❤😊 excellent professional review. I have been using the Roomba robots since they first came out and the competition has moved ahead of them by quite a margin. To solve the issue of damaging baseboards I have placed a soft White velcro strip on the bumper in front of the robot vacuum. It irritates me that my roombas keep on getting stuck in places they shouldn't and frequently stop working above the stairs. I have concluded that I will not purchase Roombas again. I have gone through four models over the past 15 plus years., and I'm going to watch your video several times before I make my next purchase. 😊 Thank you for sharing your tests with all of us out here . I truly appreciate you're clear solid review.❤

I would rly recommend the j7 (not combo) if you aren’t looking for mopping! I ended up putting a piece of thick, clear tape on the front (the type meant for cars, like a 0.26 inch thick), and it doesn’t do any damage. Plus, the navigation is super smart and it hasn’t gotten stuck for me after a year of use!

Awesome review! I have owned the Roborock S7 Max Ultra for above a year now... But this is how much I love it..I have bought 2 now, because my first one ran over dog poop, which was the first time my dog has pooped in the house ever and he is 10 yrs old. I had just purchased my Roborock S7 Max Ultra and STUPIDLY I didn't feel like i needed to set the poop detection because my dog has never pooped in the house...long story short.. It was a huge mess, I tried to clean the robot and ended up with "cliff sensor error".. I ended up purchasing another one instead of going through the hassle of trying to get it replaced because I knew it was my fault.. Thats how much I love my Roborock! Even though it was very painful! I would hate to be without it, ever!

I just purchased a T10 Omni to replace a J7+ (non mop) and pretty much agree with the info here. I tried a little Bona floor cleaner (recommended for Roomba's) mixed in and it did not like that -- mop cleaning failed (complaining about overflow) and traction became a real issue, so much that it would end up driving in circles -- but I might try a lower mix ratio. The new T20 Omni has the lifting pads now and that is a feature I wish the T10 had because it sorta reduces the purpose of the auto wash if you have multiple hard floors separated by carpet as the robot will not travel across it with mops attached. Real poor showing from the Lefant given their reply, if you're going to charge above combos (and 3x some top-tier mop only robots), you better have the best performance. Ridiculous pricing from them.

I have zero carpet, no pets, and no long haired people. The Narwal Freo has been an absolute dream in my home. My only real complaint is that the mapping feature is a "one shot" approach. If you don't have every space available when you run the initial mapping task, there is no way to update the map to include a new space without starting over from scratch (it doesn't learn / adjust on the fly). Mopping was my main goal with this robot and it does a beautiful job!

@TheHookUp Жыл бұрын

I actually think that might be getting added to the app as we speak. Last week I noticed a prompt that said "new mapping area discovered, add now?" in the app. Clicking "add now" resulted in an error, but I think it's coming. I 100% agree that the Narwal Freo is the best mop on the market.

@jdbarney Жыл бұрын

@@TheHookUp Excellent - that would be a really nice feature to have. I honestly don't mind the lack of integration with other smart home devices, but for the price of these robots - it's not unreasonable to expect that they should have that too.

Hi, great reviews as always! Smart home integration is key, and I think all manufacturers can do better. I really wish mine would; report which room they are in, when did the last clean certain rooms, how is the water level in the tanks, just give me more data! I also do a similar schedule like you, but use NodeRed to let them be smarter so they run when we are away etc. I´m also using the X1 Omni and I got significantly better mopping performance with aftermarket thicker pads and I lay 1 credit card which I coped up so I can put one in the "docking" part of the spinner which holds the mop. This all forces the mops down more, you might run into issues where they might snag, but mopping is much better! I also belive the Ecovacs has shipped new mop holders which goes further down on newer batches of X1s. That might also explain why the T10 did so much better. I run the S7 MaxV and X1 omni and I find that the S7 does not pick up pet fur on carpets, which is a shame since that was the reason to add it. I find that having 2 vacuums is a sweet spot, since one might snag but sacrifices itself so that the next one can go on. Makes the probability of a failed clean 5-10% rather than 20%. At least in our home with 2x toddlers and a big dog.

Looks like I'll be getting the roborock as being able to clean up hair well on hard floor is important for me. Although mopping isn't as great we don't wear shoes in the house so it should be fine if mopping capability is lower.

Excellent job as usual Rob. There is one issue that has failed a number of vacuums for me - false cliff sensor errors. If you have a mat/rug with a high contrast color pattern ( e.g. black and white patterns) it falsely tripper the IR cliff sensor into thinking the dark area are a step edge. The Roborock S7 and Dreamtech vacuums have this issue. There are kludgy workarounds that involve 3D printer sensor covers but no real vendor IR sensor zone lockout. Another test for your collection! Any thoughts?
