@@RoyRacing185 I hear ya, however I like my floral area rugs with their black borders (other dark colors have the same issue). They bring some nice contrast to the dining and living room and I'm not sure I want to mess with the current spouse approval rating when it comes to decor(rather buy a product that addresses the problem)... It's also nice to see relatable content on KZbin, and what better way to improve products than to talk about their shortcomings. I have bought many products based on solid KZbin reviews and avoided others(Thanks Reed).

My last issue: - A dock equipped with whatever is required to auto-fill fresh water and auto-empty used water (e.g. placed next to the washing machine) Also: did I see that right: do they really use disposable bags (non-reusable) in the dock? That's also a no-go right there. Almost, Roborock, aaaalmost! 😊

@@hiphopy1000 It's the water change kit accessory for the S7 MaxV Ultra dock. I believe it was only sold in China so I got mine off of AliExpress but I didn't see it for sale anymore possibly because the S7 is too old now. For the S8 it looks like you can just buy a tankless dock that only works when hooked up to a water supply, which is nice because without the tanks the S8 dock is a lot shorter and compact.

I own the Roborock S7 Max V and I will never get rid of it for one reason...bagless dock! These companies got away from bagless docks to make more money on bags. Robot vacuums are still requiring owners to spend a fortune on bags. 👎

@tychay 3 ай бұрын

You can usually get bags from 3rd parties that are very cheap. I don't know with robot vacuums (suction is low, bin is basically a bagless system), but bag'd cannister and uprights are flat out better than bagless system in suction and time between clearouts. I use bagless when my shopvac is in wetvac mode and on my stick vacuum, but if I need performance, I prefer bags. I'm happy with my old bag'd iRobot (the first model with a dock, before these came out) since swapping out the bag keeps the smell out without the need for a deep clean to places which are simply not cleanable. WIsh I could say the same for the dustbin on this old guy.

@Markus-jr6kv Ай бұрын

Ask any cleaning professional. They will use a vacuum with a bag. Emptying a bagless is a mess. And the tiny partickes that was cauhht by hepa is now spread around your house again.

@jfizzle Ай бұрын

@@Markus-jr6kv I think you're missing the point. It's all about size, convenience and money. You do realize that most high-end vacuums that are bagless have HEPA filters.

@Markus-jr6kv Ай бұрын

@@jfizzle HEPA does not matter in your bagless. First you HEPA filter dust into your vacuum, so fine particles can't escape. Then you open the bagless lid and empty it, exposing yourself to those fine particles again. For someone with dust allergy, that a disaster. There's a reason bags for vacuums was invented in the first place. and a bag is super cheap. Go ask in any subreddit/discord or other community that geek out about all kinds of vacuums. They all prefer bag designs.

@jfizzle Ай бұрын

@Markus-jr6kv Ok...Well, the world isn't moving backwards. Manufacturers have moved forward and are developing bagless 10 to 1. The world doesn't need more vacuum bags to fill up the landfills. I don't care about allergies. I don't have allergies and I empty my vacuum in the garage trash. You should work for Dyson and tell them their products are crap. You would go far with your deep knowledge of dust. Next

I love how most issues with cleaning robots (or any relatively new tech) are only suddenly visible in all those KZbin videos is when a new version of the product is ale to overcome. It was never really an issue, nobody takes about it, but now that this new model (by company that sponsored this very objective, independent video) can overcome it, oh turns out it was a nightmare. But everything is perfect now, with this new model. Until the next model comes, of course, and the cycle continues. You should never stop spending money on those things.

It's been mentioned many times. Most Asian Asians mop their homes every day, even twice everyday. Dreame has this function where you can assign the robot to rinse the mop pad multiple times according to room sizes/assigned rooms. Mopping with a dirty mop with dirty water is will just make the floors more dirty. Also, most invaluable, is the automated inlet and outlet piping where you'll only need to empty the dust bag every month and never worry about it.

@EsotericArctos 4 ай бұрын

I think this is a generalisation about "Asians" I know quite a number in my area who do not mop every day. For the ones that do mop mulitple times a day, they would likely be the ones that prefer to do it manually and not use a robot cleaner. There are other robot vacuum cleaners that can be plumbed into the mains water and drain, which solves the issue you have. You'd choose the correct robot vacuum cleaner for the situation you are in. Just do your research.

Uhhh my old roborock has cleared our over 1" kitchen to other areas "threshold" for years.. it just drove up and over, this is neat that its intentionally lifting up higher but never had issues. Excited for the new mops and brushes. Not excited for mandatory cameras on all the new robot vacuums, thats why i avoided roomba etc But how about a bagless vacuum dock station.. they sold some upgrades for old machines but nothing exists now? Not even on new expensive docks. Also whyyyu cant we tell it what rooms to start with or an order of rooms on "full " or even room selection.. it will do rooms in a weird order

@Artificial.Unintelligence 4 ай бұрын

Roborock should have function like the Dreame X30 where if u want just vacum without mop the robot should drop the mop pad.

@tychay 3 ай бұрын

Yeah that's nice. I'm pretty sure this model does have a mode where you can have it do a vacuum pass first and then a mop pass second. This can be a big deal because it won't wet the mop pad in this mode until the vacuum pass finishes. Given the dryer, as long as you don't ask it to vacuum more than once a day, it's almost as good as the Dreame depending on your scheduling.

I don't like the space that the dock takes up, so our vacuum lives in a utility closet in the laundry room. We cut off the bottom 3 inches of the closet door so the vacuum can go in and out. I'd rather see the cut-off door than the clunky dock taking up space in our small laundry room. One problem I haven't been able to solve is the vacuum shutting a room's door as it works, getting itself stuck. I've installed magnetic doorstops to hold the door open, and this works somewhat, but the vacuum often pulls the door off the doorstop. If you've had this problem, I'd like to hear your solution.

I really wish Roborock just allowed us to tell the robot to not use lidar to keep it's distance from the furniture at specific locations. I have kitchen from Ikea which has 8.5cm tall and 11.5cm deep "hole" for your feet while standing in front of it. The vacuum is only about 7.5cm tall (excluding the lidar), so it could absolutely get in and vacuum there, but it refuses to because lidar is just high enough to not fit, so it doesn't even try, forcing me to vacuum/mop under there manually. The slim one looks interesting, but not enough for me to want it. I would honestly just want an option to tell it to go as close as it can using the side mounted sensor and not the lidar for a specified section on the map. And as for the new QRevo, looks really cool, but I refuse to purchase any dock with a bag system. I have my Roborock S7 and really like it, but I specifically bought the bagless cyclone dock.

Mops are touching the short karpet. No go for me just for that. They should solve this major issue with mops and carpets height. I am wondering why most manufactures althought knowing the major issues with robot vacuums do not make a robot that will adress them all in a high efficient way. They bring new models into the market every 6 months or so, adding 1 or 2 improvements but not one of them brings a robot that adresses all major issues. I think its a matter of marketing and selling. Overall, robot vacuum prices are really high and overestimated.

@tychay 3 ай бұрын

the Dreame X series has mops that can be programmed to stay in the dock when you do a vacuum pass. This model (I'm pretty sure since it's an update of the Qrevo Master) should have the ability to do a two pass where it vacuums first before wetting the mop pads for floor cleaning. Either should solve your problem. As for the high prices. All these new models lower the price of old ones which are more feature-full (and just better at the job). Right now even this model (new, flagship in the "Qrevo" line) is $400 more than what I paid 5 years ago for a top-of-the-line iRobot that couldn't even mop. Back then, if you wanted mopping, you'd have to buy two separate units = this price. Pretty sure a flat out better one than mine can be purchased for about half what I paid then. You need to stop looking at the flagships if price is a factor. Back then I think my model was only one of two that had docks, and it was the only brand with dual brushes and antitangle design. Now the patent on the dual brushes is expired and the antitangle actually works now,, not to mention a whole bunch of features that are super convenient: Lidar, AI avoidance, hot water cleaning system, actually usable smart home integration, swivel arms and pads, way better suction, etc.
