The Tesla of Robot Vacuums! Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra 

It's hilarious to me how much more useful this is than the Amazon Astro robot. Well done Roborock

I bought RobotNox vacuum robot and I am so happy. It's muuuch better than my previous robot.

Here's a link to the S7 MaxV Ultra: amzn.to/3cGNTqw I did think of one missing feature: following my kids around to clean up their path of destruction...

Well, I am not surprised there are many RobotNox recommendations.

i see a lot of comments mentioning Robotnox. this robot just changed our minds. it has a lot of great features tbh

Awesome review! Because of you I purchased my first robot vacuum and it was a Roborock S7 from Refhop and have no regrets. I’m glad I found your channel, thank you !

yeah I am shocked there are no RobotNox in the video

It's my favorite robot vacuum so far, the S7 was nice but lacked the AI object recognition, the new self cleaning mop is great. I love that it can refill itself

Was just looking at buying this! Thanks, Reed for looking at some of the features. :)

Wouldn't it be nice to have the clean water reservoir be able to be hooked up to your cold water line and have a dirty water connected to your drain plumbing. Seems like its like a portable dishwasher , would be nice to have a more permanent installation option. I hope the dust/dirt bags can be auto re ordered like a subscription plan.

Why no robotnox here?

I just got this set up yesterday I was really impressed at how fast it maped my whole house, and it just works, it goes immediately to the room you assign cleans it and then returns back to the dock. Ran it multiple times in different rooms and it never got stuck once.

Hello! Have you tried Robotnox?

I haven't done this with this specific vacuum but we had a central vac in our camper when I was a kid that my dad could no longer find bags for so I just took one of the bags we had left and added a zipper to it.

Ordered mine! Great info Reed. You should do a long term followup video as well, say in 6 months or so?

I have used iRobots until recently when one of them started failing. I got this one because I liked the features of the doc refilling the mop and cleaning the mop. But WOW! I have to agree. I too have become obsessed with this system and dock! I love how it cleans the mop! I will say, I am surprised it doesn't tell us when the dust bin is full, but hey, how nit picky is it to point that out? One thing that made this THE BEST SYSTEM OUT THERE is the unsung hero of this system...the app! The iRobot app is really good! There are a couple of nit picky things I could pick on with it, but what I LOVE is that when you load the app it can immediately talk with the robot. iRobot has to connect with each robot every single time. With Roborock as soon as you load the app, it can talk with the dock and the robot. No sitting there just HOPING it manages to connect (which as many times as not iRobot does connect...but a lot of failed connections). At $1000, yeah, its pricey. No question. But when I see my dog has come in from the outside and left some footprints on my hardwood floor, and I can just tell Roborock to go after it...its INCREDIBLE how well it does! Most of all, this system keeps me house so much cleaner that every time I walk around I see it and I feel good! Putting a price on THAT kind of product satisfaction is really hard (on top of, yeah, not having to fight the system at ALL to get it done). Last point...mine was out of the box, connected, and cleaning in about 5 minutes (at most!). Can you remember the last time you had something do that? WELL DONE, ROBOROCK! And great video, too! Your girls are adorable. :)

I've had one for a couple weeks now. I have the standard dock. This thing is is awesome 😎

Great video! I'm jealous 😜 I believe a reusable bag will be available in the future that will hold 6-12 months of debris, but I am not sure when that reusable bag comes out.

Man, one of the things that stops us from running our S5 MAX whenever (preferably on a schedule!) without having to pick stuff up is wires and similar that it gets stuck on. I guess I'll keep waiting to upgrade, as Roborock still can't handle this situation. I love the "dock" idea that it cleans everything. Much closer though! I guess it'll be next year or the year until we can upgrade where they have really nailed cleaning normal people's homes! :)

I'm getting this based on the amount of time we DON'T otherwise spend vacuuming and mopping. Lol! My old model Neato threw itself down the stairs a couple months ago. Time for an upgrade. 😁👍

When a company makes a robot vacuum with NON proprietary bags that you have to keep buying, I’ll buy it!

I got the S4 max. It's on sale right now on amazon for about $300. If you don't need or want the mopping feature, the s4 max is a really good machine at a really good price. My floors have never been cleaner. The app features for the s4 max are almost identical to this vacuum. The object avoidance is not quite as advanced as this machine, but then again I don't have little kids strewing things about at random locations, but I do have 2 dogs that never pee or poop in the house. it does a great job of going around objects that weren't there during the original mapping. Cords and shoe laces can be a problem , no matter which machine you have. This thing does such a good job vacuuming, that mopping with a swiffer is a breeze after this thing has gone through the house. Not everybody can justify $1500 for a robot, but $300 is justified and will save you hours weekly and your floors will have never been cleaner than before you had this thing. Waking around barefoot has never been so uneventful. I run this thing every single day, because , why not? It's not my labor and it always manages to find something to suck up.

So happy this is out!!!

I love my roborock, think I got the s5. really good price, and adequate for my needs, though self emptying would be nice, the bin is so small. I also have a dyson and it gets stuff the robo doesn't, but the robo does relatively good with light duty cleaning.

Just got mine today. Thank you

Been watching you for to long while not being subscribed. Let's change that 🙌 Great review! Thanks, officially subscribed 👍

At out house we vacuum twice a day every day and mop once every day with the occasional run through in the evening. When robot vacuums first were introduced I was excited and was ready to invest in them. However I thought it better to wait and save my money for the right investment. Looks like that time is now. We would still manually mop and vacuum our house, but instead of manually doing it every day we would probably just do it on the weekend and hump day. We would use the robot more for "upkeep" so our deep cleaning days which tends to be Saturday are less of a work for us. ALSO. We recent got new furniture and have 2 massive dumb dumb shepherds and 3 devils masked as cats. Getting an air purifier made a significant difference with their hair and dander BUT as mention we still have to keep with the daily vacuuming and moping. With this.....ugh I hope it will help our pet problems.

I live in the desert (New Mexico), your recommendation goes a long way!

Wow this robot is advanced!

I loved the video! Very informative, funny and useful! Our tiles at home are the same. haha... Have already bought the robot! Just as a price update, we payed 1,149.00 euros.

First time watching a video on your channel, it was a very well done review compared to others i watched.

Beautiful video 👍🏼

I personally like bags over a container self empty system. Bags are better at filtration and filtration doesn't always last forever so replacing bags keeps filtration working well.

Nice - I just got my S7 MaxV Ultra a couple of days ago. I previously had an S4...I liked that one but this is a huge upgrade. Black Friday pricing of $1060 right now - still super expensive but a lot more capabable than the overpriced Roomba stuff.

Does it avoid carpeted areas until the mop is cleaned? Does it vacuum and mop at the same time?

Thanks so much for this video, extremely helpful! I also saw similar features in the Deebot X1 plus/omni model. Have you tried that one and what is your opinion on the features, functionality and value?

Do you have any feedback regarding the mop cloth smelling after being automatically cleaned since the dock isn't equipped with a dryer/heating element? Also, have you noticed any smell coming from the dirty water tank at the dock? Thanks!

For months I've been watching videos about this robot. I finally bought it two months ago and it completely changed my life for the better. I even use the video option to chat with my wife/kids/see if I forgot to turn off something.

Hi Reed, i have a question I'm hoping you might be able to answer. There's a new internet protocol releasing under the name, matter. apparently it's supposed to link all smart home services together. what would happen with our current smart home tech? would matter affect our automations that we're currently using with home assistant or ifttt? hope to hear your thoughts on this

Can you do a video on smart plug ideas & routines? I've seen some ideas throughout your videos but having a dedicated smart plug video would be helpful to come back to.

Great review. Im just wondering about the clean water tank and the mold comments. I’d like to just add Glitza. They say only add their product. Then say clean the mold in tank with toxic cleaners! Im adding glitza.

Hi, would it be good for a very large surface of pvc floors during the washing : how watering is the less amount of water put on the floor by this device? Thank you

I love it! Might have to switch from Roomba and get this one if I upgrade in the near future.

Lol the kids gonna be smart !!

Any thoughts on the security? Unencrypted connections and vague privacy policies made Roborock vacuums get the lowest security score on a roundup by av-test

Free stuff is always a good review.

Any idea how it does vs a long fur carpet? Thanks. Great vid btw.

WHat is the difference between this one (price?) and Chinese's Xiaomi? Srch for Xiaomi floor cleaning robot to see if it's the same, better or worse?

I love your white peg board in your office with the shelves. Could you possibly do a video overview of it?

"...using my two sweet, little monsters..." 😆💜❤️

I love watching your content, so thanks for your posts. I read about the safety standards of the laser of this product is not compliant with the trading standards. Have you got any feedback? on this?

I can’t find anything regarding the app integrations. I know on the hook mentioned home assistant but for those that don’t use that does it work with Alexa or SmartThings?

Dude, you really need to talk to your kids lol. Good review

Hi. Amazing product review. I see ur vids a lot. I got a question that I dont know if you could answer, here it goes; does this work with smart things or does any other robot vac woks with ST. Thanks so much for your input.

Really cool but I think that for 1500$ some extra features like being able to connect to the water line and being able to pump out the dirty water would have been a really nice addon. Is there some kind of way to use the floating sensors to trigger some devices with Home Assistant / SmartThings to automate it the DIY way (aka electric valve for the in and aquarium pump for the out)? Also, like you said, having to deal with bags is really annoying, in particular after spending all that money.

Amazing video! Already have the S5 max and I love it. Will probably upgrade it in the future. Sadly there is one really annoying issue with all roborock vacuums. The cliff detection sensors at the bottom think that a black carpet is a cliff... so it won't go on them. Since you probably have someone to contact at roborock I was wondering if you could point out this issue to them. They have known about it for the past 2 years but still no fix (like the ability to just disable the cliff sensors & put virtual walls at cliffs)

Love the irony of that wall-e tshirt

That's sweet. I hope we get one to do our laundry and dishes next,

I'll have to wait for the price to come down a little. Dude's tiled area is more than double my apartments total area! I just bought a regular vacuum for the hose attachment to clean out drawers blinds, and window sills, but I'd love a robot vac for the mopping. Can't wait until they give them personalities!

I get mine tomorrow!

Amazing, S6 is great, just the mop and the water tank is one weak point. This new one, with the dock is really and upgrade. Great job roborock

I wonder if they recommend only distilled water to prolong the life of the device?

At 1:45, i noticed your speakers on risers/stands. Where did you get them? That is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks!

Lol. Thanks Reed. Great looking vacuum.

You should give the Samsung AI+ a try. I just got it and am in love! It can be used as a rover security robot with video.

can i control the vaccum with the joystick remote on the phone remotely ? Or do i have to be in Bluetooth range

I've got two German Shepphards and 3 cats. It takes 2 (both Roborock) vacs to keep up with them in a daily basis. Send that thing my way, I'll see how it does.

Does the robot + app require active internet connection to function or they work well in a separate iot wifi without internet access? Can you still use the all the app features or it depends on webservices?

Did you set this up in Home Assistant? It seems there is a new integration that can be used with the Roborock app directly but there’s a lot of conflicting information.

I have three floors, and most floors are carpet; the only floors not carpet are the usuals: the bathrooms, kitchen, and front entryway. Would this be a good thing to buy? Probably don't need the Ultra as I only have a couple tiles floors. What do you think?

How about the availability and serviceability of battery replacement once it dies?

Can I take it to 2nd floor and do cleaning without taking heavy dock and bring it downstairs before charging finishes. Please reply ASAP as I might buy today because of sale.

Would love to see a comparison with the Deebot X1 OMNI

Hola!! Te sigo desde hace mucho tiempo y quisiera saber cómo hiciste ese rociador que funcionaba para ahuyentar a animales de tu jardín, gracias!!

@SmartHomeSolver, try to compare it ECOVACS DEEBOT X1 OMNI. Even though I recently got my Roborock s7 maxv ultra, I feel like Omni is a better with subtle perks such as mop drying, saying commands directly to the device etc.

Do you have to sign up for an account online in order to use it?

Cool and informative presentation. I do have a couple of questions that are outstanding: How is the encryption level between the vacuum and the app? Is it directly connected to the internet via wi-fi or is it connected to the base as a relay or some other hub?

Hi, does the mopping pads of Roborock s7 maxv ultra get bad smell since it doesn’t have self drying function?

Whats the lighting cube in your desk ?

Awesome! Coincidentally I have the same flooring but can you pour cleaning liquid mixed with the water inside the tank?

It's neat but I kind of wondering why they don't offer a flat version of the dock which fits under the kitchen cabinet (after removing a section of the socket). This way it could be connected to fresh and waste water and not use tanks. The vacuum tank could be cleaned with flushing it out as well :) A simple door mechanism where you can connect the removed kitchen socket board would hide it completely - which would be so much more comfortable than having it sit there in a room all the time

Please consider to compare it to the ihome Nova iHRV6-BLK, but this thing looks awesome and its sold out already!

Looks like a very compelling product, the bag thing is enough to make me hold off I have to say. If I'm going to spend 2k on something like this it needs to have a reusable bag! Hopefully the 2024 model fixes that issue and then I will buy one!

Just ordered mine after currently having an i7 plus and the Brava Jet m6. Only thing that seems like will be downside is roborock has only 1 year warranty

I could be mistaken but I’m sure the dock now has a no bag compartment option

Does having two adjectives at the end make it that much better?

What’s the digital green gadget on your desktop behind you? Thanks!

I'm sold. Bought.

Do you think it'd be possible to put the S7 brush on a S5max? The sides seems exactly the same, so that would be just a question of overall size. As the S7 brush handles hairs in a much better way, that would make a great upgrade for the S5max for a very small price :) that would be awesome if you could try that please!

Do you only use the soap they say to use?

Im debating with this over roomba s9+, what do you think of the s9+ compare to this?

Finely tried a roboVacunme. Had it 1 day. More trouble than it was worth. 😢. Took it back and went back to dust mopping and just plan ol using the upright vacuum.😂. Maybe we will give it another try in 10 more years.

with so many moving parts (esp the dock) i wonder how long it will actually last...

It looks like we can’t get this in Canada? Can anyone find the maxv ultra?

I really want one but we’ve got longer carpet in the bedrooms, does this mean this is completely unsuitable?

Nice. What’s that green minecraft type block on your desk?

We’ve been using the v7 for three months, it’s ok I guess. When it doesn’t get lost or stuck it does a good job of cleaning. But the software crashes sometimes, the lidar got stuck one time, and the brush gets jammed pretty easy. Not as bad as cleaning yourself but definitely not a miracle.

Is there any advice on how to connect it to 5 G Wi-Fi?

Nice video

Good video
