    Thanks for this complete and honest review. I've had mine for a month now and am very happy with it. It mapped both floors of our house in minutes and the navigation is very extract. It has saved me hours of work and it will quickly pay for itself when you compare the cost of a person coming to your home once a week, vacuuming every surface of your house (including under beds), and washing the large amount of wooden floors. Like you, I was skeptical about the video camera. Even though I'm an old guy, my 12 year-old mind loves it.

    Thank you for honest review although I'm not sure why people panicking about Roomba ...I have it from Costco the most advanced model that I could get there and I can't really complain a lot! People who were reviewing it would tell u it bounces against furnitures or other obstacles that's not necessarily true ...only very first time , upon first maps drawing it has tendency to do so . after while it's getting better and better and approaching more subtle way! Their software is getting better also I have safety zones areas that I can set and overall I'm very pleased with the Roomba as well...

    Thank you for your honest opinion. In December, I bought the iRobot Roomba s9+ (9550) Robot Vacuum & Braava Jet m6 (6112) Robot Mop Bundle and they were a complete NIGHTMARE. After spending several evenings trying to map the house, I honestly gave up. I returned them both without any hesitation.
    This machine looks like a really “smart” robot. I will probably wait until the new one comes out. Hopefully by then, the price of this one goes down a bit or maybe I will bet the New Roborock.

      I bought the Braava Jet M6 lasts year and I also found the mapping a nightmare. I used a Roborock S6 for vacuuming, and the mapping was easy and excellent. A few weeks ago, I decided to move on and bought the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra. It mapped both floors of our house in minutes and is incredibly accurate.

    Agreed, We had the iRobot original one when they first came out, that thing was dumb as hell but we used it for a few years. When roborock came out (earlier versions), we gave it a test and loved it right away, smart navigation & quick finish. Never looked back on iRobot ever since, seems to me iRobot just can't ditch their wrong direction but kept going into the ditch with heavy marketing and discounts.
    Now we have one S7 for each floor before the MaxV came out, my only complaint is the S7 soft brush gets tangled easily on our thick carpet, eventually I removed the brush for good so it can just do preliminary job before I run it with the Dyson vaccum. Eventually we will upgrade to MaxV on the mainfloor because I'm sick and tired of changing mopping pads on every run. 😂

    Don't use pin and go. The robot has two modes I would say. From what I discovered there is cleaning mode able to make modifications to the map, and then there is travel mode where it goes from a point to another only navigating based on its previous saved map. That the reason, why it cannot go to the target. Best practice is to set up zone cleaning, and the robot will go where an obstacle was before and modify the map back. ;)

  • @sethje

    using roombas for 12 years now. Even the old one always found its dock before the battery went dead. They were noisy indeed but when you let them run during working hours that hardly seems a problem. The roombas with camera indeed need ligtht. The cheaper i3 does not needs light and still does the job. Not meant as a roomba commercial but a bit balance would be nice. The Roborock S7 ( the newer S8 has the roomba counter turning brushes so cleans way better it seems. They copied that part to improve cleaning) Yes the S7 ultra can clean its own and only water and dustbin needs manual work. But a roomba combo does both jobs better but combined the roborock is the master. But YMMV as always ;)

  • @loungebiddle7922
    @loungebiddle7922 Год назад

    Well done! Agree with all your main points. Point and go great feature. I see comments zone is better but not always true. I think you experienced a bug and I would email their support explaining how you would reproduce. I use new feature Routines. Has a bug if you have 2 or more maps. Does not load map before routine so a use case occurs where it finished on map 1 and routine needs map 2....error positioning failure. Work around is to use Schedules....a feature that has all bugs ironed out. I mention this because you touched on a key reason to buy.... ability for Roborock to improve. So true but we as users who paid big money must inform RR how to reproduce a bug and highlight importance. Let's see if this outfit can evolve. I call mine Phoebe from Friends... very lovely but a bit dipsy sometimes.

    We have a German shepherd running around, so we want the best robot to clean the house every night, including a mopping feature.
    In the Roborock lineup I bought them all. Starting with the first simple robot vacuum cleaner, to the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra. ALL OF THEM had issues, causing me to dump them one by one. From laser issues, causing the Roborock to stop working, to a non functional auto empty station (with the MaxV Ultra).
    I always upgraded to the next Roborock, based upon positive reviews like this, hoping that the next model would run without issues. It didn’t.
    Warranty is always an issue, since the robots are delivered through Amazon, mostly imported from far away.
    I start to hate Roborock. Think twice or more often.

  • @ronwaldon7970
    @ronwaldon7970 Год назад +1

    I got a downside for you. If you have Subwoofers with large magnets, they temporarily kill the S7 Max V Robot vacuums. At least I'm pretty sure the magnet is the cause. Anyway, every time my vacuum goes right in front of one of the Subwoofers, it shouts, "Dust bin not found." If I push it about 6 inches away, it magically fixes itself and says, "Dust bin installed." Push it back in front, and you get the Dust bin not found message again. It's obvious to me, but I think they need better shielding. I have sent a support message to Roborock but haven't heard back from them yet. Good luck to you guys with Subwoofers. Just so you know. My tower speakers don't cause a problem. I believe that is because the actual speaker is 8 to 10 inches above the bottom of the speaker cabinet.

    Just bought the S7 Max V without any dock, got it for €666, the plus dock is €269 and €700 for the Ultra, its 1400 otherwise for the robot and ultra. I'm saving getting it separately.
    So far I'm pro voice commands, alexa specifically. It's not excellent, it struggles at time. Plus it annoys me that it pre saves whatever cleaning option you've picked previously. Ie....if I mop the house via the app at night, the following day if I want to clean a bit of dust in a living room.....it will go there but it picks the mopping function as its used previously. I wish you could set a default setting that it will always revert back to "vacuuming" for example. So, that I don't need to open the app and change what cleaning its to do.
    The pin and go was a handy tip I didn't realise it cleaned ha

    • @Dagot1948
      @Dagot1948 Год назад

      You can vacuum only, you can mop only, and you can do both at the same time. The mop head will lift when it's vacuuming or moving over carpeting. I remove the mop head entirely and do all the vacuuming first. When that's done, I re-install the mop head and it only mops the wooden floors. It's just more efficient for me to do it that way, but you can do what works best for you.

      One of the app features is "Reactive Obstacle Avoidance." When you select that, it will avoid wall edges, furniture legs, etc. and effectively won't bump into anything. If you turn that off (and I do this when it's mopping), it gets right up the edge of the wall. It doesn't bump against anything.

      Since I do a complete mopping once a week, I just take the mop off (very simple to do) when I'm done, throw it in the washer, and let it air dry. The mop end of the robot faces out, is exposed to the air, and is slightly elevated. Many people find that the mop will dry perfectly well on its own. Other people have purchased the add-on dryer. It all depends on how you use it and how often you use it.

      Unless you live in an enormous house that requires more than one tank of water, the clean water tank can last for several moppings.

    Yours is a truly stellar example of what a RUclips review CAN be - just stellar. Why do I say that? I'll tell you.
    First, it was comprehensive - it covered all the bases, pros AND cons. No warts or blemishes were whitewashed. Secondly, you're presentation is quite good, your explanations were easy to follow, and your use of the language is satisfyingly good, in a time when that's a scarce commodity, sadly. And lastly, I detected some nicely done video editing - you cut out pauses and kept the flow going almost unnoticeably. I did notice because I know a little about video editing.
    I had already ordered one of these earlier today, and this video helps give me some confidence in my buying decision.
