When the robot moves around the corner, it will always hit the pet bowl when it comes from the other way, the cameras spot and avoid it. I have a pet food bowl that sits on the floor on the corner of the island in the kitchen. There are items that can trip it up, however. AI training has come on a long way since the initial launch, with the S7 MaxV now able to avoid most objects brilliantly. It will spot shoes, cables and pet mess, avoiding them automatically. The S7 MaxV takes the camera from the S6 MaxV, which enables the vacuum to detect any obstacles, so you can set the S7 MaxV cleaning without you having to tidy up beforehand. It’s designed to avoid becoming tangled with hair – and it’s successful in this regard: I live in a house with multiple cats and several people with long hair, and there wasn’t the usual tangle to cut away. On the robot’s underside is a soft rubber floor brush. This won’t replenish the mopping system, but it will empty the bin automatically.Īround your home, the S7 MaxV includes all of the clever features that Roborock has developed over the years. There’s also a version of the S7 MaxV with just an auto-empty docking station. Here, there’s practically no limit – for long periods the S7 MaxV will look after itself, and is always ready to go.
One of the issues that I highlighted with the S7 was that the vacuum came with only one cloth in the box having to wash it regularly would put the robot out of mopping operation. Dirty water is then sucked into the waste water tank for you to empty later.Īgain, the tank holds enough water to last for a couple of months, so you could even go on a long holiday and come back to a home that’s been cleaned weekly.

When the robot reverses into place, the dock can fill up the water tank, plus that fresh water tank is used with a motorised scrubbing brush to clean the microfibre cloth used for mopping. The self-emptying function here is brilliant: it’s far less messy, with the relatively small bin on the robot itself no longer an issue.Īs well as emptying the robovac of dust, the dock also features two water containers: one for clean water and one for waste water. Replacements cost around £25 for a pack of 12. Each 1.8-litre bag should last a couple of months. Sure, when the S7 MaxV pulls up, the dock will empty the robot automatically, sucking dirt into a bag that sits on top. I’ve seen self-emptying docks before – with the iRobot Roomba J7+, for example – but this one is a little different. However, the version on review here is the Robrock S7 MaxV Ultra, which comes with the Empty Wash Fill dock. In this regard, using the robot is no different to its predecessor. With this model, the bin sits beneath a flap on the vacuum’s lid, which you remove and empty yourself.įor mopping, you simply insert the mop bracket and fill up the fresh water tank at the of the robovac. The basic Roborock S7 MaxV ships with a standard charging dock.
Dock adds emptying and cleaning into the mix.With the company’s excellent mapping and brilliant mop, this is currently the pinnacle of robot vacuum cleaners. The answer is the Roborock S7 MaxV, which takes the camera from the S6 MaxV for automatic object avoidance, adding the option of a smart self-emptying and mop-cleaning dock. Having produced the superb Roborock S7 with its sonic mopping system, I wondered where Roborock could go next. Mopping Including a fresh-water tank, the robot wets the mopping cloth and cleans with an ultrasonic scrubbing action.Type A robot vacuum cleaner and mop, it offers an optional docking station that can clean the mop cloth, refill water and empty the dust bin.
