Of all the bots I’ve tried over the last few years, I’d say with confidence Roborocks get stuck the least of any brand.

Even though my robot had to navigate some fairly tall flooring transitions plus things like rugs and mats, getting stuck was not a major concern with this vacuum. Roborock vacuums have become one of my favourites for their heroic ability to avoid obstacles and keep from getting stuck. Even so, for my day to day cleaning of pet hair and general upkeep of dirt on both carpet and hard floors, it worked extremely well. Sometimes it was able to pick up the scattered dirt later on in it’s cleaning cycle, but sometimes I’d find stray lentils. On carpets the S7 Max V Ultra didn’t seem to do as well when I’d spill stuff on the carpet for it to vacuum (oatmeal, lentils) the vacuum tended to scatter some types of debris and it wasn’t able to get finer flour out of the fibres as well. While my testing showed liquids did get smeared around a bit on initial passes, in subsequent passes it wiped up every last drop. With small liquid spills, again, this is not designed to vacuum them up, but to wipe them with the damp mop. The bot was easily able to clean all types of debris from my hard floors and the addition of the mopping pad is actually a great follow up to the vacuuming, as that damp wipe helps keep any lingering dust at bay. I was really pleased with the cleaning performance of the S7 Max V Ultra. They’re simply designed to give your floors a light wipe to keep dust and light dirt down. When, like this one they’re also mops, I also spill milk or soy sauce just to see what they do, though I will note these bots, like the Roborock S7 Max V Ultra are not designed to sop up large or wet spills these are not shopvacs. When I test out a robot vacuum I put all the bots in my home through the same paces: I spill flour, sugar, rice or oats and crackers on both carpet and hard floors.

The footprint of the full device when docked measures about 19 deep x 19 high x 16 wide and you will definitely need to find dedicated space for placement, where the bot also has enough space to back out of its garage easily.

It does take up a very large footprint, which given all that is going on inside the space station is probably not surprising. This robot and docking station are definitely more techy and basic, no it does seem obvious Roborock has done its best to make things as streamlined as possible. Sadly I don’t think Roborock is embracing that viewpoint. Robot vacuum manufacturers have been making small strides in the last couple of years trying to make their devices look less utilitarian and more homey. In under five minutes your a robot will be ready to go. Getting things paired takes just a few clicks and includes entering your home Wi-Fi password.

Install Roborock appįor this you need the Roborock app, where you’ll sign into or sign up for an account. Next it’s on to getting the robot connected to your homes Wi-Fi. In the base station there are three receptacles one holds a sealed vacuum bag for emptying the robots on board dustbin, the other is a freshwater tank, and the third holds dirty water from cleaning the mop.Īfter unpacking everything and plugging it in, you’ll simply fill the freshwater tank, and there is already a vacuum bag installed for you. There is the base station, and the robot unit itself. Though the package is huge and there seem to be a lot of parts and pieces, everything goes together intuitively and it’s easy to get things set up.

Getting the Roborock S7 Max V Ultra set up was actually quite easy.
