I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that few things in my adult life bring me pleasure, and watching vacuum videos on UA-cam is one of them 🙂
This hit too close to home

Wow the S9+ is the best. This is why I chose this bot suction power and having dog in the house it’s a must. Love it and your reviews.
The S9+ is the best! I’m so impressed. Mine is cleaning my home every day.
So glad to see this video. I just purchased S9 and was feeling guilty about spending so much money. But after watching this, I feel,it was money well spent. Thanks.
I am considering buying the S9+ for my Hardwood floors. Impressed with this video! I have a Labrador, and lots of pet hair.
I have a golden retrieve. My s9+ was god sent!
I agree how roombas are good. Roommate has the s6 pure and I find everything better about the roomba except the lack of a mop
Great video! I honestly don't think any non roomba vac could complete this test without assistance because only roombas have the auto empty then resume feature. With that said this amount of dirt isn't reality in most homes which is why most robot vacs can do such good jobs as long as their bin doesn't fill up. I love my t8+ it does a very good job running daily and keeping up on the debris and dog hair. With any non auto empty robot at the very least you'd have to empty the bin.
Love my S9+
We'd all love to see the Ecovacs Deebot T8 AIVI perform this mega stress test! Roborocks S5 would fail once the bin is full on the robot. The only ones worth performing the mega stress test are self emptying type vacuums.
Love the new intro style!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate the effort you went into doing this. I’m ordering one now. Thanks 😀
I got one in February and I love it. It does an amazing job every time and I have a large house with lots of carpet.
Thanx for the vid. Definitely love my S9.
I've said it many times before, but I LOVE MY S9+!!!
Great video! Can you do the same test with the Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8+?
This is super cleaning, but that is why it comes with a heavy price tag. All it needs is lidar. I think it will battle in real life complicated areas with lots of furniture and tables. I am sure the Roborocks will handle this test, but the missing self emptying bin will make it a up and down run to keep cleaning it out manually.
Still at the end of the day, this was impressive.
Thank you for your videos. Keep up the good work.🥰
I agree, I think this is a great review vid and Roomba folks should really really pay you for it... It's a pretty detailed video...
I wish....If they were smart. I have already probably sold a bunch of their robots for them.
Do the same MEGA STRESS TEST with the Roborock s5 and maybe even the Roborock s4 Max!
And s5 max
Well you leave me no option here other than buying it! I was questioning if I should buy it or not but, the questions are all gone now! Thank you!
Thanks, Please use my link in the description.
Same test with the Debot T8+ but instead of telling it to clean twice, tell it to clean once two times. That way it can empty in between cleanings. Also wanted to know if the S9 started with a full charge? Didn't seem like it should've recharged so soon. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming!
yes full charge....it was out for a while the time lapse part is 16x speed. unfortunately the t8+ I think would error out because the bin would be too full but I could try it if you really want.
I'd like to see this!
If you are testing over all performance, speed, quality of cleaning and minimal interaction, I think the Deebot would do just as good as the S9. You would have more interaction with the T8 sending it back out to clean over and over but the battery would allow it to do that same job faster and the end result should be just as good. Of course I have a T8 and it has never alarmed out because the dust bin was full, it just doesn't pick up much after it's full. Can't wait to see how it compares.
This was a great test. I'm impressed also. What is the best mopping robot?
Well Then I would like to see any other robot vacuum because this mess would be practical with the bigger families and it would be nice to see these other ones
Great review as always... Flat front, instead of 100% round robovacs, can clean edges of rooms better... but i9+ is a bit too pricey... :-P
@adamstechreviews Are they planning on releasing a new one? Or should i pick this one up on sale now?? Great videos!
Do this mega test with the Roborock s5.... Have it run twice on max power but to be fair empty the bin after the first run so it has a fair chance.
Great video. I have the iRobot 675. I'm happy with it but I don't like how erratic it cleans. I'm looking at the s9+ but I have seen a lot of negative reviews. Do you think it has improved much? It's a lot of money for something that is not entirely hassle free.
i dont think i have ever seen a neato product on your channel. they make very good vacuums to!! i have a few
I’d love to see the i7+ do this one.
You got it!
@@AdamsReviews Thank You!
@@AdamsReviews And also the i3+.
@@AdamsReviews hi it would be awesome to see the robo rock S6 Max V all the roborock S5 do the same test also keep up the hard work many thanks
Finally caved and got this one, absolutely obsessed with it. But I definitely experience a bit of that roller “grinding” on hard surfaces, if you’ve found that at all
A new roller assembly fixed this up for me ☺️
Hi, thank you for the video. I love my s9 but the great majority of my cleaning is for dog hair and emptying the bin (the stationery one, not the one on the vacuum) is a real pain. I’m using needle nose pliers and it takes a good 20 to 30 minutes to pull the hair out one little bit at a time. Am I missing a trick here? Is there an easier way? Thanks in advance!
Could you test the S4 max, run it on max power but empty the bin in between runs? I got an S4 max 3 weeks ago and love it, couldn't beat the price of $319. Makes my eufy 11s seem very weak and dumb now lol. Thanks for your videos, there sure fun to watch!
yea I can try
Do the Deebot T8+ next!
Nice video, appreciate it. Looks like a good purchase but my main gripe is a super loud vacuum, but I really need one so this is probably it. It's on sale for 599 on Amazon
Yes, its a good robot. still one of the best for suction
The subscribe animation was very cool!
Thanks
Oops I’m late, missed the stream.
You should make more of these live premieres, they’re pretty fun and we get to react with you on the chat.
you called it mighty
Impressive. Just doing a little post purchase research. LOL
Adam, I was wondering if you could do a video comparing battery life, bin compacity and charge times, as 1. I have a 360 S5 and it's really great at cleaning, but in the real world, it's a pain. I have 1500sq ft, 1 level. I started it today about 11am and it just finished at 7:40pm. It's an all day event. Sometimes it's not JUST about cleaning but, how it does it. Because it takes so long to charge, it's an all day annoyance. Then, before the last room I have to empty the bin. Not because it's full, because it's picked up enough dust, the filter must be tricking it into thinking there's a main brush jam. If I empty it, no errors. I would probably spend the money if I %100 knew a different one would be faster, more power efficient and clean as well.
roomba is the best!
You have to do the same test with the i7 please! Tonight now!
The transition from carpet to hardwood was even clean, that's hard to achieve with a lot of vacuums. The S9 must have crazy suction for a robot vacuum :)
Yes, its very good.
The s9 has 22 cfm on high suction
I have the s9 and love it . I'm curious is it possible for the S9 to use 2 docks if i buy a second one to use upstairs and downstairs ?
I think it would work fine...
you got 10 bags for this thing. Hey dude I have the T8+ the dust bags for it are more expensive then the roomba ones, can you see i they are interchangeable
They will not work with each other...I know roomba you can use knockoff brands
@@AdamsReviews thx
IT'S GREAT! Can you do A video of the LG hom bot?
A mapping question: After the map is made, can you ADD missed areas onto it -- for example can I add a closet area after opening the previously closed door?
Yes, on my j7, the area is added to the map.
Can you put a clock/timer along side the time lapse. Great vid!
Good idea!
Do the I7+!
it it true it ruins real hardwood floors?
7:24 HAHAHHAHA BEST SHARK DUMB Q JOKE IVE EVER HEARD TO THIS DAY (also the fact that it looks like a toilet :D)
I think random navigation irobots did a better job just because these were going through 1 place few times because of randomization. So some areas get more coverage but some get none
Got the i7+ and would love to see how it compares.
Might have to run it 2x on 2passes with the i7 I believe to get a comparable result
I7 is far less capable machine then most robots from what I’ve read.
"I will immediately buy whatever iRobot comes out with."
About that...
Hey! How are you still liking the S9? I'm looking at getting one....
Still like it alot....plan to do another video on it soon.
I subscribed
Hi, thanks for the great S9 video! I was wondering if the S9 can operate in the dark?
I now own a Roomba 896 and am thinking in upgrading to the S9. My 896 has no problems in hte dark, probably cause it doesn't have a camera.
thx
Not complete dark but if u have a light on in like every other room then it should be fine. You would need LIDAR to work in the dark
@@AdamsReviews But my Roomba 896 doesn't have a LiDAR scanner as far as I know and perfomrs great in totally dark rooms. Isn't infrared sufficient for this? Of course I can always leave a light on, but because I am blind I hardly have any lights on and secondly I have to leave lights on while I am not at home or asleep.
@@ronaldvanrhijn6652 the ROOMBA 896 can work in the dark because it has no navigation. It is dumb. The s9 is smart. LIDAR is the only smart one that can work in total darkness. The 896 can because it doesn’t have any sort of navigation.
@@MrBlueCreeper Ok thanks for your reply. That sounds like a logical explanation. In this case I like my vacuum robot to be a dumb one;)
@@ronaldvanrhijn6652 yea one pro for a dumb robot is that it works in total darkness.
Hi Adam, am debating to getting the S9+ . But i see a lot of reviews that it has some issues with short battery life and it gets the Famous Error 31! Whats your thought about those two things if i can pick you brain :)
The battery life is kind of poor it’s one of my complaints but the cleaning ability is very good I have not had the air 31 luckily
I’m kinda disappointed. They market it to be the best edge cleaner and it left a lot along edges and corners. What’s the point of using these if you gotta go back and clean the edges and corners yourself. Might as well do the entire room with a bit more time and effort. A $500 kyvol s1 can do the same job. Would you like to try the challenge?

Funny you should say that... The UK price is $2013 for the s9+ after you convert the price from British pounds into American dollars
Wow, it's like $1000+ Canadian
Madness pricing!
This robot can clean floor more Good than me 🤣
I have had the shark EZ robot vacuum and that thing is so freaking loud!!!!
i think i will buy the 3+ for my softwood floor
I think they should've added a function where you can take it around the house with a remote control, just like a toy... that'd make vacuuming much more efficient and fun... :-P
The Proscenic m7 can do that.
I want to see a mega stress test with the roborock s8 pro ultra
What changed your mind on liking the S9 from a year ago
It... Actually worked...?
software updates
Great presentation. I recently received the s9+ and feel it’s great getting hair and dust from both carpet and tile floor. What I don’t like is the mapping app, zigzag vacuuming, and short battery charge. The mapping stills need to be improved. Mapping app isn’t too bad but compared to a few other competitors, Roomba mapping app needs improvement. I want to have more option controlling areas of the house with better no zone layouts and ability to draw divided lines too. The s9+ does not always perform a zigzag, at times, it will bump into an object and go into another direction totally away from its previous position. At times, s9+ will vacuum over, over, and over in the same area and then moved to another section not in a zigzag path (almost similar to Sharks Pro.) So, sometimes the S9+ will do random vacuuming. Yes, I had the S9+ mapped the house serval times, but it will not always keep a path regardless how much it has been trained. I also noticed going back home to the dock, S9+ will be no more than a feet and spin a few times to sync with the station as if it can’t find its way home. The charge does not last compared to my previous vac, M7 Pro. The M7 Pro can vacuum my 1,200 square ft home and still have 70% charge remaining. S9+ will only have less than 10% charge remaining -if that.
I ordered the Neabot and will compared it to the S9+. Supposedly, Neabot has the best mapping system and navigation as well. What’s more, Neatbot battery is 5200, should get the same run time or better as the M7 Pro. Although, Neabot is out from Kickstart and there website has been down for over a month, not sure how long the company will be around but willing to give it a chance over the S9+. If Neabot navigation, mapping, battery life, and vacuum is better compared to S9+, I will not think twice returning the S9+. Reason I returned the M7 Pro and replaced it with the S9+, the M7 Pro mapping app was horrible. The M7 Pro app crashes too often, and it couldn’t recognize the vacuum at times. The map would disappear, close the app and reopen it will bring back the map. And there is a limited of only 5 no zones you can create for your floor plan. Most reviews for the M7 pro gave a one star for the app. Otherwise, the M7 Pro vac was excellent.
So, I will see if Neabot is a robot vac that actually can replace the S9+ for half the price. I will update once I have the Neabot and take it for a spin.

I’m interested to hear your opinion… I’m not gonna get the S9 plus right now because it’s just too expensive. I got an I6+ Recently with a prime deal, and I’ve read a lot of reviews. It seems like everyone thinks that rumba has the best Self emptying bin, but I haven’t seen itoo many videos on the M7 pro yet. Adam did one, but it was hard to tell how it compares to the I 7+ and not a lot of other people have compared it. So I’m guessing you wouldn’t trade my current one in? The M7 is about $100 cheaper, But I get the impression that The self-empty bin is not as good? Finally, I’m curious, have you tried a Roborock? I’m considering returning my current one And getting a S4 Max because of the cheaper price and better navigation, but I do really like the convenience of a self empty bin. And even though Oh my I 6+ has not napped out the entire house yet, I’m hoping that once it does, it would be a hands-free experience for me. What do you think? Thanks!
That is some odd behavior from the s9+ are you sure its fully updated? Sometimes it doesnt update like it should....as far as the m7pro if u sent that back you will not be happy with the neabot nomo either...it's basically a clone of the m7 pro. Maybe try the i7+?
Actually Adam did 2. One directly comparing the M7 Pro the I 7+, But it was a little bit of a draw and hard to tell which vacuum was better. Also did a great video comparing the different Self emptying bins, So that’s where I get the idea that the M 7 might not have As good a clean base? Thanks Adam!
@@AdamsReviews Tomorrow morning will check the update. Hmmm, a few days ago I tried to cancel the Neabot order but Amazon already shipped it, once it arrives will perform a test run. Thanks for the feed back.
@@katiejeselnick9324 Wow, great question. Although, I think Adam has done an outstanding demonstrations for many robot vacuum brands and models. Like myself, as a UA-cam Content Creator I don’t have enough experience in the robot vacuum war, my videos are on cooking & crafting. All I can do is share my limited experiences with two models and then some. I have the S9+ and will share my thoughts after explaining a previous robot I recently returned. I had the Proscenic M7 Pro with the empty bin and really loved it. The M7 Pro was easy to setup. Mapping a 1,200 square foot home took one round. M7 work not only in day light, but at night too. The amount of dirt the vacuum collected did a better job vs my standup shark vac. The pros for the M7 was high with the exception for the emptying the vacuum into the bin and poor design of the app. The Proscenic M7 Pro auto bin container does not completely empty the vacuum, there are some dirt left behind in the vacuum. But, the M7 didn’t disappoint me whatsoever not emptying the dirt 100%, it never held the vacuum back from doing its job. Where the M7 failed is the app and customer support, the worst of both worlds.
Proscenic’s app and support are known to be problematic throughout reviews and user’s personal experience. The app is so badly written causing the vacuum to not respond or completely finished a job correctly. The mapping will disappear, at times will loose communication with the vacuum, or crashes -period. So, I return the M7 Pro not because the lack of emptying the dirt 100% to the bin, but for a poorly written app. And the lack of communication with Proscenic customer service was another reason for the returned.
The reason I am looking to return the S9+ because it is inconsistent with zigzag paths, battery does not hold enough charge to do a second round of vacuuming, and the app still needs a lot of work. Yes, emptying the dirt from the vacuum to the bin is one of the best vs all other brands, but it still didn’t justified the price tag for the other issues I had so far. The M7 Pro kept a charge even after I set it to do a second round of vacuuming, where the S9+ barely made the first round before returning to the charging station -crazy. Also, the S9+ needs enough light to map and vacuum the house. What? I only found one review that stated Roomba requires enough light for any of their vacuums to work properly, this is after I had purchased the S9+. (Unless Adman mentioned it and I missed it.) Well, a lot has to do with the Lidar (laser guided) vs VVSLAM (camera based) and if it performs an algorithm or the vacuum is random. Another subject -lol 😳. The high price tag for any of the Roomba’s should have the capabilities to vacuum in low light, but they don’t.
Again, as a UA-cam Content Creator, my experience is in the cooking and crafting world, I had to do hours of research to get a better understanding of the robot vacuums. Thanks to Adam and other UA-cam folks, I finalize what may be my best option. First, most of the robot vacuums (Chinese Brands) are mostly clones. Dufy RoboVac 11s, RoboVac G30, Ecovac Ozmo T8, iLife, Kyvol, Yeedi, Neabot, etc.. are very similar if not a clone. What separates many brands is not the vacuum, but the app (customer service too.) My opinion, the app is the heart of the robot vacuum. If the app is poorly written or not user friendly then the vacuum will not perform well. The robot vacuum (most) is driven by the app and will obey accordingly how the app is written (coded.) So, if you have an app that does not respond well to the network, or it is limited in functionality like most robot vacuum brands, you most likely be dissatisfied with the vacuum. Yes, features may be better on one vacuum brand vs another, but the app is really the key to look at first before seeking to buy a $200 or $1,400 robot vacuum. It is hard earned money that should not go to waste when making a robot vacuum decision. A $150 is still a lot for many folks to cough-up on a vacuum that may be problematic!
So, throughout my research, I ended up ordering the Neabot with a discount code for about $450. It looks like a clone to the M7 Pro with all the bells and whistles, but it is Neabot’s app that separates the two. According to most reviews, Neabot is to be the top robot vacuum for it’s functionality and best app ever written. It is the app that supposedly makes Neabot’s vacuum shine. Neabot is also far less then what I paid for the S9+ and has the same if not more features. Once I receive it, I will update my personal experience. Until now, understand most of the robot vacuum brands with a empty bin competing with Roomba will not win with their empty bin containers, Roomba is the winner. But, other brands besides Roomba, still do a great job emptying the trash automatically, not a 100%, but good enough to get the job done without effecting the performance of the vacuum. Oh, I did almost forget the S9+ with the big double rollers is a plus. The large rollers do pick up more dirt on a single run then the competitors. But, those rollers will have to be replace a few times per year costing around $45 a set, at least three times a year if not more depending how much the vacuum is used. $145 per year were looking at to replace those rollers. Plus, don’t forget Roomba’s expensive bags too. So, to maintain the Roomba vacuums, there is going to be a hefty price tag each year. So, if you purchase any Roomba model between $500 and $1,400, realistically, you’re paying more each year, and that dollar amount will continue to grow each time parts and accessories needs to be replaced.
Katie, as to the Roborock, I still can’t see myself spending $700+ on a vacuum again. To me, if someone has all the funds in the world or living on a tight budget, spending that much is just not worth it. These robot vacuums are still in beta and needs far more improvements as to what we’re getting now for such a outrageous high price tag. Here are two UA-cam links I would like to share. The two videos may help you to further your decision making -I hope so. The first is about the Neabot. The second one is why a long time Roomba S9+ user will not buy this model again after 18 months owning it. Also, if you do decide to try the Neabot, use the 10% discount code on that UA-cam channel, I did and saved a lot. I am not affiliated with any of the links or been sponsored by.

Roomba S9+ Review:
ua-cam.com/video/YiQO7vc1RzY/v-deo.html
I am considering buying the S9+, however I’m confused by your conflicting reviews. Can you clarify? Do you recommend or do you Not recommend this vacuum? In this video, you specifically said “this thing cleans amazingly well and I’ve been a big fan of it lately”... But you have another video that is older where you talk about how disappointed you are in this robot to the point of returning it for a refund? Which is it? Is it great or is it terrible?
It’s great. The other video is a long time ago before they release software updates. It’s much much better now than before.
@@AdamsReviews Great, thanks for clarifying.
Wanna see a thick carpet test
Amazon still has i6+ or i7+ for $549 that is less than costco i8+ which is $579
$699 without the bag station is pretty tempting
Lucky. It's over $1600 in the UK after currency conversion without the auto-empty bin
Have you tested the iRobot roomba 805?
We would love it!!
If you could please test the iRobot roomba 805
The really test is with pet hair (dog and/or cats) because their more difficult than "large" debris.
Can you do this mega stress test with the roborock s6
I don't have the s6 but will do it with my s5
@@AdamsReviews yea same thing basicly, doesn’t have the self empty bin so isn’t apples to apples but would like to see how much it can get vs the roomba on say each doing 2 passes with the bins emptied each pass. Time comparisons for the two would be nice to know also.
I have watched a bunch of your vids today on this mega stress test and in my view the Roborocks S4 Max and S5 did a better cleaning job than this expensive paperweight. I had an S9+ and the useless Braava M6 mopping bot they sell to go with it and returned both of them for a refund.
I wanna see it with the i7
its almost like the stress test never happened!
Bro I'm stoned af and that stunt you pulled at 8:40 fucked my world all up.
LMAO...I think you better sub :)
@@AdamsReviews Look at this guy thinkin' he's slicker than goose shit. LOL, I was already subbed m8. Great content!
This is a classic case of "Fake it Til you Make it". Clearly this is an impressive Vacuum, however I must say that Roomba's history was all about good marketing of sub-par engineering. They were really late to the game in coming out with SLAM-powerered mapping and AI and their "dumb" vaccums were WAAAYYYy overpriced... but it appears that they've put the cash they vacuumed up into making an actually good product this time.

AdamsTechReviews I saw a video where you sent an S9+ back in February, did they upgrade the s9+ since for the better or was that s9+ just a bad apple?
They did some massive upgrades with the software.
What is the name of the song in the intro? My 3 year old loves it
Sorry, I do not know someone made it for me.
All stress test must have hair!!
You know what's crazy, it is 1,800 USD in Japan. Which I still fell for, because I know this is what I need.
Yea
how did i get here i like
is that mega???? Was 30 lb of rise
I'm on roomba #2 first one had error 31 and this one from the start is error 9. That is my stress test. Roomba 2 me 0
Only rich n wealthy can afford this 1000+ 🤯
I'd like to see the shark iq try it.
It would fail so miserably but mainly because the bin would just fill and error out.
didn4t you have a qq video that you return it
About a year ago. Had several updates that made it really good I bought a new one.
But will it clean my carpet?
6:40 it farted
At 12:20 to 12:24 it looked like the s9+ teleported
That is its new feature! lol
I have a feeling that the S9 was obese after this! :P
bet he got disappointed with the next irobot product.
just got an s9+ for 80$
This robot can not be used in a real home. It get stuck everywhere, if the wheels gets stuck in a cord or cloth, the wheels break. you need to change the parts in it once every 2 month, it can brake your carpets, it is not autonomous, you need to watch it as if it was a little baby, if it gets stuck it can make your chair fall, because it will forceful, move them. This model is a real hazzle.
I’m thinking about making a UA-cam channel called robot guy and I have had 4 robot vacuums in the past and I have 4 right now
Don't do Shark Robot vacuums we all know how crappy they are lol.
Still think for the price there should be ZERO rice and jelly beans! I would have to go behind it to finish the job with a non robot vacuum so what’s the point other than a rather large hole in your bank account! Sorry Romba, you may be the best but you failed in my review just like all the other robot vacs. I’ll wait for better technology and lower prices!
Hey maybe u could do shoutouts and stuff!
