My robotic vacuum and mop recommendation video has been updated for 2023-2024: ruclips.net/video/31hueQqN7Wk/видео.html
Man, I can't imagine the amount of time spent here to come up with a proper testing methodology and perform all tests required. Informative, useful and fantastic review.
Seriously! This guy is amazing, and makes the old consumer reports magazines with an entire staff look like cliff notes.
This was seriously a great comparison test. I especially liked that you did the cotton ball test, hair tangle test and went full nerd when it came to Home Assistant. Very professionally done! You have added value to my day, thank you sir!
This is probably one of the most thorough and to the point comparisons I have ever seen. Not even an ounce of fluff. Thank you for your hard work!
Great review! As a nerdy engineer, I love that you clearly use the scientific method to plan your tests. Keep up the good work. I’ll be shopping for a robot vacuum soon and will watch this video at least a few more times.
Once a science teacher, always a science teacher.
Same boat, these are hands down the best reviews anyone is doing and how I always thought they should be done. Take a lot of work of course, so really appreciate it
Did you end up buying one?
I was looking to buy one for Amazon day but wasn't sure which model I should get - I can't describe how happy I was to see that YOU had a review for these (and only a month old)! You do the singular BEST reviews of products of anyone I've found on RUclips. THANK YOU for the time/energy/effort you put into these videos.
Thank you for an amazing review. It's the most comprehensive review I've seen, which included the part on how well the cleaning pads are cleansed and ease of cleaning the base stations. These 2 items are incredibly important for real usage and is often left out in reviews. Thank you once again!
Amazing!! I can't believe you painted and re painted for wall test. Great methodology. Really hats off on the great way to lay it all out. This is the only video I will see to make my decision ! Will use your link! Thanks!
Incredible amounts of detail. Thank you for the methodical approach to testing.
Looking forward to the Roborock Revo Q’s rotating mom design and how it stacks up against the Narwhal!
If only I could find review videos like this for all products I look up. Thank you for being so detailed and thorough.
You have helped me with Home Assistant, and now you've proven that I've already got the best RoboRock version. Always appreciate your videos!
This is TRULY the most thorough & detailed robot vacuum video EVEEEER! Thank you for making all the tests realistic to what most people want their vacuums to do, instead of picking up eggshells and macaroni from the ground 😅 you have sold me on the dream tech! I had a roomba sJ7+ and I hated it so much I returned it and that’s how I landed on your channel, trying to find the best mopping robot vacuum for homes with carpet & hardwood floor AND pets 😊
Curious which did you buy or which would you buy. Lol. I’m going with your suggestion due to your comment
The amount of effort you put into this video is insane, awesome comparison which makes a purchase decision well founded. Thank you!
Excellent video as always. It would be awesome if you could review the step down models as well (the budget oriented ones)
This is the most thorough and extended testing video on robot vacuums by far. Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for putting these test/list together.
Awesome review! Thanks for your determination for putting all of this together!
❤😊 excellent professional review. I have been using the Roomba robots since they first came out and the competition has moved ahead of them by quite a margin. To solve the issue of damaging baseboards I have placed a soft White velcro strip on the bumper in front of the robot vacuum. It irritates me that my roombas keep on getting stuck in places they shouldn't and frequently stop working above the stairs. I have concluded that I will not purchase Roombas again. I have gone through four models over the past 15 plus years., and I'm going to watch your video several times before I make my next purchase. 😊 Thank you for sharing your tests with all of us out here . I truly appreciate you're clear solid review.❤
We had a older Roomba that would full speed ran into baseboards and furniture. It was always getting stuck or lost. To be fair though it was a more budget friendly option and that was years ago
I would rly recommend the j7 (not combo) if you aren’t looking for mopping! I ended up putting a piece of thick, clear tape on the front (the type meant for cars, like a 0.26 inch thick), and it doesn’t do any damage. Plus, the navigation is super smart and it hasn’t gotten stuck for me after a year of use!
@@georgebalan6201 If you think Roomba navigation is smart your mind will be absolutely blown by a high end LIDAR robot like the S7MaxV or L10s, they know exactly where they are in the house down to the centimeter.
Thank you! exactly the video I was waiting for!!👍
This was extremely helpful! Your time doing this is definitely appreciated!
This is the exact video I was looking for. Thanks!!
I really appreciate the time you took to put this together. My Neato D7 has been amazing for 5 years but now that Neato is out of business, it's time to check out newer functionality. The Roborock S7 is looking pretty good
I spent all morning researching robotic floor cleaners. I started a list of my feature requirements then plopped my findings on a spreadsheet and just got confused. I came across this review which seemed to be the most objective, complete and clear. I especially liked the summary which based recommendations in relation to the buyer's most important requirements. I would have appreciated a little more review of the apps (not just smart home connectivity) but my research is now complete. Thank you Hook Up for hooking me up.
Hello, which one did you end up with?
Thank you so much for all the information and tests you performed! I was extremely helpful.
great review! also thanks for the home assistant local vs cloud differentiation :)
I just purchased a T10 Omni to replace a J7+ (non mop) and pretty much agree with the info here. I tried a little Bona floor cleaner (recommended for Roomba's) mixed in and it did not like that -- mop cleaning failed (complaining about overflow) and traction became a real issue, so much that it would end up driving in circles -- but I might try a lower mix ratio.
The new T20 Omni has the lifting pads now and that is a feature I wish the T10 had because it sorta reduces the purpose of the auto wash if you have multiple hard floors separated by carpet as the robot will not travel across it with mops attached.
Real poor showing from the Lefant given their reply, if you're going to charge above combos (and 3x some top-tier mop only robots), you better have the best performance. Ridiculous pricing from them.
This is one of the best (if not the best) comparison testing of robot vacuums I have seen! Great job! The only thing that would make this better is if there was a link to a comparison spreadsheet of sorts as there is a ton of things to consider when making a final personal decision on which to choose.
The scientific approach is remarkable! I hope you'll be able to test the new Roborock Q Revo and see how it does against all the other models. Cheers!
Best robot vacuum video in youtube so far, summarizing each competitor with all the pros and cons and I totally agree with the conclusion part after watching all other reviews as well as trying some of those robots! Kudos, and thank you!
Best overview I’ve seen, you’re killing it
Wow. That was a huge amount of info. Thanks heaps for all that effort making this vid. It’s seriously useful info.
This was very helpful and packed full of information! Thank you 🎉
The amount of time you put for this video.. priceless!
Thank you!
Great review! Thanks for what you doing!
Oh my god, such high quality video. Forget just a fantastic video, This is borderline inspiring for hardwork. Thanks!
so happy i made the right purchase! Was a fan of roborocks, but ended up with L10s right on time as Ill be moving in to my first house. The PrimeDay sale made it a no brainer buy + found an extra 5% off coupon code on top of the already amazing price! Thank you for your thoroughly but realistic review as always!
That prime day sale was nuts.
This was so helpful, thank you!
Awesome review! I have owned the Roborock S7 Max Ultra for above a year now... But this is how much I love it..I have bought 2 now, because my first one ran over dog poop, which was the first time my dog has pooped in the house ever and he is 10 yrs old. I had just purchased my Roborock S7 Max Ultra and STUPIDLY I didn't feel like i needed to set the poop detection because my dog has never pooped in the house...long story short.. It was a huge mess, I tried to clean the robot and ended up with "cliff sensor error".. I ended up purchasing another one instead of going through the hassle of trying to get it replaced because I knew it was my fault.. Thats how much I love my Roborock! Even though it was very painful! I would hate to be without it, ever!
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your precision and objectivity.
Thank you for coming up with such a comprehensive review! The amount of time & effort taken to bring it out is much appreciated! Any thoughts on the new Deebot X2 OMNI? Also, how would you rate Narwal Freo on regular carpeted floor (not rugs) with no pet hair in the picture?
You create amazing reviews! When I was looking to buy a projector, I followed your advice and went straight for the Nexigo. No regrets whatsoever - it's a perfect device at a great price for my usage.
As for the vacuum cleaners, they're just a bit beyond my budget. Would you consider making a review in the future for mid-range robot vacuum cleaners?
Thanks a lot for consistently producing such valuable reviews. You truly rock!
Intense review. Wow! incredible detail over others that seem to just read from the manufacturer's website. Thank you!
Great review!! Very useful and thanks for the effort🥰
Thank you so much for this!!!
phenomenal review...thanks so much for your efforts. you've really helped me choose !
Absolutely amazing review!! Best I’ve ever seen so far.
The perfect video! You’re absolutely amazing. This is EXACTLY what I wanted to see.
One of the most well put togther comparison videos iv ever seen. Thank you sir. Well done.
I needed help finding the best robot mop. Thank you!
Great head to head testing as always Rob! I too think that robotic vacuums are a game-changer if you value your time and can afford them.
Wow. Just wow. That was one hell of a comparison video.. thanks for making it!
Wow I’m so impressed at this comparison. You saved me so much research!!!! Thank you! Got any intel on the shark ai ultra 2-in-1? Thanks!
I love your video! Thank you for your time and effort.
I have zero carpet, no pets, and no long haired people. The Narwal Freo has been an absolute dream in my home. My only real complaint is that the mapping feature is a "one shot" approach. If you don't have every space available when you run the initial mapping task, there is no way to update the map to include a new space without starting over from scratch (it doesn't learn / adjust on the fly). Mopping was my main goal with this robot and it does a beautiful job!
I actually think that might be getting added to the app as we speak. Last week I noticed a prompt that said "new mapping area discovered, add now?" in the app. Clicking "add now" resulted in an error, but I think it's coming. I 100% agree that the Narwal Freo is the best mop on the market.
@@TheHookUp Excellent - that would be a really nice feature to have. I honestly don't mind the lack of integration with other smart home devices, but for the price of these robots - it's not unreasonable to expect that they should have that too.
Yeah, the “coming soon” integration section in the narwal app is frustrating.
Boy. I came to see what to buy, more of confirming Dreametech and I got my final resolution and sanity check. You deserve more than my likes. Subscribed and gonna use your link to purchase it. Thank you so much.
Wow!! Thank you for doing this. I will do for the narwal 💪🏽
Great review, thank you so much for doing it!! I bought the Roborock Q Revo on Prime day and it's really a game changer for me! I have 3 cats and have it set up to clean the house at night except my room. Love waking up to squeaky clean floors!! The only issue is it's not automatically emptying the dust bin once finished cleaning. I've tried looking at the options but haven't found a setting. tried a manual start and it worked fine, just not working for the scheduled cleaning. Any thoughts?
Thank you SO MUCH for this thorough reviews! Would love to see an update with the new Q Revo to see how it holds against these :)
INCREDIBLE job with this, thank you so much.
Your reviews and comparisons are best and really care about the real world examples.
Amazing work! Congratulations!
I am so glad I watched this! I was meaning for Evovac.
Your review is very objective and practical. You have helped me narrow down my choice.
This is the most comprehensive review... i subscribed instantly.🎉
Slight correction: The Roborock vacuums can work with Alexa to do room specific cleaning using the Roborock app and Roborock skill. The correct verbiage for cleaning a specific room is "Alexa, Ask roborock to clean the {room name}".
Also for anyone that didn't know you can also add a routine in Alexa to send a custom command so you can make it activate when you say "Alexa, clean the {room name}" but actually sends "Alexa, Ask roborock to clean the {room name}" just to save saying that everytime
My Alexa Routines actually call Home Assistant Input Booleans, which execute scripts when they're activated, which directly feed data to the vacuum. That way, Roborock can vacuum (only vacuum, no mop) my house (or just certain rooms) for example, only if it's Sunday, after 5PM, and no one is home, automatically. Or, on a nightly basis, Roborock can vacuum only rooms that have had people in them more than 2 hours that day, leaving the other lesser-used rooms for the twice-weekly "vacuum everything" command.
Alexa is VERY limited, and full of work-arounds to get what you actually want to do, done.
@@JasonPhipps Yeah, as always, home assistant is a cheat code for getting things to function exactly the way you want them to. However, I think that level of automation is still reserved for a very small population.
@@TheHookUp Maybe, sadly, because it's phenomenal, and more people should love it! Haha!
As a "technology guy" do you ever plan on addressing any of the security concerns?
Roborock has been criticized for its data collection practices, which some users have found to be invasive.
In 2020, Xiaomi, a Chinese electronics company, acquired a minority stake in Roborock.
Xiaomi has been accused of ties to the Chinese government, which has raised concerns about the security of Roborock products.
That's the way to make a comparison video ! thumbs up !!
Your experimental design is the real deal!
I had to comment given how elaborate you tested.
Thank you for the effort. I liked the review.
Regarding smart home control, don’t forget that iRobot has direct integration with August Smart Locks, MyQ garage doors, Yonomi Smart Lights (can turn on the lights when it enters a room because it’s vSLAM system requires light), and it works with IFTTT.
great review thank you!
Thank you for all your work done. Getting fed up with robot ai videos that are just amazon top 10 list with no actual testing or methodology. You the MVP
Those videos are the bane of my existence.
Amazing reviews
Great work !!!!
U helped us Alot
This is by far the best review on YT. Very thorough, hardwork and genius review methodology 👍🏿👍🏿
God I am so happy you said there's no sponsors in this video. I have been trying to research but every review i've seen so far has "this video was sponsored by (xyz)." It just completely invalidates the review. They really talk up the specs of their sponsored robot and never tlak about downsides. Thanks for staying credible.
This was a fantastic review.i know it took a lot of time and effort to put out such great content. Thank you
So comprehensive. Thank you.
Lots of data on so many different models. Outstanding comparison information, very thorough and useful video. Thanks.
Thank you for all the time you put into your testing. I am looking for a robot mop vac to use at our venue and have tried the X1 Omni but it can't handle the amount of square feet on its mapping program is there any that can handle 5,320 square feet?
Thank you, this was very helpful.
Great review! I have a lot of long hair and was about to get the Roomba, now I am not. Between that issue and many oriental rugs with fringe that I know the Roomba could have a keep out area for, back to the decision drawing board for me .
Omg the dedication!! New sub here❤!
Thanks for the detailed review.
Extremely well done 👍🏼
Hi, great reviews as always! Smart home integration is key, and I think all manufacturers can do better. I really wish mine would; report which room they are in, when did the last clean certain rooms, how is the water level in the tanks, just give me more data! I also do a similar schedule like you, but use NodeRed to let them be smarter so they run when we are away etc.
I´m also using the X1 Omni and I got significantly better mopping performance with aftermarket thicker pads and I lay 1 credit card which I coped up so I can put one in the "docking" part of the spinner which holds the mop. This all forces the mops down more, you might run into issues where they might snag, but mopping is much better! I also belive the Ecovacs has shipped new mop holders which goes further down on newer batches of X1s. That might also explain why the T10 did so much better.
I run the S7 MaxV and X1 omni and I find that the S7 does not pick up pet fur on carpets, which is a shame since that was the reason to add it. I find that having 2 vacuums is a sweet spot, since one might snag but sacrifices itself so that the next one can go on. Makes the probability of a failed clean 5-10% rather than 20%. At least in our home with 2x toddlers and a big dog.
Honestly one of the greatest videos I’ve watched
Good review, tho I had the irobot amazon alexa skill setup back in like 2019 before the acquisition. It worked pretty well, much better compared to roborock back in those days.
Great vid thank you! Just about to jump into fiest foray of robo cleaner due to having a little one who is a mucky lil pup! So hoping this will jelp hs- was between the L10 and Q revo and looking at the good reviews around L10s think it pips it...just! Ps looks like they have updated the obstacle avoidance to be better too since this video was released!
This is a great review! I would love to see a comparison between the Roborock S8 ultra vs Dreame L20 ultra. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. Very informational and helpful thank you for the time and effort that went into this. Looks like I'll be getting the roborock as being able to clean up hair well on hard floor is important for me. Although mopping isn't as great we don't wear shoes in the house so it should be fine if mopping capability is lower. I'm curious though about how well the robots perform in cleaning grout lines if you can test that in a future video it would be great!
But will have to get the auto drying attachment for the s7 maxv. Unfortunate that it doesn't come built in. Or maybe I'll wait for the s8 maxv 🤔
Awesome video! do you have any comments on longevity and warranty options?
Great reviews. Thanks
Thank you for such a good review ! You made my purchase decision a lot easier.
What’s your decision
Great review. I just subscribed.
Amazing review. soo much effort putting this video. thank you
Wonderful review. I was going back and forth between the Dreametech L10s Ultra and the roborock q revo and this review helped me pick the L10s Ultra. How do you integrate yours into you smart home. Would you recommend Google Home, Home Assistant or something else? Are you using Valetudo?
Bedankt
Waaaaa. What a test !!!! Kudos
Wow! What a review! You are like a MrBeast in vacuum industry😎
I was about to get the dreame but now I have ti wait until yoour review of the Shark AI ultra. Thanks for your excellent reviews.
Without a doubt, the best robot floor cleaning review ever made.
