Roborock S7 Review: Next Generation Robot Vacuum/Mop Is Here [How Good is It?] 

this plus an auto empty system=my dream robotvac. loved my S5 for the last 2.5 years, still going strong.

finally an outstanding, structured review - straight to the point, comprehensive, clear. thank you

Great review - loving the methodical approach!

Can't wait to upgrade my S4! I've always said that a cross cross pattern is what's needed for deep cleaning.

All these reviews are so helpful! Thank you! Keep up the hard work!! All I wish was that this device wasn't so expensive! I may have to go with the 5, sigh.

Well structured and thorough review.

So Deep clean mode shuts off the vacuum function, right? Only mopping...

I'll have to check for these new software features for the S6 MaxV. Hopefully, they added them like the rug shading .

It's odd the S% cleans better, when the S6 - S7 has better suction.

Hello 👋, been watching your channel for awhile and love your detailed videos and straightforward reviews. Kind of reminds me of vacuum wars channel 😮. Anyways how are you liking the S7? Any issues you have noticed? So what I have seen so far it missing the Sequence feature found on the other Roborock models and ability to use the carpet sensor for no go zones. Apparently the overseas version get this feature but not here in the US. Not sure what the reason is? Keep up the good work!!!!

the vibration feature is the best and the most distinctive thing about this robot but when it lifts its mop when on carpet, it seems like the mop still touches the fibres of the carpet. so as you say, it is better not to count on its small lift.

Great review ty 🙏

awesome review! I've s5 max and i like it.. but I need one more, should I buy s5 max or wait for s7? I don't care about auto empty it's pointless!! I regularly clean it's sensor + filter + brush + roller brush + clean the mop cloth... so emptying the dust is the easiest job !!!!

Hi. Can you please tell me why mine is not hitting the edges of my rooms?

Bona makes a Robo rock cleaning solution

Great job! Will you do some video comparisons with other brands (not only with other roborocks)?

Great video. Very detailed as always. Do you know if the older models (specifically S5 Max) will be getting the sensed carpet/rug showing up on the maps, or does this maybe require some possible separate/newer sensor types of the S7

Hi I have bought Roborock S7 +. But after two weeks of use, I sent it back because I thought the mopping was lousy. I understand that you have to wet the mop before starting the robot vacuum cleaner. but after half the house, the mop has been wiped off and the robot vacuum cleaner mops a maximum of 7 to 10 cm wide on the floor. the difference between s6v max and s7, is that the water drainage on the s6v max in two places on the mop on each side. which means that the entire width of the mop is constantly wet. while s7 has a single drain in the middle which is not enough to bleed the whole mop, resulting in it mops max 7 to 10 cm max. I would need your opinion on this .. or if I'm doing something wrong

Awesome review! Quick question, do you know if the older mop cloths/pads are compatible with the s7? Thanks in advance! (:

The fact that roborock didn't release the auto-emptying dock the same time with the S7 was the main factor that made me to move away from them at least for now. I have a Roborock S5 that works great for more than 2 years now but I really wanted the auto dock. In my opinion it was a mistake not introducing the Y pattern also to this robot. Yes it consumes more water but combined with the vibrating mop would have been unbeatable. You can always turn it off if you want. The Roidmi also has that Y pattern. I know it isn't recommended to add cleaning solutions to the water tank but i do it anyway. I spoke with some Roborock S5 Max owners and other brands and in almost 2 years they did not have any problems with it. Even to the S5 i added directly and made large holes in those 2 silly water filters. Who cleans the floors with filtered water? Yes the Roidmi, The S5Max, S6, S7, have an electric pump inside but cleaning the floors with just water is simply pointless in my opinion. Expecially that the mop pad gets dirty quickly and the robot just drags germs from the door to the middle of the house and so on. Yes the floors look nicer/cleaner but all you do is spread evenly the bacterias and viruses through out the entire house. So if it breaks ( I don't think so) I will buy a new one or simply stop using the robot as a mop if i can't find the water tank.

what if you vacuum over fluids that havent dried up yet? I assume it does no harm to the s7?

does the app have the option to map multiple floors?

Good video. I do have some questions: Is the new vacuum/mopping pattern (run 1 horizontal, run 2 vertical) also available on older models? Are some of the new mopping features (deep/standard mopping) available on older models?

Thank you for a great review. I'm thinking of buying the S7 when it's available (in Australia), but on the specs it says it's suitable for carpets up to 4mm thick. I'm wondering if it will still work on thicker carpet? My carpet is 8mm to 9mm thick pile or 3/8" pile. It's a plush type carpet. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this. FYI I've never owned a robot vacuum before. Thank you in advance.

How is the water from the tank fed to the mopping pad? I see a little port next to the vibrating arm on the bottom of the S7, but doesn't the mopping plate cover it when installed?

Great review. Unfortunate that Roborock didn't realise an auto empty system with it. Probably waiting till S7 MaxV to do that (?). Also, impressive mopping capabilities! I think Y path it's basically useless with this VibraRise technology. Do you think Roborock should've upgraded the vacuum capabilities since it scored the lowest CFM in your test? Also, in your opinion, how well VibraRise does compared to OZMO Pro? Thank you

Good compare, thanks for the video.

Great video

Can you use disinfectant in the water tank?

Do you find hair wrapping around new brush after vacuuming?

Have they added a way to disable the cliff detection sensors? I had an older model s5 that recently died on me but always had an issue with dark rugs. Would really like to be able to turn off the sensors since I don't have anywhere that my vacuum could fall off of

9:55 NOT 4CM , 4MM...

1000 thanks for review, made me switch from S5 to S7. But my S7 does not mop with that cross pattern, how do I get it to it, there is no FW update ready after the one I got updated to when I started it.

Can it do vaccum only / mop only?

Don't like the lower airflow of the s7

How high is the robot?

Please do not advertise or buy Chinese products! I did the mistake more than a year back and still regreting it. It stopped working just after warranty period.

It's NOT called vibrarinse, but VibraRise. Because it rises up on carpets. It does not rinse anything. You were not paying attention to the main selling point and biggest step forward for the product. Seriously. How am I suppoused to take this "review" seriously after this?
