Jamie...this overview video you made for the S7 that I found is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! We just purchased/received the S7 and took it out for it's first spin. It got stuck on a carpet in the corner of our eating area. The carpet has a wide black stripe design on it so the S7 got confused and issued a "Trapped" message. I removed the items that confused it and "Resumed" the S7 via the App. The S7 sat for about a minute then decided cleaning was done and docked 😵‍💫. So I knew I needed to create a "No-Go" zone for that area but could not find how to do it. BUT.....your video sure did show me how and SO much more! This is AWESOME! Thanks so much for doing this!

this is the best explanation for the potential buyers (like me) the only thing that left is to check integration with Siri commands, and I'm in! Thanks for the video mate, really thorough!

Not just a tutorial, but great for prospective buyers like myself who are interested in learning more in-depth about the features and capabilities of the robot! Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to do this! I have had my S7 for a few months and learned the app on my own. I wish I would've seen this video before, it would've helped. There have been some features I didn't use until recently, like the "no-go" zones and it is a game changer instead of always picking up!

Got this vacuum for christmas and love it! I'm an architect and it has been so fun to see my house drawn using a laser equipped robot! You might mention as a no-go-zone the Christmas tree... In particular, the skirt beneath it. One disappointment is in the 3d furniture map, in which the walls & furniture are dark shades of gray rather than the more colorful examples shown in the manual.

Thank you so much. I’ve run the vacuum twice and was flying blind with the app. This video was just what I was looking for.

Terrific video! I just got an S7 and thanks to you I now feel like a professional. Much appreciated.

I just got my Roborock S7 and so needed help with the app. This video was excellent! I think I’m going to get a lot of good out of this machine now that I understand it better! I was freaking out since that app comes with no help! Thank you!

Great instructions!! I just received my S7 and there are so many options here, that I didn’t know about. So excited!!!

Thank you for this tutorial Jamie! Very clear and concise.

Thank you for your comprehensive and best explanation of the App.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This is the best instructional video for the S7 that I've seen! The Q&A's from viewers and you are extremely helpful as well! Thanks again!

Thank you for this well made overview of the app.

superb video, exactly what i was looking for!👍😁

Jamie, you ROCK! This helped me understand how to use this mapping system and customizations. Thank you.

Thank you for a great instructional video. I've had my S7 for 2 days so lots to learn.

Thank you!! Was trying to figure out forever for the no-mop zone on the S8 Ultra pro and this helped me figure out it doesn't have it!!

Thank you so much. I had no idea how to fully use the app and was flying blind. I also am happy to see all the different features. Thank you.

Thanks Jamie! I just got it and this is was so easy to set up with your video👌 big thumbs up!

Thanks you so much for this informative video. I would have had no idea how to use the many features of this vacuum without your video PF

Just bought an S7 and am a bit overwhelmed by tech so I have saved your excellent demo for a post panic powerup and education session… thank you 🥰😎

Thank you for this video. very helpful

That was so useful! Thanks!!!

Thanks for this helpful tutorial. I just bought one and am fretting over how to use this high tech robot, haha.

Thank you so much It was a fun hood video ❤

Thankyou its all starting to make sense now, great explanation. Well Done

Outstanding! Thanks

Extremely well done, congrats

THANK YOU for this video! Just got an S7 today and I never would have figured all this out on my own 🤣

Awesome video, thanks :]

Very good tutorial.

Hi there, thanks for this detailed video. I've got one question. When you setup no scrubbing mode does it actually lift the mop and vacuums only or does it still mops but doesn't scrup/vibrate the mopping pad etc? Thanks

Very informative, thank you. I just got mine and really should have watched this before I set the vacuum off and the map saving wasn't turned on 😅 If you have an area where the vacuum can't get into because it's too big or a rise is it better to add that area as a second floor? Thank you.

I cleaned the house with my old hose vacuum cleaner today. I wanted to make sure it was nice and clean for the first visit of out new S7. I just bought it today! We also got a thick hairy rug under the living room table probably 15-20 cm thick, warm and cosy. It insisted to clean there first and foremost but it got stuck each time, issuing a warning stuck message. So i need to learn no go zones and landed here :) Other than that, i got a full dust compartment elsewhere.. it's one efficient bot. Maybe it went to some places i could not reach.

Thank you so much. The manual doesn't really tell you how to start mapping. I was dreading this but now I am looking forward to it thanks to your excellent video. I bought my GF the S7 and the Auto bin for her Bday. Tomorrow we are mapping the house. I see it will be a bit of a process but once locked in it looks like it will be very worthwhile. Every time she used her entry level Roomba she had to move things and set up barriers. This I am hoping will end that. We also have 80% tile so this unit made even more sense. I am proud to be that guy that bought his GF a vacuum. I actually consider this the anti-vacuum. It will free her up from having to fuss with it. At least that's the way I sold it to her! :) She is actually very happy so win win.

Excellent video, thanks for that. Question, when scheduling, can I schedule by room only as I'd like to mop the kitchen more often than the whole house?

Jamie, Thanks for the video it was very informative. Question my house is one level flooring with the exception of my Lanai it has a drop off of a few inches. What do I do to make sure it doesn't go into this room. Do I always have to block this doorway or can I program it so it stops and doesn't go into this room and of the ledge? 2nd Question I have a deep thick carpeting will the mop lever bring the mop up enough not to get caught on the carpet? 3rd Question Can you program the robot S7 to do like the living room and kitchen each day and do the other rooms every few day's? Thanks,' Lou

When you select a full clean, does the vacuum know when its container is full, or do you have to check it? And if you have the auto empty charging base option is there settings for when to empty itself or is that automatic?

In-depth review! What would you recommend for mainly hardwood (and bathroom tiles)? I havent been able to find a video explaining the different suction modes. I was running mine on max all the time, then I wondered about the longevity of the floors (scratches) and the motor of the robot. Many in the forums do not recommend doing that. I have switched to Turbo, but for hardwood they say balanced is fine. I just recently used "quiet" but I'm not sure if it really picks up much. I want to keep the motor in good shape in the long run, but also have good suction for clean floors.

This was a great video. I have two questions for you on my S7+ I just bought primarily to do my kitchen. I have mapped that room by closing off the doors so that the unit could not escape elsewhere in the house. Now I want to map some other rooms on that same floor. What to do? How do I get it to not start cleaning the immediate room and instead go and explore the rest of the house? Secondly, if I map the house but then choose to move the base to a different room does this mess up the mapping from when the base was in a different room to begin with?

What a great video! Thank you so much! Only one question: when I select to vacuum AND mop a room which is partially covered with carpet, does it identify the carpet and mop only those areas when there is no carpet?

Thanks for your effort to teach us the app functions! We have encountered a small issue during the mapping process. A room could not be entered so it was only scanned by the LiDAR cone through the door opening. Have divided the cone into a room and named it. Would like to help the roborock s7 to enter the room, have it to map it and thereby complete my current map. Yes can for sure make a separate map and work with multiple levels but are there other ways to avoid a 2h re-mapping of the house?

Very awesome.

Jamie, thank you so much for the detailed awesome explanation of the app, this is extremely helpful. We purchased a couple weeks ago the Roborock S7 but did not use it yet due the the Christmas decoration around the house. Now that I viewed your video we are almost ready to rock ! One question I do have, we have a 4 inch drop from the living room to the kitchen, it is an open floor plan so when the S7 starts the initial mapping it would more likely go down the drop but could not make it back up. So what would be the best option for us to get a proper initial mapping so that we can add a no go zone later ? Thank you so much and happy new year...

Great overview! Question: When defining no-go and no-mop zones, the framed box has a solid line and a dotted line. What is the difference between the solid and dotted lines?

Great video, just set mine up did its first run earlier. Not bad though a bit pricey.

Hi, just got my Roborock s7 today. I would like to know to starts or mapping my house do i need to use only vacuum or the mop and vacuum together. I’m not sure about this. Another thing is if i want to vacuum 1st floor, do i need to bring the charging dock upstairs? Please help. Thank you

Thanks for a wonderful Video! How do you color code different rooms? How do you setup the map for different level of the home.

Jamie, in your opinion, what is the best way to map different floor levels. For instance, we have a large room where the kitchen is raised so the robot can’t get up there.

Thanks. Great tutorial for understanding the app! I got the mapping done and it's saved but the room division isn't done and there is no option to do that as well. Any help is appreciated

Thank you for the video, I'm considering an S7. I would need much water on the mop in the kitchen but only a slight amount on the laminate floor in the dining room, because too much water would destroy it. Is that possible? Also I would like to intense mop the kitchen every evening, while the rest of the appartment should be every second day with different settings for the water amount for each room. Can I do that? Thank you for taking your time to answer :)

HI Jamie, thank you for this very informative video. I have 2 roborocs, 1 for downstairs the S7 and the S5 for the upstairs of the house. How do I set these up? TIA

Wow, thanks so much for this video! I no longer pull my hair out! I have a question tho, I have a theatre room with 2 entrances with no doors, and the hallway goes past it, in mapping it has linked the hallway and theatre together as one colour and I want the theatre as its own room so I thought I would divide them but as my theatre room isn’t a straight box shape and the entrances and wall on the hall side are at an angle and I can’t divide it from the hallway in 1 straight line, I need to use the dividing lines on both entrances but I can’t seem to do that, any ideas on how to make the theatre room not part of the hallway?

Hi, thanks for this useful video. I do have a question: can I turn off the main power when the vacuum is 100% charged? Coz I don't wanna constantly charge it if fully charged.

Great review. Just one question, in the menu of robot voice, is Spanish available in your unit? I just got mine and it doesn’t have it. Greetings from Mexico.

Can we view the instructions before purchasing I’m just a little unsure if I purchase will it be too hard to set up as I am elderly? Thanks

Jamie, I have been enjoying the S7 but have uncovered two issues; 1. It is scrapping the paint off the baseboard and am unsure how to get it to stop it. What's to do? 2. The mop seems to leave tracks on my porcelain floor that is made to look like wood. It makes like streak lines where you can see it has gone back and forth like two to three inch wide faint black lines where it appears it is smearing the dirt around. I have washed the mop cloth but is quickly starts doing the marks before it has even finished the room. Any thoughts. Is there a way to get it do do the room in a different cross pattern than it always defaults to so that it might tackle the floor in a different way to ward off making those streaks. Lastly, is there a brush that can fit on these to scrub a bit better as an alternate with the mop cloth?

Great Job! Thx a lot! Can you also set a time to start cleaning?

Fantastisk hjælpsomt - TAK🤩

Thanks for this video! I am trying to find an explanation of the Map Rotation feature...Does it cause the vacuum to physically rotate its direction? or is it just to see the map differently in the app...thank you!

I have a question. Do I need to take out the mop head if I only want to use the vacuum? Thank you.

G'day from downunder, my S7 arrived yesterday, I'm currently trying to map my home. However my Dumbphone OS is too old for the Roborock App, so I'm trying to do it with the MI Home app. It's slowly mapping the house, however a lot of the functions you showed I'm guessing is with the Roborock App. I'm getting lost using the MI Home app. Is there any chance you could upload a "how to" using the Mi Home? Cheers Susan

How can we make S7 run double pass (paths perpandicular) in vacuum only mode? I am not using mopping as I don't have any hard floor. I want to set this as default option for full cleaning, not zone or room cleaning only.

Great video. I'm thinking of purchasing an S7 for Christmas. My wife and I both have an iphone. If the app is installed on both phones, can we operate the S7 independent of each other? I am assuming that we would have to use the same log in ID and password to access the app.

Great Vídeo ❤. Im wondering how could I set to mop only and after mop only. Is that possible?

If doing 2 floors would I need to move the dock each time for it to clean in future, once the initial map has been created ?

Hey Jamie, thank you for this video. You made it understandable . I have an issue maybe you know the solution. My S7 gets confused and will go over and over the same areas and miss others. It may be because my cat is curious and gets in front of the unit. Also, sometimes I forget to move the foot stool or chairs around the table are not sitting exactly the same. Any ideas?

My app doesn't have clean lines on all the walls. where there are windows, the map seems to extend out. Is this something that fits itself in time of can I add walls and delete the outside section?

Will this new app design come to the Roborock S6 Pure?

Hello! Just wondering if you have an in depth app walkthrough for the G10 model? Thanks.

I have just remapped my home as missed the toilet last time as accidentally shut the door. Now I am having trouble dividing my rooms, I move the dotted line around until it is solid but when I press the tick to save it, it says failed. Not sure why? Any tips?

Hi, is it possible to define a zone where the roborock is lifting the mop and only vacuums? Just like the behaviour on a carpet. I need this Here when the robot is going from one room to another, we have a metal separation in our House that might destroy the mop...

I know this is old, but if I set a mop only full, will it automatically avoid carpeted areas?

When you press the phisical button to Clean, what does he does? Is it pre programable?

Can I add rooms to the map after the initial mapping? Eg walk in pantry that is too messy to open the door for initial mapping?

Thanks for a very detailed video Jamie (definitely hit 'Like'). Will definitely flatten the learning curve for when I successfully complete mapping. I hate to use you for support, but I have been having problems trying to do the initial mapping of my house and it would help to know how it decided a map was 'savable. After three attempts it finally appears to have mapped all the rooms, but when I go to save the map, it gives me a warning about manually saving. I'll definitely take your advice and turn off cleaning and send it out to map once more once the battery recharges. It has taken it it about 90 minutes to map our living areas (on the third try) but had to come back to recharge once to clean the 765 SF of floor space (no doors, just wide spans with a curved staircase in the middle - so oddly shaped). When does it decide it has enough info to automatically save the map so that I can create and edit rooms? Thanks!

Hi! My "RoboCop" arrived yesterday😍 I did the mapping, but I can't setup the number of cycles for the individual rooms. Can you help me? Tks 🤗

Can this robot be managed from multiple phones? (My phone and my wife’). Or the robot can only be managed from one unique phone?.

It is a great vid. But is the total working time goes to zero after hard reset? If so how do we find out the real total working hour?

Well, I wish I had found this a couple days ago, might have saved me some frustration and confusion. You will definitely save me some going forward, Thanks! I had one of the early Roombas and I’m glad to see the tech has evolved to make it (mostly) much more than a drunken toddler now.

Can you trust the invisible wall, so that the Roborock S7 doesn’t fall down the stairs ? If you’ve got experience with this use case, please reply. Thank you ☺️

I didn’t see in the vid but can you pin on map and just clean that area? I want to get S series so bad

hello. how i can chance my roborock cleaning direction?

My first floor must be too big. S7 won’t cover it all. Should I move base and set up as different map? Thanks for your video!

How does one schedule cleaning?

Can you use a map for the S4 with the S7?

Quick Question....How do you delete just a room and not the whole floor map? Thanks.

I had some things under a bed at first so robo just didn't go under there but then I removed them and it still won't go under there how do I change that?

In my app i dont see the mop option and my robot has a mop on it what can i do?

where to find the access to the camera? :O thanks for the video anyway!

I've managed to get a map for every level. But how can I choose a level in the app, so that I can choose a room to clean on another level ? I can not find it in the app (and I'm up to date - current version 02.16.12) 😳😲😔

You have a different app than i have. I have Version3.5.8_002034 And it says it is up to date?

Thank you this really helped me. I have a question i had to stop the mapping process as i had to go but how can i continue the process again that it will continue mapping from where it left off?

Why does my roborock use so much water when it's mopping

Trying to divide and set up rooms is a pitfa 🤬 Trying to tell the robot where to vacuum vs mop etc is a joke. I had to download the MI Home app because the Roborock app since the update won't connect to the S7 plus vacuum wifi.

Huge negative to, well any internet of things, is that it won't connect to 5G internet - which at the moment is only an issue in new houses - so the app is useless for me

Way too complicated for me. The complicated software will make me have to return it.
