If the water tank level is not visible, you could try weighing the robot before and after a water fill up. Differences in weight equals to water gained or lost by the robot. Just make sure to consider any auto-emptying features of the dust pan as this may affect weight measurements.

It seems weird you didnt consider the S7, as the mopping ability is identical to the S7 MaxV (no dock) as well as being VERY close with vacuuming capabilitirs, yet it can be had for pretty much half the price in most regions. It would honestly have been a great pick in most categories, and should’ve atleast been included for suggestion.

I bought a S5 Max last year based on your videos. Now, I can't live without it! I'm so glad that the old S5 Max is still holding up against newer competitors. I'm here to thank you Vacuum Wars for helping me choose a great robo vac. It was an amazing year with the s5 max and your content! I love both! Peace.

I've been wanting to upgrade to a newer more feature rich robot vacuum for a while but my dang s5 max is still going strong! At this rate I'll never get a new robot vacuum 😭

Still no Dreame W10?

Got the S5 Max last year and it's still such an incredible investment. Easy to use. App is great. Takes care of everything. Emptying the bin and filling the water isn't a big deal, especially for the much lower price range.

There is one more test you should do: the grout line test. In my house I have 1/16" grout lines between my tiles and frustratingly enough I have yet to find a robot able to properly clean them. Secondly you should also test how they handle not dried messes on your floor, for instance liquid grape juice might just be spread by the side brushes instead of being cleaned.

Hi @vacuumwars, thanks for videos like these, it really helped me to choose my robot vacucum. As robot vacuums are bought not only to clean well, but for their convenience, I'd recommend adding couple more tests for them: 1/ Loudness on moving, not cleaning => when spot cleaning on the other side of the house, how loud the robot is when getting there? There should be no cleaning on this movement, and still, Roborock, for example, is so loud. 2/ Same case as before - moving a to spot, but this time, there is a patch of carpet in the way. Let's say it has to go through the room when it's stationed (hard floor), then another room with carpet, and after that there is the room where spot cleaning should occur, hard floor again. Some robots, when going over carpet, turn on high suction even when the mode is set to "mop only" or "no cleaning - only move to destionation spot", which is certainly not wanted. 3/ How does the vaccum handle mirrors? Let's say you have mirror on wardobe doors. Full height - top to bottom. How does the vaccum handle it? Does it recognize it itself? Does it at least allow you to mark it in the app, similar to no-go zone? Do does it just map "room" behind the mirror? 4/ App/API - does the API (or at least their app) show when was the last time you emptied dirty water? Does it show how much clean water is left? You know, when Roborock S7 tells you there is almost no water, it's too late to do anything with it. You are already out, and it's mid-cleaning and now it stops mopping because there is not enough water. It needs to tell you way before there is last 2 drops. The same with dirty water. It doesn't mater when the tank is half empty and is good to get water from 4 more cleaning. But when it sits there for a week, it will start to smell, so you'd need to se ethe time of last cleaning in the app/API.

Awesome. I bought Roborock S5 Max after watched your review years ago, and happy about that. I don't think the urge to upgrade to S7 Max untill they can literally mop the edges to zero inch. Waiting for that day. I also don't care about the camera AI whatsoever because i always clean up toys and move all chairs up to the table before robot cleaning. 😅

Once I started having issues, getting Roborock to offer any reasonable support is frustrating and time consuming -- they have deplorable customer support.

@@_TrueDesire_ if you have carpets get the S7 Max. If you have pets (and pet waste may be an issue) get a MaxV (S6 or S7). IMHO there's not that much difference between the S7 and the S6 in terms of cleaning ability. S6 do clean nearly perfectly, even dried stains if you add a little bit of cleaner and not straight water. I used chlorinated water (made at home by using electrolysis with salty water). It completely evaporates and is thus very environmental friendly. And just get a big bag of mops, like a dozend, as you just put them in the washing machine together with your kitchen rags etc. at 60°C. :)

Nothing beats the Dreame Z10, as it includes a dock for such a low price is such a life changer, i just don't have to clean out the bin for !!TWO!! months before the bag is full. Daily run at 7 AM keeps everything so clean.

Hello, thanks for the video. Helped narrow it down! Question for you....so I have an 18 month and lvp flooring on first floor and as you can imagine it's very hard to keep clean. So got the idea to get a vacuum and mop robot to help with this. So I can clean when we go to bed at night or out for the day. I thought about getting the roborock s5 max just because its about more affordable. However I'm just wondering now if I should really invest in the s7max v ultra? Like will it give me a lot more features and benefits that will I love as a mom? Or is the s5 absolutely capable and fine? Thanks

Even if I'm not interested in the specific brand, I still watch your videos because they are extremely informative and they have helped me make better decisions simply based on what you have taught me. Thank you, you are amazing!

I bought the s7 MaxV ultra after your recommendations (and after returning my iRobot j9 and their mop) and I am blown away with how great it is. My iRobot models took 3-4 weeks of daily mapping runs, me rearranging furniture, editing the maps, and soooo much effort, just to get it to MAP my house. Then, after a few months, the maps started to degrade (they say you need to re-map often 🤦🏻‍♀️). The Roborock mapped my entire house PERFECTLY in 15 MINUTES!!!!! No effort by me!

@@aval5098 i underline your comment! The way of testing and the scenarios are much better than the other competitors!

I’ve seen other reviews where the X1 Omni also performed poorly for mopping, so you aren’t the only one. Some of them thought it was because the manufacturer-supplied pads didn’t absorb water sufficiently to wet, nor sop it up from the floor, and found much better results with aftermarket pads. Since the X1 is supposed to wet it pads in the Omni Base station before running, I wonder if there was some kind of update to software or firmware that increased that wetting cycle, or perhaps dispenses more water to the pads in general while it’s running? It does seem like something has changed with pad wetting, because in this most recent review it does so well it that regard and not so much in your past review and in those from other sources. Sometimes microfiber isn’t very absorbent when it’s new either, so that could have something to do with it depending on how much the pads have been washed by the base or if you’ve washed them yourself.

I think the Roborock G10S and S7MaxV, but G10S has even more features like video-camera, mop self-dry option and direct connection to water/sewage option. Unfortunately, currently only in China.

I'm glad two Roborock models ranked in the top three. For the deebot X1, check your mop plate, apparently there was an issue with the mop plate not dispensing enough water, Ecovacs is aware of this and will replace the mop plate if yours has this issue, this could be why you weren't getting good mop results. I don't use the mop feature very much on the Roborock S7 Max V but it is an excellent robot, one of my favorites.

Hi... Awesome video. Very insightful and useful. Here in Portugal we can also find Rowenta (a German brand) and Roomba. Would you consider adding these to the comparison?

Any suggestion or comparison about iHome Nova iHRV6 robot vaccum?

I have a question for those more knowledgeable individuals. I'm really considering upgrading my admittedly basic Xioami Mi to a mop-combo model, which explains why I've spending all day watching these test videos. For those that already have a mop combo model, does the mopping function spread or drag whatever dirt it cleans to other areas of the room? I have a 2 cats, one of which is a 3 month old kitten. Every now and then he tracks small bits of poop from the kitty litter on to the floor. That's just a part of being a kitten, they eventually grow out of it in adulthood. Anyway, this is the reason I'm interested in getting a mop combo, but 'm afraid it might simply spread a thin layer of pop infused water around the entire apartment. Does anyone have any experience with this problem?

I was thinking about buying the Dreame D9. Any thoughts on it? Do you suggest it?

This is a video comparing mopping of the robots right.. So with the Dreame brand. Why did you choose the Z10 over the newer W10? The W10 is more of a focus on mopping, so looks to be more relevent to this test. I only own the Z10, not the W10 so have no idea how it actually performs. That said, i rarely ever use it to mop. Too much effort getting the mop attachment out, filling with water, etc etc. I havnt looked much into these newer vacs with auto water fill/empty and cleaning yet. But I dont think I see any 'leave the mop attachment in the dock when not mopping'. I think I've seen some that raise the mop up from the floor when not being used, but that can still potentially touch thick carpets and other things like that imo. Maybe a couple of years from now and they'll have that sorted plus a mop that comes even a little close to the effectiveness of hand mopping.

Please test the new Bissell Crosswave x7 series!! They claim to be better than their older ones!

Doesn't some of these robot vacuums come with an optional compatible cleaning solution offered by the manufacturer? Of course that's an additional variable which would further complicate tests.

Aha S5 MAX continues! I love that its still keeping up with its excellent design.

how do they compare to a dedicated mopping robot like the braava m6?

Often it is said that you need to clean out the robot vacuum properly, often with another vacuum if you have it. What would the ideal combination of robot and vacuum cleaner be? Roborock plus a small hand vacuum?
