Roborock S7 - 6 Month User Review

[@MrBlueCreeper]

Sparkles is back!!! Hope Roborock releases the Self-Washing robot in the US. Will you be getting the new shark ai?

[@RobotMasters]

Not sure yet about the new AI 🧐, trying to get a J7 and currently reviewing the Viomi V3 Max. Can’t wait for the self washing Roborock 😂

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@@RobotMasters Me too! Wonder how the J7 will do. The AI is only on best buy and it is out of stock, sadly.

[@RobotMasters]

@@MrBlueCreeper Sad Day, maybe you can find one on eBay?

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@@RobotMasters I might, but it was just released, so I don’t expect to find one. I will let you know when I find one

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@@RobotMasters no luck. The robot isn’t even on Shark’s own website. Maybe Shark will send you one?

Thank you for all your robot sweeper reviews! I've been following your channel since Feb 2021 when I first started my research into getting a robot sweeper. I have 3 dogs, one a golden retriever, and keeping up with the shedding hair required me to sweep 2 to 3 times a week with a standard sweeper. With 2,600 square feet this took up a lot my time that could be used elsewhere. I decided the brush design of the Roborock S7 was going to be my best shot with dealing with long pet hair. When I saw your video mentioning that the S7 was $200 off for Black Friday I made the leap and purchased one. I have had it for 3 weeks now and the wife and I absolutely love it! I run it every other day and I never see dog hair dust bunnies on my floor. Most of my house is hard wood flooring or tile so the mopping works satisfactory on them. My only minor thing with the mopping is the streaks left behind on the hard wood floors from the water which is most notable on sunny days when the light shines in. It's not a big deal since my floors are a light color wood. I think as long as I run the sweeper every two to three days I will not need the self emptying system. Keep up the great reviews and God bless!

[@RobotMasters]

Thanks for watching and I am glad the S7 been a good cleaner for the most part. Not sure how Roborock can address the streaking, maybe change up the mopping pattern? They could revise the mopping pad to prevent streaking.

[@John-shreds]

Thanks for your review. I just picked up and s7 for 450 bucks from a black friday sale.

[@RobotMasters]

Sounds good hope it works well for you!!!

[@philh1826]

This man sold me on the S4 a few years ago. It was absolutely fantastic for my condo and has saved me so much time. Time is the most valuable non-renewable resource we possess so the price was completely justified. Just bought a 2700 SF house so I think ill go with the S7plus as the S4 seems to only be capable of mapping 1 floor. Nathan, is the S7plus capable of multiple maps? Do you know how many? Thank u so much for these informative videos

[@RobotMasters]

Yes I believe you can save 4 maps. Thanks for watching and glad the videos helped!!!!

[@madsnummedal3263]

Now I got my s7+ in Norway/Europe and we got Bagless and the bagged system

[@RobotMasters]

Nice, how the bagless system? Do you like it over the bagged version?

[@madsnummedal3263]

@@RobotMasters I am really allergic to dust and all that, so I love that is is bagged, but if you are out of bags and you need to by more then the combination is perfect because you can still use it. I really like the bagged also

[@shanew7361]

How do you like it? We have 2700 sq ft carpet, tile and vinyl. One Persian cat and 1 girl. Concerned about pet hair and ability to clean carpets. Any issues with emptying the dirt bin or hair breaking or getting stuck on rollers etc? How is the maintenance? Does it auto detect when the on-board bin is full and go back to the base for a clean or does it keep cleaning but doing a poor job because the bin is full? Does the robot detect when the outside waste bin bag is full?

[@MrBlueCreeper]

I think it's time that I give a huge list for Roborock's Future Models! Roborock should add: -D Shape Robot -A new VibraRise with 2 very fast spinning mopping pads to where it can hide inside the robot when it detects carpets -Reactive AI3D, combining the twin AI Cameras and 3D Obstacle Avoidance for a true obstacle avoidance technology. -A base that Self-Washes the pad, Self-Dries the pad, fills the water tank, empties into a BAGLESS cyclone system, and has a touchscreen bar on the top. -A built-in voice assistant inside the robot so people don't need to buy one. Maybe call it Rocky. -At least 4000 PA Suction that exceeds 24 CFM Am I missing anything?

[@RobotMasters]

Well well you read my mind 😂, yes those are basically the features I am looking for too. Some other things would have the ability to transition up and down stairs, maybe have the ability to pickup small objects on the floor and place them in a designated area too!!!

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@@RobotMasters that would be cool! Maybe the robot will have a special dock that’s linked with the stair, or another company makes a robot elevator!

[@RobotMasters]

@@MrBlueCreeper Maybe some tank treads

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@@RobotMasters I totally forgot about that! Yeah ROBOROCK should do that too!

[@RobotMasters]

@@MrBlueCreeper Maybe if they use the same design as the iRobot Bomb disposal robot it could do that.

[@lolasmyth2551]

So extra with the chainsaws😂😂😂 I love it

[@RobotMasters]

Yes that right 🫠

[@shanew7361]

Can you use the vacuum only independently without running the mop and vice versa? Do you have to leave off the mop pad and water tank? When I originally set this up, should I install the mop pad and fill up the water tank?

[@RobotMasters]

So when you initially mao I recommend leaving the mopping pad off, you can leave the water tank in. As for using the mopping feature, I recommend washing and drying the mopping pad after use. If you have thin profile carpet and rugs than it should be fine to leave the pad on.

[@danyelcosta2678]

hello, but emptying station aside, the s6 maxv is not better and smarter ???

[@RobotMasters]

From my testing, I didn’t see a huge difference in navigation abilities. It did avoid smaller objects better and has the live camera feed option. As far as cleaning the S7 seemed to clean better on thicker carpets.

[@danyelcosta2678]

@@RobotMasters ok thanks :) but considering that I don't have carpets at home, only a very small one, and I don't need the self-emptying function, is the s6 vmax better there? what do you say ?

[@RobotMasters]

@@danyelcosta2678 The only reason to get the S6 MaxV is if you have a lot of obstacles or have a messy home. Some other options are the Roborock S4 or S5 Max, if you want to save a few hundred dollars and don’t necessarily need the extra features.

[@marcusgrande3875]

I have the S6 MaxV and I was in the same boat. I needed it only for hard floors and a low-pile rug. I could live without the bin on the hard floor. I'm pretty happy with the S6 MaxV. Great navigation, and the front-facing camera is a nice add-on if you're ok spending the extra. If you have indoor pets and pet waste then the AI object avoidance is definitely a plus that you won't get with the S7. Also if you're away from home it's kind of nice to use it to look around the house and make sure everything's ok. Can double as an indoor security cam. Also, if your hard floors are sensitive wood or some other sensitive material, you may need to be wary of the harder brush on the S7. I actually had a Roomba S9 that I was using on the hard floor and found it was scratching it. The harder rubber rollers would get dirty and were not liking the glossy finish we had put on the floor. We relegated the Roomba to the carpet areas (our house is 50/50 hard floor/carpet) and use the S6 for the hard floor. It has a softer brush and doesn't scratch. After my S9 experience I didn't want to take a chance with the S7 all-rubber brush. If you have tile floors you're probably fine either way. See Mr Roomboto for some videos on the harder rollers potentially scratching (he has a demo on the Roomba S9+ showing it scratch).

I agree with everything this guy says. He is almost as good as the Roborock S7 and that is because he has a Sparkles. Good video always!

[@vardagsteknik6576]

Do a Deebot T9+ vs S7+ when it comes to your region. I have T9+ and know what it can do. The osmo pro water cleaning system on T9+ is truely top notch like the robot it self.

[@jonnylee8538]

Nah, Ozmo Pro is not as practical as the one on S7 SuperSonic mopping. As S7 ones already integrated on the robot itself and can use washable mopping cloth to mop not just disposable ones. Ecovacs lacks of many features that other brands have. The app is sluggish.

[@bean9005]

fun fact there is a combo mop and vac irobot roomba in Europe

[@RobotMasters]

Oh I didn’t realize that, thanks for informing me 😀

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@@RobotMasters it’s called the iRobot Combo and it looks like an Ecovacs.

[@theattorney6072]

Hello, I have a question please. I have read on several forums that thé roborock s7 dis not provide enough water to the mop and that one has to prewet it before use. Is this issue still Real or was it adressed through a firmware update ? Thx

[@RobotMasters]

Well the water on the mop pad eventually comes out, takes awhile. So my recommendation is to have it mop the area at least 2 times, so it can insure good coverage.

[@crayzieap]

Can you provide a link that has the replacement bagless canister? It's so stupid the US has the bag only model.

[@Cali_Oasis_Garden]

Hi, do you like Deebot OZMO Pro Mopping or S7 Mopping system better? Thank you

[@RobotMasters]

The Roborock S7 did a better job

[@maxwellgrant7884]

How does it compare with the eufy x8 hybrid?

[@RobotMasters]

With my personal experience, I found the S7 to clean better the the X8. Also with the vibrating mopping system it did better at mopping. They are both priced similar if you compare the sale price of the S7. If you can find the X8 for $250 it could be a worthy purchase.

[@arevee9429]

Roborocks rule! I have an S4 and a Roomba i8 (Costco i7). The RR finishes the job much faster and doesn't slam into things like the Roomba does. Also, the RR is a lot quieter. I also have an iRobot M6 and am not impressed with its navigation abilities either. The ability for RR to navigate in low or low light is another advantage the Roborock has over the Roomba.

[@jjayguy23]

Same! I'm a believer now! Got rid of my Eufy G30 Edge for a Roborock S4 Maxx!!! Quite the upgrade!!!

[@danielhansson9810]

How does it compare with the Ecovacs T9+, or the Ecovacs T9 AIVI?

[@RobotMasters]

Hello, so the T9+ and T9 AIVI is great if you have messier home. The S7 does better at picking up things and mopping. I also found the self emptying system better on the S7.

[@danielhansson9810]

@@RobotMasters Great, thanks! I was actually leaning towards getting a T9+ instead of the S7 due to the fact of object detection. With small children you have a lot of toys laying around, and in all the videos I've seen it seems like the S7 doesn't care about it. What's your opinion? Also, do you know if the T9 lifts the mop on carpets, or how does it work compared to the S7?

[@RobotMasters]

@@danielhansson9810 So the To can't physically lift it mopping pad. So yes for a house with children and lots toys the T9 better

Agree that it's a good value. I had a first gen and it wasn't great at navigating, but it did a decent job and was worth it considering the low price.

Hey Nathan, great video. Love your reviews and the effort you put into them. I'm very keen to get a Roborock S7 but one thing that concerns me is the availability of genuine parts like filter replacements. I'm in the UK and it seems pretty difficult to find genuine filter replacements. I have a Xiaomi Mi Robot vacuum cleaner (I believe this is considered a gen 1 Roborock). I cannot find anywhere genuine filters. I ordered some filters from Aliexpress but what I received were inferior quality 3rd party filters. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[@RobotMasters]

Hello check Amazon, or Roborock website. Almost all the models have a universal filter minus the S7. As for the S7 the availability of accessories come and go. It a high demand product right now so it may be hard to find filters.

[@mil3761]

@@RobotMasters unfortunately, Amazon UK does not stock the robot or the genuine parts, I can only find a bunch of 3rd party filters from other sellers via Amazon. Roborock doesn't seem to sell outside of the US. Any online locations that you know of that ship internationally?

Deebot is coming back with more revolutionary technology, and the Deebot X1 might be the Roborock G10 killer! The Deebot X1 Omni is vacuuming and mopping robot. It has the biggest base you'll ever see! This base Auto-Fills the water tank, cleans the mop, and empties the bin! It has AIVI 3D, so it combines the camera and 3D obstacle avoidance. It's available in China. Roborock, I think you need to step up your game. Add a Self-Emptying option, add a touchscreen to the base, and combine the Reactive AI and Reactive 3D Technology!
