I like my maxv takes pictures, I locate sometimes stuff under the couch or beds with it :). I bought the dryer module for the dock and it works perfect

I purchased the S7 MaxV Ultra three weeks ago. I watched many video reviews on Roborock and other brands. Already having an S6 for a few years, I decided to stay with Roborock. (Since I already had the Roborock app for the S6 installed on my phone, I merely scanned the OCR code. It pulled up my app, added itself to the home wi-fi, and added the S7 portion to the app. It happened so quickly, I had to check the app again to be sure it really happened!) While many of the Roborock comparisons were helpful, yours was the single-most valuable comparison when it came to my own needs in my home. Since we have some very low pile carpeting, we also have a lot of wooden floors, so the S7 made more sense. I am very pleased with it and want to thank you for your valuable review. My only gripe is there is no warning when the onboard dust bin is full. Omo is, so far, the only cleaning solution recommended by Roborock. I add a capful for every full container of clean water. It does a wonderful job on the wooden floors. If you combine a vac/mopping job, the mop head rises appropriately and won't even dampen rugs. Emptying and rinsing the dirty water container after you've finished a day's mopping will help prevent any odors. Adding a few drops of disinfectant, like Lysol, is very effective as well. Since I only do full-house mopping once a week, I routinely remove the mopping pad and toss it in the washer, letting it air dry. Another way to avoid odors. No robot is completely maintenance-free, but the S7 comes very close. It does a big job in a big house, saving me hours of time. It was well-worth the investment. Thanks again.

THANK YOU!!! I am glad I decided to purchase the S7MaxV Ultra. I will be keeping it. Thanks a million.

Excellent comparison. Makes me comfortable in keeping my S7 MaxV Ultra, particularly since the vast majority of my home is hard floors, where the S7 excelled.

Thanks ! I made a purchased a few weeks ago and lucked out with the S7 optimizations for my hard floors. Video feed and maps are great, though I would really like an option to use the robot as a mobile camera with motion controls and have it take higher resolution stills without the onboard light while stopped.

This is a fantastic review. Any thoughts on the new S7 Max Ultra (not MaxV)? It added auto mop drying, got rid of the camera, and has slightly higher suction power (5500 Pa in the new Max, 5100 Pa in the MaxV). I read that the reason the MaxV is more expensive is the camera's ability for live video and video calls (plus the more advanced camera in MaxV improves its object avoidance). Any thoughts?

Hi, did you get the MaxV? Any good please?

Great video! In my opinion both robots are good, one on hard floors and one on carpets and rugs...but the S7maxV has many more advantages.1 Can be used with multiple bases 2 You can keep the robot working if the base breaks 3 You buy the drying module separately and if it stops working you don't have to disassemble the dock station or send it for assistance. Many options for S7maxV that S8 pro ultra does not have, so I bought S7MaxV and the base separately. Ciao from Italy.

@@jasonpatel9969 Hi, the S7maxV only works with the bases of the maxv line. I bought a s7maxv with a small base and the ultra base separately. Roborock S8 pro ultra only works with its base, you can't buy a spare base for example. Then I bought a S7MaV plus and I can wash the mop and fill the tank by simply changing them from one unit to another. The modularity of the s7maxv allows combinations that roborock s8 cannot, without considering that in suction it obtains better results than the s8 pro ultra.

@@miromura Thanks for your experience! It's such an expensive purchase, so I'm diving down all these research rabbit holes to make sure I get the right one. To complicate things even more, I just heard about the Roborock Q Revo, which came out on June 11, the same release date as the S7 Max Ultra! Weird.

Thank you for this in-depth review, exactly what I was looking for to answer the question is it worth upgrading my S7 MaxV Ultra with newer generation or not : since I don't have any carpet the answer for me is NOT. Please continue with similar reviews for next generation products, especially potential S8 MaxV or similar high end products. I have a feeling that Roborock almost reached the top of performances, so the new models don't seem to bring too much evolution. However I'd expect Roborock to keep the model lines as Pro Ultra is not really equivalent to MaxV Ultra...

Thanks for the video! Great comparison and I have now made my decision for purchase!

Great comparison, thanks!

Fantastic comparison video! Great job! I feel better about my S7 max V purchase now

Thank you for the detailed reciew!!

They can probably update and mitigate the airflow in S8 by revving up the electric suction motor by 10%.

Brilliant comparison, thanks for posting it. It would be great if you could do a follow-up comparison of the S8PU performance on hardwood floor using the rubber side brush. Thanks!

I was ready to upgrade my S7 MaxV Ultra to the S8 Pro Ultra until I learned they took away the color web cam, love video streaming, and remote control abilities. Hopefully a future S9 brings those features back.

They have to make the S8 Pro Ultra with weaknesses so they can offer the S8 Pro Ultra Max next year.

Looks like the 8 isn't worth the $600 difference in price! Great video thank you.

Can we see the hair pick up difference with both models using the 5-spin attachment vs the 3 part bristle? Also can we see that difference with them interchanged between the 2

So basically the S7 MaxV Ultra is better in every way except for deep cleaning the carpet. I think I am going to keep the S7 MaxV Ultra for the moment, they really messed this one up.. non removable water tank and mop pad and no camera are deal breakers for me. I understand that camera can be a security issue for some, but I used it multiple times to check if we turned off the stove while away from home, or just to check if the windows are closed.

Thank you. Very well done and documented 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Nice review!

You should probably also tell about some of the glaring faults, like you cant program the vacum without internet connection, a phone, gps location,a forced online account and a forced low security password both on account and your wifi. You also have to accept of your info being shared freely with other companies (remember the vacum records video when ever it is used). And even in 2.4ghz it don't work with a MASSIVE amount of routers.

This remains a concern, so I use it only on the tiles. A robot cleaner can drag around particles in the mop unit during mop mode , though this an issue for any mop or hand roller cleaner. Perhaps the robot cleaner handles this issue better because it vacuums, then mops. It would be good to program allows more rinses of the mop per floor usage rather than asking the robot to do several passes.

anyone know if there's an onboard microphone on the S8 Pro Ultra? Thanks.

Great vid. Airflow is more important in my opinion than extra agitation, and particularly for both edge cleaning and long hairs. So, that really just leaves deep cleaning carpet performance, and in Vacuum Wars' test (whom I've found to be more rigorous and trustworthy than others), the dual brushes didn't seem to matter; S8 actually performed worse than the S7 MaxV, which surprised me-they speculated this is due to the lower airflow. Not going to upgrade this time. S8 MaxV next year maybe?

@@eiceys4612 i had the MaxV for around 5 months, it's been great! I just helped a friend get an S8 (Just the base model) and they are very happy with it too. The base S8 got the dual rollers, but the mop is same as the S7 Maxv with being 1 plate vibrating and detachable from the robot, as well as the water tank being detachable. So it's kind of between of the 2, but its unknown at this point if a separate dock will come for that at all, so if you want a Ultra dock you need to buy an S8 Pro with a dock. The S7 Maxv can be bought as a standalone with only a charging dock and you can later buy a plus or ultra dock. With all hard floors i would personally pick the S7 MaxV since I value the vacuum performance above the mopping performance, nothing so far seems to indicate that the S8 performs on par with the S7 Maxv on hard floor. If carpets the choice is S8 of course, the Dual rollers are great for that. But it costs a little on the hard floor performance. Nothing is free it seems 😄

We have new low pile carpet and our Ausselier's hair just doesn't all get picked up by the S7. I think the problem lies in its one brush design.

I am excited for the s8 ultra despite it having less air flow due to the dual brushes system. This does pose a question. Is it possible to run the S8 with one roller brush to allow for more airflow or does the s8 recognize if a brush is missing and won’t run? This could open up possibilities for a replacement bracket for single brush mode on the S8 if it does indeed still run with a single brush.

It does work with one roller, but I don't think it improves the suction since the gap is larger. If someone could 3d print a roller cover with a smaller opening and make it possible to attach some kind of filling material where the roller is missing, then it could have a higher suction power than the maxv and also have a spare roller.

These things are starting to be good. Unfortunately, the ones that are worth anything are over $1000. Anything cheaper isn't worth owning for the average house.
