3:46 wow what a good pet owner getting ur cat a new box :D

[@hensonm]

Perfection!!! Right on cue!! 😂

[@hensonm]

But in all seriousness - adorably surprised kitty notwithstanding - I came here because I’m desperately seeking a replacement for my old iRobot Scooba. These versions with the pads, while “easier” just do not have the same cleaning horsepower of flooding the floor with clean water and then squeegeeing back up like the old Scooba, RIP. I wish that iRobot would just do 2 segments of products - 1 for those who don’t want to do any robot maintenance, and 1 for those who enjoy it because of the absolutely amazing results. Here’s hoping that you do a full review of the Shinebot by iLife, because it’s the only one I’ve found that functions with the clean/dirty tanks like the Scooba. (PS - I think this endless pursuit of one machine that can do everything is madness. They end up doing nothing super well.) Thanks for all the amazing info, camera shots and dedication - as always! And give that kitty a pet for me 😂❤

[@MrGovmentCheez]

I have what I believe to be a fun idea. I think you should review 3m xtract portable dust Extractor. It is actually designed for dust extraction for woodworking but it can be used as a vacuum. It's a canister vac that apparently has a vibrating filter to eliminate caking. Absolutely Wild. Never heard of that before. Love the channel keep up the good work

[@bdubs85]

I think it would be useful to add some reviews for vacuum/mop combos, such as the Roomba j7/m6, Dreame Z10/W10 and the like and how they perform overall versus all in one devices.

[@axion8788]

Great info, as usual. A comprehensive test of its mapping and navigation would be very helpful.

[@DavidMeggers]

I like to believe you have one of the cleanest houses anywhere given all the tests you run, and then only use the best vacuums available based on the results🙂. Excellent review, thanks.

[@VacuumWars]

Thank you!

[@CRAFT2847WITCH]

iRobot really are slacking in the robot mop and vacuum game. I don’t understand why iRobot don’t bring a roomba s10 out which has the power of the s9 or more and also has a mop function where it sprays water but also has rotating brushes? Oh and a clean base which would self clean the pads & dry them. Also a tank so it could fill up and go back to the job if need be. I just don’t understand why iRobot wouldn’t do this? It seems the robots are getting worse. Bring back the scooba also. Nothing cleans like the 450! Big love guys

Coming here from the cortex podcast... It's hilariously amazing, thanks for the reviews!

[@VacuumWars]

Welcome!

[@foreverlearning9613]

Thanks for the review. I have the iRobot S9 and M6. The S9 have been a total workhorse but M6 has been continual headache in having it map my condo properly. The challenge is all the transition strips and the fact I have mostly hardwood/marble/tile with a four large area rugs of various thicknesses. The M6 rides up to the rugs and gets stuck, or it goes in confusing routes. I have tried to reset the unit and redo the map a number of times but no success. I had been looking for iRobot to do a combo unit but after looking at your review and how the moisture gets into the unit and dust bin, it will be a hard no. I have three hairy cats and the condo has a lot of dust and dander. No way I will be getting a machine that I will have to continuously dig out wet fur. I wish they can make improvements on the M6, bigger wheels to go pass the transition strips and maybe even be able to use one map between the vac and the mop.

[@LaneGandy]

I'm hoping Roomba updates their mop line of robots. I'd personally rather have a dedicated mop vacuum as a robot focused on mopping should do the job much better than a combo unit. It could also have a clean base that is dedicated to cleaning and refilling the mop.

[@myvidsboy]

there is already a brava series that irobot made for only mops

[@TutorialClan]

@@myvidsboy By update I assume what she or he means is actually having a clean base for the mop. I don't mind having a dedicated mop I just don't like having to do daily maintenance to be able to mop

[@toucanroombas]

Bring. Back. SCOOBA!!

[@adamanderson7761]

Definitely. Dedicated device (no vacuum constraints to get in the way), so potential for a larger reservoir and better mopping hardware. Plus from a battery-life standpoint you have two devices, so you're not worrying about mopping not getting done because it ran out of battery after vacuuming. Not to mention you can have one device vacuuming while the other mops (so ideally jobs get done faster). I really hope they come out with something similar to the j7+ (dedicated vacuum) that's a mopping robot.

[@s.maire.76]

The dual roller has already been a feature for some time now as we already have that. I'm curious about the pad? I'm guessing the pad is always up until it gets to the mopping mode? If that's the case then we can more easily change the pad after each use unlike the irobot mopping counterpat. Curious what the fail rate is if the mop arms mechanism us and what the cost of that repair would be or would you game to get a new unit? Does the subscription cover any of these repairs or maintenance?

[@Tjorriemorrie]

Would love a comparison of hardfloor/tiles only vacuum robots - where you get the best value for mopping per price.

[@Randy_Gentry]

Thank you for your work on this review.

[@VacuumWars]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@theFerraridkid]

I literally just placed my Order for my Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, then 11 minutes later this dropped on youtube... I really hope a comparison video comes out soon!

[@north_by_midwest]

You'll love your S7 MaxV Ultra. The pad cleaning and auto refill on the ultra dock is a game changer on top of the generally better mapping and navigation. The Roomba pad lifting mechanism is better for more plush carpets, but I don't see that alone being a reason to prefer this if you have money for the Roborock.

[@AdamsReviews]

Def stay with the roborock...MUCH better overall

[@transammatt]

You definitely made the right decision, I was an iRobot fan for years switch to Roborock and will not go back!

[@the_frogbot8673]

You’ll love it! I’m an iRobot fan myself because of the unmatched cleaning performance, but you can’t beat the smarts and navigation of a Roborock. Enjoy your purchase!

How does it compare to the dedicated M6? (curious as I have a regular J7+ and an M6) Thanks for the great reviews :)

[@mr.blaabjerg9548]

I really love your vidoes, and I enjoy them every week all the way from Denmark :). When will the "top 5 Best Robot Vacuums 2022" be released?

[@Andysaid420]

I have 2 S9+... I think I'll wait until they so something with that model for a combo feature, before stepping down to a 7 with the addition of a spray type swiffer. S9+ is best for vacuuming. Afterwards I can do a more thorough swiffering in less time, considering grooves in wood, or grout in tile.

[@wetham8667]

Can you test out sharp air purifiers & their plasmacluster technology? (They are different from regular ionic air purifiers)

[@93836]

I’ve been using a Roomba j7+ to vacuum my entire upstairs for 8 months. It’s fantastic. Our white carpet still looks flawless. And I’m able to completely forget about the Roomba for weeks at a time. It just takes care of itself. And the “Clean Base” bag goes for more like 3 or 4 months in our house.

[@varunrn]

How about just the hard floors? How effective is it?

[@CoolTies]

Is it better than the non-combo J7+ and Braavo M6 combination? That's what I'm using now. Leaves tire tracks which is my only issue.

I saw this on iRobots website a few days ago and was waiting for a review from my most trusted reviewer on KZbin 😁 👍

[@VacuumWars]

Glad I could help!

[@RayTheFPSGamer]

@@VacuumWars I bought one of Amazon NL with an amazing deal last week. For some reason they put it up for €699 while every other webshop has it for sale for €999. That's a 30% discount 😅 Strangely enough Amazon NL didn't say that €699 was a discount price, it just showed it as the regular price. Three days later they changed the price back to €999. I'm happy with the robot so far! It's more quiet when cleaning than my Neato D7 (except for the fighter jet self cleaning base at the end of a run), cleans well, the app is full of useful features. I have noticed though that this robot doesn't seem to use it's camera for anything other than obstacle recognition like cables and slippers. I mean, it will bump into every large furniture or object in my room and use its bumper to realize it's bumping into a solid non-movable object. This does mean that it will go through for example a bed sheet that's almost touching the floor while hanging on a drying rack to clean underneath the drying rack which is nice, my Neato D7 with it's LIDAR system would think the bedsheet was a solid object and would not go through the bedsheet. So I'm guessing it's only using the bumpers and floor scanner underneath to figure out the layout of the room.

[@maustin4854]

Hi @vacuum wars. As always thank you for another great review. Would you suggest getting the Braava Jet M6 with the Roomba J7+ instead of the Roomba Combo J7+ and have separate untils. One for vacuuming and one for mopping?

[@Michael-jg5de]

Depends if you have pets. Although the J7+ and S9 share maps, unfortunately they don't share avoidance so the J7+/S9 is going to avoid the poop and the M6 is going to mop that shit all over your floors. Based on my research at the moment the best mop is maybe the Ecovacs Omni. It's not great at vacuuming, so I'd still go maybe for a combo unless I had no carpet. Irobot is pretty terrible mops (even the combi), no self cleaning mop and also no vibration or scrubbing on the mop. It's basically dragging around a cloth on your floor. +1 for raising the head over and locking it inside so there is no leakage onto the carpet, but considering the dirt on the rollers, I'd not trust the combo leaving marks after it's mopped (which is likely why it vacuums first) unless you clean it after every run. irobot is just playing catch up and missing out on features, which is after all these years they release a combo with no improvements on a sub-par mopping robot like the M6.

[@Crankyoldbastard1776]

Is it able to avoid puddles? If for example you have a dog that is selectively house broken?

[@emilybism]

I’m waiting on a non-combo update from Roomba. I’m hoping they combine the suction of the S9 with the intelligence of the J7 in their next release.

[@myvidsboy]

there is already a j7 (Not j7+) vacum only unit you can buy for $300 cheaper.

[@techboy95]

It would be incredible if you could also review the Roborock Q7 Max+. This robot especially looks like a great buy with Black Friday deals and there are reviews on KZbin, but none seem to be as comprehensive as the vacuum wars testing methodology.

Thanks for another great video. I’m looking forward to seeing you pit it against the Roborock. That last part where you showed the rollers getting wet/contaminated might be solved by running the vacuum and mop operations in separate days to allow the time for the mop to dry out. I did laugh when your cat fell into the box, I knew that was going to happen 😂

I can’t wait for robo vacuum five years from now They’d all have moving pads that won’t get on carpet while they vacuum all with empty/fill/self cleaning docs Maybe a directional sense (or a way to set one) so that way it can go “with the grain” on hardwood floors And get into corners better

[@wigglywrigglydoo]

So a dyson is not in the recommended list of Cordless at all?

[@WarpedTrekker]

I think they need to come out with another mop only successor to the M6. Add the front camera of J7+ and vibration mop pad. Plus have it lift as well. With my M6, I had to remove all the transitions in my house, and just put down black Gorilla tape for the M6 to go over. Even then the M6 likes to ram into corners and things. Even my J7+ for some reason always likes to touch corners when it goes around them and bumps them, instead of clearly avoiding them when going back home. I've tried mapping a dozen times and over a dozen runs and the J7+ still loves to touch up against corners, and lights it light. Like it's still trying to learn.

I have a Roomba S9+ vacuum robot. Does the job in my house. Was looking for a Braava, to mop. I have several thresholds, one allmost 1" tall. The Braava would not climb those, while the S9+ has no problem. What will the J7+ combo do? Will it climb whatever the S9+ was climbing, but as soon as I send it to mop stop like the Braava? This is what I would have liked for you to test. Will a mop setting change this robot's climbing setting. Or maybe it will climb like a Roomba and then move to mop? Does it maybe get stuck, because it won't know what to do, if it encounters a high threshold, while mopping? I mean, this combo robot could be the answer for me, but I need to know what it does with thresholds. How does the vacuum suction compare with the S9+? Thanks for the great review otherwise.

That can be fixed with an update. Everything else the Roborock is leagues better. Hope that helps.

Roborock is leaps and bounds better than iRobot. Trust me I’ve owned 9 different robot vacuums.

It would be interesting to see how this performs against the M6. I've been looking at Dreame and Ecovacs for the spinning mop design, but I prefer (trust) iRobot as a company.

[@ncastroclan]

I highly recommend looking into getting a Narwal. They are the first company to make the worlds first self cleaning robot mop and they just released the new Freo which I'm gonna get on a black Friday sale

[@Tommyownzz]

iRobot fell behind few years ago. This is the result. Old tech

[@directionlessvelocity]

@Tommyownzz Not as much as Neato. I don’t think you’ve heard of them in the past 2 years, right?

[@amentco8445]

@@Tommyownzz Yep. Stopped trusting them after trying out their highest end model, and it flopped.

Due to the review by Vacuum Wars, we purchased a Roborock Ultra S7 a few months ago and have been very pleased so far. Mopping on our light gray tile kitchen floors has to be mopped on the highest setting but does a good job. One note, we have mostly hard floors with some rugs. We love how the mop raises for rugs, the auto-mop cleaning, and how all 3 bins work for fresh water, dirty water, and bagging the dirt!

Thanks for sharing! So glad to have helped!

[@yourmagicfilm]

how do you deal with the smell of death out of the dirty water bin? We've had luck putting vinegar in it, about 1/8 cup every time to stop the mold growth.

[@NadeemAhmed-nv2br]

@@yourmagicfilm you probably have a defective unit because the Rubber seal on that thing is so good that even if I don't empty it out for 3 weeks, I and everybody else in the house can't smell a thing. I'd recommend getting your Rubber seal checked out and possibly getting the dirty water bin replaced

[@lukeclifton4392]

@@yourmagicfilm 😳😳As another fella said… the seals are so good you shouldn’t be able to smell a thing. But also on another note… are you just using water? or are you using a cleaner?!! Mine smells fresh AF when I empty it every week🤷‍♂️

[@yourmagicfilm]

It only smells when I empty it, not when it’s just sitting there, so the rubber seals are good. But the moment we open it, it’s horrifying. I’ve looked into it and I am not the only one with this experience, many others have this “death smell”. It’s defeated with vinegar sitting in there each and every time, otherwise the bacteria builds up somehow in there.
