Have had my Roborock s7 plus for about a week now. It's awesome actually does a really nice job of vacuuming my carpet. I wasn't able to connect the Roborock app to the robot so I called customer service and they told me to install the MI Home app and it works and connected just fine and no loss of features or functions.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Good to hear you are able to connect it now. I also think it's one of the best on the market for now.

[@direwolf3972]

Very nice, I like that you took the time to measure how much the robots pick up.. It makes a big difference compared to some other reviewers. I probably will get this model though I cant see myself using the mop since we have all hardwood. Thank you and princess for the review

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thank you very much :) Princess appreciates a lot too. I have never used mopping before I got the S6 MaxV. Now the robot vacuums and mops at the same time every cleaning cycle

[@PRT976]

This review gives me very useful insights, even covers much more metrics than I expected when I started looking at Robot cleaners. Awesome work!

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thanks for watching :)

[@DaveQV]

I think that the most impactful update, apart the VibraRise system, it's the new dustbin with HEPA filter located at the top.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Yeah, I have no proof the filter position of the S7 influences cleaning performance, but theoretically, it should not block airflow when the dustbin is half-full and the filter should be not as clogged as in previous models.

[@DaveQV]

@@SmartRobotReviews If possible, could youtry to compare half or totally full dustbin suction performance between S7 and S6 maxV/S5 Max? Thank you!

[@SmartRobotReviews]

@@DaveQV Thanks for the idea, maybe I'll make some tests to show the difference.

[@sbomorse]

The fact it now cleans in hatch markings will make a huge difference to it's pick up abilities. Even if I run my Roborock S4 several times it only ever cleans in straight lines.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Do you mean a criss-cross cleaning pattern? I've heard other Roborock models start receiving a firmware update with the criss-cross support, hope the S4 will get this update as well.

[@RobotMasters]

Hi my Robot KZbinr friend 🤗. Every time I see your videos they just keep getting better and better. I was shocked that the S7 didn’t perform well with the hair pickup 😮. I ran the S7 through my entire house and looked at the extractor bar. Didn’t notice any hair in the middle, just the ends. Very similar to the iRobots extractor bar design. So I conclude that it either may of not picked up the hair or it pushed the hair underneath my couch. I don’t dare to look under there!!! I hope the best, and I just have one complaint about your video. I demand to see more of your cute CAT in the video. We all know Buttercup is the real STAR ⭐️

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Why do you think I adopted her? So she makes my videos much better haha. Thanks, Nate, appreciate a lot. But yes, with hair it does not do very well but when running it around the house, most hair got right into the dustbin so for me, not a big difference. The robot picks it up and I'm okay with that lol.

Are u doing the test on a brand new carpet? Cos if your putting 100g of dirt on an old carpet then there’s probably already in the carpet that will skew your result.

[@HongkeyKong]

Thank you for a great review. I have question. When on the medium (or high) pile carpet, I understand that the mop will still touch the carpet. But does the carpet actually get wet because of it?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I'm glad you like it! Yeah, a medium pile carpet will be a bit wet, but not as wet as it would with other robots that can't lift the mop. So it's still kind of better than other models.

The only thing I really am interested in, how on earth does an auto empty system work with it. I can't see any panels or anything that get removed on the underside, unless the whole panel comes off?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I guess it will use the roller brush port for this purpose. Maybe the roller brush will spin in the opposite direction and an air inlet in the dustbin will blow away the dirt from the bin back to the brush port.

[@ratcliffe1992]

@@SmartRobotReviews that would be quite an interesting way of emptying, if it's this case then I can be sure it will be the best auto empty dock yet. Won't have the same issues as the other ones if they get too full and then don't suck out the pet hair and dust

[@pajulis]

Hello, you have good videos mainly a wide range of robotic vacuum cleaners, I can question please consider among these robotic vacuum cleaners, roborock s7, dreame L10, 360 s8, 360 s9 which one would you recommend?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi there, I prefer the Roborock S7 but it has issues with picking up pet ans human hair on carpet because of the main brush that does not have bristles. Since I don't have carpets, I really like the S7. I have never tested the 380 S8 so I can't recommend it. The Dreame L10 has object recognition, a feature missing in the 360 S9 so in terms of navigation the Dreame is better. Again, the Roborock S7 also lacks it, so if you are looking for something with more advanced navigation, probably the Dreame it is.

[@pajulis]

@@SmartRobotReviews thank you very much for your opinion, you can see that you know, I like the most roborock 7 we have floors and small carpets everywhere and one room with carpet, prophet I am skeptical but I predominate floors therefore s7 or the 360 s8 due to water tanks but best according to videos wiping me the best roborock but again dreame is very handy and I like the suction performance and the floors are not bad either, I will take your advice and by having your more floors so wins roborock s7 thank you very much for your opinion and experience with which you like share and advise

[@Diego-1]

Did you think it's worth-it upgrade from the Roborock S5 Max or is better to wait for the Roborock S7 MaxV?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Maybe if you need the self-empty base support or if you need a second device. No doubt the new features are cool, but not sure if you should buy a new robot while the S5 Max still works and doing a decent job.

[@Diego-1]

[@theagarcia9610]

This is a great review! The only thing that concerns me is what will happen if it encounters dog poop. I have two Chihuahuas that occasionally have accidents.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Well in this case the dog's poop will definitely be spreading all over your place :) The Roborock S6 MaxV and ECOVACS DEEBOT T8 AIVI have an on-board camera for such purposes but I would still keep an eye on the accidents anyway...

[@romanbitenc]

As usual the best review. I really love your work. You are the best. Question; Can the main brush be placed in S5max and S6maxV? P.S. I'm still waiting for the cat review. 😁

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thank you for the kind words! The main brush kind of fits my S6 MaxV, but two metal things on the brush cover deforming the rubber brush, so probably it will not work and damage the brush (check the photo: i.imgur.com/wWeKwL1.jpg). I didn't try to use the S6 MaxV with the new brush though.

[@jamie.andrews]

Good job! I love your cat! Just beautiful! It will be interesting to see how the mop clears my carpet. Also, it appears as if they plan to suck the debris back past the brush roller when they release the large extraction dust bin. This is odd.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I know right. Thanks, my 🐈 still doesn't feel comfortable enough next to the robots tho. As to your carpet it depends on the thickness but still better than nothing.

[@user-lz5vh9bb5w]

Thank you so much for the 10.1 cm gap check! I'm going to get the S7 but I couldn't find any info any where on what gaps it can get under. Now I know. :)

Glad it helped you ☺️

[@MrRoombato]

Do a floor scratching test! All you need is a piece of plexiglass. I'm going to wait for the S7 maxv but I want to know now! :) To do the test, you let the robot clean your home for a week or so without cleaning the brush, then run it around on a piece of plexiglass and look at the marks it leaves. If it's just a few hairline scratches, it's fine. If it leaves skid marks, then you have a problem.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Great idea, thanks! I saw you doing such a test and you are actually the only person who has. If I find plexiglass I'll definitely make one.

Hi there, the robot can do vacuuming or vacuuming & mopping at the same time. And no, the detergent might clog the pump so the manufacturer does not recommend adding one.

Very nice review.. help me a lot to decide which robot to buy accordance with my needs.. wonder if we dont use the mop, only vacuum option, can it still recognise the carpet.. tks Greetings from Indonesia 😉

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi, glad you like the video! Yes, it will still recognize carpets if you don't use the mop, it boosts suction to the max (if you run it in quiet or standard mode) when detecting a carpet and automatically returns to the standard mode when on a hard floor.

[@just4therecord]

I read some ppl says that the new rubber brush scratches the floor. How true is that? Thanks

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I've seen such comments from other ppl, but I didn't notice that. On my laminate floors, I would hardly notice any scratches. Maybe it depends on the floor type like some glossy floors where any marks and small scratches are visible. Or maybe those who claim about scratches never took a close look at their floor until they buy a robot vacuum, so they decided that the scratches were left by the robot.

[@susiesee4289]

Bought one a year ago and charging dock died before the year was out. My mother’s house has one and within 4 months, it could not mop anymore. When it works, it’s great but very disappointing that they have issues so quickly.

[@lucasignorelli155]

Thanks for your wonderful review (and your lovely cat!). One question: is it possible to use the S7 on more floors without moving the base? Many thanks!

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi Luca thanks. 🐈 says meow too 😁. Yes, the S7 supports up to 4 floor plans so you can start the robot upstairs without the base, it cleans there, creates a map when finishes the job and you have a second map saved. No need to move the station ☺️

[@lucasignorelli155]

Thanks so much for your fast and precise answer! 😊 Have a good day and say Meow Meeoww to 🐈 🥰

[@isoplayers]

I personally think that those before/after's are a little misleading because the vacuum has to vacuum the area twice to pick everything up. In the real world, it wouldn't vacuum the entire house twice or you wouldn't let it do so right I'd assume?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Yes but at the same time, in the real world you probably don't have as many dried stains too right? My home is no carpets and my main robot vacuum is the S6 MaxV. The mopping attachments are always on so it mops the floors every day. Yes, it might not remove stubborn stains but it leaves my floors mopped without me being involved so I'm totally down for having one of these.

[@XiaomiGadgetsGuide]

Awesome video!! Question: If there's sand on the ground.. will the combination sand+ laminate+ Rubber brush scratch the surface?

[@uglyduckling81]

I've got a house that's all white tiles so it's looks dirty about 2 seconds after I mop it with 2 kids and a huge dog running in and out. I've had 3 robot vacuums so far but this mop and vacuum looks good. Do you think the changes between the S6 V5 are really substantial compared to the S7? I noticed the S6 is on a sale through Roborock right now in Australia. Wondering if the S7 would be worth waiting for when considering the price increase and the fact I don't have carpets to require that lifting pad feature?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi there, the S7 has an electronic water tank so you can control water flow. The S6 has a toggle but the S5 Max, S6 MaxV and S7 system in my opinion is better. Ie having a water tank and a mopping pad separately makes the robot perform better. In addition, the S7 is compatible with a self-emptying bin. And also has a rubber brush that does the job better agitating debris on carpets and hard floors. In my tests, the S7 showed one of the best cleaning results. So it's really up to you which one to get. Maybe you wouldn't notice the difference between the two on a daily basis but maybe you'd want those extra features the S7 offers.

[@cpg1168]

Well done! Only one question: does it also suck in while washing with vibration?

Yes, but in the "deep mopping mode" suction automatically reduced. In the standard mopping mode, you can select suction level.

Hi there, those are devices made for different purposes. The S6 MaxV has a better navigation and object avoidance. In fact, one of the best on the market. It does make a difference if you have things laying on the floor most of the time like shoes, socks, etc. The S7 is better as a mop. It is ideal for homes with a mixed surface as you don't have to worry about setting no-mop zones or having your carpets mopped, The S7 is basically a significant upgrade in a hybrid robot vacuum world.

Hi Jenny, thank you! My most favorite mop and vacuum would probably be either the Roborock S7 or 360 S10. The first is convenient to use in homes with mixed surfaces as it lifts up the mopping pad on carpets, the second avoids carpets in mopping mode automatically but you have to vacuum the carpets separately as it avoids them altogether.

The Xiaomi 1C is a great robot for the price but can not be compared with the S7 as this is a top-notch model. As to vacuuming performance those two are equally good but as a mop the S7 is sure better. Also it is ideal for homes with a mixed surface and has more features. But the Xiaomi 1C is a really great device, one of my favorite actually. For the price. It has a smaller battery tho so I do not recommend it for big homes.

[@shanew7361]

Looking at this and the Shark ai robot self emptying vacuum cleaner. Suggestion on best robot vacuum to buy? Eccovacs look interesting too. 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?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I now have two cats and maintenance is really important to me. Much easier to clean the rubber roller to me compared to a standard bristled one. I don't have a self-emptying bin but I hear this one is fire so I would definitely trade my Roborock S6 MaxV for this one with a self-emptying bin as a pet owner. Haven't noticed anything crucial about hair getting stuck, nothing that would make it deal-breaker for me at leas (I have long hair, this is essential). The Roborock shows one of the best cleaning results and I do think this is one of the best robots for now even tho it doesn't have object recognition.

Great review!

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thank you😊

[@AwesomelyAwesomeO]

Just wondering why does the new vacuums only come with 1 sided brush instead of both sides. Isn't both sides more efficient?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I guess the main benefit of the side brushes is the ability to clean along the walls and in corners. From my experience, two brushes scatter debris too much, so maybe some manufacturers decided that one side brush is a better design choice. Robots with one side brush always clean along the wall only in a counterclockwise direction, so the brush can clean along the walls and corners.

The S7 brush fits to older models, but it will not work since it is a bit smaller in diameter and the metal bars on the brush cover will destroy the brush (check this photo: i.imgur.com/wWeKwL1.jpg)

Mine is 5000sft home . If I have to run vaccume n mop fir the whole house .. how often will I have to empty the dust collecting bin ..how will I know when to empty??

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Not sure, it's a large house for any robot vacuum and the Roborock S7 will not be able to finish the job on one charge. I guess you'll need to empty the dustbin after each usage.

​@@SmartRobotReviews it's been a while since you've posted. I've seen the new Roborock T7S Plus and have gone all over it. I have mostly gone over the new Reactive 3D and Self-Emptying base. Here is some more info about the Self-Emptying base: -The Self-Emptying base has 4 settings: Intelligent, Come on come on, Daily, and Super Strong. The intelligent option predicts the dust box's status and whether it is full or not (note: It doesn't have a bin full sensor. It just relies on predictions). The Come on Come on option is the light option. It states that residue will be left in the bin. The Daily option is best for daily usage. It produces the right amount of airflow in the bin to suck up daily debris. The super-strong option is very strong and can suck up most, if not all of the debris in the bin. -It does suck through the brush roll! -It requires a special dust box. Here is a video on the Self-Emptying base in action: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3WYfGSJapuhd6s

[@hueynguyen85]

would the rubber main brush work with other models or just the S7?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

The main brush kind of fits my S6 MaxV, but two metal things on the brush cover deforming the rubber brush, so probably it will not work and damage the brush (check the photo: i.imgur.com/wWeKwL1.jpg). I didn't try to use the S6 MaxV with the new brush though.

[@TypicalBlox]

No, I asked roborock on twitter when it was first announced and they said it wasn't designed to work with older models, same with self empty bin. What a shame.

My floors are hard, no carpets, I have 2 girls and a dog that loose enough hair to knit a sweater everyday. Would this machine be better at picking up hair on hard floors?

Yes, I have a cat (you might have noticed). When I run the S7 around the house it picked up her hair with no issue. I didn't notice worse performance compared to other models. Yes, it doesn't do as well with hair on carpet, but on hard floors I didn't notice any issues. + I have long hair myself too. No problem so far

What is the minimum height that it can go underneath and clean? Asking for the bed, it has 9.5cm space underneath. I'm trying to understand if it can pass through?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

There should be at least 10.5cm gap under, so it will not fit under your bed, unfortunately.

[@nicolasmayer618]

S6 MaxV or S7, what do you prefer?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Depends on what you are looking for. The S6 MaxV is better if you have many small objects on the floor. I personally do not spend as much time removing things off the floor with the S6 MaxV. The S7 is absolutely best for a mixed surface. If you want the carpet to be vacuumed and the hard floors to be mopped. It is also really good if you have no carpets at all. And it supports a self-emptying bin which is ideal for pet owners. So it really depends on what you are looking for in your robot vacuum..

[@nicolasmayer618]

@@SmartRobotReviews a little bit off topic. Which do you personally prefer?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

My main robot vacuum right now is the S6 MaxV, not because it is better than the S7, but just because I got used to it and want to see how the object recognition technology improves over time with new firmware updates. But regarding the vacuuming and mopping performance, no doubt the S7 is better.

[@khmarigold]

How will the S7 do on bath mats or small lightweight rugs? Will it get them bunched up, or will it vacuum them effectively? Will it go between mopping the hard bathroom floor and vacuuming bath mats?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi there, I have a rubber bathroom mat but so far didn't notice any issues with it. Might drag it around for a bit but rarely. There are three options tho: avoid, rise and ignore. That means the robot might ignore the carpet altogether, rise the pad on carpets or go over the carpet with the pad not being lifted. But overall the robot is gentle with small rugs. I have only a rubber mat so I can't say for sure about other types of small rugs.

[@just4therecord]

Can the rubber brush be replace with the old version?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

The old brush is a few millimeters bigger in diameter so it barely fits into the S7 port and doesn't spin.

[@just4therecord]

@@SmartRobotReviews I think this silicone brush is more for carpets. I have hard flooring so a brush would be better suited. Thanks fir your test 👍🏻. I watch the video again, it seems to do great on hard floors too. I'm now interested in the S7 😅

[@dionedofreitas2851]

Hello. Please clear my doubts. My roborock s7, when I get close to the bed, because of the shadow it makes on the floor, in the app, it appears as if it were a wall. Has anything like this ever happened to you? If there is a room in my house outside the first mapping, can I later include it in the saved map?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi, if the gap under the bed is low, like close to 10-12cm, the Lidar laser beam might be reflected from the bed surface and it will appear on the map as a wall. It should not be a problem, at least if the robot still manages to fit and clean under the bed. Regarding the new room, I think the robot should recognize it on its own next time you start a full cleaning cycle.

Awesome video!! ....i am thinking of getting this one - but how does the navigation compare to s6 maxv with obstacle avoidance? Will it be fine if there are obstacles with the s7? And will it figure out to move around them? :)

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Thanks. The navigation of the S7 and S5 Max is the same. Yes, they both recognize big objects and avoid them but as to smaller things like socks or shoes they might not be as careful around. The S6 MaxV is obviously better since it has a camera. But if mopping is more important to you, consider getting the S7. The S6 MaxV tho is better if you do not want to remove things before cleaning but nothing is perfect, the S6 MaxV also has chances to get stuck on things.

[@shukuleit]

For someone with laminate wood floors, does this roborock scratches them? What about moping? Ive searched and what i read was not to steam clean or use a regular mop on such floors. I’m also curious if you use one on day to day basis. 😭

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I have laminate floors and I didn't notice any scratches. I use the mopping function every time I use the robot, almost every day or at least a few times per week. So far I don't have any issues with the laminate floor. But my main device is the Roborock S6 MaxV, it is not as good as the S7 in mopping and vacuuming performance, but I like that it can avoid small objects and I get used to it.

[@shukuleit]

@@SmartRobotReviews Thank you for the info! I really appreciate you replying. I think I will go with S6 or S7. In terms of cost, S6 is probably cheaper than S7.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Yes, the S6 is noticeably cheaper, but I would not recommend it if you plan to use the mopping feature. The S6 uses a gravity-controlled water tank, so you can't adjust the water flow in the app and it may leak when charging on the dock with the mopping pad attached. Some newer models like the S5 Max, S6 MaxV, and S7 has an electronic water tank meaning that the water flow is controlled by a water pump, it doesn't leak, you can adjust the water in the app, and these models have larger water tank.

[@laserprint2275]

Is the 1.8 cm maximal height that roborock s7 overcomes? I have u shaped legs on my chair 2 cm high that i hope it will avoid and not try to overcome all the time. And my second question: is 10.1 cm minimal height of the obstacle that robot goes under, since its height is 9.65 cm?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

According to Roborock, it can cross a 2cm obstacle, I just have only this 1.8cm plank so I tested the robot with it. Regarding the height, maybe it will go under a bit lower gap like 9.8 cm, not sure. But when it moves I think it's a bit higher than 9.65 cm because it slightly rises on the wheels. Also, obstacles lower than 10 cm usually reflect the laser beam from Lidar, so the robot knows there is an obstacle and doesn't go closer even though it may not trigger the front bumper.

[@laserprint2275]

​@@SmartRobotReviews So, if i understood you correctly, since have furniture that has 10 cm high gap underneath, and i want my robot to clean under, you would not recomend Roborock S7?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

I'm not sure if a 10cm gap will be an issue for the S7. Maybe it will go under it, maybe not. Something lower will be a robot vacuum without Lidar which is definitely not as good in navigation efficiency as the Roborock S7, so it depends if you are ready to trade off great Lidar navigation or clean under the furniture manually once in a while. There are some models with a hidden in the body Lidar, for example, the 360 S10 or Neabot Q11, they are lower than 9cm and even have such a nice feature as object avoidance (can avoid small objects like socks, cables, etc.) which the S7 lacks. But in terms of build quality, customer support, software quality, the Roborock wins for sure, not even mention that it has a better mopping with a vibrating mop, lifts the mop on carpets, and supports an auto-empty base.

[@Eagle-Striker]

Hi there. Now that you had 3 months with the S7, is it worth upgrading from the S6? Besides improvement in the mopping system (and carpet detection) are there any improvements in lidar sensitivity and navigation? Is it better than the 3D mapping 360 S10?

[@SmartRobotReviews]

Hi there, I don't use it as much, my main device is still the Roborock S6 MaxV. I would say that the S7 is as good at navigation in a more or less minimalist home. I don't think there are any improvements in lidar sensitivity for the S7 compared to saying the S5 Max. I like the way a Roborock navigates, it is smooth compared to most robots out there. In a day-to-day cleaning, there is no much of a difference between the two. The 360 S10 has object recognition but sometimes tends to hit an obstacle for too long when a Roborock would already find its way through. I like the hidden Lidar tho. As to upgrading, I don't know... On one hand, the S7 has a nice rubber brush and its performance is one of the best if not the best among all robots I've tested even a Roomba i3+. Besides, it is compatible with a self-emptying bin so if you are waiting for one, there is probably a reason to. But on a day-to-day basis, I wouldn't say there is much of a difference between the two. Mopping is a bit better in my opinion tho.

[@Eagle-Striker]

@@SmartRobotReviews Thanks. Is the S7's new rubber brush ideal for hardwood? My floors are all hardwood. I stopped testing robots thus might just stick to my S6.

[@SmartRobotReviews]

@@Eagle-Striker Idk to be honest. To me on a day-to-day basis, the results are more or less the same. I run the robot every day tho. Maybe if it cleans about once a week it would be more noticeable. Tho as someone with long hair I definitely prefer the rubber brush.
