[@topperdude2007]

I like the idea of the "sidekick" spinning mop shown at 4:45 in the video to get really close to the edge. At the same time, I keep wondering whether the size of that thing might be limiting before it gets filled up and is ineffective - especially say if I have really long run along a straight wall 55-60ft long and then turn 90 degrees for another straight wall around 30 ft long? And this is even before it moves to going back/forth on the main open floor with the main mop / vacuum. As always, keep up the great work. 👍

Do yourself a favor and don’t buy their shit. Bought top of the line Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, supposedly their flagship top of the line product for $1800. It started having a problem prior to 30 days going by, by 3 months it is just a big POS brick sitting in my house. Does not function. The mop cleaning and dirty water recovery is bad design with shit pump. Call customer service and find yourself talking to a contract company in the Philippines. These guys do NOT know shit about these machines. They will listen and hang up on you and 15 minutes after later send you KZbin video you have already watched trying to fix it. Their advance support will supposedly call you back in 24 hrs, they are in another country. THEY WILL NOT CALL YOU BACK. Still waiting for a call and it has been five days. Their supervisors are in CHINA and they know it is a SHIT product so they will not TAKE OR RETURN phone calls. They sent me an email telling me to ship it back and they would replace it. No shipping information has been given, and I am under the impression $1800 isn’t enough for them to pay to ship it back. Even if I was willing to PAY to ship it to them, THEY GAVE NO INFORMATION on where to ship it to. And as sketchy as they have been I suspect I pay to ship it and will NEVER SEE THE REPLACEMENT. Wrote a one star review outlining everything on Amazon. To get me to remove the review they offered a full refund. That is what they offered a FULL REFUND. It didn’t say I had to ship it back, just reply full refund and they would give me a full refund. I responded back I wanted the full refund. 20 minutes later they immediately reneged. Amazon won’t replace after 30 days because they know they are a POS that break rather quickly. So do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. I am out $1800, I hope I save someone the trouble of having this problem

[@dixit-publice]

I have a Roborock S7, which I'm still happy with, but the wiping performance could be better. So I am surprised that Roborock hasn't installed rotating mops in its new top model. (apart from the mini sidekick mop) In numerous tests, vacuum robots with rotating mops have shown better mopping performance than those with vibrating mops. In terms of concept, it also seems understandable to me that a rotating movement is more effective than vibration, apart from the fact that side-rotating pads can reach corners better than a centrally mounted vibrating pad. Even Roborock has installed two rotating mopping pads in their Q Revo model, and the mopping performance is top-notch there too. On the Dreame L20 Ultra, one of the two rotating mopping pads can even extend thanks to the pivoting arm, allowing for more thorough cleaning right up to the edge of walls. The ECOVACS X1 Omni also shows better mopping performance in tests with its rotating mops than models with vibrating mops. What do you think about the question of whether rotating mops wouldn't be better?

So I have been cleaning my floors with dirty water! gross! I have found the same brown mildew in my clean water tank too, but Today is the first time I even looked at the vacuum's water tank. Please come out with a better solution to add to the Roborock products! It says you are only allowed to use Roborock cleaning solution, so now I don't know what to do!

With Voice commands, can you interchange between vacuuming and mopping modes? 😁

[@richardmurphy5962]

Agreed. This is very frustrating that you cannot voice command the sweeper to sweep only (no mopping).

[@stanislavcoros]

future of moping is not in spreading existing dirt with water on the flor , but to actually collect and clean the mop brush on the go. I guess like the EUFY S1 PRO. But i really prefer navigation and logic of roborock. But Every time I miss the total width of robot for both brushes,.. for dry suction and for moping. So less moves is necessary to do. Dyson is pushing for the widest brush as possible and same should be for moping like it has that EUFY S1. The wider the better and not having just small brush between two wheels.
