first of it's kind, sort of, there's always going to be small details to polish or production QA issues. This one is a minor one and even with that I believe it's a superior system to the one on the S7 MaxV. That's the reason I chose it. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you
Either I got a really good one, or you got a lemon. My N8 has been fantastic and never gets stuck on cables or clothes in my testing. It seems to detect everything, even things I don't want it to avoid like curtains, blinds and bed skirts and it handily beat out a T8 AIVI while I was comparing them. I never did use it on novelty or real waste, though, as I don't have pets.
Your videos are always so well thought out, entertaining, and as factual and honest as possible. Thanks so much for doing this!! I still love my s9+ robots, but I'll admit I have to pick up the floor either before or during to prevent them from getting stuck or tearing up cords, which isn't ideal. I can't wait for this new generation of obstacle avoidance to get perfected and usher in a new age of robot vaccums!
Can't wait for the ultra dock. My down stairs is 900+sq ft of hard floor and I have to fill the tank every time. Should have waited for the combo deal.
VW, best robot vacuum with a mop attachment ? i bought the EUFY L70 based off your review , hoping it’s not a mistake bc a lot of other reviews said the opposite
Thank you for your work as always! Good job in the designing of new tests. I think giving us the results of the avoiding obstacles test but then making an overall score was a really good idea. I wonder what next new features they will add in the future as I feel that we reached a point where there is not much room to innovate… maybe a flying robot to vacuum the stairs ? 😄 Anyway, thank you again and I’ll be waiting for your next video.
Hi, have you tested Elektrolux pure 9.2 robot vacuum cleaner? I'm on my second vacuum cleaner from them, I'm happy with how they have vacuumed and it would be fun to see how they are against the other robot vacuum cleaners.
could you review some of the newer electrolux vaccums? I feel like they usually make quality products but it's been lacking from this channel. Otherwise great content as always!
I just picked up the Dreame L10 Pro for $220 on Amazon and its been great so far. Definitely a nice upgrade from my original Xiaomi Mi vacuum. Its much quieter and the mopping function seems to be useful. I haven't been able to find a better deal on a robot with obstacle avoidance for the price.
for the six object test it could have been helpful to say if those vacuums had actually those objects programmed in, if they claim they should avoid them or not. yeah sure it's basic objects and they should all know them but it's different if they claim they should avoid them and they don't
Wow ! Great as always! Love to watch yours tests! Top of the top content! It is so Good to watch, when I see it is not another sponsored sh** Thank You!!!! I'm from Poland and many of vacuum's are only US - for example shark:( I would love to see more Xiaomi/dreame T30 maybe?
Can you do a test on the d9 dreambot? It's a really nice price and for what it looks like, it looks really nice! but I would love an opinion from someone who knows what theyre doing

But yeah it would be cool if you looked into reviewing this product when its eventually released.
Great Job! Love the new tests for the AI Vacs, All these in depth tests are very informative for future purchases
Thank you!
Great review! Thanks so much! I have the Dreametech z10 and it does a great job vacuuming the crazy amount of hair my dogs shed (I have not tried the mopping). I had the Shark IQ and found it to be worthless. In dozens of tries the Shark IQ never mapped my house. Instead the Shark IQ ran its battery to 0% under my dining room table endless bumping back and forth on the chair legs; effectively stuck. Have you ever considered a dining room chair leg torture test? Have you considered timing how long mapping takes? Thanks again!
What did you use in the tests?
You should start to include in your test a cliff sensor because some robot cliff sensors detect black as a cliff still for example the ecovac deebot t8+
Wow vacuum wars is the most thorough on testing and validating these investments. Much thanks
Glad you think so!
🤖😍🤖🤗💪👍 1:02 you forgot about Samsung, LG and Neato which robot equipped with cameras and lidar first appeared in early 2010's much before Roomba 900's
Consider doing a comparison for handheld (preferably corded) CAR vacuums.
I don't have a robot vacuum... yet. But this video was so satisfying and well made.
Thank you!
Thanks for the effort!
These are really good criteria. Well done developing them!
Thank you!
Dang, can't wait for Roborock s7 MaxV Ultra in Europe.
Same but Canada
It is available in Europe since May 2! I bought mine in Germany (live in the Netherlands myself) since Tuesday at home and best purchase ever!
I honestly don't like the mopping system in the Roborock S7 MaxV. I prefer rotating pads like in the X1 Omni. The system to clean the pads is better on the X1 Omni too. Only moving parts, the pads on the robot and it even keeps them dry to avoid mildew and bad smells. I believe the X1 Omni is Superior to the S7 MaxV
@@elleryfg7853 For exactly these reasons I hesitated for a long time and my preference was also the Omni at first, but many have problems with the pads, they must then be replaced and that takes a long time
@@spidersontheweb I have the X1 Omni, just recently got it. The "issue" with the pads is a minor one. It seems they had some production issue and some plates have a small difference in the dept inside shaft that houses the magnet which fixes the plates to the shaft in the robot. That can even be corrected by just adding a small washer inside the hollowed shaft in the plates. Even with that the robot does a good job mopping, it's just a bit inconsistent if you test it rigorously. Of course it's an expensive robot and you should not expect that kind of issue but do you? It a whole new system, it's the first of it's kind, sort of, there's always going to be small details to polish or production QA issues. This one is a minor one and even with that I believe it's a superior system to the one on the S7 MaxV. That's the reason I chose it. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you
I hope you do Cord Stick Vacuum Reviews.
Thanks a lot for this!
Can you make a comparison of different software from robot vacuum companies? Which is the best software interface and execution?
Either I got a really good one, or you got a lemon. My N8 has been fantastic and never gets stuck on cables or clothes in my testing. It seems to detect everything, even things I don't want it to avoid like curtains, blinds and bed skirts and it handily beat out a T8 AIVI while I was comparing them. I never did use it on novelty or real waste, though, as I don't have pets.
Well for people with fancy carpets, it doesn't work and seems to love shit as well
Do you have that excel by any chance? I don't care about the auto-clean/refil feature or the speed but care about AI and price
Can’t wait to see ur best mop cleaning test.
Your videos are always so well thought out, entertaining, and as factual and honest as possible. Thanks so much for doing this!!
I still love my s9+ robots, but I'll admit I have to pick up the floor either before or during to prevent them from getting stuck or tearing up cords, which isn't ideal.
I can't wait for this new generation of obstacle avoidance to get perfected and usher in a new age of robot vaccums!
Can't wait for the ultra dock. My down stairs is 900+sq ft of hard floor and I have to fill the tank every time. Should have waited for the combo deal.
We need longer video! Never had enough of your work 😀
Thanks!
I love this channel so much
That robot vacuum with Obstacle Avoidance does better than a lot of the drivers I saw out on the road today - in terms of reaction time.
This is one of the most interesting video on this topic, keep continue, awesome job
Wow, thanks!
VW, best robot vacuum with a mop attachment ? i bought the EUFY L70 based off your review , hoping it’s not a mistake bc a lot of other reviews said the opposite
Very scientific approach to testing. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks!
you sitting there watching all the robots bump into each other 🤣
Thank you for your work as always! Good job in the designing of new tests. I think giving us the results of the avoiding obstacles test but then making an overall score was a really good idea. I wonder what next new features they will add in the future as I feel that we reached a point where there is not much room to innovate… maybe a flying robot to vacuum the stairs ? 😄 Anyway, thank you again and I’ll be waiting for your next video.
Thank you!
Great videos! I was looking at buying a Dreametech z10 or the Roborock s5 max. Wondering which one you would go with? Thanks
Please do a test on if robots have hepa filters.
Hi, have you tested Elektrolux pure 9.2 robot vacuum cleaner? I'm on my second vacuum cleaner from them, I'm happy with how they have vacuumed and it would be fun to see how they are against the other robot vacuum cleaners.
Is it better than s5 max? Mop not being a factor
could you review some of the newer electrolux vaccums? I feel like they usually make quality products but it's been lacking from this channel. Otherwise great content as always!
Hi,
What do you think of the Cecotec Robot Aspirateur Conga 9090 IA ?
fantastic review.
Thank you!
Lol "In the Beginning...." Epic
I just picked up the Dreame L10 Pro for $220 on Amazon and its been great so far. Definitely a nice upgrade from my original Xiaomi Mi vacuum. Its much quieter and the mopping function seems to be useful. I haven't been able to find a better deal on a robot with obstacle avoidance for the price.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much for your effort, really interesting video!
Thank you!
Awesome content 🙂
Thank you!
Great content!
Dyson Heuristic isn’t even in the list and I read to be very bad and also too expensive. Can you confirm this?
Can you compare it to the W10 of dreame? they look very similar and I am trying to dedice what to buy.
I don't have carpets at home
No Eufy x8?
Great analysis!
Looks like the Shark AI VacMop Obstacle Avoidance is useless.
Do you still like the T8? X1? Samsung JetBot AI?
Thanks. I do still like those, each for their own reasons. They have been impressive.
@@VacuumWars :) is the mopping sill bad on the X1?
i love my ecovac t8. It goes on sale at best buy for $500 with the auto empty dock. I thought it was a great deal.
@@prviolist definitely a good deal.
for the six object test it could have been helpful to say if those vacuums had actually those objects programmed in, if they claim they should avoid them or not. yeah sure it's basic objects and they should all know them but it's different if they claim they should avoid them and they don't
Is Neato just giving up? They are quickly being left behind with other vacuums that have these new features.
Love your videos.. started watching it few years ago to see what roborock vacuums are like now just watch cause idk got used to ur style 🤣
Just, I discovered that the Z10 does not have a camera. Just Structured Light sensors and LiDAR in the front
0:20 ROBOT RAVE!!!
‼️can you do backpack vacuums⁉️ I’m thinking of getting one and there is such a big price range.
Does the iRobot j7 use structured light?? Or just straight up machine vision techniques?
Wow ! Great as always! Love to watch yours tests! Top of the top content! It is so Good to watch, when I see it is not another sponsored sh**
Thank You!!!!
I'm from Poland and many of vacuum's are only US - for example shark:(
I would love to see more Xiaomi/dreame T30 maybe?
Thank you very much! I can't promise anything but thank you for the suggestion!
Can you do a test on the d9 dreambot? It's a really nice price and for what it looks like, it looks really nice! but I would love an opinion from someone who knows what theyre doing
I wish we could get more roborock s7 comparisons against the s7 maxv and other options
why did u delete the pure clean video
Any chance there's something better out now vs the S7 max4 Ultra?
We have a new Best Robot Vacuums video out right here - ua-cam.com/video/9D677jDPeAs/v-deo.html - Those premium models are really raising the bar!
Oooo! Friday drop video!
Enjoy!
What about transition strips between rooms ?
the biggest "max climbing height" we have seen so far is 20mm, but it can still vary.
Any chance you can add the Miele Scout RX3 to your lineup?
